If a woman wears no makeup, is she more confident than a woman that wears too much makeup?

Not exactly. Just partially.

i believe there’s 2 types of people that don’t wear makeup

1. the type that doesn’t take care of their appearance usually tends to look unattractive because they put zero effort into how they look.

2. the type that does care about their appearance and takes care of themselves, looks nice and presentable mostly all the time and wears very minimal makeup and gets away with looking like they are wearin no makeup.

the second description usually can have more confidence than someone who cannot even step outside without s ton of makeup because they don’t like how they look and usually they do look rather unattractive without all the gunk.

but then there are also the very small percent of women who are actually naturally beautiful and still wear a ton of makeup.. maybe bit because they insecure per say but rather because they live to wear makeup and experiment most likely makeup artists but not necessarily..

so there’s no definite yes or no answer to this question it’s just partially depending on the specific people you’re comparing.

I wear makeup. Usually my routine is moisturizer, sunscreen, brow pencil, and lip balm. Sometimes I will put some lipstick or tinted lip balm on.

For an evening look, I add sheer foundation, a touch of blush, a small amount of neutral eyeshadow and hint of eyeliner, and a dab of lipstick. I take mascara and brush it on, rinse the brush and brush it again, so that it is very subtle and not cakey (I learned it from a book Carmindy wrote). The key is to make your makeup soft and subtle to accent and highlight natural features, not hide them or create something unnatural (i. e., cat eyes or blue eye shadow). I also add a minuscule amount of Maroma Night Jasmine perfume, it smells so nice!

As for why I do it, I like to. It's fun. I feel like it's something I do for myself that's inexpensive and makes me feel put together, like a pair of heels or a cute hat. When you're a mom, it's easier to not do anything. It's my way of showing that I take care of myself, and I make it a priority even when I don't feel like it. Just my two cents...

It can and often is the same person.

a couple of ex’s would not wear make up for morning run, gym and then for work were only allowed bare minimum, which was pretty much make up free. Then in the evening we would often go to goth type events, or to similar type pubs or to theatre etc, for all of that they would have a ton of make up on.
same person, same body,

It can also be a bit of a confidence boost when a person is down, just to put on some make up, different colours when feeling down.

Not usually. I think some women who don’t wear make-up simply gave up caring or trying years ago. Yet others who wear make up can range anywhere from trying to conceal some insecurities (lacking confidence) to the other side of the spectrum where they are simply gorgeous and know their make up only makes it more so (highly confident.)

Oh, that's quite the thought-provoking topic! 😊 Wearing makeup or not really boils down to personal preferences and how each person feels their best. Some might feel confident rocking their natural beauty, while others might feel that same surge of self-assurance with a full glam look. Confidence isn't a one-size-fits-all thing; it comes from how comfortable and true to themselves someone feels. So whether it’s a swipe of mascara or a bare face, it's all about what makes you feel fabulous. What do you think makes someone shine with confidence?✨

I barely wear makeup so idc. I can leave the house with a bare face on. It doesn’t make a difference to me.

[dolemite58]

It makes a difference to the people that have to look at u tho 😳

[Pinay_ako]

@dolemite58 oh I still dgaf

[ZamerZ]

@dolemite58 people also have to look at your mug everyday. Do you think about how to make your face more pleasant for them, too?

[handsomelad70]

Yes, because she realizes she's naturally beautiful, but I think a woman looks even better with some but certainly NOT excessive makeup.

[Selena1987]

It’s also difficult for me to wear make up
I leave house usually with no make up too

[laly520]

depends on woman we r talking about

[DishLady]

I tend to reference makeup as “war paint” in certain discussions because the precise purpose of the look (let’s say in a set or a runway) is to look more fierce and confident under the grueling lighting of the stage/etc.


In several cultures soldiers wore masks with threatening expressions on them to hide their possible fear/age/etc…. In sports many fans will be in the stands wearing their team’s colors painted on their faces to intimidate the opponent…. You get the idea.



But in daily life I think it takes more courage for a woman (“the vulnerable sex”) to head out of the house and into the world barefaced and proud of who she is — a soldier without the fake mask, chin up and ready to face whatever the world is gonna fling at her.

Yes of course. If she does not wear any makeup (or just mascara) no foundation ecc.. it means she is self-aware and feels good in her own skin. On the other hand, if she does wear tons of makeup everyday it means she feels insecure and afraid people don't like the "rea her". A girl having no makeup is the best because you can see she is beautiful and does not "lie to you" plus can you imagine her with a black smokey eyes and dress? If she wears it everyday is not the same effect ;)

[AmyHew1tt]

The answer is different from woman to woman. I never wear any make-up at all. It has nothing to do with confidence. My skin is sensitive, my lifestyle doesn't support it, and I'm already insecure about enough aspects of my body, so I chose not to wear it mostly because I want to accept my face for what it is. Even if that means I get put at the bottom of the food chain🤷‍♀️

[thegreenyogi]

I am a woman that doesn't wear make up in her everyday life and as for me the reason I don't is because I feel good in my own skin and I'm confident enough without. But it doesn't always boil down to insecurities. For many women it's a ritual and for others like myself Sun screen lotion is what foundation is for others.

[dustybiker2]

Eh. Depends. Every woman is going to have her own idea of how she holds herself. Some woman with a lot of make-up just like a lot of make up and feel good about wearing it.

[Jacobbbb]

Overwearing makeup is the opposite of confidence. It's like anything - good in moderation, but never overdone. No makeup shows confidence to me.

[jshm2]

Confidence is little to do with it.

Some women look better without makeup than wearing bad makeup. But all skin needs a "day off" once in a while.

[wiltingrosepetal]

Some are too lazy to bother with make-up and simply never learned to apply it well so they look like a clown when they attempt it.

I am some

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Either she's lazy, bad at makeup, confident or my personal favorite, just couldn't be bothered to give two shits.

[petitedollbabee]

Depends on the woman. I don’t wear makeup, but that’s just down to laziness and finances, not confidence.

[snowboarder720]

I definitely think so! I honestly love it when a woman doesn’t wear makeup. Maybe a little eye makeup but that’s it.

[Anonymous]

I don’t usually wear makeup. I don’t think my confidence has anything to do with it, but rather how much time it takes for me to apply it. I’d rather spend that extra time in the morning sleeping in lol.

[CrabCakes11]

Wearing heavy makeup is often a sign of insecurity, but wearing no makeup isn’t necessarily a sign of feeling secure

[noemiii]

Depends on the woman, but most of the time, no.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I wouldn't know. But only thing I've been wearing on the daily is face lotion and lip balm.

[itsclearlynicholas]

I think it says the woman cares little for their appearance. That said, natural beauty is rarer so maybe if she's naturally Hot, no foundation or lipstick or mascara or eyeliner need apply lol 😆

[itsclearlynicholas]

Some hot women may still like to be feminine or feel extra by "wearing light eyeliner" or lipgloss or similar lightly - chapped lips lol if they dry out lol 😆

[Booklover_90]

To each her own. I don’t judge. Personally, make up is too much of a hassle for me. I only wear it for special occasions. Otherwise, I walk around bare faced. 😊

[TommyMountainFigure]

Possibly, but it could also be because she doesn't like wearing make up!
