So, yeah, I'm happy with how I look without makeup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on/page/2#post-340896 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 09:43:23 +0000 Alivoo01 340896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only wear BB cream if I do wear makeup, so I don't mind not wearing makeup, but definitely don't like the way it photographs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on/page/2#post-340209 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 15:37:48 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 340209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm more worried about my hair in photos. I think I look fine without make up but sometimes my skin is not great. So I photoshop, it's like makeup after the picture is taken. I just clone stamp the imperfections away. I also have been known to fix rashy bits and scratches on my children's faces in photos.</p> <p>Now you won't know what to believe, will you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on/page/2#post-340200 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 15:31:39 +0000 MrsH 340200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rarely wear makeup. Sometimes if I have something big going on at work or we are going out on date night I will. I do love buying makeup though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on/page/2#post-339674 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 17:59:12 +0000 SweetMamaM 339674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never used to wear make-up, in fact it took me til my late teens to even learn how. After coming off BCP my skin is a mess and I've recently discovered a new hypoallergenic mineral makeup brand so it's a rare day for me that I leave the house without at least a base/mascara/gloss on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on/page/2#post-339588 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 15:10:25 +0000 calsmom 339588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not comfortable going out without makeup. I need a little bronzer on my face, mascara, and concealer for my undereye circles then I feel better! I'm with you on not feeling comfortable being in pics with your lo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on/page/2#post-339586 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 15:04:44 +0000 softcream 339586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, but that's because i don't normally wear makeup. so i'd look funny _with_ makeup on.</p> <p>if anything, i'll fill in my brows with a brow pencil, which also happens to be the only makeup i own. well, i also have some concealer, but i should probably toss that out since it's pretty old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on/page/2#post-339551 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 13:58:26 +0000 cvbee 339551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! And yesterday for the first time in my life (since starting to wear makeup) I went out without makeup on because I was up all night with a kidney stone pain, hadn't had a wink of sleep, and wanted to get to the doctor's to get out of my pain. Then I had to go to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription and ran into so many people....awful. So I felt like I had to explain what happened. I have naturally red blotchiness in my face, so I'm sure I looked terrible. Also, I have blond eyelashes, and look very 'strange' without mascera. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on/page/2#post-339479 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 11:35:01 +0000 googly-eyes 339479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coco bee that is so unfair!!</p> <p>I always have dark circles and I hate for people to see me without concealer!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on/page/2#post-339465 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 11:16:11 +0000 Meridian 339465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No pics of me sans makeup, please! My skin has been SO bad ever since I went off BC a year and a half ago :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on/page/2#post-339463 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 11:12:32 +0000 hilsy85 339463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I will usually not leave the house without concealer/foundation and blush. But it takes me like 5 minutes to put on, so it's worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on/page/2#post-339459 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 11:06:44 +0000 mrs. bird 339459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: hahaha, that's so rude it's kinda funny! my in laws are confused by my paleness. they'll stare at me and say things like, 'so, do you stay that color all year round?' =D i've embraced my pastey white skin, i like it now, even if people think i'm sick! =) you have a beautiful complexion, i recall in your pictures! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on/page/2#post-339448 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 10:48:03 +0000 pastemoo 339448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rarely wear makeup but am never in enough photos because I'm always taking them. I have to remember to ask DH to include me smetimes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on/page/2#post-339439 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 10:40:33 +0000 ladyfingers 339439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I have cystic acne and red marks from past acne (not because of pregnancy, but pregnancy means I can't use any of the awesome strong stuff that normally gets rid of it). I can't leave the house in anything but full makeup. I hate it and it makes me want to cry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on#post-339421 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 10:27:06 +0000 Arden 339421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: Heh, yeah. It's sad. My parents boss thought I had some kind of disease like leukemia or something "because she looks way to pale to be healthy. Have you had a doctor check her out recently?"<br /> Except I've been like this my whole life, and I'm very healthy thank you very much rude man! