+1 yI think it's fine to get dolled up for special occasions or most days in a week, but EVERY day seems a bit much. There's a lot of time, effort and money that goes into getting dolled up every day. If a girl feels the need to look perfect everyday without exception, there's probably some sort of underlying issues with her body image or maybe her character is quite superficial.
I wear makeup and do myself up nicely when I leave the house, but I'm also fine to have people I know see me without any makeup. When I used to wear makeup obsessively (ie. never let anyone but family see me without makeup), I avoided things like the beach or exercise with people because I didn't want them to see my natural face, which I thought looked terrible. Dolling myself up everyday left me feeling self-conscious about my natural looks. I realize now that I actually look lovely with or without makeup, and I wish all girls would realize that too. Makeup should just be used to enhance your natural features, but we need to love our natural faces too.10 Reply

I do make an effort most days, however I like the days where I can rub my eyes, or curl up in bed without creasing my clothes, all those sorts of thoughts. I think it's healthy to have days when you don't doll up.
But, if you don't do it at all, it looks like you have no pride. It can be fun to do it. Like a couple girls have said about looking like a different person, I want to expand. If you are putting so much on you are suffering bad skin problems, you really need to tone it down. I brush my skin over with some foundation to brighten it, I don't get many spots on my face. You shouldn't sit in front of the mirror, make up out, and dunk your face in it like a geisha.
To sum up.. take pride in your appearance, but not to the point it's a full time job with health problems. Unless your a model.00 Reply
+1 yI respect it but at times, it goes too far. It's too much when they look just as amazing Prom or Homecoming as they do in Algebra. (Using high school talk here).
I know this one girl, belle of the school, gorgeous every day. Junior year she joined the swim team, make-up gone, cute clothes gone, hair wet and straight. I couldn't believe what she looked like. You shouldn't put so much effort that you look like your walking down the red carpet every day of your life. You should put effort in your looks but not so much where your wearing as much make-up as Lady Gaga and as much surgery/spray tans/etc. as Madonna.00 Reply

+1 yI don't like it because I associate it with negative personality traits and thought processes. I steer clear.

I prefer the look of a girl who goes out dressed as casually as the occasion will let her get away with without looking like a total scrub. I think it says much more positive things about the person underneath the clothes.

sometimes I doll myself up, but mostly I try to keep it minimal.
if you do it EVERY day, you kind of trap yourself, it's like an addiction, at first you do it because it makes you feel extra pretty and nice, but after a while you can't feel beautiful or comfortable without it...you start to feel self conscious and ugly at the thought of leaving the house without a full face of make up and a pair of heels.
And then of course, if you get dolled up everyday people will come to think that that is who you are and think you look really weird without it...like a celebrity "no make up" mug shot...
...it's just better all around to keep it minimal.00 Reply
+1 yMy boyfriend hates it. I'm a make up junkie and he's like "why?! You're beautiful already. Make up is stupid". I agree with the girl who said that its fine but if you look like a completely different person with than without - its too far. I don't try to look gorgeous every day. Usually I'm too lazy to even do my hair, but on certain occasions I like to look nice and I see nothing wrong with that.
It's fine to me if girls like getting dolled up every day but it makes me wonder if they're insecure or not comfortable with themselves. A girl I work with looks like she's been run over with a truck without make up on and she does her make up before work and for another hour during her shift before she's ready. Makes me wonder if its "healthy" or not. If I'm being clear - which I'm probably not haha.00 Reply
Anonymous(30-35)+1 yI don't.
Sometimes, I like to get dressed up for no reason at all because I appreciate the beauty of fashion. Art is one of those forms of escapism and I love delving right into it; one of the branche of art is fashion.There's art everywhere, but the thing about fashion is that you are a walking piece of art. I think that's cool and I love doing that! :D
it's not the overused "Girls dress up for other girls. There's no possible way a girl dresses for herself" bullsh*t that people like to say and act like they know everything about every female.
It's not for guys because most of them are genuine disappointments. I dress up for me :)30 Reply
+1 yI envy it in a way- its fun to get super dolled up all the time- it makes you feel pretty!
I envy the amount of makeup that girl probably has or the ability to afford makeup to the point that you can afford to wear it every single day.
It also depends though. I think it should suit the situation. If you are just going to the library for class or to study, no need to have a full face of makeup on.00 Reply
Anonymous(30-35)+1 yi hate it because I feel like a slob for example
got up late way late so I threw on sweatpants and a t shirt ,shoes,no make up,hair tied back ,out the door to school I get into school my best friend is in a really nice sundress type thing with high heels nice hair do with make up on and matching jewelry it is like seriously it is high school!20 Reply
Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yI think guys probably like a balance. Some girls who look like a slob everyday won't get their attention but some who look like a slob one day a week and dress normal 3 days and then dress up one probably would because it'd always be something different to notice when they are all dolled up or dressed way down.
00 ReplyThey probably got something to hide, I like dolled-up girls but it's something for special occasions, if the girl is hiding her face everyday then it's fishy, and let's not even begin to talk what it does to the skin in the long run...

+1 yI respect it. I can't imagine having that much patience to get ready or buy so much make-up and hair products. 2 of my friends are beauticians.. and it sucks traveling with them or going out with them... they take FOREVER to get ready.

10 Reply They care about their appearances. They are self-discpline.
30 Replythat she places a lot of value on appearance. Or that she is insecure about her natural appearance. One of those
