Girls.. how insecure are you without makeup?

Question

PancakeSenpai · Accepted Answer

I still have fragments of my middle/high school emo phase so it's hard for me to ditch wearing heavy wing-liner everyday 😅 Buuuuut, this whole current semester of college I've been only putting a tiny bit of foundation, lightly filling my brows, mascara to lengthen and bolden my lashes, and then clear lipgloss. It feels more natural even though its still some makeup and I notice people compliment me more. I admit that sometimes it makss me feel maked and ugly af (more than I alrdy am haha), but I also just feel free and "normal/casual." Faceload everyday is unnecessary and can actually fuck up your skin. Putting on lipstick or eyeliner every now and then is fine; just not daily. You can't wear makeup to the gym, or in the summer that much. Idrk how girls spend $$$ on all these products that dont melt, but its not rlly worth it. Try to love yourself without it if you have the mindset that you can't leave the house without it *at all* or "need" a full face.

As I’ve gotten older, I’m running out of fucks to give honestly. As you mature & grow as a person, you just stop caring so much about impressing other people.

For me personally though, I stopped obsessing about others’ opinions when I decided my happiness is my life’s purpose. So if something doesn’t bring me joy, it’s not worth even thinking about. So me putting myself as #1 priority, that developed into a lot of self-love & confidence.

I still experience insecurities, but nowhere near as badly as when I cared what others think. It’s easier to just write them off as an asshole when they call me ugly or fat or whatever. I learned that’s mostly just them projecting their own self-esteem issues onto me.

The only makeup that I wear on a daily basis is my lipbalm and my lipgloss (sometimes) otherwise honestly nothing. I prefer going the all natural look cause.. well I like it that way. As long as I have good skin and am healthy and happy it's alright. I do wear make up but that would probably be only to occasions wear I would like to highlight my features such as maybe a charity ball or an auction. But otherwise I'm very very comfortable wearing nothing on my face and leaving the house with my head held high.

Left is the porn world & the right side is the reality.

If Porn world never existed, I would never look at women so differently in reality. This is why I love porn better then reality actually but it sickening because in reality women hide to look like a pornstars to get men attention. All the girls you see in the club's are not the same as they appear next day for breakfast..

Buckzor · Accepted Answer

I don't even want to imagine how different society would be, and how societal views would differ if make-up had never been invented.

I don't like makeup in general, too much is yuck, and it changes a persons entire look (Yes, i'll admit well done makeup will HIGHLIGHT features and make people more attractive, but when it's overdone or sloppy it just looks eh IMO)

ChronicThinker · Answer

I don't fucking care, I'm not yours so what do I care if you think I'm hot either way?

VaIiant · Answer

I personally love how I look either way. Yeah, I genuinely look more attractive with my full eyelashes and my dark circles covered up. But I don’t wear much daily anyway (mascara and concealer) so it’s not a very big deal for me to not wear it. I touch my face a lot, I don’t want orangey creamy stuff coming off constantly.

hannahlyne7 · Answer

depends on what my skin is looking like at the moment. I have relatively clear skin but if I've just had a small breakout or something i may feel slightly uncomfortable. All in all i dont really mind going without makeup my biggest issue is that my face is so much lighter than the rest of my body just naturally so i feel like im looking like a ghost sometimes hahaha

Girly1710 · Answer

I used to wear a minimal amount everyday but I stopped wearing makeup 2.5 years ago. I'll put on a little for big events like weddings or professional conferences but I feel totally fine without it. Plus I can rub my eyes or rest my face on things without smudging anything. It's freeing.

Even when my acne was bad I didn't wear makeup because it would've irritated my skin more and probably been obvious that I was trying to hide it anyway so why not just let it be?

And honestly, my eyes are my best feature and when I'm wearing no makeup they're almost prettier because you can tell they're pretty without needing any help so I like letting that show

evm987 · Answer

I'm totally comfortable without makeup... I rarely ever wear it haha
Honestly, there's no reason society should expect girls to wear makeup all the time when guys don't wear it. Like, what the heck? What kind of social construct is that? Why do we tell girls they need makeup to be presentable and tell guys that they're perfect just the way they are? Nope. I reject that. I occasionally wear makeup for special occasions, but that's like... once every couple of months.
Oops... sorry for the rant :P I just hate that this question even has to be a question in our world.

