Is it normal that i feel trapped into wearing makeup?

7 Comments

I don't want to wear makeup anymore. I want to be bare faced and feel fresh in the morning, without feeling as if I have to wear eyeliner, but I feel like I NEED to wear it. I want to go to school without it, but the thought of doing so makes me want to vomit. I feel trapped. I don't know what to do, and I'm scared of this feeling, of what people will think of my bare face. Even when I'm AT HOME I feel like I need to wear makeup, I don't even want my family to see me without it, which sounds so horrible, I know. I wish I never even started to wear makeup in the first place. And it only seems to be me who has this problem. Is this even normal? Any help, possibly, please? (I am 14 btw, not sure if that matters, but just some extra information)

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    I've never worn makeup other than trying it out. I can't imagine putting time in every morning and night.

    People get used to what you look like. If you never wear it people don't notice but if you wear it all the time and stop suddenly it is distracting and a shock to people.

    Slowly reduce the amount until it's very minimal then stop altogther. No one will care hun.

    This is normal, but don't let it defeat you. Try to just make friends with your real face and you won't mind sharing it with others so much. Makeup can be fun but it shouldn't become a mask. Try to figure out why it's making you feel sick - find the root.

    I would read a book about another country and maybe donate time or money to charity. Becoming conscious of those suffering around you will make you less concerned with whether or not there are chemicals on your face

    wait till you are looking in the mirror at age forty and the guy you're trying to date also age forty has a 27 year old girlfriend. That body filler and Top coat will be your friend after you hit the wall. But at your age all you need is a little sun, thats all i need.

    I love wearing makeup. I enjoy eyeshadow, lipstick, blush, and anything that makes me look feminine.

    Yeah, many people are insecure about their skin. I think you're normal. We can't all look like Alicia Keys without makeup. It's you choice though. Maybe you look much better than you think you do?

    I don't wear makeup as much as I have in the past, but I know I wear it well when I do. It's up to you whether or not you wear makeup. Just try to always wash off your makeup before going to sleep, and then make sure you moisturize as well. Try to exfoliate about twice a week, maybe give yourself a facial about once a week or once every two weeks.

    When giving yourself a facial you want to cleanse your skin, steam it to open the pores, exfoliate, then use an appropriate mask for your skin type, and after you wash off the mask use a toner then finally finish up with moisturizer. I have recently started using natural Bulgarian rose water as a toner, and I really like it.
