Who here does not wear make-up?
 

It takes me a long time to get on eye liner, and unless I have eye liner, lipstick looks terrible on me, so I don't wear make-up. I am allergic to some eye shadows, so I can't wear it unless I am SURE that it is safe.

I completely agree with Arashi. I used to look like an awful raccoon of doom and gloom when I first started wearing eyeliner. Now it looks pretty good, and I can apply it on a rather bumpy bus ride with no problems.

I wear makeup every now and then, only on special occasions. Its really bad for your skin and I'd rather keep my good looks for longer.

I used to wear eyeliner and eyeshadow but having deep set eyes really messes up the way makeup look on you so I just quit with it.

Most days I go without (who they hell wants to wake up any earlier then they have to for class) but when I go out I like to play up my eyes and it only takes about 10 min to completely do my makeup (15 if I am going to a goth club and about 20 for a gay bar)

Most days I just wash my face slap on some moisturiser (if I'm a bit shiny Ill use a tiny dusting of powder foundation) then put on mascara.
If I am going out with my Boyfriend to a restaurant or shopping Ill put on a thin line of eye liner. Starting from the (bottom) outer corner. Sometimes I don't even go all the way along. Just the corners are enough.
Keep in mind the eye liner I use is a pretty thick pencil (Miss sporty 090 Black beauty) Probably the best eyeliner (it actually says eyeshadow pencil to shine and define, but meh its doing a good job at being an eyeliner) I've ever bought.
And that's it.
As long as my hair is clean and shiny I'm not too bothered about any more make up then that.

I try to practice, but I end up having raccoon eyes. XD

I can't imagine not wearing makeup... seriously... but then I find it enjoyable to experiment with such things and plan on studying makeup next year anyway. I think the longest time I've ever used for a properly applied makeup was six hours, but then that was really complicated theatre stuff too. Normally I can use anything between 20 minutes to an hour on makeup, depending on my mood, every morning.

I agree with this. I love to experiment with my eyeliner and shadows ( as seen in the pic thread by some of you, also see profile and avatar ) .

Darkprayer, if it's eyeliner you're having trouble with, rest your elbow on something. Start with a cheap pencil liner , a big bottle of hypoallergenic eyemakeup remover, and some cotton buds/Q tips to correct mistakes . Then experiment and practice.

When you get comfortable with pencil, try liquid, even if only to see if you like it. If not then get yourself a better quality pencil liner . With liquid I found the spongy nib type applicator, was easier than that long brush many have.

I'll keep practicing. Sadly, I am still at an age where my parents can control me like a remote. Whenever I go out wearing make-up, my Mom freaks and I have to wash it out. Otherwise she will give me the, "this is my house, and while you live in it, you have to go by my rules" lecture.

I don't wear makeup most of the time...

Hmmm... posts like this make me extremely grateful of my awesome mother, who is amazingly accepting of the way I do my makeup, my clothing choices, and such. She's even brought me home interesting eye shadow colors that she saw in the store and thought that I would like.

Well, then all that I can say is that you should practice whenever you can, even if you then have to wash it off. This way, when the time comes when you are of age to do what you like with your own face, you'll know how to put makeup on without being plagued by the whole raccoon look.

I am truly The Suck at putting on makeup. At most, I can do eyeliner, some shadow (if I push my luck I can get TWO shades on! whoot!) mascara and lipstick (a bronzy brown, topped with black--makes some coolness).

And that is about it.

I am pathetic....

I've gone without for about a week now, as I need to be in character for this movie we're making in my French class, and he isn't a goth. I almost always wear eyeliner at least, however, because I think it's necessary to compliment my hair... and if I don't do either, then I'm utterly bored throughout the day.

You have an awesome mother. As long as my make-up looks "normal" and "realistic" my mother doesn't care. I think she just doesn't want me to be thought of as a freak, so she monitors the way I dress and act.

It sounds like she really loves you. Maybe a bit too much DarkPrayer. Try to ask her to give you some space. You sound very protected.

I gave up on makeup.. I feel so much more attractive without gunk on my face.

Ahhh, sea of tie-dye...

Yeah.. I went on a spree this weekend. Eight shirts and a pair of underwear later.. XD

I hardly wear make up aside from the odd photo shoot or halloween fun.

Good for you. I wish all girls felt that way.

I've had some fairly serious self-esteem issues.. I hid behind my clothes, and hid behind my makeup.

I am fucking sick of hiding.

I OCCASIONALLY wear lipstick. Fuck makeup, it's boring.
