make-up was designed to enchance your natural beauty. sadly many women don't understand that and they wear a night make-up during the day. I've seen many women doing that. and also black eyliner might look good when you're young but as you get older by putting it on you're only going to manage to look even older

many women have the wrong conception that natural means no make-up. there are few women who have perfect skin. and make-up helps hide some of the sun spots, dark circles etc...there is nothing wrong with that. it gets bad when you wear excessive make-up. some women put on make-up to the point that they look like clowns

Make-up is good but over doing it is not really wise. I saw a lot of women who I barely recognize without make-up.

Yes. I get disappointed at women wearing night makeup at day. I like my makeup natural and looks like it's not even there. I like to enhance my features with makeup and not get too overly dramatic. Makeup is wonderful when used appropriately.

Hi! I guess it would depend as to what one is doing for work. I am an office girl myself and our office has enough light - not too bright, not dim, and so it is just but proper to put on a little make-up, with natural shades. If it would have been on a different setting, like perhaps one is working in a sales and marketing department wherein you need to meet a lot of clients from all walks of life. then I guess it gives justice to put one a little more darker and heavier make-up - not to overdo it but just to appropriately compliment your complete dress-up.

Well ladies, I have to say that if I could get away with it I would be going to work everyday looking like Dolly Parton ( I love her quote "You have no idea how expensive it is to look this trashy). I don't wear make-up to look "natural." Not to boast, but I've been told I look great without make-up; that I don't "need" to wear make-up.
I agree with those comments. I don't "need" to wear make-up, but I LOVE wearing make-up. I love eye shadow and how I can create "looks" by wearing multiple shades and doing shading. I sometimes wear up to 4 different, complimentary shades. I love "big" thick, long eyelashes. I was blessed with long lashes naturally, and I coat them with the most volumizing mascara I can find.
Eyeliner...love it...I wear black, and eggplant purple. Face make-up, I only wear Bare Essentials because it's all minerals and does not clog my pores or "settle" into fine lines on my face.
Lip liner and lipstick...love them both. For me make-up is a big part of fun of being a woman...but then of course I love sexy/trashy lingerie. I love wearing wigs or hairpieces mixed with my own hair. I love "vamping" up my look...and why wait for night? I could step off a curb at 12pm and get hit by a bus and never have a "night."
Life is short...if it feels good to you...then do it!!
And while I can't really dress like Dolly Parton for work...I do blazing red hair...I wear creative make-up, lots of jewelry and I try to look more "movie star" than "trashy starlet," but the "real" me..loves that trashy starlet look...so I prance "her" around when I'm home for my pleasure and my man's (and no that was not at HIS request...that is how I am with him or without him).
