I feel like I am shabby just so I don't put on makeup to work. I only wear lip gloss and powder to work and that's it. I want to learn how to put on makeup but I don't know how. I want to look professional when going to work but I can't seem to find the proper make up for me. Girls, I know that for our appearance to look complete we should wear proper makeup along side it. Even if we wear good clothes and dress and our hair and make up is not done, it seems that something is lacking. Don't your agree?

Yes, it would be nice if you wear proper make up in your work that would make you descent and professional looking. But like you, I also do not wear make up everyday. I only put powder and lip balm and comb my hair and that's it. I am not good in applying make up that I only transform myself into a clown after. I only wear make up during special occasions and I choose those make up artist who really knows what type and style of make up is good for you and for the occasion. If you have time you can drop by at department store's beauty section. There are sales ladies in there who sell make up kits and they apply make up for free to those who are willing and bought something from them. Some of them are really good so maybe you can take sometime to watch them or ask them.

Hello there Aileen. Before, I didn't know how to put on make up too. I just put on some lip gloss and that's it. I think when I was younger, my skin was still a bit sensitive when it comes to some powder or foundation so I don't put on any of them on my face. Then, when I started working, I saw my sister putting on some make up. I also liked to buy some eyeshadows of different shades. Then my other sister said that the eyeshadow I was able to apply was messy. I felt a bit discouraged and I said I don't want to put on eyeshadow again. Then, after some time, I saw some eyeshadows while I was in a department store. I bought again another one with different palletes. That time, I was so desperate on how to put on some of it on my eyelids neatly. I tried to control my hands and I tried how to learn how to put them on properly. I was happy when I was able to do it better than before. Then, I tried putting on some lipstick of different shades. My favorite shades nowadays are red and fuchsia. I also love putting on some face powder, eyeliner, lip liner, and sometimes even mascara. There was really a time that I was addicted in putting on some make up. I really made it everyday for me to feel better and a little confident. I loved it when I saw my face in the mirror and my make up was just right. But nowadays, I don't usually put on make up anymore. I only put on some make up if I have a lot of free time. I also love putting on make up when I go out with my friends and with my boyfriend. I also put on making up when I know that we will be having a picture taking. In that case, I would know that I would look okay in the pictures that would be taken. I also put on make up when I go to work but only if I feel like it. Nowadays, I put on make up when I'm in a good mood or when I'm not lazy to do so. Later, if I have my free time, I think I would put on some. If ever you want to learn how to put on some make up for you to look more professional when you go to work, you can watch some videos in the internet on how to put on make up properly. There are a lot of tips that you would learn. I also did it beforre and I learned a lot from different videos in different sites. You could also read some tips but I think watching some videos is easier to do so you would see the steps done one at a time. Happy myLotting. :)

I don't really like wearing make up everyday since my face is oily. Good thing I am working in a company wherein we are not required to be that presentable and we are not even required to wear business attire as well. That is why I can wear the clothes that I am comfortable with and also I am not wearing make up everyday.

I think not necessary to wear make up daily but occasionally it is required. I not like make up everyday. Because after at one age our skin is not good if we do the make up daily. While going in function then use makeup otherwise not.

Yes I totally agree with you. But the main thing is a healthy skin. No matter how much make up you have put on your skin if you have an unhealthy skin it will look like a mask, totally fake and a lot of flakes everywhere. I did have an unhealthy skin, and make up made me worse. But after I took care of my skin, the make up is so great to increase my appearance. Btw, I only wear eyeliner/eyelashes - lipstick - and eyebrow. I don't wear any foundie or face powder (my healthy skin is the make up instead). And I do have my fav brands which never give me a bad effect after wearing them. My appearance is totally different when I do apply some make up :)

I wear make-up when I can or when I have to, but I don't wear it everyday because it can damage your face if you are not careful. I do know women who love to wear make-up and cosmetics everyday, but again, if you don't wear moisturizer or something to protect your skin, then you could be damaging your skin every time you put make-up on because a lot of that make-up has harsh chemicals in it. I used to be a Mary Kay Sales Consultant (I don't sell it any more for various reasons that I will not get into right now), but I learned a lot about make-up, and I have found out that I am even allergic to a lot of the make-up and cosmetics that are out there, Mary Kay Cosmetics being on that list. I am not saying not to wear make-up, but I am saying be careful every time that you do. Know what is in your make-up, and know what kind of damage it might be doing to your skin. I love to wear make-up, but I have to be so careful when I put any of it on. I can wear Cover Girl, Bare Essentials, Bare Minerals, and Neutrogena, but I am taking a risk if I wear anything else.

Me too. I never make up. I think it wastes me a lot of time and it is not very necessary for my job. I heard that someone will spend more than 1 hour in the morning to make up. I can not stand it. Be natural, be plain. Haha

I wear make up because it feels good to me...so even when not going out I indulge is just the base makeup with all the moisturizer, powder & stuffs...but when going out there would be loads of them....just to make myself happy and looking good.

I was like you before. I didn't know how to put on make up, but I learned how to put on make up by myself. Actually, I just use bb cream as make up base to cover up blemishes. Since i have very thin brows, I use a cream eye brow liner and a little blush and just a lip gloss. Then i'll top it all with just a face powder. The only time I would use eye make up is when i go out with friends at night. One with a make up looks really great in photographs.

Yes, that's true my friend. Along with dressing up impeccably, it should be that we should have some make-up on our face, enough to put a glow on our face. If you notice , put two equally beautiful woman side by side and you will surely say that the one who has make-up has class. Thus, in my opinion, a make-up adds class to a simple face. There are a lot of make-up lessons and tips on the net, my friend. Try to browse.

I wear make-up when I go to work and anytime that I go out of the house. Just a little eye make-up, lipstick and powder. I already considered it as wearing make-up.

i always put make up on whenever i go out but i don't put on heavy makeup just a light and natural one and i based the shade on the clothes i wear. i am not really good when it comes to makeup especially on applying eye shadow, i'm not so sure about the proper way to apply or blend it. but i just do a simple makeup on the eye sometimes i mixed light with dark ones. i think it is nice to wear make up just to make our face will look alive and more attractive, it doesn't have to be too heavy but just a natural and light one will do.

I love makeup. If you want to learn how to properly wear makeup, sometimes magazines have good tips. You can go to a cosmetics counter and get a make over as well as more tips. Makeup art is definitely something we can all learn. Makeup allows for the enhancement of what we have when done properly. If you choose to wear makeup, understand that you can also be innovative in your own look by discovering your own choice of colors and techniques.

I actually never wear make up anymore at all occasionally I will wear some eye liner and some lipstick but make up never looks right on me either it just doesn't do anything for me when I was younger I used to wear like the foundation powder and al of that but not anymore it just gets all caked up on my face and does nothing for me. Maybe you could go to a store in the mall where they sale the make up and one of the ladies there can help you?

I do not wear make up every day and I don't think there is a need to. If anyone does not like how I look they can look the other way. Lol. I am at the point where I am married with kids, I have no one to impress these days. If I go out somewhere nice I will put on a little make up but not a lot and I barely ever go anywhere to wear it.

I don't wear make up everyday, especially when I'm just at home. But if I'm going out and will be spending a hours meeting friends and appointment then I wear a bit of make up just to enhance my picture and not to hide or make me look any different. I usually put on concealers, powder, eyeliner, mascara and lipgloss and that's it. I always go for the natural look as it is easier to retouch and it goes with any outfit.
