Hmm should I be offended or not??? makeup related..?

Question

I am naturally pretty and people always comment positively and I have clear nice skin, so that is why I don't wear much makep.. but I do wear eyeliner and mascara and neutral coloured eyeshadow and a bit of blush.. but I put makeup on to enhance my features.. not like warpaint..

I am surprised that a few guys I know have commented that they notice I don't wear makeup at all!!! unlike other girls that wear alot..

I am sorta offended that they think I am not wearing any at all!!!?? like I don't make an effort at all or something.. but then again.. the girls that I work with don't wear that much too, I probably wear more!

Should I be offended?

Answer 1

I don't think you should be offended.  A lot of guys would mean that as a compliment - some guys think that girls who wear a lot of make-up are high maintenance and fake-looking.  If you can put make-up on without looking like you have any on, that's a good thing!

Answer 2

I wouldn't be.  You are going for a more natural look.  You are obviously succeeding if they can't detect it.  

Answer 3

Actually that's more of a comment 'cause bare skinned is always better than clown faced! And you also said so yourself that you put make up to enhance your features, and that's exactly what happened. I'd be happy if I were you. :) Plus, people who over do their make up age A LOT faster and their skin dries up easily and is prone to having oily faces and acne break outs! :)

Answer 4

No ... I'm sure if they saw some of the girls that wear a ton of makeup not wearing it they would scream in despair for them to put it back on LOL

Answer 5

you shouldn't be offended .

Answer 6

not really. guys are likethat. the never notivce anything even if you were to shave your head off it would take them like a month to figure it out. lol

Answer 7

I would kissssssssss for that compliment the whoel point of wearing makeup is to look like you arent wearing it at all, and I know a ton of girls including myself who would love to hear that at least once.

Answer 8

No, I think you should feel blessed!  You have so skillfully put on makeup that they can't even notice.  Congratulations!

Answer 9

no you shouldnt be offended!
