Anyone else just not wear make up, like ever?
The only time I would wear is to a super special occasion such as a wedding, but it's very rare (2 or 3 times a year). I'm quite sensory and hate the feel of it, so I just don't.
Every time I read a Shabbos mikvah makeup thread I'm glad of it. Other big advantage - saves time AND money.
Anyone else???

I don't wear makeup either. Maybe some mascara and lip gloss for an extra special occasion. I don't like to feel painted. I admire those who put the time and effort into it, but its not for me.

Yep. My skin is nice, so I have no interest in caking product on it, my time is limited, and this is not how I want to spend it, I spend less money, and I hope to project to my children that I find my beauty and worth in other places. I also happen to like the way I look without it.
I'm not criticizing those who do wear it. Just explaining why I don't.

I do wear some makeup - mascara and lib balm, maybe lip gloss if I'm feeling fancy. But that's it. I've only worn foundation, blush and powder for my wedding and my sister's wedding.
ETA - I'm closer to 40 years old than 35...

I also don't wear make up. I'm sensory and can't stand it. I don't even wear it to simchas, except for siblings weddings because my mom won't leave me alone otherwise. I have great skin, and I don't know if I have a pretty face (well, DH says so, but that doesn't make it objectively so), but it's certainly not bad looking.

I'm sure lots of women wear little to no makeup most of the time. It's not a crime, any more than always wearing flats is a crime. Neither is wearing subtle makeup that fills in what Mother Nature withheld.

Props to all of you, I find that admirable. To each their own. But at the same time...Whaaaaaaaat? Life without makeup?! . I love you ,my dear makeup. I find it enjoyable to spruce myself up every morning . Its one of my favorite parts of my hectic morning routine. And my kids come and talk to me and play with q tips and hair clips while I put it on.

I wear very little. As a kid, I loved the idea of makeup but as an adult, I really don't love wearing It.

No makeup doesn't mean I don't spruce up. I dress very well, do my tichels in interesting ways or style my sheital well. I accessorize with jewelry and belts and bags. I just don't wear makeup.

It's almost a self-fulfilling prophecy - the more you put gunk on your skin, the worse your face can get and the more make up you think you need.
Dare to go bare!

I think women with little or no make up look far better than those who put heavy make-up on.

If I looked as good without makeup as I did with it, I wouldn't wear it. But doing some mascara makes my eyes look bigger and shapes it out, and blush adds some color and tinted moisturizer just evens out my skin and makes it look smooth and flawless

No makeup on a regular day. Eye shadow and lip gloss for special occasions. Full face only for my wedding, my siblings weddings etc.

Blue, you are wrong about that. Maybe you have great skin, but my skin is red and blotchy. I used to have acne which doesn't go away when you "go bare".
I have horrible skin which is why I wear concealed but I hate having to wear makeup .
. I go bare every shavbos and yom tov in addition to any days I have off from work, I don't go out when I don't wear makeup only parshas zachor..
. I am embarrassed on Shabbat because everyone else seems to have good skin without makeup. I have horrible skin. So I "dared to go bare" and my skin looked horrible.
. if someone has a cheap sheitel then its hard to "spruce up" in that way.