Melodie_Flowers · Answer

I never wear much makeup other than a tinted face moisturizor, and a bit of mascara / eyeliner. I don't go nearly this drastic like the girl in the photo!! As nice as the makeup is, I think it becomes more like a mask in my opinion and hides her pretty natural face with a false facade.

I prefer to keep things natural! When I go out I may wear a tinted lipgloss or perhaps some blush, but other than that I'm good just with my own appearance.

vishna · Answer

Nikki started out with no eyebrows, no lashes, and blotchy red skin. Not all women undergo such changes when we apply makeup... and it doesn't matter anyway... only execution matters (aka how well it's applied)

I go natural all the time. Rarely these days do I wear foundation ( the thing I think helps my face the most) unless I'm going out for a date.

pingiluv · Answer

I haven’t worn enough makeup to look completely different without it. I stick to simple things like eyeliner, eyeshadow and maybe a lip color. I’m not using false eyelashes or contour that I don’t look like myself at all. Lol like the woman you put she has worn so much fake eyelashes that she barely has her own now, so she does look very different

shan_shan · Answer

I only wear makeup when am going out to certain occasions like weddings, birthdays, parties. Otherwise no makeup and am comfortable like that because i don't like the heaviness of the makeup on my face maybe a light lipstick can survive for a day without washing it off 30 mins after

Anonymous · Answer

As long as I have my eyelash extensions. I’m most self conscious about my natural lashes, so if I didn’t have extensions I would feel extremely uncomfortable.

With them; I will go out completely confident and bareskinned. I am lucky to have great skin, and I like my lips as they are.

SodaCheeks · Answer

I'm not ^^ I just think I look better with it then without. So when I have something important and I need to make a good first impression I'd defenitly wear some. However if I know you a little better, don't be suprized to see me without :p In the end, no make-up is better for your skin, so I'd rather wear none

PeekABooItsMe · Answer

That's NikkieTutorials!!!

Gorgeous with and without makeup! But i can go without it a full day unless i'm with my boyfriend cause i just feel ugly without it with him... in the morning i'm fine to not wear it, but ad the day goes on, because i have oily skin, i put it on which helps with the oils. Xx

Rainie_ · Answer

Rarely even wear it these days. I used to be pretty insecure about not having makeup on until I got together with my current boyfriend and now I couldn’t care less about makeup and he says he prefers it off anyway.
But makeup does still give me an esteem boost because I think it makes me look better, even tho I’m confident without it now.

hamtaro · Answer

Not at all. I wasn't allowed to wear make up in middle school and even high school, so I never really got into it. I've only started filling in my brows and wearing lip tint, but I don't wear make up on most days, so I'm more or less used to my usual bare face.

TisforTori · Answer

I never learned to do my make up fancy. I barely wear it not because I think I’m gorgeous without but on my job it’s not necessary. It’s better for my skin not to. And then when I do put mascara and lip color on people are like damn you’re not a rags muffin today! I’m comfortable with my face as is most days but of course we all have times of low self esteem

JustAnotherSoul · Answer

I don't usually wear makeup... The only think I do is filling up my brows... They are very light in color and I don't really like how I look with them bare... I'm not really insecure about it... But I can say I feel more attractive and confident confident confident when u have them done... I had a period in high school when I was more insecure about it and I use to do them duble the thickness they actually had🤣

Rosalie28 · Answer

Not insecure at all, I love my makeup cuz I love looking good, dressing up and some people say taking care of yourself. I like trying new looks and products. But I also don't feel insecure at all with out it, I would not wear heavy makeup for work maybe face powder and lipstick. When I'm going on little errands or just for a drive I will not wear any at all but if I'm going out to lime that's when I'll dress up and wear it full force lol (pretty up).

Genie23 · Answer

Not insecure at all. I don't wear makeup very often. But when I do sometimes, I wear very little makeup. Just a liner, lipstick and use cc+ cream. That's it.

I like to let my skin breathe most of the time, and also if I wear too heavy makeup very often, I get breakouts. So, I usually prefer to be without makeup.

aconfusedgirlie · Answer

I’m slightly insecure without makeup if I have a breakout especially. I’ll wear light makeup to school everyday (cc cream, powder, mascara, fill in brows). If I’m just running to the store on the weekend I’ll wear a light coat of mascara fill in my brows and maybe some powder just so I feel a little better. So I guess I’m insecure without makeup, yes.

