Is Wearing Make Up Good or Bad?

[ozkai]

I have noticed that quite a few males on this forum wear make up, and obviously female's to.

Is make up a good thing, or does it portray a false sense of beauty?

Hmmm...good question. But I think it depends on how much make up is worn, and what kind of make up. I think some make up can really compliment people's face, and look really good on them. While others will use way too much makeup, or simply obnoxious make up, and it just looks...ew.

makeup is used to enhance beauty, thats what i think as a girl. you use makeup thats best for your eyes. or you work around them to make it look better. =) Don't just cake it on, blend blend blend.

If you clean off all your makeup before bed, and don't leave makeup on your pillow you're fine. You leave it on, it gets into your pores- you get spots.

I don't think it portrays a false sense of beauty if you're doing it right. =), but then again, makeup is another form of creativeness, its not a false sense of beauty if you're not lying to anyone because most women wear makeup for the fun of it =)

I'd have to agree to that, most girls who wear make up usually use too much. Though a little eye shadow here and there is nice. Most girls have great eyes as it is, so they don't really need it.

I'd suggest girls to stick to putting eyeshadow on their eyelids.. : P

But I agree. I do like a bit of mascara/eyeliner or something.. just to enhance the color and definition of the eyes.

But this also means no foundation, no tanning lotion, no powder, no lipgloss, no lipstick, no black tears down your cheeks. If you dunno HOW to use it - just don't use it. ^^v

Of course, what did you think I meant? Eye shadow/liner is used to enhance the appearance of the eye. But most girls have amazing eyes as it is, so they don't need the extra attraction.

I was referring you to saying ''a little eyeshadow here and there''. -_-'' Thanks for killing my joke, man.

But I agree with you whole heartedly. Enhancing is good - covering up is bad.

thats just generalising girls, however nice you're being,
Not all girls have amazing eyes. =) lol.

Girls put makeup on for fun. =) they're going to have mistakes every once in a while. =) thats how you learn to put it on better. =)

I can't stand that black thick lipstick!

I'm with you and Kanji, a small touch of black around the hazier eyes works a treat, although girls like xYinniex who has the most gorgeous eyes really does not need anything as they are so naturally beautiful.

Eye makeup is the only kind of makeup I usually wear. If I don't have any makeup around my eyes, I look tired and...well...bland.

And as Yinnie said, its fun. :'D
