Make Up makes a BIG difference( major difference )
http://www.deansplanet.com/nomakeup.html
Tell me this isn't bad.
This is how I feel without make up.
low self esteem, ugly, don't want to wake up next to my boyfriend in the morning, go anywhere without make up because that is how I'll look. Pale and ugly.. and everyone will see.
Someone here thinks without make up looks normal?
No, just pale and unattractive.
How can I quit make up and not look this way.
Or is it I just can't anymore unless I'm comfortable looking pale and unattractive.
Someone please tell me how to give up make up.
I don't want to wear it anymore. But this is how I will look. I can't stand waking up in the morning and have my boyfriend see how ugly I am without make up. And I hate having to wear foundation on hot weathers.

Re: Make Up makes a BIG difference( major differen
If your problem is feeling pale without it, lay out on the beach or go to the tanning bed for a little color. You could wear minimal makeup--curl your eyelashes, use concealer and a little lipstick. I've had mild acne for 10 years with some small scars. The sun and concealer go a long way to making me feel better. Mainly, you shouldn't worry so much about what others think about the way you look, although it may be hard to get out of that way of thinking. You want someone to love you for who you are, not how you look anyway....Good luck!!

Legend. Its the photography.
Take a look at the before and after photos.
Before the hair is unkempt and itts usually outside in the wind in bad light with a bad camera. After are all staged photos by professional photographers.
2 exceptions I saw. Halle Berry and Demi Moore. The so-called without pictures were scenes from movies. Those wer not without makeup. They had makeup designed to give that effect.
You w/o makeup is you. You with makeup is you.
You when you get out of the shower is you WET.
You wearing fancy clothes and makeup to work is you trying to build a fantasy of someone else to make money for YOU.
Do what makes you feel good at home. Do what makes you money at work.
If you want to look good for someone else, put your efforts into simple things that take little time and effort.

These pictures use lighting, and different profiles, hair is different, all kinds of tricks.
It's not just the makeup. These guys are pros at what they do. Even on TV, ever see Jenna (porn star) when the do her shoots she has sooo much lighting on her for a flawless look, they call it "the blown out look."
Proper lighting makes a huge difference! As does the tons of makeup the use. Makes me feel good! Lol.

Yea, those are just super bad pictures where the stars were caught off guard with a bad expression. (In yasmins, she was wearing make-up in both pictures, that was just from when she was using drugs). Angelina Jolie, of course, still looks gorgeous to me! Why do you want to "quit make-up"? Well, my advice is to just slowly wear less and less. Get regular facials.

Re: Make Up makes a BIG difference( major differen
I can't give it up. I try to not wear foundation anymore but I just can't my face isn't clear anymore. I have tried not wearing foundation for two months while I was home and wasn't going anywhere. I have a little redness and acne scars. And my face is white and my body is tan. I don't know why it's like this when I don't even tan. Seems like the foundation sucked out all of the color out of my face. It's weird especially in the bright light. My face is so white without make up and looks wierd especially because my body has color.
MY face is hella pale its white and my body is tan.
I have acne scars and redness. and it looks no good.

Re: Make Up makes a BIG difference( major differen
I suggest self tanner for the face. I have redness too and it evens out my skin tone and does a great job of hiding blemishes. I think it will answer a lot of your problems. I say take it one day at a time. Go to the store without foundation and a little mascara & lip gloss. Why do you care if someone at Walmart sees you not at your best?
Everybody already said what I was thinking. The shots with makeup were also professional shots with poses, lighting and AIRBRUSHING. The shots without makeup were mostly caught off guard with bad lighting. Who looks sexy stuffing a hamburger in their face and picking their nose? (No, I didn't see any picks like this, just trying to make a point.) Actually, I thought a lot of the girls looked just as pretty and more natural without makeup.

Re: Make Up makes a BIG difference( major differen
I have the same issue. My face is always white compared to the rest of my body, which is really tan. Part of it is because I go to the tanning salon but I don't want wrinkles so I cover my face with a towel. It doesn't look cute if I don't do anything about it. Luckily it's easy to fix that problem. Use a self tanner on your face. I put it on at night after I wash my face. Make sure you use something non oily so it won't cause zits. Neutrogena makes a good self tanner. For some reason fake tan doesn't last as long on the face as it does on the body, so you have to keep using it almost every night. At least that way your face won't be pale and you don't need make-up.
Also, bronzing powder is wonderful! You can use it with or with out foundation. It makes a huge difference, I use the stuff everyday. That way if you want to go out with out doing a full make-up job you can just dust on some bronzer with a big puffy brush. My 'no make-up' days are actually a little bronzing powder with mascara and lip-gloss.

For the acne, etc, get yourself to a dermatologist! You can get your skin to look better and it will make you feel better.

Re: Make Up makes a BIG difference( major differen
Your face is probably whiter than your body because of sunscreen in your make-up. For your acne scars, a dermatologist can get rid of those. I still don't understand why you don't want to wear make-up ???

Re: Make Up makes a BIG difference( major differen
jesus!! That website just made my day!! I'm not the ugliest without make up. lol

Re: Make Up makes a BIG difference( major differen
I think we all have the same issues -
if you are pale - then tan or use a face tanner or if the face tanner gets caught in your acne scars or pores then use a big fat face brush and just dust on some bronzer.
there are other methods of grooming that enhance your appearance withpout caking on make up -
eyelash curlers - THE BOMB! Go to a salon and get your lashes tinted/dyed black, to further the effect.
always keep a lightly tinted chapstick in your pocket or purse - I am such a throwback to being a kid I still use lip smackers...but the small tint of color plus keeping your lips smooth is a bonus.
Have your brows professional shaped, this can go a long way to overall appearance. And keep the effort up.
Minimum effort minimum make up and one last thing - the more you stress on it the worse you are gonna look! SMile, thats a trick no make up can match -
SMILE, it increases your face value!

A lot of those women look pretty good without makeup.

Hey Legend,
I have to agree with Bella. I used to feel the same way. I had acne in middle school and early high school and that image has still stuck w/ me for all these years.
I have been experimenting with wearing a lot less make up and have gone to a good derm to deal with my now really occasional acne.
I actually get compliments on my complexion! This never happened when I was trying to mask my face w/ foundation and lots of powder :(
Cheers,
Corey

Re: Make Up makes a BIG difference( major differen
It's alright. Some people just don't like to go out of the house without makeup on. It's cool - I've got rosacea, so when my rosacea is acting up, I'm not even about to step outside to get the paper without some foundation and powder on.
You can make the "no makeup" look work...
Foundation and powder
Light blush (I usually use coral, but you can experiment)
A light eyeshadow in brown. My favorite is made by Lorac. I think the color is called Harmony.
Mascara, and some lipgloss, and away I go!
If your hand with eyeliner, you can line your eyes as well (use the point of the pencil, and get as close to the lashline as you can!)
And, on the site that you linked to - the picture of Catherine Zeta-Jones with no makeup? Take a second look at that pic - she looks like she's about 12 years old! Her at 12, and her NOW is no kind of comparison at all! :O

Re: Make Up makes a BIG difference( major differen
Resting day and making movies makes a big difference. Just think about how you look when you're not stripping and when you are. Off time I still wear makeup when I go out, but I catch myself sometimes putting on a shitload of makeup like I'm working and my college friends stop and stare and are like: Divyne we just really love you, but you can't go out with us tonite. It always stops me in my tracks and makes me laugh b/c sometimes I really don't realize what I'm making myself up for- work or normal nights.
I like the me I see when I wake up in the morning, but I do notice that I spend more time staring at the made up me than the not made up me. I can't live without eyeliner b/c I love the way they intensify the shape of my eyes. I love my eyebrow pencil b/c they emphasize the little spaces on my face that genetics gave me to work with. But, I don't not love the me I see without makeup. I feel sexy and wonderful but more so with my makeup and hair extensions. I think its a woman thing.

Re: Make Up makes a BIG difference( major differen
OMG lol How do you girlies find this stuff!!! I couldn't stop laughing about the site!! Although it did make me feel better (I added it to my favorites to look at when I feel ugly) Jees Alicia Silverstone looked horrible along with Maria Shriver. I thought Angelina Jolie looked good though. Makeup is a life saver for eveyone I think!! :)

Re: Make Up makes a BIG difference( major differen
That is real funny. :D That is how I feel without make up too. I never like to look people in the face when I don't have any make up on. I look not pretty at all as I am with make up on. It's the truth I'm not going to put myself in denial about it. Many girls do look like sh*t without make up on. AND that's The ReaL deaL !!Even my own family tell me I look like sh*t without make up on :o ;D. And I know they're not lying. Beacuse it's true, many girls try to act as if they look pretty without make up but in reality they know that when they look in the mirror and see theirselves they don't smile as much as they do when they look into the mirror with make up on. . And does not look in the mirror as much as they do with make up on. When we look good we like to check our selves out,, much more. When I have make up on I find myself looking into the mirror more. And when I look into the mirror with make up on I SMiLe :) We all hate to admit we're ugly period. That's just how it be.
Good Luck!! ;)

Re: Make Up makes a BIG difference( major differen
Promise I totally DISAGREE with your respnse. I felt as though it was negative and bitter. Most girls "AREN"T UGLY" as you said. Have you heard such a thing as NATURAL BEAUTY. As you said "We all hate to admit were ugly.That just how it be." How could you say that? Most beautiful women I've worked with already have bad body images. So you saying this on the thread doesn't help anything. Makeup isn't going to hide anything or make you something your not it just HELPS make you prettier. I love makeup and all but we don't need to be wearing it all the time to have a good body image. Were already pretty with natural beauty. Saying were ALL ugly was rude and distaseful. >:(

Thank you for saying what I was thinking Shedevil.
I think many girls do look pretty without makeup, it's called natural beauty, as Shedevil already stated. Promise, you must have a very unhealthy idea of what "ugly" and "pretty" means. I never wear makeup unless I am at work, or going out (which is once a month). My face feels much cleaner without it. I do look much more glamorous with makeup, and "plain jane" with out it, but definitely not ugly. I'm not in denial either. I use makeup to enhance what I already have, not change my face from ugly to pretty.

Re: Make Up makes a BIG difference( major differen
Ok, my bad if I said it wrong. I meant to say (most) girls looks like shit without any make up on, not everbody has (natural beauty) got to admit that! And what I said was that no one likes to admit their ugly... I don't say that I'm ugly. I just say that I look unattractive without make up. YOu see Jennifer lopez on that pic... with and without make up. Yes that is how I look like without make up. I'm not going to say I'm ugly but it's just pure paleness and nothing attractive.
YOu see how Ashanti or Britney Spears looks without make up.... Tell me that is natural beauty. Please...
Don't hate... I'm just being real.. ::)
