There's nothing wrong with make-up.

I had a hater recently in facebook. She always brags how she is so beautiful (though she looks like a duck) and that beauty isn't about cosmetics. Well, I'm kind of drawn into make-up. I can't go out when I don't get my eyebrows done, have a quick eyeliner, and a red lipstick. I feel so naked without them. I don't really flood my face with make-up, it's just a quick touch to make your face glow more. I think make-up is a way to enhance beauty. That's what I said with that hater, that make-up won't fix her face. I just don't get it why she is so against with what I have. I didn't even do anything to her. Make-up is okay, right? As long as it is just right and appropriate for your destination and attire.

We all have haters because no matter what we do, everyone's always got something bad to say. There's really nothing we can do about it because we do not owe them to teach them values and ethics. Anyway, I don't think makeup is wrong. I also wear makeup but to enhance only and not to dramatically change my face lol! I usually have on lipstick, blush and eyeliner and that's it. But I can also go out without.
All of us are entitled to our own opinion about anything but that doesn't give us the right to flame someone else when they've got an entirely different belief from us. Hating someone because she's different is a pure sign of immaturity and shallowness. You could do well without that "friend".

Nothing wrong in make-up if you are doing occasionally or in function but if you are wearing daily then skin problem arise. After one age your skin will not look good. Because you can see old ladies not wearing the make up but still they looks nice. You are right make up is way to enhance beauty but more make up means lost the beauty.

Hello there Lingling. Just don't mind about that hater of yours. All of us have our individual differences. Others might really love putting on some make up while others just wanted to have their natural beauty. I think she shouldn't compare herself to you and to the other people. If she does it, maybe it's okay but she doesn't have to be very vocal about that. She should just keep it to herself and she should just try to make herself pretty in her own way too. She shouldn't mind another lady's way of taking care of herself. She should just mind her own business. She should just mind her own face. :) If she doesn't like to wear make up, it's just fine. She shouldn't just mind other women who are really into make up. She should just learn how to respect other women's way of grooming.
In my case, I also love putting on some make up. I just love using some eyeshadow, face powder, eyeliner, and lipstick. Oh, I'm also really into red lipstick. I think I got it from my mother. Before, I just tried putting on her lipstick on me. I think I really liked how I looked that time. Then, she bought me a red lipstick so I would have my own. From that time, I couldn't smile that much in pictures without putting on some red lipstick. Sometimes, others also criticized me for using a very vibrant shade of red lipstick. I just smiled and told them that I really love that shade. I'm already used to using it. Another person criticized me while wearing some make up. She told me that it's like I'm working in a pub. I told her that was so exaggerated. :) I think I way I put on make up is just simple. I don't usually put on heavy make up. I just put on moderately. If others don't love wearing some, it's up to them.
I think what you told her was just right. At least you were able to tell your side. Cosmetics really enhance the beauty that we have. I also think there's nothing wrong in using them. We just want to feel like real women. I think both of us are the same. We are just used to putting them on. When we won't wear some, I think we would think we look so pale. Just enjoy putting on make up no matter what other people might say to you. If that's what would make you feel good about yourself, just continue doing it. No one should stop you in doing what you want, that is, putting on some make up. Stay pretty. Happy myLotting to you. :)

there is nothing wrong of wearing make-up. i am not against of using it. if the person wearing it had it done finely as to his strokes and the subtle effect of it as it glows in his face, it enhances and shows the beauty being hidden. make-up would make us the reflection glows more and bring us the confidence out from within. wear make up too but not all the time for i am always in a hurry. just lipstick and face powder would be fine but if not in a rush or having parties, well, that is the time i will used my knowledge for me to refine the stroke to make myself pretty well, that is according to my belief haha
so thanks to you

If you're comfortable with who you are, then to hell with those people. I have a tattoo and i've been harassed both here on mylot and in real life. To hell with those people. I will live my life according to how i choose it and according to my own happiness. It's not that they're affected by what we do to our own skin.
There's nothing wrong with feeling good because you have make-up on. If she's not comfortable with that, she should keep that to herself because if she says otherwise, she would appear as an insecure human being.
There's nothing wrong with make-ups. They're a gift. They enhance our beauty, but they could also make us look horrendous if we don't know how to use them properly.
Enjoy your life and put on make-up as you see fit!

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and you can't please everyone. If make-up is your thing, don't let anyone get in your way because that's who you are. If wearing make-up makes you appreciate yourself more and boost your confidence or just plainly part of your daily routine, don't mind those haters. They probably need some good make-up advice from you so they too can have a sense of satisfaction within themselves.

LOL! This makes me laugh!! First off, tell your hater to go get a life and worry about what SHE SHOULD do with some make-up. I grew up hating make-up; I don't know why.. I just always said I would never wear it.. But around my senior year of high school my mom started letting me wear eyeliner as long as it wasn't too thick and crazy looking. Then I added eye shadow & finally mascara.. I don't go crazy with the whole make-up thing either. I agree with you; I believe it's to enhance your natural beauty. & I'm right with you.. I hate goin out if my eyebrows aren't done either.. Those are my "bummy" days because my arch isn't as pretty as it was about 2 wks prior when I got them done. But like the others commented, its YOUR face and if you feel like you can't go out without a little eyeliner and lipstick on, then that's fine! Do what makes you happy! Me personally, I think she could just be jealous..or have low self-esteem. Who knows? Who cares honestly? People like that I just brush them off and keep it moving. Keep doin what you do girl! :)
