Does makeup make people insucure?

Question

I was just wondering, i got back from a stay away camp 2 days ago, and when i was there you weren't allowd to wear ANY makeup. I'm a pretty confident girl, but i realized that with not wearing any makeup for 2 weeks, i became even more confident. I realized that i was beautiful without makeup on, and that true beauty really does come within. So, do you think that makeup is just a way to coverup our insucuritys, or do we just wear it for fun???

Answer 1

I think makeup is sometimes more of a fun thing, or something to do to make beautiful eyes more beautiful or to make pretty lips even more pretty, etc. But then to some people it'll become an insecurity fixer. Like when people wear just about every type of makeup usuable, then they're no good bare. I for one find it hard to even go to my piano lessons without at least mascara on and i only started wearing makeup a year ago. But I have some friends who have been wearing makeup longer than me and have gone months with out it. There's even this one girl in my grade who one of my best friends and I envy because it doesnt look like she wears ANY makeup, and she still looks awesome.

Answer 2

I think makeup is just a way tto cover up insecurities

Honestly I put on makeup because I think I look bad without

Thats great  that you realized beauty comes from within more power to you !

Im still working on it..

Answer 3

makeup makes me feel confident.  Without it, I would be ugly, or at least more ugly.  I am already terribly shy so it is kinda like a safety blanket that a lot of people hide under.  Makeup makes me feel somewhat pretty, which is kinda a big deal when you have real low self-esteem.  

Answer 4

some people wear it for fun and others may not like something about there face so they cover it up to make them feel better because they are afraid of what people will think of what they are trying to hide.  Also some people will wear it to stand out more like some people will wear blue eyeliner to make their blue eyes stand out more

Answer 5

Well it doesn't for me, as I only wear eye makeup and don't wear foundation or concealer on the norm.

I prefer to wear my eye makeup, but I don't feel bad about myself or insecure if I don't.