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on#post-339411 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 10:11:44 +0000 mrs. bird 339411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: i get people thinking i'm ill because i'm so pale too! doesn't help that my husband is african so when we are standing next to each other, the contrast make my paleness stand out =) mascara seems to make people think i'm less sickly than bronzer though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on#post-339397 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 09:50:10 +0000 Arden 339397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't wear makeup every day, but I don't like the way I look without it.<br /> I don't have great skin (which is why I REALLY want the clarisonic mia!), and also because I'm naturally SO pale, I really need mascara, lip stain, and blush to look human. Otherwise I look like a ghost or zombie or something.<br /> When I go out without makeup, strangers ask if I'm feeling unwell. Yeah. THAT pale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on#post-339392 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 09:45:55 +0000 yin 339392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never worn makeup on a regular basis. I'm pretty sure the last time I wore makeup was over two years ago. DH always has a camera on him and it's nearly impossible to avoid having my picture taken. I am thankful for that because I have a good number of pictures with my LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on#post-339374 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 08:48:47 +0000 autumnlove 339374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love makeup but I don't make the time to wear much these days! I'm ok with my bare face...but I don't like being in pictures! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on#post-339371 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 08:35:03 +0000 heartonastring 339371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before I was pregnant? Totally fine - had lovely skin.</p> <p>Since I've been pregnant? I don't even like looking at myself in the mirror without make-up, let alone going out in public or getting my photo taken. I have developed a nasty case of cystic acne all over my face. It's very embarrassing :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on#post-339367 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 08:29:22 +0000 CATWOMAN 339367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I had nice skin, I would go without often. But it's unfortunate- hormones have taken over since pregnancy. I'm a monster without make up. No joke! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on#post-339359 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 08:17:22 +0000 Pepper 339359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like how I look without makeup, but I'll still occasionally run an errand or two without it. I have really dark circles under my eyes, and unless I cover them up, I feel like I look so tired. I always try and use bb cream at the very least, it just helps to brighten me up and reduce those dark circles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on#post-339346 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 07:40:10 +0000 mrsjyw 339346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Beautiful!</p> <p>Def don't care the way I used to when I was younger. Pref is to have face on, but don't care really </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on#post-339304 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 03:50:34 +0000 photojane 339304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In high school I wouldn't have been caught dead out of the house without full make up. I don't know if I've just gotten lazy or if I'm just more confident now, but I definitely don't mind going out with naked face these days. If im going out with hubs I'll usually do full make up, and most of the time I'll put on a little concealer and mascara to run errands. Sometimes, though, I just don't feel like it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on#post-339300 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 03:09:41 +0000 Ree723 339300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hardly ever wear make up and kind of prefer it that way. I use a bit of translucent powder every day as my moisturizer makes my face shiny, but other than that, I generally can't be bothered. I like a bit of eyeshadow and mascara occassionally when I go out, but even then, I go out sans makeup more often than not. I have good skin though and my personality definitely suits a more natural look so it works for me.</p> <p>Oh and DH hates when I wear makeup - he even wanted me to go without on our wedding day as he prefers my natural look, but there was no way I was skipping makeup on our wedding day! I didn't wear much though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on#post-339293 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 02:45:58 +0000 DigAPony 339293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. I won't go out in public without foundation--I hate my uneven complexion! I have gotten pretty comfortable with going out without eye makeup and mascara, like if I'm just going to my girlfriend's house, or to the movies. I feel more confident with all my makeup on, though.</p> <p>@Coco Bee: @FutureMrsMcK: You both look beautiful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on#post-339273 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 00:25:07 +0000 lovehoneybee 339273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind my naked face--or don't have the energy to care, rather. I almost never wear makeup, and it's minimal when I do. </p> <p>That said, I HATE the way I look in photos if I'm not wearing it. That article hit home for me--I've taken about a billion photos of DS alone or with DH or my ILs, but the last one of the two of us together was probably the day he was born: </p> [attach=1866/12/mbtgdw.600x400.EvanSarah9.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-with-the-way-you-look-without-makeup-on#post-339266 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 23:47:01 +0000 StbHisMrs 339266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never been happy with my naked faced, especially these days. I'm allergic to something and I don't know what. My face is red, itchy, wrinkly and swollen. I look awful with and without it's worse! </p>
