To those of you who wear a full face every day:
I challenge you to go out with only ten seconds worth of makeup and report back your feelings.

I'll go first: As someone who wears everything, always, I felt quite naked. I put on only a dab of cover up on actual acne marks, did a couple strokes in my brows and tinted chapstick. I was insecure dropping off my kid at school, especially since they all see me practically simcha ready most of the time. Then I went to the supermarket, and my subconscious told me to buy some make up. I came home with foundation and eyeliner [I have tons at home, did not need this at all]. Right when I got home I wanted to see how little I feel pretty with. I did bb cream, eyeliner, blush. Thats as little as I can handle.

How bout you?

BB cream eyeliner and blush is my minimum to feel happy with myself too. I usually wear a little more but not crazy amounts every day. Any less and I feel horrible.

A bit extreme, but an interesting read.

Well I'm a makeup addict for a reason. I have a face full of acne scars and lots of unevenness. No need to embarrass myself in public. Most women who have this issue don't go around bare faced.

I also have lots of acne. I just want to feel like I don't have to apologize for my existence, if you know what I mean. This is the way I am, I got up late, too bad world, accept me anyway.

No. Like amother above said, I wear makeup for a reason. I have horrible skin, acne, etc. I am ugly with no makeup. Really, really ugly. And with makeup I am beautiful.

I get so upset when people make comments about why I wear so much makeup. To me it's like making comments to a person with bad vision why they wear glasses or contacts. You are lucky! You can look beautiful with hardly any makeup! I can't, ok?! Just be thankful and don't make me feel bad about it. Goodness.

And yes, of course I physically can go out and be ugly. But I do enjoy being beautiful, as I'm sure most women do. And if I have a choice to live life as an ugly woman or a beautiful one, I choose to be beautiful. Even if it means spending a half hour every morning doing my makeup, no matter what, no matter how late I am. And I don't think that's a bad thing.
