Nah, she's prolly one of those girls who never learned how to apply MU, and is afraid of doing it, because when she tried, it ended up looking horrible. So she puts you down to validate that she doesn't need it, because she would feel insecure if she did.

I think it's kind of unfair for people to judge us for wearing makeup or having a "more than average" collection. IMO it should be treated with just as much respect as an interest or a hobby. Some people collect/love baseball cards, vintage automobiles, royal daulton figurines, shoes, whatever. They get fancy display cases, etc to show it off. I don't see the difference when it comes to makeup. So treat our interest with respect and don't dismiss it as something that is illegitimate or absurd. That's what I'd tell people if they start getting all negative on me about it.

thats why i classify my make-up as hobby. im far from being a professional but i like to experiment with it and do looks i like. i had a friend of my boy telling me that what i was wearing would be way to colourful but i dont care bout that. i love colours, and usually i reply that "im not standing in front of the mirror for half an hour and theres nothing to be seen afterwards"
my boy is pretty cool bout this. whenever i ask him if it looks good he judges it pretty good (if there are minor differences between the eye-makeup for exampel) and tells me what effects it creates in his opinion, i love him for that. but then i always have to listen to his stories about his new watercooling which he built for his computer and whatever else he just fixed with his mechanic tools. respect for the hobby of the other

She sounds boring, judgemental and severly tactless! People shouldn't think other people's faces are there fucking business.
People always say to me that I look better without makeup, or it's weird because I'm a boy. I've been beaten up, spat on and shouted at by random strangers, but I don't care because I look pretty!

This thread is old, but if someone said that I would have smacked them. Not only is that pretty wrong and simple-minded, but what was her business of injecting herself into the situation anyway? Obviously she needs to learn to keep things to herself. Like everybody said, makeup is best when it enhances someone's best features, and even better if the person applying it is enjoying and expressing themselves.

That sucks! I love makeup and skincare and haircare because they are all ways you can love yourself, take care of yourself and feel beautiful without having to lose weight or have bigger boobs or change the way you came. They are just ways to enhance what you have and make you have better self esteem and I can't see ANYTHING wrong with that!

k, I think that's so childish and dumb. it is funny how other people think of makeup that way. it is like they think of themselves naturally gifted and beautiful and perfect. that is what she is trying to say.

Yikes to the stories posted here! People haven't said anything outright to me but I know it's happening behind my back. I can "feel" their words - tho I'm sure it's not as bad as hearing them. Those people sure are ignorant and insecure!
My mom hasn't been rude but she's always asking why I'm so concerned with looking pretty because I'm pretty enough (and other motherly words
), and it's so hard to convince her that, while I do like to look pretty, it's a way to express myself which I can incorporate in my daily schedule. Musical interests are getting harder to fit into my schedule (and more expensive to boot) and fashion changes too fast for me to adapt.

I assuming youth group means church group. I attend church on a weekly basis and I know those comments. I used to think that way as the misc. girl. Many women in my church did not wear make-up nor nail polish. Some of them did not have nice hairdos. Wearing make-up was akin to being a sex worker. Times have changed, somewhat.
Obviously, misc. girl is stuck in the mindset and she also jealous that she does not have your makeup acumen. And realize that she is really asking herself that question because she has low self-esteem!

I was about to do my friend Sephanie's makeup when this girl comes up and told me that she didnt think Stephanie needed makeup because she is beautiful enough on her own and that people only wear makeup to cover up their ugliness. Then she raises her voice and said, "What are YOU trying to cover up on your self Hannah?"

When I started doing the youtube videos that I do, I would post pics of the "finished project" to my myspace and posted a bulleting that I had made a video. One of my ex-bfs wrote me saying that he didn't think I needed makup, that I was beautiful with or w/o it, blah blah, then continued to assume that because I wear, I must have low self-esteem and that I thought I "needed" it. It irritated me that he would just assume my thoughts and my logic on wearing makeup. I wear makeup because I like it. It's like when I used to play "dress-up" when I was little or when I got the dolls that I could "do the makeup on" with some warm and cold water. I did it cause it was fun. The only difference now, is that I get to do it on myself, and I still do it for fun, and to enhance certain features. I don't do it cause I have something to hide or think that I'm ugly. My mom's even confronted me about wearing makeup, telling me that I wear "too much" of it and I don't need to put those dark circles around my eyes. Last time I checked, applying a little eyeliner wasn't considered "dark circles".
This girl, like everyone else, is entitled to have her own opinion. And she's entitled to share it. But she didn't need to be as rude as she was. And for her to be in a youth group and be acting like that...seems rather hypocritical to me. Frankly, girls like her are a waste of time to get upset over, and an even more waste of time to talk or listen to. The fact that you had a friend who wanted you to do her makeup, shows in itself your talent with cosmetics.

When I was homeschooled I felt the glare of many stares... My particular homeschool group was 99% caucasian, Protestant, no-makeup/hair dye/nail polish/etc, long hair, long skirts type of group. I stood out as a Catholic, vegetarian, makeup/plum highlights/dark nailpolish, short hair, hispanic, BAGGY black pants, jelly bracelets girl.
There was never an actual word mentioned to me, but I could see their faces disapproved. It's kind of weird because I was super friendly, and most of them were cold... So I don't think I was scary.
Not everyone stared, but at least half did.
I was just different, back in my 'rainbow goth' years.

I first started wearing makeup when i was 14 because all the other girls started to at school so obviously i was following the trend. I got my first foundation - maybelline it was a tad too light for my skin but looked ok once i put some blush on. I didnt wear eyeliner or eyeshadow just foundation, mascara, blush and a lipgloss or lip balm to look natural. When i wasnt at school id practice, practice and PRACTICE on doing smokey eyes, learning how to apply liquid liner and other stuff like that and all that practicing has paid off because now im great at it. I usually wore liquid liner when going out with friends and stuff... i got the attention from boys and my friends didnt even get looked at twice. They got jealous. It wasnt because i looked like a 'slut' or anything i just knew how to emphesise my best feature [eyes] and look better than my friends. So yeh they got jealous, started being 2 faced and the name for me at school at that point was 'makeup monster' hmm yeh i actually laughed because i knew how jealous they were. After that every other girl started wearing foundation [imagine bright orange and mask effect with noticable lines and unblended], too much eyeliner and bright blusher. and they said i was the makeup monster? and now im 17 ive learnt WAY more stuff - i dont know any other 17 year old where i live who can blend eyeshadows and contour the face etc. like i can.
on myspace i have pictures of my makeup work ive done [not too many but quite a good range] and i get comments from girls who live where i live and they're all like 'wow i wish i could do that!" sometimes i feel like going upto all the girls who went to school with me and be like "HA TRY AND DO THIS BITCH!!" its so funny because they all use like 1 eyeshadow and wear too much eyeliner and think they look amazing.
Last week i had a college interview and i had to do an assigment for it saying why i wanna do the course [beauty therapy] and do some before and after photos of makeup and nails etc. I did lots of makeup ones and the teacher was absolutly impressed she was soo impressed she kept it with her and said shes gunna show her boss because its the best assignment shes seen in years. i was so happy.
so all u gotta do is ignore those jealous hoes. I love makeup its my art and hobby, its my life its just amazing! my bf knows how much i love it, he buys me most of it, when i wear makeup he usually tells me i look gorgeous but i look better without it [as most bfs do!] but when i do something kool like do rainbows or smokey eyes he tells me what he likes about them and stuff and what would look good and what i could do next time etc.
People do get jealous - girls do bitch - you will always be in a world full of drama and 2 faced people. Just get on with what u enjoy and dont let anybody tell u what to do.
oh yeh last year some girl came upto me "u wear too much makeup" lmfao and this is the girl who got pregnant at 13/14 year old with some ugly little boy from my form class - well shes ugly too she gets called gummy bear because she has huge gums and tiny teeth [she looks EXACTLY like kelly osbourne] but uglier... she has no fashion sence, i dont think she wears makeup [probs dont know how to apply it or maybe shes so dam ugly it makes her uglier!] and yeh omg i feel sorry for her poor daughter.
These are the types of people i laugh at.. ive never had some who is amazing at makeup tell me something bad about my makeup.. ive never walked to a makeup counter and had MA's tell me how to do stuff because i dont need them to.
god such an essay! but yeh people like this PISS ME RIGHT OFF!!!

Makeup is an accessory. Are people trying to cover up their ears with earrings? No. People who make comments to others are often insecure about their makeup applications techniques, or are closed minded because they were raised by a family that doesn't like makeup, and they never questioned. Not to clump all makeup haters into that, but that's just the majority that I see.
People who are trying to cover up "ugliness" don't know what they're doing. You can cover up a "flaw" (like a zit, or a scar) but ugliness is in the person's personality, and there is nothing in the world that can cover that up.
