Using Makeup

Luna

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?

    Sorry I didn't see there had been replies.

    I've been watching some videos on YouTube and there's some guides and ideas of gentle makeup which I might look at giving a try - just to see if that's bearable or not. 

    It's something I like the look of, even if it were just worn every now and then.

  • I never really had any issues with wearing makeup until I was in my late twenties. I don't know if it was because I had gotten out of the habit of wearing makeup, but I remember applying it one day and hating the feel of it on my skin. Within seconds of applying it, I ended up removing it and decided there and then my makeup-wearing days were over. It has to be said that I don't miss wearing it.

  • I rarely wear makeup to work, maybe a bit of mascara if I remember and have time to put it on! If I wear foundation I have to make sure my face is extremely well moisturised first then I usually wear a light creamy one. I have eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara on my eyes and a creamy lipstick. Don’t like matte lipsticks and some styles of gloss they can feel crusty

    Paleness is mostly why I tried yesterday (I think), I'm so pale it's crazy.

    I don't think I'll bother again. It looks nice if done properly but I don't think it's worth the hassle lol.

  • I do wear some, but mostly when I work or go out, but it’s minimal. I wouldn’t ever wear foundation. Don’t see the point and it feels horrible. I just give my lips some colour as they are very pale, and a strip of dark eyeshadow or liner, with or without a light coat of mascara. I don’t often bother with mascara if I’m honest.

    I'm starting to think I should probs just forget about it now as well. My step sister says I should but when I see others with it I really want to do it too.

    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.

  • I used to wear makeup, mainly eye shadow and lipstick if going out for an evening, but I found it quite difficult. It wasn't helped by being short sighted.  I tend to rub my eyes so often rubbed it off. 

    Then I had a friend I worked with who didn't wear it so decided I wouldn't bother either. I have never looked back. For me it is just another thing to think about.

  • 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!
