I could not possibly agree more!
For a dressier look, there are plenty of times when I wear three different eyeshadows( all in neutral shades), a bit of purple, bright pink, or red blush, and purple-toned (plum, violet, or berry), bright pink, or red lips (lipcolor coordinates with blush).
I use good brushes and a light hand, and it really works.

AND THEN AS I PROCEEDED TO APPLY MY MAKEUP SHE WAS STARING AT ME,WHICH MADE ME SO UNCOMFORTABLE I DIDN'T APPLY MY FULL BLOWN PARTY MAKEUP.
WELL I'M NOT EVEN MAD AT HER SHE LIVES IN HAITI AND DOESN'T HAVE ACCESS TO COSMETICS AS WE DO SO I'D BE MADD TO IF I WAS HER AND I HAD TO WEAR JUST POWDER AND THE SAME LIPSTCIK EVERDAY!!!!
HERE'S A PIC FROM THAT DAY...

Wow, haha, my friend stares at me when I put on my makeup too, like she looks pissed that I'm putting it on! Funny thing is, she puts on just as much as I do.
I think that you (SassyMochaJess) look so cute in that outfit, and your makeup looks great, you have style!
And glam8babe, I am always impressed by your skills and I was struck by how pretty you were when I first saw ur pic so please don't pay mind to the hatas!

Yes. My BBF wears eyeliner caked on and has goops of it in her eyes 24/7. And most of the time just puts her makeup on over her old makeup. But she tells me I wear too much and look like a hooker. And when I'm around her I wear a colour in the crease with a highlight all over, mascara a little bit of liner, brows, foundation 1 cheek colour(I don't highlight or contour) and a light lipgloss.
I just don't understand how I look bad and where too much makeup

Lol wow.
Ok so this is not related to make-up but my granny noticed something different about me the other day but couldnt quite tell what...I had my hair bleached from black to blonde.
When I told she simply said 'oh why? Do you want to be a WAG or something?' LOL yeah those were my exact thoughts when making the decision to fry my hair.

the other day my grandma was like "oh i like your makeup today, it's so light"... and i was like "uh, is it" (((in my head i was like oh shit- maybe i should put more on if gma likes it haha)).. she was like "yeah, i like it better than when you do it all dark"... she also makes a comment every time i have passionate on ( she'll go oh i don't like that color, so i'm always like "well alright, make sure you never wear it.)... and the other day i had this STUPID customer, she was pissing me off in every possible way.. then at the end of the transaction she goes "your eye makeup is heavy"... i just stared at her... "i like it though i think." ... like fuck off lady i don't care what you like. i don't tell you whether or not i like your shitty excuse for makeup application.
i get a lot of comments like that, backhanded compliments. i guess because i work at BE so a lot of women don't want dramatic makeup... like i'll go to do someones eyes and theyll go "i want it smokey, but not as dramatic as yours". i dk if it's a compliment or an insult sometimes.
makeups one of the few things i can honestly say i'm reaaally good at so i'm not going to waste my time throwing on naked lunch and clear lipgloss, i'm gonna have fun!

i've gotten it all- "why do you wear so much makeup?", "omg, how long does that take you every morning?"
i don't even wear that much cause i actually only do my eyes. i don't wear foundation, blush, or lipstick or anything else...maybe a little lipgloss here and there but usually just some chapstick.
anyways, i hate when people imply the whole "what are you hiding under there?" thing. or like they make you feel fake because of your makeup.

oh my goodness yes!
i've gotten comments from guy friends asking why i wear makeup and why i have that powdery stuff on my face hahaha. i told them that it makes me feel better about myself. then one of them said how he prefers more natural girls and i said well that's just too bad that i'm not your girlfriend!
i swear i don't wear much makeup, i really try to make it look like i'm not wearing much. the thing is i've got some scars and redness and i just would feel really self conscious if i didn't put foundation on to cover it up. if i had better skin OF COURSE i would love to wear less makeup it's a drag having to pile on foundation and concealer. but what can i do.
i have to admit though i used to be bad with makeup. i really didn't know much. even my best friend told me that long time ago my makeup would look cakey. but now that i've been watching so many videos on youtube, i've learned tremendously. and she also told me that now it's way way better.
maybe if people tell you that you wear too much, don't take it too personally and automatically think that they're jealous. i've got a girl at work who's 17 and she really doesn't know how to put it on and i told her! but she didn't get offended! she took it as an advice, not an attack.

No one has said I wore too much makeup but sometimes I get comments at work like, why are you all dolled up, got a hot date? Which isn't bad.
However I have friends who wear NO makeup and one time I did my friend's makeup for her because she was hosting a house party and had not a stitch of makeup on when I got there. Granted it wasn't my best work I had limited supplies because she literally has little to crappy makeup available. Anyway, this other lady (who frankly doesn't look so great herself) commented about how my friend looked like a hooker. I was pretty upset because firstly she was far from looking like a hooker, I am pretty subdued with my own makeup to begin with so I would never go over-board especially if the person didn't wear much to begin with, secondly, who asked her opinion anyway! It was so rude of her to comment in front of people at the party. I couldn't give a eff about what she thinks but it was so unnecessary to say that about my friend. She didn't offer to "fix it" so obviously she didn't think she could do better. It peeved me off because she was trying to get a rise/attention/jealous whatever since no one else at the party went "geez,what happened to your face?! You look like a whore!"

I get it all the time, especially when I was in high school still because I tend to wear either more colorful or smokey eyed looks to school. Some may say its overkill just for school but I didn't feel comfortable without it on on a daily basis.
I was trying to do a cat eye winged liner look with liquid liner one time and all of the sudden the guy (he was the class clown) in front of me starts going off for no reason on a serious note about how i always wear makeup and how makeup doesn't matter. It was weird cause he was super serious about it and it came out of nowhere really. I didnt even say anything to him at all that whole morning before he went on about my makeup.
Another time when I was working (I use to work at my schools cafeteria and help out the lunch ladies for 2 hours a day) and theres a long lunch line going on. I just here and this happened right in front of me practically some guy ask another one if he'd date me. And the guy who got asked the question said "no, too much makeup." WTF? I barely even knew both of the guys and obviously didnt like them or anything. It was just weird they said that in front of me practically.

There's a few snotty comments in this thread about people who don't wear makeup. I think that's really unnecessary. You can take pride in your appearance and look polished and put together without wearing makeup. It's just as tacky to make a nasty comment about someone not wearing makeup as it is about someone who is wearing makeup.

i think it has more to do with colors than the amount.. i wear a lot of products, period. but if the colors are light and more natural, nobody seems to notice how much i am actually wearing.. once i get into dark or bright colors, people say i am wearing too much. but i wear the same amount all the time.

I have mixed feelings on this. I feel like "too much makeup" has a direct correlation on 1) "appropriateness" and 2) application. I think a girl has too much makeup on if she's wearing really bright colors at church, for example, even though I myself am a big makeup fan. I also think that when someone applies make-up sloppily (or cakes a product on to the point where skin doesn't look like skin anymore) that it's no longer classy, but painful on the eyes. But again, everyone sees makeup different and has different tolerance levels. My mom thinks anything past eyeliner, lipstick, and blush is just asking for negative attention and I think that's boring so...
