Makeup? So this is a question for the ladies... Why go through the makeup routine? I have...

I wear minimal makeup and take care of my skin. The older you get however, a little makeup enhances and covers areas that you may not like lol.

To be truthful, i love makeup. There are days im comfortable not putting it on but its like my face is a canvas and im the artist.

devil's advocate here...many women you think are going "natural" and not wearing makeup, are in fact wearing makeup, just not much, and skillfully applied. :)

Makeup is an art. I think of it as a hobby. I paint. That includes my face. It's fun. I like applying it and I like how it looks. I don't do it to impress other people. If you don't like makeup, then don't wear it. Easy peasy.

Makeup can make any woman look better. You just have to do it right.

It makes me feel better to spend time taking care of myself. That's why I take care of my skin. That's why I meditate at the end of the day. A makeup routine has just become another part of my day where I can take some time to myself and feel grounded by something soothing and familiar. I don't think I need it, there are months at a time where I go without because I value sleep and other things more, but ultimately it's a way for me to take care of myself when I'm feeling upset/anxious. Something else to focus on.

It’s not for men, it’s for women to feel better and prettier. I do it for myself.

I'm too lazy to even comb my hair in the morning, let alone do make up. 😆😆😆

I keep a natural tone look to myself. I like to use earth colors and not so much the red, blues, greens, ext. I feel "more of a woman" when I wear it only because it's a girl thing and I'm being just that.
Now if I had a daughter, going through all that work to have such a party is ridiculous. There's other kinds of parties I'd have with a daughter.

I used to wear a bit of make-up to hardly anything. And I feel I look better without it on anyway 🙂

I used to hate how women used to go you should wear some make up you'd get yourself a nice man. Without makeup I got myself a gorgeous lady lol

Low self esteem, perhaps

It's a hobby

I'm an old hippie and I've never had a girlfriend who wore makeup. Women paint a mask on their face and then wonder why men lie to them.

My mum and grandmother have beautiful skin and I do too. It's good genes, staying out of the sun and minimal make up.

[c=#002673]I can't speak for all. I do apply make up, but it is minimal. I have always made sure to take care of my skin so that when I choose not to apply make up, it makes no difference. I like a bit of lipstick, no eyeliner, small amount of shadow & lightly applied mascara. My natural color hair is such a light blonde that you cannot see lashes without mascara. I do not have to put anything on, but choose light amounts when I do. [/c]

My industry requires makeup. It's the job description.
