I should post a pic of my makeup collection. Some of you may kill over with a heart attack. jk

I like wearing makeup. I like being femenine. I like dressing my best, and like most girls I like being told I am pretty....but the honest reason why I wear makeup is I am so fair skinned I look like a wampire without it. I wear makeup to add color. Not to look like a drag queen.

I also wear makeup for myself. Not other people. So if someone doesnt like me in makeup, then look the other way. :)

Luke!!! marry someone who doesn't wear makeup!
Lol, maybe he should marry the Lord

Ha ha. Mr. Sharp, your post made me laugh.

But in all seriousness, we can't BAN makeup, right? I mean that's crazy. I don't like football because I think it's lame and boring, but I'm not going to try to get it banned.

I think that makeup is fine, and just like wearing flattering clothing, it makes a woman feel pretty. It's really no different than a guy making his hair look good, or putting on some cologne, or wearing a nice suit. Sometimes a woman has too much makeup, and that's no good. And I do agree that women don't NEED it to be good-looking, but that doesn't mean we should make it illegal. :p
Finally a voice of reason in tis madness, as a man I don't really care if a woman wears makeup or not. I do care what's going on inside of that head of hers. Maybe you should look a little deeper than the skin my makeup hating friend.

Now now let's not judge a man by one outburst lol it would be funny if he gets to heaven and sees the women who wore makeup up there :)

Makeup is okay, as long as you don't put so much on that you start looking like Tammy Faye Bakker.



The one thing I think ought to be banned are girls shaving their eyebrows off then penning them back in with sharpees. I thought that was years gone but I still see some doing it to this day. Yech!

I also like the spf in foundation.
Lipgloss and lipstick makes the lips feel soft and nice and gives some nice colour.
It can feel nice.
I dont wear makeup every day but do like to wear it sometimes aswell as putting nice clothes on and grooming a bit extra.
Would like to feel more passionate about it as Leilanii.Smile when read post :)
I actually have a diploma in makeupartistry but have never worked with it.
It can be loads of fun and creative but I dont really use it in that way myself.Just apply "basics" when put it on.
Wouldnt mind exploring with it, colours ,methods etc but just have not felt so passionate about it.

Make up is good as long as you dont over-do it. I go for the almost-natural looking, meaning less goop in the face, a little powder, a little blush and lipgloss and am good to go. Less is more.

If we ban make-up, what will happen to the clown industry? Movie industry? Celebrities will look normal. Oh no. The horror!
LOL

I have a diploma in makeupartisrty (though never worked with it) and wear makeup sometimes.
Whatever one feels good with or chooses.

But I sometimes think of Beauty therapist for the soul.
Perhaps Jesus is the best true Beautytherapist? :)

I have been deep in my journeys and whatever body one has or is in or where one be in spirit and soul and materia to keep ones soul pure.
Why I choose not to hate even those who done me so bad conciously and with no remorse.
They need Jesus to be a beauty therapist to their souls for the hurt they cause conciously and calculated and behaviours they have had and have.

But its nice to care also for the body one has aswell as soul and can be fun to lovingly dress and groom it in different ways.

should pizza be banned? Yet some people simply do no like it. Let's be real. Our outward appearance is nothing to our Lord. When he looks at us he see's his son. Judge no no man because our heavenly father does not judge us. Be Blessed!

I would be worried about the celebrities...there would be no more Hollywood, poor celebrities losing their jobs.
By the way I also like the almost-natural look, I bet some men don't even notice you have makeup on until you wash it off or tell them you have makeup on:rolleyes:

That is so true, ever wondered how Paris Hilton, Snooki and the likes would look like without their mask err i mean make-up on. (Frightening!)

Yeah, less makeup is good, I love mineral makeup cause it has a great coverage and requires less application. :) Thats why we're friends Karla, we are so alike. :)

Snooki...? I'm still not sure what's the big deal with her, she is famous because she acts dumb on tv...oh the world...
By the way I use mineral too, in powder :)
Great minds think alike Anna ;)

I don't like or wear makeup myself, but because the original poster's post irritated me, I voted no. :p People should have freedom to customize their faces. A person's face is their own property to do what they want with it. If some random guy hates it on other people, tough.

Wow, this thread has been around longer than I have. I wouldn't have thought the makeup issue was such a hot topic. I say if you need it, wear it. If you don't need it (which IMO most ladies don't) wear it if you like in reasonable quantities. The only time makeup bothers me is if someone looks like they applied it with a concrete trowel (2 inches thick).

If you really read further, (why I did, I have no idea, ugh), you'll find that he ended up changing his mind, or else just gave in. lol