Wafflesareamazballs · Answer

For me it depends. If my face isn’t getting with the program and it’s all broken out I’m gonna be a little insecure. 🤷🏻‍♀️ When it’s in good condition meaning minimal breakouts I won’t wear makeup and just let my face breathe. I personally take pride in my appearance and always want to look my best for myself. (:

InsideBeauty · Answer

I almost never feel insecure without make up, (I only use sometimes powder and/or counselor for acne, or something else when I want) unless if I didn't slept well or have acne. I think Its ok to wear make up, after all is kinda like an art, but not all the time, not too much. I think every girl should feel good the way they are naturally, and that man should like them just how they are. :)

marijajr · Answer

I have makeup on my face every day. But just because I like to try new stuff, new style or something. I love to look good, like we all do. But yesterday I went out to buy something and my hair was in a mess, I had old clothes on and didn't have any makeup. I felt weird but not insecure

BrooklynParker · Answer

I would say I'm not too insecure without makeup but that's because I've never worn makeup a day in my life. I am very blessed to not have acne and that may be part of it. I do struggle with the way I look but I don't find myself extremely ugly. I would honestly rate my looks a 6/10.

Kai02 · Answer

Im not really that insecure without it anymore, but im definitely more confident with it on. Not because i look better but honestly i see makeup as an art;that craps hard to put on sometimes! So when i do put it on good im just really proud of myself and my work.

Halligan · Answer

I rarely wear makeup. I have rosecia, so my face is constantly red or purple. I have psoriasis and eczema breakouts. I only wear makeup on dates or for professional photos. I wore the most for my wedding...

Astria · Answer

I wear makeup but I'm fine without it as well. I will go out and run errands without it on and I definitely don't wear it while doing strenously activites.

Anonymous · Answer

I'm not going to lie I'm pretty insecure without makeup. I couldn't go out with out drawing on my eyebrows or putting on mascara and concealer. I could go out without any foundation or lip products on but definitely not my eyebrows mascara or concealer

spooky_skeletor · Answer

makeup's so expensive lmao and it takes a shitton of time to apply it's so much easier and feels so much nicer to just go without makeup

Anonymous · Answer

The same. I have the chance to have a clear skin and long lashes so it helps a lot. But I think that if I had a bad skin I would feel bad without foundation but I don't know bc I don’t mind if people wear or don’t wear makeup, regardless of their skin and so on. I think we look better when we’re natural.

Izumiblu · Answer

Not insecure. A little powder some lipstick I’m done 90% of the time. Less than five minutes.  I’ll often go out without makeup.

Pizzaqueen89 · Answer

I am completely comfortable being in public without make up etc but I usually like putting it on because it is fun for me

The_FallenOne · Answer

I don't give a fuck. An example of me with and without makeup.

TransBeauty96 · Answer

I can't leave the house without it and if I do I'm only in a taxi so no one sees me. I have a nice complexion naturally, but I prefer to be doll faced when people look my way.

AaceN · Answer

I never wear makeup. In fact, I feel ugly when my sister has put makeup on me for "special must-have makeup" occasions. It makes me feel like a doll being toyed with. It's not who I really am.

bubble_tea · Answer

Depends on the time of year or the situation. I'm less insecure in summer than in winter, because I get a nicer complexion. I'd feel way more insecure without makeup dancing in the club than hiking in the woods.

_QueenOfTheDank_ · Answer

I don't wear makeup, I have nothing to hide and I love myself.

girlinthemiddle · Answer

I feel insecure with makeup on me lol. I love my au naturale beauty. I feel like I look fake with it on, so I make sure I keep my face clear of any "beauty enhancers" or unnatural-looking colors (unless it is red lipstick).

