Who uses make up? I don't, as I think it's horrible.

I use it. My skin tone is kinda uneven so I use foundation and concealer to even it out a bit. It's VERY hard to find foundation and concealer that suit my skin tone as my skin is very pale. It really pisses me off that most companies make them orange or yellow, you think they'd notice that human skin isn't orange OR yellow. I try to make it look as flawless and natural as I can. I also use eyeliner and I love smudged liner under the eye. I'm not really a fan of lipstick so I usually use lipgloss.
I've learned to put up with the sensory issues with makeup. I feel more secure when I wear it.
I'm NOT preppy or concieted, I just like to look slightly less ugly than I am.

The guys I have dated have ussually prefered that I dont wear makeup,so they dont end up getting it all over themselves...course,they were a "little different" in many ways.

I have worn it off and on.I always feel like I am "in drag" and find it uncomfortable.I dont bother with it now that I am old(43).

I do, but I only wear it to school, sometimes shopping, and special occasions. I've got beautiful skin already so I don't have to wear it if I don't want to, plus it's hard finding shades light enough for my skin tone, being fair and all.

Women taste and smell better without makeup.

It took me until I was 25 to even have a face that didn't look like a little kid, so make up was out of the question for me until then. I only wear it to work now...but I actually think I look younger without it, it's just the job I do sort of requires you to look like you made an effort :(

A little...foundation to even out my skin tone a bit and help with the sunken eyes...a little blush so that I don't look like a corpse. :lol:

I have really fair skin and tend to look "bloodless" some days...

It irritates my eyes. I save it for Halloween.

I only wear it if I am going somewhere where there will be a lot of pictures taken. Otherwise I just wear SPF 50 sunscreen to keep my skin as pale as possible.

I occasionally wear subtle makeup when i go to school, and all i wear is grey eyeshadow and clear lip gloss. i could never wear mascara. i hate plastic eyelashes--they are so unnatural.

I do. Not on the weekends generally, but on the weekdays. There's basically five phases of it. I lay it out on the bathroom counter, in five little clumps, and simply head from right to left.

1) Concealer.

2) Foundation + little sponge thing to put it on with. (Aren't those things just great?)

3) Powder compact + brush to apply it with.

4) Lip liner and lipstick. (And by the way, if you apply the lip liner more as a "base coat" of lipstick than as a liner, it helps the actual lipstick stay on much better.)

5) Eyeshadow. (This is lightly applied with my finger, not with an applicator, or else it invariably ends up too heavy.)

Then, I'm ready to go. I don't bother with mascara or blush, nor do I wear eyeliner.

I love make up. I use:
Foundation, applied with this wedge-sponge thing.
Bronzer on my cheekbones.
Eye shadow, and make it darker at the corners.
Mascara, only a little bit.
Lipstick, and I use a little bit and I blot it to make the 'stained lip' look.

I go for the natural look.

I don't. I don't like the feel of it and the way I look with it on.
