Using Makeup

I put this in the women and girls section but I'm sure some men and boys use this too - feel free to post guys :) 

Anyways, today I put on some makeup and it was hell! I couldn't stand it for long and had to wash it off as quickly as I could - even now my skin still feels really strange. Guess it'll be like that a while now.

I've never been able to tolerate makeup but thought I'd give it a try today just to see if that's changed. It hadn't :) 

Is anyone else like this?

  • I never wear it, never have. Except my sister insisted I let her put some light foundation on my face for my wedding, that was it and I didn't want to then. As a kid I didn't like when my Mum put it on, didn't like the smell of it or how it looked. Maybe part of it was she looked different? Also never wanted face paint of any kind, not even drawing on my skin with biro on anything.

    I don't like how it looks on people if it is not subtle. Some of it grosses me out. Especially lipstick, like on a glass or cup, yuck. Someone's face is coming off on the thing I am supposed to drink from?! No thanks!

  • I don't blame you! I expect it's better without but for me it's one of those things I see other women do with ease and I really really want to be the same. When I first saw my mum in makeup I wanted to try it too - she bought me a small set and applied it for me, but I couldn't stand it sadly.

    Some things never change lol!

    I see a lot of women who fake it up, it looks awful like that but weirdly I think they think it looks really good. I tried subtle but nice earlier.
