I'm afraid to wear make-up!!!

Question

The problem is I'm 21, I'm no little girl, but then again, I've heard make- up takes your natural color away. Yesterday I went to macy's for a free make up session, but the lady there said that I don't need much b/c I have a natural tone/color, and so she only put light colors on. MY QUESTION..

Does make up ruin your natural skin?

like leaves marks, or makes your open pores look bigger?

Sorry for my spelling :)

Answer 1

no, not really.

Answer 2

it hasnt done it for me(:  

Answer 3

It does not! This is a myth :)

Make up does no harm whatsoever to your skin as long as you remember to wash it off before bed and you take care of your face besides that.

It's possible you may have an allergic reaction but many products at your department store should be allergy tested, like Clinique.

Since you probably don't even need that much make up, you'd probably just wear a light eyeshadow and some mascara, and concealer.

You're very lucky to have that natural tone :)

Once again, some make up MAY clog your pores causing break outs.

When you get home, remove all the make up to prevent that :)

Good luck.

No, make up enhances the skin.  It adds color and definition, highlights things we like about our face, and hides the things we don't.  The saleslady gave you a nice compliment when she said you don't need much makeup.  She means your natural skin tone is bright and pretty and doesn't need makeup to make it look better.

As long as you care for your skin, makeup won't hurt it (though some people might have allergies or bad reactions to certain ingredients...if that's the case, change brands until you find one that works for you).  Make sure that you wash your face before bed so that the makeup won't clog pores and cause breakouts.

--->Good luck!

Answer 7

Not from my experience it merely accentuates your beauty.

Answer 8

Well, if your naturally beautifully you won't have to put make-up on unless its a special ocassion...you could wear a little bit.

I dont know if it ruins your skin...but I think it is bad for your skin if you put a lot and dont wash ir off afterwards...

Answer 9

ok well if u put it on often and dont take it off when ur suppose to it will damage ur skin alittle just make sure u clean ur face u should b fine

Answer 10

no

Answer 11

yea it does.I'm scared to wear make-ups too.But sometimes you should only wear make-ups if you're going to a big party or something.

Answer 12

not necessarily

Answer 13

Some makeup can clog your pores, but only if you don't wash your face. As long as you was your face before you put on makeup and wash it off at night.  Then it will not matter.  It doesn't ruin your natural skin.  It doesn't leave marks either.  

Good Luck!!! :)  

Answer 14

no...your face stays the same.
