Ive seriously "cut-back" on wearing so much makeup. Now, dermotologists are telling 15 year olds to start using "anti-aging" wrinkle creams.

I've given up on eyeliner.
Its a pain to put on and I learned how to do it thru trial & error. Even after all the eyeball agony it didn't seem to improve the opposite sex's response to me
lol!!

I only wear makeup on very rare occasions, don't have the time to fuss with it, and i figure if people don't like me without it, they aren't worth getting to know.

I get up so bloody early in the morning that I only bother getting up early enough to do my make up on special occasions or when I wake up early, which means NEVER.
When I do wear makeup it's eye shadow and liner then mascara. Though I've had people of both sexs staring after me on those occasions. One guy actually called me a skank.
I was wearing a knee length, pleated skirt, a top that left much to the imagination, fishnets, knee sock and heeled boots. I was not skanky in the least! So I never understood the comment but who cares.

Nope. Never. I wear make-up everyday or I look really tired and just plain horrible. Me never wearing make-up, it's never going to happen.

I never wear it. I'll only put on lipstick when I'm feeling sexy.

I have very weird lips. Lipstick=not good.
I do wear eyeliner, this orange shadow, and mascara. Sometimes I use concealer to even out my skin tone, but not usually.

I wear makeup when I'm going out and doing something important, but mostly I'm either at work (dress code) or school (father imposed dress code that I am happy to oblige) I still need to procure some mascara though >_>

Odd question but, can I just use any pencil sharpener for my eye liner pencil or do you get special ones for that?

Any one that fits. Just a bog standard one is fine.

I usually never wear makeup, I'm lazy in the mornings and would rather sleep that extra ten minutes. If I'm up and have nothing I need to get done then I'll wear some face powder, or some eyeliner but thats it for every day.

I don't even bother with eyeliner anymore. I just slap on some lipstick and I'm ready to go.

I've had terrible luck with regular pencil sharpeners. You must get better sharpeners than I have. Mine always breaks my eyeliner :S. The special ones work fine, though.

I'll put on some eyeliner before going to a show or a club, but that's about all.

I can't imagine being a woman and feeling compelled to wear make up constantly, I can barely keep my face adequately shaven as it is.

I wear makeup when my dermatitis on my face is active to cover it up, but usually I only wear eyeliner on my days off.

I put on makeup when I get bored or the rare occasion when I actually go out for the night.
otherwise it's just moisturizer and chapstick. I am pretty enough with out stuff allover my face.

I'm sure you aren't as ugly as you think.

Pft! I'm too cool for makeup.

Honestly though, I'm not really into makeup on myself. I'll wear it rarely. Maybe about 5 times a year, if that. I'm just too lazy. (even though it only takes me 5 minutes to put it all on.)

This year, I've only worn makeup once so far. Maybe I'll wear some this summer depending on where I go, but we'll see. I'm far too lazy to even break out the concealer and foundation.

I'm trying. After my first serious attempt with cream eyeliner, I swore I'd never tease a teen girl again: they have way too hard a time as it is.

Apparently you can get this stuff in pencil, too? That sounds a bit easier.

I didn't look like a raccoon. I looked like a movie egyptian with glasses. And I don't use lipstick. Not sure that I want to try that...I'm a guy, after all, and if I can't even get eyeliner right...

I don't wear makeup.

My face looks good without it...

I don't see a need for improvement. It's clear, even-toned, eyes are naturally dark, eyebrows still have color...

It just seems like a waste of time and money to me. I've tried makeup before, and it makes me look worse that I already look.

Most people look better w/o makeup, IMNSHO.

Eyeliner and shadow is the most I'd ever use...but even that's only used on holidays for me.

I can never be bothered to do my make-up in the mornings. I probably should but sleep = so much better. I fail at doing make-up anyway, I should probably learn if I want to get a job anytime this century.
