i HATE when people say "you don't NEED all that makeup on". so what? i flipping WANT it on! the other day i was bored waiting for my bf to finish work, its like 9:00 at night and i figured i'd play with some makeup. i just had normal foundation and blush on. and i blended a light purple, light turquoise and a white shimmer colour (plus liner and mascara). i thought it looked super cute. as SOON as i walked downstairs my mom looks at me and goes "whoa thats too much makeup" to which i immediately responded "how would you know? you don't even wear makeup" and then she said she was only trying to "help". so i said well you're not, i can do what i want. and then she got all mad.
BUT later, my dad saw me and said "your makeup looks very nice today" so i said "thank you....mom said i was wearing too much" and you know what he said??? here it is: "yea but you know what? your mom doesn't wear any makeup"
lol! i was like exactlyyyyy! felt weird getting makeup approved by my dad and not my mom haha.

But obviously i think some girls get jealous and start slating because they have nothing nice to say... my boyfriend hasnt got a problem at all, he loves me without makeup but he knows how much i love it so he buys me mac when new collections come out, he loves that i collect something and enjoy it.. just like he loves his football i love my makeup! soo what about you guys?

Sounds like she's jealous! No one would just attack you for no reason like that unless they had a reason to. I don't think it has anything to do with your makeup or hair at all. Like I said, she's probably just bitter and jealous because she doesn't look like you!

My mom tells me that sometimes LOL. So I dont care. She thinks that Only ''natural'' colors suit me. So When I wear Greens or blues or bright pinks she is like OOOOOOOOOOOOO and im like *leaves*. Sometimes at school I get commetns like: wow that must have taken you so long. But It makes me feel good when I walk out the door. Its something I enjoy doing. I cant wait to wake up in the morning and start painting my eyes! I obviously am smart enough to judge and say: Oh look Lauren. You have 10 min. to get ready. Maybe you shouldnt waste time on make up. But when I do have time. I look forward to it!

 

[foxykita143]

People have said things to me before like "Uhh Jess, we're just going to get lunch, do you really need to put all of that crap on?" or "Oh man, Jessica has to go get ready to see no one" but I dont look at it like that. I think first impressions are everything and since when is it bad for someones first impression of me to be that I like to take care of myself? To most people e/s=too much make up. But besides that, people usually say crap like that because they are jealous of you! They try to talk everyones ear off about how your fake because not only do they want people to think you aren't really that pretty, but they want to believe it their selves. Next time, tell her that if shes so worried that your prettier than her, that you will give her a complimentary makeover so she will keep her unglossed lips shut about you.

This is an actual convo I had with a Hater a couple of months ago:

Hater- Why do you wear so much make up?
Me- Why do you have so many basketball shoes?
Hater-Uhh...because I love basketball.
Me-Interesting...so what was your question again?

I hate it how people will come up with the perception that people who wear makeup are insecure about their looks. I get occasional comments on my youtube of some randoms talking about how I look fine without makeup and don't get why I bother to spend so much money and time on it. It really offends me. I should be able to have a harmless hobby too. Just because I choose to paint my face rather than paint murals or collect coins. They think they can just have assumptions of someone they don't even know by watching them apply makeup for 10 minutes. Obviously if one was watching a video of someone shooting another person then a lot can be assumed of that person within that 10 minutes but this is just makeup folks.

I have been told I wore too much makeup and oddly enough it was when I had on foundation, light neutral shadow, mascara and neutral pink lipgloss. People are just weird.

 

[florabundance]

I've never had that comment before about wearing too much, but I hate when you're sitting there with a full face of make up and then someone who is there wearing just some liner or whatever says:
"Yeah, i don't like wearing too much make up..i've NEVER worn foundation" really proud of themselves - like they're SO above cosmetics, or that there is something dirty about it.
my sister in law ALWAYS does that
i feel like saying
"well done you - have a cookie"

but instead i sit there going on about what I have on that day - brands, names and all, like "fuck you" lol

I never really understand the sentiment behind that kind of comment, but it feels Soo snidey

 

[sinergy]

I love to wear bold and colorful makeup, I have nice big eyes and I like to play them up! But Ive gotten those comments especially from my husbands family, which eh, I could care less, I mean if you could see his sister and her hair...

and then her 'makeup bag' Im glad Im me.

