Self-conscious about my flushed cheeks, are they off putting for girls? should I use concealer?

[Anonymous]

as you can see my cheeks get flushed and go red really easy. it's kinda genetic and pretty uncomfortable when it happens, and I get really self-conscious about them and sometimes I think that maybe it's a contributing factor to why I don't get much luck wih girls. (admittedly I'm not super-confident - working on that ;-) but either I don't know if I am being too critical of them, or should I learn to accept them as me. it's hard to ignore though when you can feel your face burning up!

just want to know honestly whether I should try and do something about them...tbh I don't like the idea of using make-up (apparently green tinted concealer is what a lot of people use)

here's what they are like: link

thanks for the answers! it's really changed my outlook on my cheeks. I always assumed it would be a negative :-) I'll try and not worry about them from now onwards.

okay, so I have to say... I have this SAME problem! Yours is so not bad compared to mine! I absolutely hate it though. A few of my past boyfriends have said that they love it though... and they love seeing me blush! They love that they can MAKE me blush! I guess I wouldn't worry about it too much. I definitely feel your pain though. Trust me though, yours isn't bad at all! If you were going to wear makeup (which I definitely don't think you need to) go with bare essentials powder makeup... it looks like you aren't wearing makeup at all! I use it on my face when I'm going out drinking... my cheeks get SO red. People in grade school used to call me tomato face. yeah, I feel your pain buddy. cream makeups have a tenancy to be difficult to work with depending on how dry your face is... they also dry and get all crackly so you can tell that you have it on. It does work better, but from a distance... not up close. I hope that helps! You'll find someone that will love your pink cheeks! Don't let it get you down! :)

I personally don't think it's a big issue, in fact it looks kinda nice (it looks like you have a little blush here and there on them) it's not a big problem, besides girls like it when some guys blush, hahah ( I think that's only me) though if it does bother you (meaning if you actually feel your face hot and turning pink) I'd suggest you to wear a little make-up mineral powder not concealer (just my preference) and that's it just to be on the safe side, if that makes you more confident and comfortable.

u look fine! if you really want to change them though, try researching into skincare there's a lot of good creams out there for improving skintone and appearance...check sephora! jack black has a good mens skincare line with like after shave lotions and toners...or if you want to go cheaper in drugstore use a cream for rosaceia or jojoba oil and cocobutter I think palmers has a good skin evening cream

It ain't so bad. You just look like a good-lookin guy who's either very cold or very embarassed. If it bothers ya that much, just get yourself a sunburn and it will all blend in.

Don't do anything about them, I think they look really nice, actually. It gives your face character.

I'd say... don't wear any concealer, because girls can tell when you do, and it just looks kinda weird. But then again, you can do whatever you want. (:

No I don't think they look too bad or that you need makeup. If anything a girl will think it's sweet that you get nervous around them (or that's what they'll assume if they're red when you're talking to them) and girls like...actually they WISH guys were more sensitive around them so they will think it's comforting in my opinion. You just need to learn to work with what you've got, be confident and you'dd do fine=)

Awww, I think they're adorable! They aren't that bad, but if they make you uncomfortable, girls can pick up on that. Concealer won't do much because the amount you'll need will look like your wearing foundation (which is weird on a guy lol)

Everyone has something they're insecure about; Our flaws make us interesting and unique.

Own it lol

They're cute. Definitely accept them as you. They don't take away from the fact that you're good looking.

Not off-putting at all! I think it's kind of cute. =]

a guy in my class has nearly permanent pink/red cheeks...they're always flushed; I've always though he was cute & I honestly don't notice it but every once in a while

Rosy cheeks are cute. Don't get rid of them, that's part of who you are. Rosy cheeks are endearing