20ash69 · Answer

Very!!! I'm 20 and just now getting to the place I'll go to like the gym without makeup :) my biggest thing was growing up I had very bad acne !!! But you shouldn't be insecure everyone is beautiful in their own way !

snowangle · Answer

Fairly, haha. Because when I have makeup on, I look like I'm put-together, and when I don't, I look like a sea slug. 😂

My oily skin will keep me looking young when I'm old, but in the meantime it does not do me any favors!

justria · Answer

I'm not insecure, per se. I feel like a winged liner just gives me a boost of confidence and I feel more beautiful with it on. Sometimes I go for mascara alone when I don't need that extra push but it still makes one feel nice.

PrivateGurl1234 · Answer

When I am at home I couldn’t care less who sees me but when I was in a relationship or go out and I’m at work or shopping I never leave the house without it because people will look at me as if I’m hideous!

WildButterfly · Answer

I only wear makeup when I went on my prom and graduation (high school and college). Maybe a wedding here, another special occasion there. I don't condemn girls who wear it on a regular basis though. I wear lipsticks all the time sooo

jaymeein · Answer

i'm not insecure without makeup because i never really got into the habit of wearing it. i'll start wearing on a regular basis when i get out of school and get a job, since that's the professional thing to do.

Meninist · Answer

Really surprising that most of, if not a lot, of girls say they’re not insecure. Most women I know in real life won’t leave the house without some sort of make up on, hardly any girls leave the house with their natural look going on.

ghostqueen · Answer

I'm not at all. I might look better with makeup if done by the right person, but the fact is it's uncomfortable af and I suck at it so I'm perfectly fine without it.

Fbdjd · Answer

I used to be rlly insecure but now I’m fine cuz my skin cleared up, I usually just fill in my brows a little and use some mascara & concealer if I’m tired. Not all girls without makeup look like the one in the pic😂

NessyTheMonster · Answer

I'm not at all, I'm actually more insecure with make up on.
I'm just too lazy to put on make up every day, so I just live without it. But when I do put my make up on I'm afraid it doesn't suit me or that I put too much of it on.

deadcactus · Answer

I'm not that bad, i can easily go outside with no makeup however I must admit makeup makes me feel more mature and more beautiful however i can live without it.

splashofyellow · Answer

As long as my eyebrows are visible I'm okay. I do think I look way better with makeup but as long as I don't have to see myself, I won't remember how gross I look.

bente2 · Answer

I’m a little insecure. I won’t leave the house without at least colouring my eyebrows the tiniest bit and applying a gel on eyebrows & lashes. Other than that I’m totally okay with no make-up.

BeautifullyCurious · Answer

Depending on the state of my face at the time.. 😂😂 sounds odd.. I mean like if it's full of marks and pimples.. Then full face of make up just to go get milk or bread.. 😂😂

Doumdou · Answer

I have to say, I love my makeup and love to take my time doing it but I am not insecure if I don't wear any.  I easily go out without if I don't feel like it.

khaleesijade · Answer

Not really insecure. I prefer how I look with my makeup done, but I'm perfectly happy to go out with no make up, bad skin, greasy hair tied up and in a tracksuit. Personally I think people put too much concern into how they look. Nothing wrong with looking good etc but when it gets to a point that you feel like you have to wear makeup to be able to leave the house.. I don't agree with that x

JulieXO · Answer

I definitely feel less comfortable. I know I look much better with makeup on, so I’d rather put in the effort in the morning and feel good during the day.

Maggie20199 · Answer

sometimes I feel insecure without it when my skin isn’t looking so good or I have to present ( because my face turns red & foundation covers that ). the only reason I started wearing it in the first place was because every girl at my school wears it and also I have nothing else to do in the morning before school lol

MsLoli · Answer

About 3 months ago, I would've said not very, but recent developments have changed that and I am now pretty damn insecure about my looks without a good layer of fake beauty goo on.

undercoverirish · Answer

Fairly insecure however I don’t go for the fully made up look that’s in the pic. I wear some concealer, sometimes I’ll wear foundation. However I’m never without my lashes!!

zaza111 · Answer

Not at all, since I never wear makeup that would make me look completely different person. I can go out without makeup, no problem.

Anonymous · Answer

I don't reconstruct my entire face with a bunch of make up. I don't mind those who do. It's an art really. But in personally just use it to highlight the features I already have. I can go without make up just fine lol.

xxRedRosexx · Answer

Considerably. I almost always wear mascara, and lip gloss (if not, at least chap stick) I'm trying to work on it, though. :)
