I'm going to prom, but I don't wear makeup? Help?
So I never wear makeup even even though I've had acne for the past 5 years (which is finally going away). I just don't believe in wearing makeup because I don't like how I look when I take it off and because I feel like I deceived myself. And I just like believing that I'm beautiful inside and out. With that being said, yes, I'm going to prom this year. Makeup at prom is pretty standard. And... 1. I don't know how to use makeup 2. Should I go against my choice not to wear makeup? Personally I think that since this is a pretty special day that I should wear makeup, and that way I don't stand out in a weird way. But if I do wear makeup, I need to learn how to use it. So, if someone could maybe link down some really in depth instructions from YouTube for inexperienced people like me, that would be really nice. Also, just tell me your opinion on the situation. It would be really nice. Thank-you.
I don't know how to do make up. Where / how should I start?
Start on Youtube. There are so many tutorials giving you A-Z steps and teach you exactly what to do!I can give you some basic information here, and then you can go ahead and learn the exact process on Youtube.1- The number one tool you need is your face. start with a clean one. Rinse it with fresh water, wipe it gently with cotton or a soft towel. It is very important to start with a clean face.2- Moisturise your skin. Make sure your face is not dry. Use your daily moisturiser, depending on your skin type.3- Prime your skin. You will need a makeup base or as its usually called in the makeup world, a " Primer" This step is necessary if you want the makeup to stay longer on your skin, it prevents the skin from absorbing the makeup. 4- Foundation: There are many types, some are very light and provide, light-medium coverage to your skin, and are good for daily use. Other types are heavier on the skin and provide full coverage, They're good for specail occasions and parties. Some foundations are creamier than others. It all depends on your skin. Try different brands to decide which one suits you best. You will also need some tools to apply the foundation on your skin. A brush and a foundation sponge.5-Consealer: it is used for the under eye area. It helps hide any signs of tiredness as it shows mostly in the eye. 6- Loose or pressed powder. Apply that on top of the consealer to prevent it from breaking. You can also apply it all over the face for a matt finished look. It also helps keeping your makeup in place for longer. Now you're done with the most important and most issential to every makeup application steps. The rest depends on your taste.Eye makeup:There are almost endless techniques to this. It all dependa on the look you're reaching for. Some are basic, just an eyeliner can make a big difference. Other more advanced techiniques might require different shades of eyeshadows, different eyeliner colours, mascara, eyelash extentions, bronzer, contour kit, highlighter, blusher,.. Etc.You'll also need aome tools to apply all that, some brushes, eyelash glue for the extensions, an eyelash curler maybe. You'll also need a fix spray to help the makeup last longer on your face. Here are some headstart videos from Youtube. I wish you all the good luck!
What do you call someone who doesn't wear makeup?
Au natural is the term I use. I am a naked-faced, non-cosmetically enhanced woman. :)Confident with her natural beautyToo busy to wear makeupAll of these work for me.What is interesting about forgoing a face masking routine is what it does to my personality. I think it makes me more true to myself, more concerned about what is inside and less concerned about how others perceive my face. I make over the inside of me rather than making over the outside of me.Women who choose to be natural are probably better at saving money (outward appearances matter less, and keeping up with the Joneses doesn't matter at all) and more likely to be athletic/outdoorsy. Personally, I grew up mountain biking with the boys.
What do I do if my boyfriend wants me to wear makeup but I don't? We have talked but he won't give up.
Do?Ditch him.If he likes makeup so much, tell him to wear it! Your body, your choice and you don’t want to. No further discussion is needed or even warranted.You aren’t being unreasonable or unfair, he has absolutely no right to tell you what you can or cannot wear, and I think he’s incredibly rude to ask you.I couldn’t believe you said you’ve talked about it, as I assume you mean you’ve had a discussion about whether you should or shouldn’t. What the hell does it have to do with him? You’re his girlfriend not his property or possession. You have choices too - whether or not YOU want to wear makeup for YOU is only one.Then to continue insisting after you’ve talked about it is just attempting to control you, not cool. He does not own you, control you or have ANY say on how you dress, do your hair or whether you chose to wear makeup. Honestly, ITS NOT HIS CHOICE OR DECISION. 100% no question no discussion YOUR choice.Your body, your choices.You don’t need his approval to do anything, it doesn’t matter what he wants or likes, you are a whole worthwhile independent entity to him, he has no say in your choices. None. But speaking of choices, he doesn’t seem to think you’ve considered your choice to be in this relationship, and I suggest you do now & very seriously.Get out, and get out now before he attempts to control other aspects of your life. You have options & choices way beyond the realm of him and his draconian views. You aren’t second class, you will find someone to love you (lots of them actually) you don’t have to obey his wishes and you do deserve so much better treatment. That’s not love, it’s control.Make your choice and walk away from his immature ideas of what a mature relationship should be about.
Are there make up techniques that don’t cover up freckles?
I do not want to cover up my freckles, I even think it would be cool to make them more seen, you know? Most make up tutorials involve foundation. I like how foundation makes my skin tone look more even, but I don’t like the way the look on my hundreds of freckles. It looks like I’m trying and failing to cover them and looks awful. If I try to look up make up tutorials for people with freckles, all I get is tutorials on how to cover them. I don’t want to cover them, I love them. Does anyone know of any make up routines or tutorials for people with freckles?
I feel weird when I'm wearing makeup....like i don't look pretty because its not my natural look? Why?
maybe because you are using too much or the wrong colors. Most of the prettiest people to wear make up swear by more is less and just using colors that are natural to enhance natural features look the best. Don't buy cheap make up because it looks cakey. If you use higher quality make up with high pigments you will use less, and you wont get that caked on look.
Do girls dress up and put a considerable amount of make up just to impress guys?
seriously, guys actually think that women/girls dress for them? What sort of thought processes do they imagine go into picking out clothing? For me it’s mostly‘is this clean?’‘does it more or less match’‘will my mother say it makes me look like an old woman with too many cats’‘would I get looked at funny for walking around the mall like this’‘is it comfortable enough to wear all day’‘is it situation-appropriate’‘is it weather-appropriate’‘does it reveal the fact that I haven’t shaved my armpits/legs in way too long’‘is my hair going to get caught in the zipper/buttons’‘is my bra visible through my shirt’‘do my pants stay up without a belt’‘do I flash people when I bend over’‘where did that nice shirt go — why can I never find anything’‘these pantyhose have a run in them — can’t wear a skirt’‘this shirt is getting see-through — why are girl-clothes so flimsy’etc.Girl-clothes are complicated. I, personally, am not a particularly ‘on top of things’ sort of person and just getting dressed in appropriate clothes requires way too much thought to add the variable of ‘what will dudes think of me in this’. Mind you, I’m also asexual and things like that just don’t (usually) occur to me. I will think of ‘will this make people stare at me’, but sexual attraction-related thoughts tend to come somewhere after clothing-related doomsday scenarios.Also, I will sometimes say ‘I give up’ and go with, I don’t know, sweatpants and a corset because I like sweatpants and I like corsets and I sometimes just don’t have the energy to think of everything.
