I don't wear makeup

Okay so I don't wear any makeup. I feel so gross with it on. I've tried to get into it because everyone I know wears makeup. But I just can't I don't like it, it feels to much like a mask. And I already have walls built up I don't need another one.
Plus I don't have very bad skin I get the odd pimple but I don't cover it up because my skin it very sensitive and it will just make it worse to cover it. I have naturally red cheeks so I don't need to wear blush though when I was younger I used to get blushes to cover the redness. And I have red lips so I don't need lip stick because I've been asked so many times befroe the colour of lip stick I'm wearing when I don't have any on. The odd time I'll wear some mascara or a light lip gloss.
But all my friends say that I'm weird for not wearing makeup that guys won't like me without it. Are they right is it weird not to wear makeup?
If you're a girl do you wear a makeup, if you're a guy is it gross when girls don't wear makeup?

Is it normal that I don't wear makeup?

    I don't know why anyone would tell you guys won't like you without make up...maybe they hang out with the wrong kind of guys. My first two relationships were 2 years and 4 years long and I didn't wear make up at any point (I was ages 18-24) the guys and some of their boys actually complimented me for it. One of them said they'd rather have a girl who wears no make up than one that wore too much. The other said that it was one of the reasons he asked me out in the first place, he said I was 'naturally beautiful' I'm sure most of that was him just being sweet as I've never seen myself as beautiful but I've received nothing but compliments for not wearing make up, both from boyfriends and my girls. I use mascara on my eyelashes now but that's all, I tried blush a few times and hated it, I'm sure I'd feel the same with foundation. The guy I've just started seeing thinks it's cute that I shake my head at makeup and it scored points with his mom (I guess that makes me a good girl?? lol) My point is, be yourself, don’t let anyone pressure you when it comes to how you look. It's your face and your money (good makeup is expensive!)and trust me, people will respect and love you no matter what, especially since you have a lot of natural beauty anyway, I mean, people asking what lipstick you wear when you haven't any on at all? AWESOME!

    well all guys i know prefer girls without makeup because they can touch, kiss, feel etc. without having to worry about smearing or getting makeup on themselves.
    i am guessing that you are still a teen which is why your friends think its weird but its actually so much healthier for your skin to not wear makeup.
    my girlfriends always ask me what i use to keep my skin clean and pimple free but its only because i dont use makeup. they plaster themselves everyday and because of that, they get pimples and then plaster to cover up the pimples. its just a vicious circle.
    be proud to be naturally beautiful!

  • It physically bothers me when I wear makeup. My eyes get very irritated even if it is not near my eyes. I will wear mascara or eyeliner maybe once a year when I go out somewhere. I never even wear anything but a tiny bit of foundation at school dances! I feel weird because all of my friends don't even go to the damn grocery store without caking their faces. I'm kind of glad that i can't handle it physically so it prevents me from overusing it, but at the same time it annoys me that i can't use it. Guys definitely like girls without makeup (if they are real guys that is) i think it;s unhealthy for the body and the mind to rely on makeup wherever you go.

    I ruv makeup
    I'm sure you're beautiful without it.
    I just like it because it accentuates my features and makes me pop.
    But, who cares?!

  • Not everyone who wears makeup wears foundation. Besides, it doesn't look bad when it is applied PROPERLY, and some types are actually good for your skin because of all the moisturizers in them.

    It doesn't seem like you need it to look beautiful, lucky for you. Maybe your friends don't have great skin like you and that's why they wear it. Maybe your skin will change when you get a bit older and then you might want to use some foundation. Enjoy your beauty while you still have it because it doesn't last forever.

    I rarely wear make-up. It increases the aging of your skin. I might wear eye shadow once in a while.

    It's absolutely normal, I hate makeup even though my skin is not the best, I feel that beauty isn't makeup it's whats inside that matters (I know that sounds cheesy) but it's true. One of my friends feels she can't live without makeup and she has no spots or pimples, the other day she saw she was getting a few spots here and then, God knows what she's gonna do with her face next.

    I'm a guy and I enjoy that my girlfriend doesn't wear makeup. She is absolutely beautiful without it and I can hug, kiss, and cuddle her without worry about smearing or running off. I do however think my girlfriend looks amazing when she does get makeup done, but I only like it for formal occasions because not being able to give her a real kiss bothers me.

    I only wear it if I'm going out somewhere. I think some girls look better with make up on and some look better without. 2 of my sisters never wear make up and when they do I don't think it looks good, they just look better without it. But myself and my other sister can go either way... its all up to you! If you don't like make up duck it don't wear it to make someone else Happy.

    If you like how your face looks, who cares if you don't wear makeup. Most guys don't mind anyway. By your description, you sound really goodlooking :)

    You're normal and intelligent. I don't wear any makeup either besides a light coat of mascara. If we don't need it then I find it ridiculous to wear it.

    Haha, I have amazing skin and pink cheeks (naturally). I just wear mascara because I like to accentuate my eyes (:
