Ladies, have you ever been told to stop wearing makeup?

Yes, I've been told. Once. BY A GUY! He said I shouldn't wear lipstick! Turns out he was being sweet. Because he said... "You don't need to. You have beautiful pink lips." Aww...

I've been told to not wear heavy make ups by my dad. He tells me I look much older than my actual age that way. Anyway I don't listen to him and do whatever I please . Actually I love make ups but I don't like putting them on all the time. I do put them on while out with the girls but it's not that often. My make up especially focuses on the eye as I love dark eye make ups.

I have been told by my husband to stop wearing make up maybe a few months after we got married. He said, what's the reason for wearing make up and that why am I making myself pretty, for who? Then I told him I need to be prettier now that I am married so i never stopped wearing them.

Yes I have. The boy friends I had (there was a couple of gals I had for friends but their families moved away from my city)would always tell me not to wear makeup. At the same time telling me how ugly I was! lol. Then I got into the punk rock and wore heavy, heavy makeup and ratted my hair, and a couple of guys I dated who I met at the clubs told me not to wear so much. Huh? They met me this way! Now I do not wear makeup so much anymore, just foundation and lipstick. Once in awhile eyeliner and very rarely eyeshadow. Your cousin needs to learn to mind her own business. It is quite annoying to have someone telling you what to wear and not to wear.

When I was young and my mom caught me using her make-up, she said that I should stop using them since I'm still young and it may damage my face. When I did grow up and already working, she's the one pushing me to wear make-up. I don't grow up liking to put make-up on my face not even at my previous work where we sell cosmetic products. I only put them occasionally but not on a regular basis. I know that I'm pretty enough without it.

My husband told me that I should not wear makeup because it clouds my beauty. He said that he would much rather see the real me than to look at my face all "dolled up" in clown makeup. The funny thing is when I became pregnant with our first child he told me that I should start wearing makeup and he might be attracted to me again! I was totally mad because I was pregnant and of course your feelings get hurt easily. Not to mention the fact that I did stop wearing makeup because I believed his line about seeing the real me! I think that every woman should do what makes her feel the best regardless of who is telling her otherwise because at the end of the day the only thing that matters is how you feel about yourself!

I was never told to use less make-up or stop wearing them, instead, I have been told to use more. Yes it's our right to do everything we want to ourselves, however, there might be some truth as to why someone would tell you so. I mean, most often, we don't really see that we're overdoing something. It's actually brave for someone to tell you or advise you something. Perhaps most would just ignore the fact that you look overdone. Anyhow, when that someone told me that I should use more, I followed and many praised my looks that time. So, I guess it pays to listen. However, if a person would tell you to stop without any valid reason (like just because he wants you to look dry so that nobody would be attracted to you) then that is another story.

Nobody has ever told me to stop wearing makeup. I stopped wearing it years ago. I feel perfectly comfortable in my own skin. I once or twice tried foundation. Couldnt satnd it. It was like wearing a mask. I washed it off right away and threw the crap in the garbage. Perfect place for it. When i used to wear make up it was just a little eye makeup. My eyelashes would fall out. I havent had that problem since i stopped wearing it at all.Im completely makeup less and perfectly comfortable without it. I have seen some girls with much ludichrist make up they look like they are ready to go out trick or treating. Sometimes it almost makes me wanna laugh the way they have it. Looking like Endora the mother in law on "Bewitched".

When I was young i was told by a lot of people not to wear make up since they have harsh chemicals for the skin. When i was in college i put on lipstick and powder only. At that time in the mid 90s what was in fashion was the brown tinted lipstick. So i had a dark revlon lipstick that all my friends used and we would go to our class with only that lipstick on. One of my friends looked bare and so plain without it. I like to put on make up before going to work before but sometimes there are days when i do't use make up at all. But now that i work at home the only opportunity i have to put on make up is when i go to parties. I love make up but and i really enjoy putting them on other people's face and not only on my own. I like how they enhance one's beauty but i've never over done make ups before. I always put it on only to hide imperfections on my face or to enhance my feature but never to cover up my real face.

Hello Nobody ever told me to stop wearing make up, but i don't want myself to use lipstick, cream, eyeliners etc, i love my natural look, after bath i apply little talcum powder, but i apply turmeric paste mixed with honey during bath all over body, it keeps my skin glow like pure gold, and free from infections. On festive occassions;we apply mehandi on foot and palms, apply alta (red color) on side of foot .. Thanks for sharing Happy posting, cheers. Namastey. Kalyani !

I have never been told not to wear makeup. Instead, there is one person who wants me to apply makeup on my face, and that is, my mother. lol. I am not used to do such because I feel tired of doing it. I just want to be simple. However, I understand my mother's side of wanting me to wera makeup. Perhaps soon, I will be able to do as she wish.

yes i have been told not to wear makeup and obviouly the people know nothing of what they are talking about...I told them if you seen me without makeup then you would want me to wear it. Makeup covers all my blemishes and my skin is real red and foundation smoothes all this out...eyliner makes my eyes stand out, i wear it everyday and will not stop. I also heard it is bad for your skin and will cause wrinkles and my answer to that is when that time comes i will deal with it but why not be beautiful while im young?

well... I don't really wear make-up alot and if I do you can hardly see it. But my sister has an addiction to showable make-up. She puts on make-up even if she's going to buy some pencils from the store. My dad can't stand it he's always fussing about her wearing make-up all the time and how she should stop. And how she looks older than her age because of make-up. My sister on the other hand doesn't seem to care she just tells my dad she won't do it next time and my dad always falls for it.

Ive never been told not to wear makeup but ive benn asked why I wear curtain Makeup looks. Or why i dont wear more natural looks. my boyfriend doesnt like makeup he thinks girls are beautiful without makeup so I try no to wear more dramatic looks around him. but no ive never been told or asked to stop wearing makeup cuz I mostly only wear makeup for my makeup tutorials on youtube which is like 2 days out of the week other then that I rarely wear makeup. other then special occassions.

no, because I rarely wears make ups maybe in my younger days at work I applied lipstick and compact powder that's it those days usually men actually said I am plain face or something lol I don't care because if anything I am happy with moisturizers is enough I've never heard a man telling his woman/date not to wear make ups lol but I guess I've just never met such man

my hubby does not like me when i make up. he feels like he see someone else, not me. he said that he just love me juts the way i am. i can understand his reason and i am totally not mind about this but when i go out i just use foundation, lipstick and apply some perfume

I was told to use make up or at least wear light make up. I don't use make up everyday or even with occasion,it's so seldom that i did. I only use when it need to go for some occasions that really need to wear make up not to look like waking up from bed. The only cosmetic that i always used is lipgloss and baby powder (hahaha) But i like to tell my friends how they'd wear make ups,and what to use.

Yes, by ex boyfriend. I found it to be so sweet cause he said my natural face was the one that was more preatty than the one with make up.

yeah i have been told not to wear lipstick all the time hehehe but hey so what right? it's my choice. i just don't wanna look pale when i go out. i wear lipstick every time i go out. i know it's annoying but let's just not mind them. for me, it's okay if they tell me to stop wearing it but as long as it is in a good way. not tell me like i am all about make up and all that stuffs and make me feel bad and embarrass me because i wear it

wearing makeup is a personal thing. No one can dictate other's feelings. some love makeup and want to look at their best. some r lazy to do even minimum makeup. they protect their laziness by telling they want to look simple. It is personal business. dear divineathena don't get offended at others comments. do what u like. i felt sorry for u. be cheerful. and wear makeup. don't devoid of this simple pleasure of wearing makeup for others.
