.. a week without makeup, could you do it?

[User67]

I don't think I could do it. I just feel more put together & better about myself when I have make-up on. Not to mention that when I have no make-up done I look like a little kid & people treat me like that too. I think when I am made up I just give it out this air of confidence that makes people take me more seriously, instead of thinking that I am just some young girl they can walk all over. But, of course like in your case if it was for a medical reason, that would be totally different & I wouldn't have a problem giving it up for a week.

I could definitely do it. I have gone without eye makeup before, but I hate how people always ask me if it's sick or tired. I really sort of look like death without makeup... I have a partially blind cousin, and even he asked me if I was feeling ok last time he saw me without makeup

I get asked in the winter if I'm sick a lot because I'm so pale. It's SO RUDE!

You don't ask a black person if they've been suntanning, people are so ignorant.

I think next time someone asks me if I'm sick, I'm going to tell them I have tuberculosis and then cough on them.

It's actaully sad because most of you are older than me and can go without it but I can't and I've just turned 14!?!

Don't worry about that, I don't think I could go without it when i was 14 neither. I'm 25 (26 in a month) and I noticed the older I get, the more confidence I have.
I'm surprised how many people here seem to be like me.. loving make-up but not always wearing any. I have been wearing make-up again on the regular but have gone weeks before without any.
if i had a strict no week without it, i'd do it easily but if i was going somewhere, i would cancel - i'd just focus on skin and lips.

Actually, quite a few of us do, (not me, intentianally anyway), and people DO ask us. A LOT. Doesn't make it any less rude, though.

 

[blindpassion]

jeeze people are so rude.
I cant believe people actually comment on how pale you are.
Im like, below NC15, Im a ghost, but I wouldn't like to hear that from people.
I live in Canada and I don't find that happens here very much,
but I suppose in other parts of the world?

At home, no prob... but in public HELL NO. I need my mascara/concealer/gloss!

Oh I hear you... I'm about your skintone, only in my case it's all year long since I never suntan, even in the middle of July!! So people ask. And make comments.

Since they complain - cuz they are really complaining! - and make negative comment about my skin color, I answer them it's racist. Strangely *it's not the same* since I'm white. So my friend (she's dark a la Alek Wek) usually ask them if they would dare telling her she's too black? So why telling me I'm too white?

You should see their reaction.

I go w/ out makeup whenever I don't have to work (Sephora) I think the longest I've gone without makeup was about 3 months but that's only because I was in Michigan and my skin does amazing on it's own up there...I usually have at least mascara on, but if I don't feel like mascara I'll at least have concealer on...I only go bare faced if I go to the gym or beach/pool

 

[Chic 2k6]

It's easy for me! heck yesterday was the first time i wore eye makeup since July!

 

[Ruby_Woo]

If I don't work, I don't wear makeup. I just put my hair up nice, and slap on moisturizer w/ spf and chapstick.

I LOVE makeup, I like putting it on and on others ofcourse, but I can go a month with out makeup and be fine.

I rather apply it on others than have it on lol.

 

[sweetonmakeups]

yep i can go without make up for like weeks. I am a wahm who is gonna see me.

 

[LMD84]

i can go a week without make up. to me i love make up because i like applying it and it's fun creating fun and different looks. my hubby says i'm an artist but my face is a canvas! but make up is not a must have - sure i wear make up about 4-5 days a week. because i enjoy it and spend alot of money on it. i do however go for a week without wearing it when on holiday (we go to florida alot and i can't stand the sweat and make up together!!) and if i'm off work for a week i won't wear make up. i'm off work this week in fact and apart from tommorow (when i go to the mac store) i won't be wearing any make up.

 

[MissAlly]

Easily,since I don't leave my house that much during the week.

 

[IDontKnowMomo]

I could definitely go without eye makeup for a week.
Going without foundation is another story, because my skin has been pretty terrible for the past year :[

Kimmy you know I did both academy's at Ben Clark, the 2 month CD and the 6 month sworn and what the girls did for makeup was curl the eyelashes and use a clear mascara, and then some tinted sunscreen.If I had something a lil extra to cover up I would use bare essentials powder fountation for a concealer. And if I was feeling extra daring and like tact staff wouldnt find out that day I would add a little brown eyeliner to the top lid...just a smidge. And of course a bit of lipgloss, nothing too pigmented because of course if tact staff found out they'd rip you a new one. Tampons tucked into your bloused BDU's ( you cant have ANYTHING in your pockets), I got tips for days if you need any I'll hook you up.