Sometimes it hurts my feelings, because its like why would you take the time out of your day just to put someone down for something that has nothing to do with you???? my niece is graduating high school and for her present i wanted to send her some MAC and my sis in law was like...well not everyone gets off on stuff like that, you might as well send her money instead, im sure she could use it more.

what's it to her? your niece, your gift. i hate when parents restrict their kids from things THEY don't like..

 

[triccc]

some people mainly dudes think I am wearing too much makeup..
I don't care! I love it even if I am a tomboy!

 

[pumpkincat210]

So far noone has said anything rude to my face.
Infact I think it has helped me gain respect amongst people. My husband sometimes complains that i take too long putting it on though.
I like makeup more for a creativity outlet than to cover up flaws, but hey thats a bonus for me, lol.

 

[Jessica6128]

I think most women in general like to be snarky to other women especially when you see something you like on them they act jealous. Instead they should just be like Hey I like your makeup, boots..whatever is on them..give them a compliment, ask them where they got it..or even ask for a makeup tip.

 

[melliquor]

Nobody has never said anything to me... if they did, I would tell them to piss off.

 

[sinergy]

ooooo. Another thing, Im originally from a bigger city so you know more stuff was going on there obviously, style/hair/makeup wise then we moved to this extreme bible belt area which is fine, but I went to cosmetology school here and Ive always been into makeup, lots of girls I went to school with didnt even know what MAC was. (so I had to school them, haha) but anyhow, a few of the 'seniors' when I started would tell me things like, 'o is MAC like an ethnic line?' or 'hmmm...people with more of a tan can pull off those colors...if I wore them Id look like a street walker' (that was in fact one of the instructors....lmao) And seriously I like to push it sometimes, but not enough to warrant those comments. people are craaaa-sssiee!!!

 

[woopsydaissy]

Yeah. But I hardly ever wear foundation. So it pisses me off, cause usually they have crap smeared allover their face.

 

[AudreyNicole]

I have never been told I WEAR too much makeup, but I have been told that I HAVE too much makeup.

Honestly, I don't feel comfortable NOT wearing makeup. If someone has a problem with that, then to hell with them!

As far as the girl in the chatroom, well, I am SURE she is jealous. You are GORGOEUS, and if you had pictures up, then she can see just how beautiful you are. I am sure that she doesn't have any pictures up so that she can harass others online without them being able to slam her back. Personally, I wouldn't give her the satisfaction of a backlash from you. She is trying to get a rise out of people, and if she knows it bothers them, she will continue. It is really sad that some people have such a low self esteem that they have to put down others in order to make themselves feel better. Don't worry, you don't wear too much makeup. From everything I have seen from you, your makeup is always very tastefully done and accentuates your natural beauty

(BTW, I just tried to add you on myspace and it wouldn't let me

)

I get told I wear too much makeup all the time. I don't give a damn. Just the other day I was at a closing and the freakin' Realtor told me I wore to much makeup. Then my client agreed. Who the hell are these people?

I know it is Houston and it's hot and humid and if I sweat I will look like a cake, but I go to great lengths with blotting papers to make sure this does not happen.

Also, I don't give a rat's ass if someone has a problem with the amount of makeup I'm wearing. It's their problem, not mine. I think the biddy who made a comment about your makeup on the internet was a tool. You're beautiful and you make me sick (in a good way).

Sometimes I feel like whipping out my MSF and my piggies and going to town on some of these so called "natural beauties". Natural beauty my ass. I just want to tell them that there is still prep work involved in the natural look, and it didn't payoff!!!!!!!! JMO.

 

[reesesilverstar]

I got this comment once from a guy, and all I was doing was putting on some eyeliner...

Well, I wasted no time telling him that instead of commenting on my makeup, he should concentrate on washing his hands after using the bathroom... Yea, i got pissed off!
