Are you prettier when you have make up? I really envy those girls who look so pretty with make up. Because I don't look good with it. I don't evevn wear lipstick. I tried diffferent brands and shades but its still the same. So I never tried to put on my make up I just put some powder on my face and there....I'm ready to go.

Hi Niah...You are wonderful! I don't leave the house without makeup on. The only time it comes off is in my own home. I'm sure your skin is healthier and your pocketbook certainly lighter that you don't have to drag so much stuff around with you.

I am so glad someone invented makeup because I think I look so much better with it on! I don't ever leave the house without it, I at least need foundation and lip gloss before I will go anywhere. I am so pale and my complexion is not perfect. I think when you are really pale you can tell these imperfections even more, so I love to use makeup to cover them up. I love makeup and skin care. My favorite store is Sephora! My husband thinks I look beautiful no matter what, but I know the truth . I envy those who don't need to put makeup on and still look refreshed!

I really hate make up so I don't wear it. I think women look much more beautiful without it.

Hello there Niah 1976! What you should do is visit a mall and go to the make-up section and ask them to pick out makeup, lipstick/gloss, etc. that would best suit your skin complexion. At some malls, you will find that the people who work in the makeup department will actually put the makeup on for you. I wish you the best in your endeavors. Take care and God Bless! Oh and to answer your question: I look fine without makeup and when I do where any kind of makeup it's usually to enhance my eyes: eye shadow, liner and mascara. I don't wear the concealers or foundation or blush. And then I top it off with a nuetral lip gloss.

I don't know if I would look better with makeup or not. I have never worn it and my husband says I don't need it. So I guesss I look better without it. My daughter never used to wear it and now that she's married she wears a little. But I don't think she needs it. I think she looks better without it.

wearing too much of make up does not make any one look good. too much of make up is for weddings or for facing the cameras. for day to day living, make up is not that good. a light foundation that mixes well with the skin and a light shade of lip stick looks good. for you, i think you must visit a beautician who can try different styles and then give you a make up look that suits your facial features. probably the shades that you use are not suiting your complexion that is why it does not look good when your wear the lipstick.

OK I look better in makeup and completely drab without it but I don’t think I look extraordinarily pretty. That has to be there in the first place. Makeup just enhances our features, that’s all. If you don’t look good in makeup, I think your features are such that they don’t need any accentuation…you are pretty just as it is.

I don't know which looks better on me..with or without..but it doesn't matter. I often wear make up to work but not too much just a few to highlight my features. I don't like putting too much make up on because it would ruin my face.

I know that every woman wants to say that they are prettier without makeup but that just isn't me at all. When I have on makeup I feel more confident therefore as a whole I feel a lot more pretty. Makeup is a way to show the world how you want to feel and look at the same time.

sometimes it has something to do with the colors that you use. sometimes it just takes balance. sometimes your personality and physical characteristics can just carry off one feature to be enhanced by makeup. most of the time it's either the lips or eyes.

Beauty is measured upon waking up! Of course it's without make up. I feel comfortable having to put on lipstick, then am ready. Being simple is a mere beauty, as long as you tend to wear yourself as it is then its ok!!!

I don't really wear make up so I can't tell the different. so far, no humans nor animals run away when they see me, so I'm just normal.

My friends and my boyfriend tells me that I look pretty with or without make-up. Everyday they see me with a blush-on, eye liner and lipstick. But they also saw me just woken up, without make-up, haven't brush my teeth and haven't combed and they still say I look beautiful.

You must be a lucky and a beautiful woman. Other girls are only pretty when they have make-up on their faces, they look horrible if they aren't wearing any make-up. You can also save money by not buying make-up. I wear light make-up only as I have a tanned skin but I look much better with make-up. However, my bf doesn't want me to wear make-up as he like a girl to be more natural.

I wear makeup sometimes and sometimes it gives you a confidence boost wearing it. And maybe you think you don't look good in it but maybe other people do. Because sometimes I don't even think I look good with or without it but other people say I look really pretty when I have it on. So I guess it's just self-esteem for me and there's many brands of makeup that might work better on your face than the cheap kind. Like for me, I use Avon and MaryKay which work good with my face.

Well this is really easy. My wife 98 percent of the time she doesn't wear make up and nor powder or anything on her face. And she's beautiful. I love seeing her. Not the makeup, just her. And when she does put on make up she just puts on some eyeliner, mascara maybe a little bit of eye shadow to give her eyes even more beautiful. And she puts on a gloss or sometimes not even that just chapstick. And again no powder or cover up or anything. She trys to make it look as natural as she can. She looks sexy and beautiful either way. But honestly I like her natural look. To me it's more like looking at her and not seeing her hide behind make up.

I do look better with makeup, I just hardly ever wear it. Its not because I'm lazy - it just doesn't stay on! I am a college student and I take dancing lessons in the evenings. 10 minutes in the stuff is running down my face in streaks and it is just horrible. So, what about summer? I happen to work in a water park. Water everywhere and I sweat nearly all day long. It just doesn't ever seem to work out for me. So, the rare occasions where I do wear makeup always give me entertaining reactions. Banquet at the end of the season for the water park is always funny - all these people who wear nothing but shorts and have their hair in ponytails are looking like they are going to prom...so great. Some of the reactions still bring a smile to my face!

I can not go out of the house without a foundation and a lipstick. But that's all I put on my face. I look so pale without a lipstick that is why I can not do without it.
