To wear makeup or to not wear makeup?

Question

I've never really been into makeup. I might look more pulled together with makeup though at work. Then again, someone told me as long as your hair is styled & combed and you have nice accessories that I should be fine. This is true also. Do you think I should not wear makeup since I'm not really into it?

Answer 1

Well if you're not really into it, just stay natural, but if you're curious about it just wear neutral eyeshadows, lipgloss or lipbalm that just give your lips a shine, and a little mascara.  

Answer 2

i wear make up because my skin is terrible, if you have great skin why bother wearing any makeup?

Answer 3

..if you're not comfy about then no..but u cud try tinted moisturizer and lipgloss...

Answer 4

I think simple makeup like some blush and mascara would be good because you really wouldn't be getting in to makeup, but you would look more pulled together and enhance your looks.  

Answer 5

Always, with makeup and everything else, do what you are comfortable doing. Huge life lesson.

Answer 10

If you aren't comfortable with it no, but here are som makeup tips:

Things You’ll Need:

    * Foundation

    * Mascara

    * Eye Shadow Brushes

    * Blush Brush

    * Face Powder

    * Blush

    * Waterproof Mascaras

    * Lipstick

    * Lip Gloss

    * Eye Shadow

Step1

Apply a concealer that is one shade lighter than your foundation. Dot it on over any blemishes or under-eye circles and blend with your fingertips or a makeup sponge. If your concealer tends to cake, apply eye cream first.

Step2

Choose foundation that matches your skin tone exactly. Apply it in dots over the central part of your face, then blend it out with a makeup sponge or your fingertips until it covers your entire face (see Related eHows).

Step3

Use a loose or pressed powder to keep foundation and concealer on longer. Use pressed powder to touch up when you're away from home.

Step4

Do your eyebrows next. Use powdered eyebrow shadow on brows instead of pencil, which can often look unnatural. Apply it with a hard, slanted brush.

Step5

Choose three colors of eye shadow: light, medium and dark. Use the dark only to line your upper eyelid, in a fairly thin line along the upper lashes. Use the medium shade for the crease and the lightest shade for the area under the eyebrow. There are many variations on eye shadow application techniques (see Related eHows).

Step6

Apply eyeliner. Use a cake eyeliner with a damp, thin liner brush, or an eyeliner pencil, and line the lower lid below the lashes. Line only the outer two-thirds of the lower lid, or all the way across if you're trying to achieve a darker look. Line all the way across the upper lid (just above the lash line and as close to the lashes as possible), or start the line where your lashes begin.

Step7

Apply mascara to upper and lower lashes, in two thin coats to avoid clumpiness. Choose brown mascara if your coloring is fair; black or brown-black works well for darker coloring. Or try a colored mascara such as navy or plum for fun, but don't go too bright if you want to be taken seriously.

Step8

Smile to find the apples of your cheeks, and apply blush to the apples or below, whichever you prefer. If you have to blend in blush, it's too bright.

Step9

Choose a lipstick color that's suited to your skin tone and that's perfect for your day look. You can mix colors and textures to suit your moods and your outfits (see Related eHows).

Step10

Line lips after applying lipstick, not before. That way you won't end up with a dark circle of lip liner after your lipstick has worn off. Avoid combining very dark lip liner and pale lipstick.

Tips & Warnings

    * Follow the steps in the order given, and remember to clean and moisturize your face before applying makeup.

    * Choose brighter or darker tones for a stronger look.

    * Clean makeup brushes by gently washing them in warm water and mild gel shampoo. Air-dry them overnight.

    * Don't skimp on makeup tools. High-quality tools make application easier and faster.

    * If you decide to curl your eyelashes, do this just before applying mascara, never after. Insert your eyelashes into the curler, squeeze just once, and hold for a few seconds.

  

* Bacteria can grow in older cosmetics, which can lead to infections. Be on the safe side: Toss anything that's seems old, especially mascara, and avoid sharing products with others.

Answer 11

You should do whatever you feel comfortale doing. Dont wear make-up to impress other people or they think you should. If your not really into it, but kind of want to wear make-up, just go with basic things. A little mascara and lipstick. It goes a long way. Good luck!
