Wow this is an old thread. But, anyway a month or so ago my ex and I were fighting and he says "you know thats why you spend so much money on fuckin makeup because you want to try desperately to cover your ugly face so you can go be a whore but it doesnt work. stop trying to be something youre not" It didn't bother me though but it was out of line. He knows that I buy makeup to practice more than I actually wear it (I'm a minimalist)
First rude comment about my love of makeup :(

I've had friends make comment too.
One girl asked me to bring over my makeup collection so I could show her how to apply makeup etc as she was always saying how much she loved the colours I wore.
So I dragged a whole heap over and I think she had had a long day at work as I started to apply and she was like, "Owww!! That really hurts!" and bizarre stuff like that.
Anyway she waited until some of the other girls left the room and said to me "So anyway I've been wanting to ask you, how much of your money do you spend on makeup? Do you ever think of the future?"
This completely pissed me off (especially as she had been complaining all night and I thought the makeup I applied on her face was pretty cool
)
I then showed the girls my absolute favourite item (the Stila LE Wicked Elphaba set) which took me months to get from the US (there was no way it would be released in Australia) and she grabbed it, I got distracted and saw her kind of shove it under some of my other stuff. When my best friend went to look at it she found that 2/3 of the lipstick had been broken off and smushed into the top tube
and my bestie was like "OMG What happened???" and I was almost crying and this other girl just goes "oh ... that might have been me".
She honestly didn't care a bit
I finished my night by getting a speeding ticket on the way home because I was so upset . . .I may have been a bit over the limit (67 in a 60 zone). So bad night all round

How horrible for you! I don't care if others don't understand my collection. It is purely something I have to satisfy myself, and I find it deeply satisfying to own MAC. Those haters need to find their own bliss. As for the money I spend, what better reward for hard work is there than something that makes you happy? That girl could have all the money in the world saved up, and she still would not know how to be happy with herself.

People who think makeup is only for the insecure really bother me.
I wear dramatic eye makeup for everyday use, and occasionally someone will challenge me about it. Once someone told me to my face that I wear too much makeup, and I just said "I wear exactly as much makeup as I want to." She actually didn't respond. I'm aware that I wear a lot of eye makeup, and I'm aware that it isn't conventional. I wear it because I like how it looks. Enough said.
Also, covering up? I'm proof that makeup isn't just for covering up ugliness. All I'm covering up is a couple of square inches around my eyes.

Some of my friends are critical of me buying dept. store makeup, but I actually don't own that much. I like to point out how often they eat out and other frivolous things they do. Makeup is my one luxury.
I find that people who harshly criticize others for wearing makeup and being insecure are often insecure themselves, just in another way.

I'd rethink the friendship if I was you.

I should tell my bf that. Even though he likes me wearing makeup, he thinks I spend too much on it. Ha! He spends way more on McDonald's.

Well, one of my mum's cousin told my mum "how come your daughter is now so NAUGHTY...putting up so much make up and all...and last time she's so decent...never put on make up" etc etc.
BAH! my mum told him that he has to understand that make up and fashion goes hand in hand. And that it is my passion to put on make up because i have interest in it. And that i love colors.
i did tell my mum before that i intend to take up a professional make up course in the near future and she didn't object to it. She knows that i'm forever buying magazines and tearing up the make up spreads to file them up.
Both my mum and i love make up even though we have different interests ( she's VERY into lipsticks, while i'm VERY into eye shadows).
Oh...and she loves my pearl blossom BP a lot as it gives her a subtle hint of pink without looking too obvious. (she doesn't like blush on her face...and i do notice that she likes my beauty powders)
I'm glad 2 have a mum who understands my passion for MU ...even though sometimes she grumbles i spend too much (yes i admit i spend too much, and i will try to cut it down)
Anyway back to topic.....
Hell man...i wear make up because i love 2 experiment with colors on my face and not because i am trying to seduce some guy.....Some people just DON'T get it.
i nearly entered into an argument with another girl on another beauty forum...she said something about she don't understand why girls have to put on make up to school...she feels it's unecessary and it's dumb to do so. WTF....WHAT gives her the right to call people who put on a blush and lipgloss to sch DUMB.
WHAT THE F***K. Sorry for sounding agitated...but such people just pisses me off. Either they are jealous or what...i don't know.
But if it's a girl making that comment, she'd better make sure she don't let me catch her wearing make up, or else i will say the same thing to her as well.

sometimes girls can be so ridiculous. don't let it bother you, she's probably only trying to cast attention away from herself because she's insecure!

I think my ex has said wor dfor word, the exact same thing. He's toxic. I avoid speaking to him most of the time but when we do, its all nice for frive seconds then he attacks everything about me, my face, my makeup, my hair, my body...everything he can think of. I brush it off, I know how insecure he is about his looks...
And I had a girl tell me I wore too much eyemakeup, and I told her I liked to because it was fun, its expression, and I do what I want. I's as simple as that. I even offered to try it on her sometime and she was all shy about it but still said she'd love me to.
The current love of my life doesnt complain about me wearing makeup how I want to, only if he's wearing a white shirt and I fall asleep on him and manage to get a smudge on him, haha, i guess i can understand that. But he pokes fun at me because I fill in my brows...
Dont listen to peoples catty comments. You have talent, you like wearing it, and thats all that matters
