I only use lipstick . I have a neighbour who would not put out the rubbish with the full make up on, Sometimes you see people my age ( mature lol)with a really bright red and I think it looks so tarty on an older person, I think less is more .Thanks in advance for any replies..xx

I don't wear it every day..and not full make-up unless it's halloween. I'll wear eyeliner and lipstick when I go out occasionally..but that's about it. Less DOES tend to be more..but their are exceptions, and there are wrong and right ways to do it. I've seen plenty of grandmas with fantastic make-up..so it's just all a manner of perception I guess.

I never used to be able to leave the house without full makeup on. Now I've completely changed that behavior. I have other things to worry about each day besides makeup and when we do go out I usually only wear blush, mascara and lipgloss because I agree w/ you, less is best.

I just recently started wearing make-up. I only wear a little bit of foundation and eye shadow, though. Nothing drastic.

No I do not slap on the make up, I only use my lipstick when I am going shopping or to the doctors but at other times I put a bit of make up on to go to my family homes, or visit my friends, or to go out for the night but I never slap on a lot of make up I don't understand why some woman have to put on so much make up as their block their pours don't they realize this.

I rarely wear any makeup. I agree with you ... less is more. I definitely prefer the natural look. I'll wear mascara and lipstick and a little blush, and rarely eyeliner. I'm not really into the bright colored lipsticks as they look really unnatural.

I had to stop using make up about 14 years ago after a hand operation ... and by the time I had got full use of my hand back I had also got used to seeing my face 'naked' .. for years I would have never gone out the door without a bit of 'slap' on ... so it was a bit nerve wracking not to have any at all on ..
But after a couple of months I was so used to having no make up on that when I could put it back on I felt a bit like a circus clown ... and I rarely bother now except for a few light touches here and there when I really need to ...

I don't slap on the makeup LOL. I think it makes me look like a clown. I don't think it would enhance my face any at all. I feel I am about as pretty as I am gonna get without makeup. I jst can't see painting my face LOL.

I don't like to put on alot of makeup because to me if you put too much on it looks nasty. I only put on eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara also some chapstick. That to me is getting all done up on the regular if anything I'll throw on some eyeliner an chapstick. Too much make up makes you look like a clown.

I agree less is definalty better. Im not a big fan of makeup but I do put a little foundation and eyeliner on when i go out, dont want to be scareing people lol. I love perfumes though and wear them everyday even if im not going anywhere, just nice subtle ones though. My fiance says when he sees some woman that they must need a paint scraper to get the makeup off there faces at night lol. I like to think that natural beauty is what we are all blessed with, inside and out.

I don't like wearing makeup, I prefer looking natural.
I do put on lipstick and maybe foundation if I have a special occasion but other than that I don't like wearing it at all.

Personally, I'm 27 and only wear make up if I'm going out somewhere. What's the point in dolling your self all up just to sit around the house...lol

i don't use much make up. i use lip gloss/lip stick and a powder for my face and eye shadow and mascara and that's about it. it doesnt take long either. most days i dont even wear any because i go tanning and you can't wear makeup in the tanning bed.

I don't use makeup that often anymore. When I do, it's the liquid-powder type of foundation, light blush, and mascara. The first time I took my daughter to school without any makeup on, I think I put her in shock! LOL I used to put it on pretty heavy, but I just don't want all of that gunk on my skin anymore.

I don't. I don't feel I have too. I feel okay with my face without all the makeup. I do though everyday atleast curl my eyelashes and put a little mascara and lip gloss. The natural look is alot nicer looking too me. It's okay though to put darker make-up on I think, when you are going out somewhere and are dressing up.
