And yet, I just don't wear it all that often, unless it's something important.

I got carded for a rated-R movie. Seriously? babypugs on "How do you look without makeup?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-look-without-makeup/page/3#post-1350656 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 16:32:41 +0000 babypugs 1350656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Meh. Could be better, could be worse. I don't ever wear much-just moisturizer and mascara for work, so I'm used to my appearance, but I'm sure ten minutes of makeup would make a huge difference.

What does it look it? Trying to self diagnose ;) JoJoGirl on "How do you look without makeup?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-look-without-makeup/page/3#post-1288487 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 09:18:01 +0000 JoJoGirl 1288487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Um, I actually am sitting here trying to remember the last time I wore makeup. I think it was before LO was born. DH absolutely hates it when I wear any so my already-low motivation to bother completely went out the window. bpcmarj on "How do you look without makeup?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-look-without-makeup/page/3#post-1288220 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 06:23:05 +0000 bpcmarj 1288220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Tired. But I just add a really small amount during the day and it takes just a couple of minutes and I don't even need a mirror. BB cream, under eye concealer, blush, brown-black mascara (heavier black formula for night time).

I think I look decent without it. DH can't even tell when I do wear makeup since I put so little on. Even on my wedding day, I had barely any on because I was too lazy. indi on "How do you look without makeup?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-look-without-makeup/page/2#post-1288173 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 01:56:06 +0000 indi 1288173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I prefer no makeup, and only wear minimal makeup for work to help me look older. I only regularly started wearing it weekdays after i started my career, so I'm comfortable, happy, and confident without it. I wish it wasn't a "thing" for women...the vast majority of men are naked faced all the time and no one bats an eye or criticizes them like we do ourselves. It's a shame, IMHO. looch on "How do you look without makeup?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-look-without-makeup/page/2#post-1288154 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 01:25:44 +0000 looch 1288154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I love makeup, but I don't apply it very artfully, so I am sure I could do it better. For me, it is part of my total package. I put thought into. My hair, my clothing, my skin, not for anyone else, but for me. MCD919 on "How do you look without makeup?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-look-without-makeup/page/2#post-1287015 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 15:33:27 +0000 MCD919 1287015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Gross! Haha.. My skin is pretty clear now, but after years of being self-conscious about acne, I still feel most comfortable with at least concealer on.. Usually just that and mascara if I'm going really low-maintenance. But for work/ going out I do foundation, concealer, eyeliner, mascara & bronzer. We'll see how that changes once LO gets here!! mediagirl on "How do you look without makeup?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-look-without-makeup/page/2#post-1287007 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 15:30:36 +0000 mediagirl 1287007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @smocks: yep. smocks on "How do you look without makeup?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-look-without-makeup/page/2#post-1286991 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 15:27:09 +0000 smocks 1286991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Geez, you guys are hard on yourselves. I think I look better with makeup, since I can play up my "assets" (eyes, lips) and downplay the less picture perfect things (zits, undereye circles, super pasty skin). But it's just an enhancement, makeup isn't what makes you beautiful. OldEnglandMama on "How do you look without makeup?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-look-without-makeup/page/2#post-1286938 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 15:11:12 +0000 OldEnglandMama 1286938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ A "bit peaky" according to my mother - ie tired and washed out. But I work in a research lab, so with safety glasses on and my hair pulled back and a bunch of nerdy male coworkers - who cares?! If I'm going somewhere special or giving a presentation or something then I'll make an effort. (Another one blessed with blonde eyelashes/eyebrows here, and a tonne of freckles. On the other hand, if I try and add too much colour - even just a little brown to my eyebrows I quickly look like a transvestite/cheap hooker....not good.)

They'll already comment if I wear anything form-fitting; bloody hormones! lamariniere on "How do you look without makeup?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-look-without-makeup/page/2#post-1286907 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 15:05:50 +0000 lamariniere 1286907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't wear makeup other than the occasional swipe of lipstick, so I think I look ok. :happy: sunny on "How do you look without makeup?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-look-without-makeup/page/2#post-1286783 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 14:34:42 +0000 sunny 1286783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I look tired! I don't wear a toN of makeup but if I leave the house I will wear concealer and curl my eyelashes. I used to always wear mascara too but I've been lazy lately. cascademom on "How do you look without makeup?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-look-without-makeup/page/2#post-1286775 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 14:31:35 +0000 cascademom 1286775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I look tired with big bags under my eyes. I even wear my glasses sometimes so I don't have to put concealer on for the bags. I've started wearing makeup when we take LO out on the weekends. I figure if I'm going to take pics of him and possibly some family ones, I should really wear some makeup.

I think I look "pretty" when I wear makeup, but that I don't really look like myself, if that makes sense. FarmWifeGina on "How do you look without makeup?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-look-without-makeup/page/2#post-1286732 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 14:20:23 +0000 FarmWifeGina 1286732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've never learned how to apply makeup well, not beyond very basic eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow, and blush anyways. So I rarely wear it, although it does make a difference when I do. But I have good skin and I'm used to the way I look with nothing on. I think I have good bones, but I look pretty boring and plain without anything. hilsy85 on "How do you look without makeup?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-look-without-makeup/page/2#post-1286731 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 14:20:05 +0000 hilsy85 1286731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @knittylady: lol! My dad once asked me why I had big black circles under my eyes. I was like, "Ummm I'm tired and not wearing makeup?!" I wear makeup daily, even if I don't leave the house. I look tired and washed out without it, bushelandapeck on "How do you look without makeup?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-look-without-makeup/page/2#post-1286722 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 14:14:09 +0000 bushelandapeck 1286722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @rahlyrah: lol. This is exactly how I feel too :) I feel like I look so tired and washed out...I almost never leave the house without makeup unless I'm headed to the gym.

I get "is this your little brother" when I'm with DS with no makeup. kjpugs on "How do you look without makeup?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-look-without-makeup/page/2#post-1286653 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 13:40:06 +0000 kjpugs 1286653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Horrible. Like an unpopular teenager. My issue is my skin. I have so many blemishes, marks, and scars that without concealer I have the world's worst pizza face skin. I rarely wear makeup because I work from home, and I thought that would help my skin- nope. knittylady on "How do you look without makeup?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-look-without-makeup/page/2#post-1286645 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 13:37:03 +0000 knittylady 1286645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Once, in front of everyone, a coworker asked if I had a black eye. I told I had just not worn make-up that day. I *almost* felt bad about how embarrassed he got!

My face has the last evidence that I was once blonde, so without makeup it looks like I have no eyelashes or eyebrows. I've always had bags under my eyes too, so I always at least use concealer, powder, blush and mascara. TheReelDeal on "How do you look without makeup?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-look-without-makeup/page/2#post-1286572 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 12:58:20 +0000 TheReelDeal 1286572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Just awful. My skin is blotchy so I think I look like a train wreck without some type of foundation to even it out. If I had great skin I don't think I would care.

Or so I've been told. LOL
