Re: Makeup is NOT pointless. So stop saying it is!!!

I am adding a point: I can see how she thinks makeup is pointless, and unlike her I can see how it can be used to achieve a more "polished" look. But all in all, I think most girls who don't use makeup as a form of self expression or art would say that wearing it makes them feel more presentable to the world. It does not necessarily make them look BETTER, but more clean-cut or professional. That is how I feel about it anyway. And yes, mascara and lipstick CAN be used to make women look more polished.
Just out of curiosity, what are some things people do to enhance their looks? And why?
Uh, I feel like not wearing makeup makes me feel more presentable to the world. When I'm wearing makeup that's just one more thing for me to worry about, and I am the most presentable when I am not worried about the small things in life. Sure it's fun, but for me it's playtime and nothing more.
I would say that makeup does not make everyone look more polished unless they know what they should be going for (you know who I'm talking about, the people who go for 3 shades lighter or 3 shades darker).
I think the real thing that makes people look more polished and more presentable is confidence.
