I wear make-up for me, because I like the way I look when I wear it. It's not done to make me look like somebody else. My flashy colours are a part of my personality. I have no problem walking out of the house without any make-up on... if I was conforming to society's beliefs, then I wouldn't feel comfortable enough to do this.

To say that wearing make-up is pointless or just caused by media pressure is rather ignorant in my opinion. Sure there is some media pressure, but most people wear make-up to appear a certain way that makes them happy. You wouldn't roll out of bed and go to work with messy hair and pj's... because you care about your appearance.
