All my friends wear makeup and i don't

I'm eighteen and I just started college. All the girls there wear like, 3 tons of make-up everyday and even my best friends have started on it. The problem is that I don't like to wear it to much because I have ecezma on my eyes and my forehead and a bit on my cheeks but the other girls are starting to call me gay and tell me that I'm using it as an excuse to make people feel sorry for me, BUT I REALLY DO HAVE A SKIN PROBLEM!!! By the way, the hypo allergenic stuff is ok but people say that it looks rubbish on me...

Is it normal I don't wear it that much?

HELP!

    I think that girls look better without makeup.

    Don't listen to them... A lot of guys don't like when girls look so fake.

    I really respect a girl who doesn't wear any makeup. It show's confidence. Confidence I sometimes wish I had. Good for you!

    Just do what your comfortable with. U don't have to b like every one else. Subtle, lightly applied make up is best.

    I <3333 makeup. It's an addiction. I'm actually quite jealous of girls who can get away with not wearing it. You're a lucky one. ;)

    Totally normal! I'm 25 and wear very minimal makeup. I've been told by many men (close male friends and acquaintances) that less is better. And girl if you can pull off looking good without it, go for it! If you're confident without it, then why hassle with it?

    Wow, I have never heard anyone act like that to someone else over something as menial as makeup! Don't listen to those hos. They're clearly so shallow you could see through them if you put them up to a light and people like that, their opinions mean nothing. Do what makes you feel the most comfortable!

    No guy likes make-up. I'm representing what almost each guy in the world thinks.

    there is no reason to wear tons of makeup. you'll get a nice man or woman for yourself without it. nobody wants a fake person. it's just college social bullcrap. if you feel the need, wear a little lipstick and maybe a hypoallergenic mascara. "F" those "B's" lol

    Very beautiful girls usually don't need a lot of make up, maybe once in a while. It is always average and below average girls that seem to love piling it on. It sounds like your friends are really insecure. What are they trying to hide with all that make up?

    I'm in my third year of college, and I still don't wear a lot of makeup. Now and then I'll use cover up for pimples, but other than that, I keep my face clean. I used to wear mascara and all that eye stuff, but it really makes my ryes burn and water so I just gave up on it. I like the idea that I can rub my eyes without having to worry about smearing mascara all over my face.

    I have the same skin condition. All I can say is this. Don't put yourself in a bad position just because some girls decide they want to paint up their faces and judge you for not tagging along. The only one you can please is yourself. Besides, going naturally, aka, wearing what you were born with, it the most beautiful thing of all :) ...

    Yes its completely normal!

    Not all girls love slathering their face in goop everyday. If I didn`t have red spots from acne I woulnt! Actually I used to every day, but as I`ve grown up I prefer a more natural look.

    Any girl who tells you you seem weird because of that is probably jealous that you look so good without it and she can`t...some of us just aren`t born with skin that looks flawless without makeup...I`m soo jealous of girls who don`t have to wear any!

    In my opinion, makeup is horrible. So is jewelry. I hate both so much. Makeup, dye, jewelry, and haircuts just make me so angry. It is ALL FAKE.

    Sorry for speaking. Back to the kitchen with me.

    Just wear lip stick or lip gloss and curl your eye lashes and maybe get a good daring haircut

    You should be happy that your not like everyone else and your an individual. If you don't like to wear it then don't. If it's that important to them that you do then get new friends. They should like you for whatever your choice is. And trying to pressure you into wearing make up is silky. The only time I wear make up is when I'm going out. Which is rare. I might throw on some eyeliner and mascara occasionally. Putting foundation on your face will just cause more skin issues.

    i'm 21 and i don't wear makeup.
    plus, one you start applying on that crap on your face.. your skin is gonna age a lot quicker. just use some cute lipgloss... something that's safe and not full of lead crap that makeup companies put in their lip stuff.

    you don't need to wear make up to fit in with all those fake dolls.
    be confident in yourself!

    Make up is over rated. And my husband hates the way it tastes.

    On a related note, my sister and I both recently had eczema attacks on our eyelids. We both have been dealing with adult onset food allergies. I'm not sure what the specific cause of it was but eliminating processed foods got rid of a lot of my skin problems. Not that I'm going to celebrate by wearing make-up.

    Yeah as dappled says - you have them rattled! I find it really bizarre when girls try to almost pick on other girls because they don't wear make up whilst they slap it on with a trowel themselves, kudos to you!

    Ignore them. They're just going with the herd mentality and picking on you because they're not strong enough individually to deal with someone who thinks for herself.

    All credit to you. You've got them rattled.
