On a scale of 1-10 how muh effort do you put into your looks?

Question

I have some friends who are just naturally pretty as hell. They just wake up flawless. Honestly it makes me super jealous because I put a lot of effort into my looks but people tell me I look average. One time one of my classmates decided to rate me despite me telling him not to and he literally said "You're just a 5, but that's because you don't try to look nice" I don't think people realize how much effort I put into being a "5". I usually keep my hair braided which at the least takes 3 hours and at the most 7 hours. I watch my weight like a hawk. I struggle with make up but I still try anyway. I have a strict skin care routine. I had braces for years to get a perfect smile. I take forever picking out outfits. I literally put so much effort into everything except my finger nails. (I don't know why but nail polish makes my fingers feel weird). So are you one of those lucky natural beauties or does it take a lot of time and effort?

I don't like to wear makeup because I don't want to get acne and I have oily skin but on some occasions when i'm feeling myself I wear mascara and translucent powder. However I do try to fix my hair considering I have super super curly hair and that's about it I use a skin routine every morning and I have braces as well 'cause you know i'm trying to get that perfect smile. So I'd say that's about a 3 to 4 because I really just do everything last minute to get ready and I genuinely just don't care. If someone wishes to tell me that I look like a 5 then so be it because I'm worry about excelling not dating.

Not that much effort. If I look clean and taken care off then I'm okay. Only thing I take a bit of effort in is my make-up, which I do in 5 minutes and I shower, brush my hair and often wear simple but decent clothing. I don't really think of my outfits though. Sometimes I just go to school in jogging pants I just slepts the night before in (student life). I do watch my weight a bit, but more as in don't eat too much and you'll be fine. Why do your looks really matter? So that one guy on school might like you? Just look clean and have a good attitude and you'll look fine.

I swear we are twins!! I can relate to everything you said. I'm a very insecure person. I'm so jealous of practically all my friends that can naturally wake up and spend little to no time getting ready yet look flawless and have guys falling at their feet. Meanwhile I spend hours of time and energy (not to mention a bunch of money) on my looks/weight/appearance yet rarely get compliments or noticed by guys. I'll never understand it.

Probably a 5. I don't wear make up, just moisturiser. I only brush my hair and pin it back for work in the car. I paint my toe nails and get eyelash extensions which is my "luxury" thing for myself every few weeks.

Sorry - why does it take 3-7 hours to braid your hair? Do you mean like box braids or cornrows?

If we take working out out of the equation then I'd say that in general, I'm in the 4ish range. I normally just get out the shower, towel dry my hair, put on some clothes and cologne and I'm good-to-go.

However, if I'm going out for a night on the town then I put in a lot more effort such as shaving, ironing my clothes, styling my hair, etc.

Well:
- I shave/get rid of body hair
- pluck my eyebrows as an extension
- use body scrub
- wash my hair often
- brush my teeth heaps
... oh wait, that's what most people do.

I don't *actually* make that much of an effort, I don't diet or have a gym routine or do anything that requires any sort of commitment so... I'd say 3-4.

It really depends on the day. If I need to go to the bakery on Sunday morning, I really don't give a crap, my effort is like -10. If I go to class, and I know I'm gonna see a guy I have the hots for, my effort will be like 12. On average, I think it#s around a 7 though.

Like a 2? I do a little exercise, enough that I don't consider myself awfully unfit, but in terms of make up the only thing I know how to do is put on lipstick and even then, I have no idea what colour suits me so I'll wear it like once a month if I feel super confident, that's about it. I don't have a skincare routine other than washing my face, and in terms of styling, the most I do to my hair is wash, dry and brush it (though I do dip dye it unnatural colours too for fun).

I put 6-7, mainly because I spend a fair bit of time on my makeup. I don't leave the house unless my eyeliner is on point (lol), and my hair is nice and I'm smelling pretty. That being said, I don't do that every day, only if I'm going out clubbing or to a formal dinner or something.

Most days I'm a 2-3, chuck some BB cream on and some mascara and I'm good to go :)

I voted for A - 1 - 2 ( little to no effort) : once I'm finally awake. I will take a shower, brush my teeth, wash my face with soap, brush and comb my hair, and put on whatever shirt or pants I grab first. I'm very lazy I don't really care about putting effort into my look.

PizzaPrincess · Answer

Not much. I never wear makeup and my parents couldn't afford to get me braces, the most I do with my hair is a ponytail. I don't buy anything for my skin and I just throw on a shirt and jeans. I'm trying to lose weight now but I never did anything about it before.

SamtheDnDgirl · Answer

Day to day, I wear very little make-up, just a touch to accentuate, but I do brush my hair and keep it neat and tidy as much as I can. Also I shampoo and condition my hair often, but not too often. I run and swim a lot to stay in shape and I keep myself hairless on my body.

Constantly wash my face, full makeup routine with foundation mascara lips and eyebrows. I'm lazy with my hair, I just brush it and it goes into a soft wave and I leave it like that. I focus a lot of time on outfits. I just wish I could forever have a clear face and no red marks ugh

To be completely honest, I don't do much of anything. I have school so I get ready the night before. So I'll like pick out out an outfit at night and change into it so I have more time in my bed. Then I brush my teeth, and all that other hygienic things. A majority of the time I don't even do my hair in the morning. I never workout, I don't eat healthy. Good thing I'm naturally skinny. Unlike Eugenia Cooney. Sorry, I had an opportunity and I took it.

I focus more on my sense of style than wearing makeup consistently. So it's about 50/50 most days. It's not that I don't enjoy makeup, I love it! It's just that I work most days of the week & I choose to sleep-in over dolling myself up.

Waking up flawless isn't a thing. Waking up flawless in the eyes of someone who will see you as flawless even with bed hair, eyelid sleep crust and morning breath is a thing.

LittleLila · Answer

When it comes to my physique, at the gym I put in max effort.  Makeup wise, I've never worn much of it. Even on special occasions it's bear minimum.

PrincessPanda · Answer

Literally just give my hair a shake and flip it, put some concealer under my eyes, and put some eyeliner on. Then grab some comfy clothes and I'm off. Takes me less than 15 minutes to get ready

mike5150 · Answer

Around a 5. I used to care more when I was younger, but I also had a lot of self esteem issues. Now I feel more confident in myself, I know who I am and I feel content with my appearance.

rgb008 · Answer

Like an 8.  Unless I'm going somewhere fancy, like my BF's military ball. Then I go all out for that haha. Not every day you get to dress up like that!

Sholax · Answer

Compared to some guys I know, I put in a lot of effort. Compared to some girls I know, my morning routine is pathetic.
