Question

What makes a girl need to put makeup on?

Answer 1

girls wear makeup because their insecure of their natural appearances. they can also do so if they want to hide some blemishes on their skin. if the girl is part of a horror movie cast, makeup helps too.

Answer 2

Well for me it’s just to follow the trend as its fashion and gives more definition to a part of me, also it is part of creativity and involves lots of experimentation.

I always feel more secure and confident with my self as well as I look. Without it I feel I look rough and ugly. I like to take pride in my appearance as it does get you somewhere and as a teenager it feels like the most important thing in the world.

I don't put too much on though as too much makes me look fake. And too little makes me look plain and boring. I like to look nice as it makes me feel perfect. I only use eyeliner, mascara and lip-gloss.

It’s the same with clothes and hairstyles. No one wants to look odd, old, rough, fake and stupid.

Answer 3

sometimes it can be because she has pimples and wants to hide them, or to look better, or if someone looks terrible without it,  and makeup is just feminine so most girls wear some.  

Answer 4

Because it makes you look healthy and feel better. It hides imperfections and can look s**y

Answer 7

because your face looks really bad if you dont, nealry every girl would put makeup on, you probably wouldnt notice it but if everybody had to take it off for a day, then you would no why lol

Answer 8

I've wondered the same thing.  I'm....uh....well past my 30s, and have owned one tube of lipstick in my whole life.  Always struck me as silly to paint myself up to try to please a man.  They can take me the way I am or take a hike.  Hasn't hurt my popularity.  

Answer 9

society

also if you look at societies from the past, make-up was used for other things, like to protect their eyes from bugs and stuff. some makeup protects your skin from things like radiation which can lead to skin cancer. makeup is not all about beauty, but taking care of yourself

i would also like to mention that girls are not the only ones to wear makeup in history, for example the ancient egyption men

Answer 10

Because face's are naturally quite boring. No offence anyone. Makeup gives you some identity and something that makes you stand out.

Answer 12

The want to enhance their beauty makes a girl need to put makeup on.

Answer 13

To look pretty and sophisticated.

Answer 14

Hmmm, I've been through too much makeup days and no makeup days -now I usually wear nothing or just mascara. For me - it shows people I take pride in my appearance, it does make my eyes look bigger and I feel more confident. I do it on days I don't feel so great/feel ill/feel like ****.

I don't get girls who spend an hour doing it, or use anything more then mascara/eyeliner and gloss (thats the extent of a really big night out for me) and I don't get those girls back in high school that spent every break in the loos at the mirrors. But yeah, one dash of it and I feel a little better so it doesn't hurt.

I like to emphasis my natural features not make a whole new face outta clay. ;) But then I am confident that I'm average good looking, and that the only person I need to impress has already fallen in the trap of love. muhahahaha

Answer 15

well i would rather not wear make up,  i wear i bit of foundation cause my skins quite redish and a little mascara cause i  am really white with big blue eyes so i need to give my eyes definition otherwise it just looks like 2 blue dots. a little bit of make up can make someone look and feel a whole lot better so thats why i wear it

Answer 21

i put foundation on becuase it covers up my bad skin .

and eyemake-up , eyeliner and mascara n stuff it looks nice . makes me look older and all my friends do it .

Answer 22

To look exotic, or fresh, or sultry, business or play... Same reason people get hair cuts or wear trendy clothes.

Answer 23

Enough. The answer is relative to instinct, society and psychology.

Instinct: The female instinct to find a mate. To appear youth-like and nubile, so as to a prospective partner's unconcious mind 'hey, I'm young and fertile and so will give you lots of babies!'.

Society: One of the previous comments was nearly there. Society portrays ever-unattainable examples of 'beauty' and women are exposed to this day in, day out. Not helped by the amount of lifestyle magazines aimed at female readers! Girls just wanna keep up! (Back to instinct again).

Psych: Yes. Some girls may want to boost low self esteem, and in fact hide behind makeup from the world a little by 'putting their face on'!

Hope was of help. I really need a hobby.

NB Make up is rarely nessassary, in my view. (Especially for boys).

Answer 24

          Well beauty is the one of the treasures of the life of a lady so in my view a girl put makeup to be more beautiful. And so do i too but i use makeup to protect my skin also.  

Answer 25

It is just fashion like everything else. You only need to open a magazine or switch on the TV to see the ads. The firms selling make up make millions. Wish I had a few shares in one.

Answer 26

If you think back through history, in all cultures, both men and women have adorned themselves with jewellery, make up, wigs, lace, war paint, and tattoo's. It's a natural tendency of the human race to bring attention to themselves, or simply to make an impression on others, even if only to frighten the enemy by their ferocious appearance.

Even birds use their brightly coloured plumage to attract females  and to intimidate the competition when mating.

So, it's nothing unusual!  

Answer 27

Answer 29

Answer 30
