People being closed minded about makeup

[stephie06]

i've gotten rude comments on youtube and other areas, stating that i look like a drag queen or i have a black eye. it's true, if we put our faces out on the internet, some person is going to be critical. mean comments make me not want to make tuts and post pictures, but then i just realize that whoever is criticizing is just a small minority so their comments shouldn't affect me. it definitely is frustrating though.

 

[Bootyliciousx]

I hope you feel better = ) Ignore them.

 

[BloodMittens]

Lol. When people do that to me I just go back to their page and say "Do you wear that in public? Gawd, how gross."

"I like being a drag queen. Get over it." Etc etc.

But I don't like posting myself on the internet too much... so oh well.

Kat Williams said it best:

"If you a woman and you got 14 haters, you need to figure out how to get to 16 by the time the summer is over."

Here's the entire bit (not for those who are sensitive to harsh language)

I've had the principal of my high school tell me that she couldn't imagine what a trainwreck I've started to look like once I graduated high school (but that was because I wore goth makeup, had 15 different piercings, and sported bleached blond and crayon red hair). At first I was sort of hurt, especially because I had a lot of respect for her. I considered her my mentor and I'd say I was one of her favorite students when I was in high school (valedictorian, won awards in competitions, all-over good girl)

Then I got over it because if she could change her opinion of me based on how I look, I can change my opinion of her based on what she is.

Unfortunately you can't expect everyone to understand glamour! They shouldn't be leaving comments like that though, it's a waste of time and it's very silly as they were the ones who searched for makeup, they shouldn't expect you to pop on some mascara and gloss and say thanks for watching!

Not everyone is fabulous enough to understand fabulousness.

My best friend through school, from second grade onward, was so pretty. Typical blond blue eyes, tiny, toned athletic little thing and very smart. She always was.
What she's done to herself with tattoos, clothes, hair...experimentation, and piercings renders her completely unrecognizable.
Unfortunately, she lives from place to place, fights her addictions (prescription and not), and hasn't had a job, other than a cook in at most a Red Lobster, in a decade.
She's got nothing to show for her life other than 40% of her body covered in tattoos, and she's not headed anywhere but further down from where she's at.
It was, and is, a waste. She hates herself, and it's obvious by what she's done to herself. It wouldn't be, imo, a stretch to call her a trainwreck.

I don't care about tats, piercings, whatever, but I care about the fact that we're approaching 30 and she's doing nothing with her life but floating homeless and aimlessly between her drug addled friends.


I'm not saying that's the kind of trainwreck you are, or that you are even a trainwreck, but when someone says trainwreck, my friend comes to mind, and it's so sad. :/

People will always find something negative to say. They don't understand that makeup is something that should be fun, can be a means of self expression and is an art. I am also used to hearing the "I think your makeup is too much" comment and people criticize my work as an artist. In reality, I think that some of these people who make the comments are a little jealous becuase they don't have the guts to stand out or the talent to apply the makeup well! I love seeing people with bold makeup, I think its just fabulous! Let the ignorant keep talking, they just don't get 'it'. If they want to be boring fine, more pretty makeup for us!!!

I put up with the comments each day. I kind of expect it now. But c'mon people get over a guy wearing make up. Frankly, I love it. What harm does it cause them... Some people almost get violent???

 

[Kuuipo]

Who cares about what people comment on at You Tube? Its so juvenile,really,to make catty little comments. Makeup is about self expression.
Its adult playtime. Its about putting your game face on to leave the home. It is not necessarily about vanity,artifice or narcissism. I don't care what you do in life (I am in the science field),there is always room for makeup. Ignore the haters.

 

[chocolategoddes]

people tend to be asshole-ish on youtube. it makes them feel superior as they sit on their computer all day wondering what life could be like if tey were really that confident!

 

[glamdoll]

I was told that only ugly people wear makeup to hide their face. o_0?

um yeah. I love makeup, and Im not hiding anything.

I've heard that a lot. That "only ugly girls wear makeup". Whatever. The most beautiful girls I know all wear makeup. In fact, look at the forum. All gorgeous girls in great makeup.

It's such stupid logic anyway, I mean.. makeup can't fix ugly, only decorate it.

i have heard that a lot too! and i agree with the above post look at the fotd section here, everyone is gorgeous!
we use make up to accentuate the features we have!!
people are just jealous!

First of all, keep in mind that when you post videos on youtube, there will ALWAYS be trolls lurking around insulting everybody! It's just something you have to get used to...mentally block them out. They're not worth worrying about at all.

And as for going out and getting stares...most people are used to a dark smokey eye at the MOST. Otherwise, sometimes even wearing heavy makeup in the daytime will cause you to get weird stares, like "What is she thinking? This isn't a club!!" But I think makeup (as well as fashion) is a form of expression and it is an art. Like art, some people just don't understand it, so they will stare or shun anything that isn't "normal" in society's standards. Some might be so bold to make fun of it. And yes, they're being rude and inconsiderate, but there are a lot of dumb, ignorant people in the world.

If you want to wear bold colors, go for it girl. Be different. You can never force people to understand you, so you just have to kind of develop "blinders" if you want to wear bold makeup. It's kind of inevitable that people will stare if it's not what they're used to seeing (like you said, covering blemishes, mascara, neutral makeup..) but don't let that stop you from doing your thing!!

xoxo much love

 

[ilovexnerdsx]

being different and doing what YOU want to do comes with risks. but if you sit down and assess it ... would you rather be happy, or a sheep?

i've always been drawn to people who are their own person.

and, another point, ANYone can pull an insult like that out of their ass. "you're ugly" is more of an insult to the person speaking, IMO, because it shows nothing intelligent on their part. it can't be a valid insult if they don't have a valid reason. and if they don't have a valid reason, you have 100% rights to not give a shit

its tough sometimes. but just pick yourself back up and tell them, "i'm not here to impress you"

 

[SparklingWaves]

I respect people that put their faces out there on YouTube with makeup tutorials. That takes guts. Irregardless of whether they like the particular look, that takes courage to show the world how to go from your true bare face to all out glamour. Whew! I would feel so naked. Talk about XXX. I couldn't handle it. YIKES!

 

[yur_babeydoll]

Honestly, I've never had any problems...usually when people I know see my makeup when I do it up bold or colorful (even if I seriously question how much they really like me lol), they usually have nothing but compliments to make. Then again though...I'm not posting em on youtube....ppl are asses, self conscious, n jealous...screw em!!!
