For all the ladies out there...

I've worn make-up every day of my life for the most part since I was in 6th grade and I'm getting sick of it. Sick of the need to look a certain way. I'm very good at doing make-up, I've even done professional horror fx, I'd hate to lose my touch but the day in, day out shit is getting old. The application and then washing the crap out of my face before bed when all I want to do is pass out but if I don't my face breaks out. I hate being so insecure about the way I look without it. I have some dark sunken in areas under my eyes and scars from acne. It sucks.

The point being, sorry long rant, is does anyone else feel this way? Sick of society telling you that you're not good enough the way you are? Saying that you're not feminine enough? I just wanna rub my eyes whenever I feel like it!!!!

I wore makeup for about a summer last summer and I just gave up. I wasn't allowed to wear makeup until I moved out at 18 so I never really got into it I guess. Sometimes I put on a little makeup just for fun, I like to do some crazy colors just for the heck of it sometimes, but I refuse to wear makeup everyday.

Ahhha yeah oh man WHEN I WANNA RUB MY EYES I WANNA RUB MY EYES FOO! yeah i totally understand.

I only wear eyeliner and mascara for that reason. near night i rub my eyes and wake up the next day and they eyeliner stays on even after i wash my face so i just have to apply mascara but usually both stay on so no hassling.

you look good without it.i noticed this thing when i actually washed it ALL off and i was pretty shocked and what my eyes looked like naked. and boom. but hey i didnt think iw as pretty but then i looked like that and i was with my boyfriend and he didnt say anything you know must mean im good lookin with or without make up i just think i look so hardcore with my eeys like that cuz they are blue. but i understand what you mean thats why i hate the fashion industry and what they are doing to girls......you dont have to look a certain way.

I wear make-up for me to add to my features, and not for other people. I've been out loads barefaced (I have no eyebrows at all) and get a few looks but I really don't care. You don't have to wear it at all if you wish. Sometimes getting it off is a bitch and sometimes I fall asleep with it on, but hey, I feel good in it.

Admittedly, my fiancé likes it when I wear make-up but only because I rarely wear it now so it's an event where I feel good about myself. I also like it when he wears eyeliner. But he's just as happy to see me bleary eyed with no eyebrows on.

A good thing to help with dark or puffy undereyes is to rest cucumber slices, fruit teabags (damp and cool) or warm teaspoons (warmed by hands etc) on your eyes for a few minutes and job's a goodun. Natural and no make-up needed, plus plenty of water and sleep.

All I can say is just say FUCK IT. I have only worn makeup as a joke with me and my old buddies in high school and have never worn makeup for a whole day, nor have I cared about what people thought about me. I have heard the countless stories, oh you would look so much prettier with makeup and I disagree and I have heard oh I wish I could be like you and not wear makeup. I find I look better without it and if people can't accept me for who I am without a mask then fuck it. I definitely know that the people who are around me love me for who I am inside and not for who I am on the outside. All you need to do to get ride of the dark sunken areas around your eyes is just go without makeup for a couple months maybe even less. You will find later on that your beauty will shine without a mask covering it up. I mean make up can be fun to play with you know I certainly like to play with it occasionally seeing how I would look if I wore makeup like every other girl I see out in my town and I look absolutely TERRIBLE. I don't know if I just don't have the right face for it or if I am putting it on wrong but I just hate it. I have definitely been defined as a tomboy most of my whole life. I hope your insecurity stops and you blossom into the beautiful being you are( fuck I am starting to sound like a hippie now) but I do mean it. Everyone should have that feeling that they are beautiful inside and out every single day. Life is just so much more fun that way.
