What is your opinion about makeup?

Any statement at all?

I rarely apply dark shades of eyeshadow like black or purple or green because I think it does not go well with my skin tone. I think it makes me look exhausted and does not do me justice in dim light. I try to stick to different shades or pink or maybe some reddish shades or brandy wine shades. I also dislike ruby red lipstick, or different shades of red. (Again, pinks are my go to colors.) I think scarlet red lipstick makes my complexion more washed out of color than I already am because I’m so light skinned. I envy others who can pull it off.

I make my own lip gloss/balm and kohl.

Not a big fan of skin products, think lot of them contain gluten and other ingredients I can't handle. Also they clog pores. Kind of worry about my face getting zits.

Last time I let someone put foundation and other stuff on my face it itched so bad and I felt very weird and uncomfortable. Like I am wearing a mask.

I have a cousin who is a sponsor for a skincare system that is organic and she sent me a kit. I’ve switched to it and I feel my skin is gradually getting better...and I know what you mean about foundation. I haven’t used it for about a year now because everything makes me break out even more.@Miram

@Thebestof1995 gluten is mostly organic, lolz, it is in most foods these days too. I am glad you found products that suit your skin.

Another issue for me with make up has been the way the primary material is being gathered like the Mica industry. I hate child labor.

And yes!! it can be really horrible. I don't use it but in weddings and parties women in my family like to put crap on my face, generally annoying, I tolerate it sometimes.
