I feel really insecure without makeup?

[Anonymous]

I wear a decent amount of makeup every day... But when I don't wear it or wear less than usual I feel so ugly, I am so jealous of girls who are brave enough to go out in public without makeup on! I feel like the ugliest thing in the world without it, but I also don't like how much time it takes to do it. I want to feel more confident with my natural self. Any advice?

Well, you have to start small if you are so insecure about your looks with out make up.

I used to be that way, had tons of make up on and well... to be honest, it made me look horrible haha :/
But when I was trying to get used to the almost no makeup look... I just used makeup that I really needed. . .

Basic stuff: Mascara, blush, powder and lip balm.

Try to reduce your make up usage to only the things listed above.

First do it only when you're at home (so you get used to it your self, then you'll find confidence in your self to wear it) and so on... :)

How feel you. I have acne so I never leave my house with makeup and If I do I have panic attacks. It's really weird. But if you don't need color correction then you should be perfectly fine :) learn to love yourself then you'll be ok

I feel the same way. I hate leaving the house without makeup, sometimes I even hate sleeping without makeup on, I don't like my bf to see me without it (even though we've been together for two years and live together!) it makes me really anxious and I get almost scared over it. It really is dumb and I know it is but it still bugs me!

Do you use it for color correction?

[Asker]

No, I don't really have acne but my complexion is pretty uneven without it. My eyes also look way smaller without eye makeup and I don't like it!

Well no one really pays attention to how small or big someone's eyes are and if you don't have acne then you should be fine without it
