Do women just effortlessly pick up on the skill of applying makeup?

[ChicoFromThe305]

So I was thinking of that small percentage of women that don't use or don't know how to apply makeup and I just realized this is actually quite uncommon within women, do women just pick up on it subconsciously or something? Also do women gossip about the ones that don't know? Cause I've only met a handful of the bunch that don't wear it, don't know how to apply it and don't care lol

If you don't know, say so, I kinda wanna see how many there is.

Guys if you've met any, how many? 🤔

[Little_Bumblebee]

I'm one of those who don't use it daily. And I'm not a genius at applying it when I do use it either.
My childhood friend uses it every day. And my current best friend uses it every day as well, just a lot different when it comes to style as she's a goth chick that more makes art with her make-up than actual "make-up"

Anyway.
A lot of women practice using it, with different techniques and such. They watch YouTube tutorials as well. And a lot started in their young teen years when they started small and simple.

I've never been in a circle of friends who gossiped about that kind of thing.

[electromagnetic]

Sadly nope. As far as I can make it, fill my brows, basic under eye concealer, eyeliner, mascara and a lip balm. I know absolutely Jack shit about applying foundation, blush, highlights. Don’t even get me started on contour. Tried it once and it looked like I smear dirt in my face.

It’s a talent to master

[ChicoFromThe305]

Really, I thought women were just born with it lol

[WhiteSteve]

I’ve seen that there are YouTubers out there who teach this stuff. I’m glad I’m a dude, looks like heavy work to have to do most days. Shaving everyday is annoying enough, lmao

[ProbablyClueless]

Effortlessly? Not at all. They do a lot of work developing those skills. A lot of women put makeup on every day.

[ChicoFromThe305]

So you are telling me at some point every woman has gone out with makeup applied incorrectly?

[ProbablyClueless]

Yup. And sometimes it just happens because they're experimenting with a new technique or product. It takes time to know what will and won't work. A technique that works for one woman's skin tone and facial structure won't work on another's. The mistakes happen more often when they're younger, but they happen throughout life.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Never seen such a thing

[ProbablyClueless]

I'm sure you probably have and just didn't notice it 🤷‍♂️

[ChicoFromThe305]

I'm sure it notice it 😂

[ProbablyClueless]

Could be. Most guys are totally oblivious to it and only notice makeup when it's super caked on.

[Apple1996]

Nah it requires some learning and skill

[LazerBean]

I think it's definitely not effortless, and a lot of women who regularly wear makeup are downright bad at it in my opinion. But the ones that are good put a ton of time into getting that way.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Really? Most women suck at It?

[LazerBean]

It usually looks good online but irl yeah it very often looks cakey.

[ChicoFromThe305]

I didn't know that, oof 🙃

[midnightmoon05]

Not at all. I am clueless and refuse to bother learning how to deal with makeup.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Well to be fair if I'm not mistaken I think you said you were Chinese right? If so it seems that many Asians actually have good skin, why cover that up with makeup ha

[midnightmoon05]

Exactly!!
Actually…I have seen women in makeup … heavy makeup daily… you truly have no clue what they look like without…
It’s like they are not who they are…once makeup is off.
So many beautiful women who do not need makeup… because of their low self worth.. they buy into the illusion that they look better wearing makeup. They also buy into the commercials… regarding these products.

[ChicoFromThe305]

I know, I've noticed and it's a shame 🙃

[Minahh]

No, it's long hours of practice to have really flawless makeup, trying out different formulas and getting to know what's best for you etc.

[ChicoFromThe305]

So what's the difference lol

[Anonymous]

I used to not wear any makeup at all. But I wear lipstick now.

I think it's a learned skill. Women take hours to do their makeup everyday. I have a cousin that wakes up at 5AM just to do her makeup. She once said, she would never leave the house without makeup.

[Lisia]

Yeah I woke up one day and I knew how to do it.. I think I learned it subconsciously by watching other people

[TiaNour]

I don’t rlly use makeup, but it’s been a thing I just knew how to do

[ChicoFromThe305]

Doesn't really seem like you need it, I wish my skills in math were as naturally given like your makeup skills were.

[TiaNour]

Lemme teach you

[ChicoFromThe305]

Good luck with that 😂

[TiaNour]

I taught worse

[ChicoFromThe305]

So now you are a teacher too? You are just full of surprises mightymouse

[TiaNour]

A TEACHER IS THE LAST THING ILL BE

[ChicoFromThe305]

Lmao I can't imagine such a thing, only in a parallel universe

[TiaNour]

You should become one

[ChicoFromThe305]

I've heard enough teachers complain about the kids and their pay to know that is a terrible idea Tia ☻

[TiaNour]

Yeah but these teachers are old asf

[ChicoFromThe305]

Exactly, I'm still young, I don't wanna be tired of kids before I even have them 😂

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I don't really care how to apply makeup, I rarely wear it.

[4ngelic]

nope takes a long time of trial and error or a lot of research/time/effort if you dont want an ackward makeup stage. for me took maybe 2 years to be able to figure out completely how do make stuff look good quickly

[NathanDavis]

definitely a learning curve... lmao

I would know

[7Phoenix7]

I don't know how to put on makeup... haha

[ChicoFromThe305]

Foreal? That's quite uncommon lol

[7Phoenix7]

Yea, I was never really interested in learning how to. Too much work, haha

[WhiteSteve]

Totally unnecessary in this man’s opinion. Well…. maybe on the hands🧟‍♀️😱

[7Phoenix7]

@WhiteSteve shut up lol

[WhiteSteve]

Fix your face, you want this extra one or not?🙄

https://ibb.co/rykzX9n

[7Phoenix7]

@WhiteSteve 🤤 yea

[WhiteSteve]

Ok then. Talking reckless at me like I couldn’t make a mean loaded twice-baked potato on the side….😒 Roasted garlic mashed potatoes if that’s more your speed, I’m just sayin’…

[7Phoenix7]

@WhiteSteve lmao make me a plate right now. You know I'm hungry...

[WhiteSteve]

Hmmm…. takes 45 minutes just to roast the garlic. Gonna need an appetizer. Prosciutto-wrapped asparagus spears?🤔

[WhiteSteve]

Thinking some bourbon may be in order too…🥃🥃

[7Phoenix7]

@WhiteSteve yep you know what you're doin 👌 cheers 🥃🥃

Are you a comedian or a chef?

[LaurenM1997]

I can’t do make up someone else gotta do it for me if I do it I just look awful

[Miah04]

Nope. I watched tutorials and my momma showed me things

[RedInnocent68]

No. Some aren’t very good.

[laly520]

nope
it takes time to learn such skill

[Becky316]

With me it was practice, lots of practice
