    Default Why is make-up so important?

    I keep seeing remarks about girls who "don't even bother putting on make-up", as if not wearing make-up is a bad thing. Why is it absolutely necessary to wear make-up? I put just as much effort into my shows as someone who dolls up their face. I think that I have a naturally pleasant face, and I don't HAVE to wear make-up. I'm horrible at applying it, and I think that I look worse with it on. So why does everyone talk down about models who don't? It's not like I'm rolling out of bed and turning on the cam, or not getting ready. I spend at least thirty minutes getting ready for a show; I'll put on an outfit, take it off, and go through five different outfits before I'm satisfied. I'll spend twenty minutes getting my hair just right, and looking for the perfect accessories. I use a little bit of concealer and MAYBE some powder to hide it when I have a blemish break-out; I just don't wear make-up. Why is this such a big deal for everyone?



    I like the soulful sounds of explosions, romantic walks to the fridge,
    and sometimes making designers cry.

    I didn't mean to come across as saying that no one should wear it. I just don't understand why people think EVERYONE has to wear it. If you wear make-up, then fine, that's your thing, and I won't judge you for it. I'm just tired of being judged and considered lazy just because I don't feel that I need to wear make-up.

    i never wear makeup, except for camming, because i look awful on cam without it. (i look just fine in real life.) i don't care if camgirls wear makeup or not...i've seen a few who wear too much makeup and a few who look great with no makeup at all.

    Chances are if the remark is made this not someone who has a face that looks good on cam naturally. I look pretty much the same with and with out, but the lights wash out my lips so i always wear gloss and i like to add drama to the eye so I do that, I may use more depending on the the lights are.

    Because the camera is cruel as fuck. I could get away with no makeup in real life but on camera, I look horrible. But that's anyone. That's why celebrities wear so much on camera. Not because they're ugly but because you look totally different on cam without it. And generally they wear studio makeup which is ten times thicker than what most people wear.

    But if you look fine without it, don't wear it.

    I to only wear make up when I am on cam. I am bad at wearing it. I found a you tube video with a look I like and tried it. I keep it the same except some times I change out my lip color. I make more money know that I wear it. It also seems to make me feel more confident

    I think the guys saying that we're referring to girls who look like they put no effort into anything. You have to remember that not only are you selling your personality, your looks do sometimes come into play. Not saying that everyone has to wear makeup!!! Because when I'm not camming I never wear makeup and look fine but when I do cam I wear literally 10 pounds of makeup.

    If you look and feel good without it, and are making money, then it really shouldn't matter. I've seen a few girls who seem to not wear any makeup and they look gorgeous regardless. It's all just a personal preference.

    Well makeup is made to enhance your beauty so first look at that. That comment obviously had to bother you if you're really concerned about it. My thing is if your customers told you that or other people take it as constructive criticism. Also it can be your lighting. Honestly I'm black but I'm browned skin I wear my natural hear on cam but I make it look really pretty sometimes I can get away with putting on just eyeshadow and I do great other times I get on and I need to put on foundation and everything else. At the end of the day do whatever makes you happy and be confident with it because confidence exudes over negativity. Good luck

    THIS. I forgot to add. I also wear circle lenses which make my eyes appear larger. I really go all out when I do my makeup for camming. Highlight, contour, smokey eye, circle lenses, fake eyelashes, the whole shebang!

    I usually wear just concealer for my dark circles, but I rather have nicely done hair than make up. I can get away with not using make up.

    I guess it's hard to convey how I feel about it. No one has specifically called me out on it. It's one of those things that you just run across, and it sort of bites every time I see it. Usually when someone is describing a lazy camgirl, a girl who doesn't put much effort at all into her show, one of the things that gets mentioned is a lack of make-up. The email that I got from a site, updating everyone on their status, they mention how girls who are in "a tank top and no make-up" are letting other girls out-do them. I understand the gist behind it; no one wants to watch a girl who can't be bothered to look her best and actually TRY. I get that. I guess it just bites a little every time I see make-up as being crucial to webcam success, because for me, looking my best is sans-make-up, on or off-cam. Even on cam, it wouldn't feel right, wouldn't look right. So I'm not calling anyone out; no one has actually judged me specifically for it, and no one's really getting judged for make-up specifically. It's just one of those little things... insecurity, I suppose.

    It's strange; I get guys in my room sometimes saying the absolute worst things about me, and I'm able to tell them off, laugh it off, ban them, and get on, and it doesn't bother me much. It's when other people who do the same thing that I do say things that aren't even directed at me, and aren't even meant to be negative; that's when I start to question myself again. So it's a personal issue, really. I need to learn to deal with things like that, because I'm good at what I do; my target audience loves me for what I do, even if it is different in a subtle way. So my apologies; I didn't mean to start drama or anything; it was just something that ate at me every time I saw mention of it at all, and I sort of snapped.



    I like the soulful sounds of explosions, romantic walks to the fridge,
    and sometimes making designers cry.

    It's important to have a particular look, especially as a cam girl. You're there to be (almost) every guy's fantasy. Without makeup, I look washed out on cam. I may consider getting some studio makeup. (I can get hooked up from someone I know.) It's my hair that I don't know what to do with! I'm considering getting a wig.

    I think when that comment is made they're thinking of someone who looks like they just rolled out of bed and the hair isnt done and they're dressed in their grubbies and havent put any effort into their appearance. I dont believe the comment is about makeup specifically.

    Some women look great with minimal or no makeup on.

    Yeah, that's what I'm assuming. I just took it way too personally after a while of seeing it. No one's fault but mine and my insecurities. ^-^

    Guys like a girl that putt time and effort into her self to look good( make up is way to show that) Think about that fact mosts guys wife/girls are into dressing up for them or wearing make up SO I think guys like to see you all dressed up and if you are wearing make they know you took time.....also some of the models that you see that look very natural are where making....

    I think if you're naturally blessed or no makeup is your "thing" then great, but otherwise every girl should make an effort. It's not rocket science - women look better with makeup, and it implies a level of self interest and care!

    i wear a bit of mascara (makes my eyes not look so small) and sometimes lipgloss. and the other day i did a bit more (eyeliner, a bit of contoring, smudge of eyeshadow) and my room hated it LOL. i think i just go for the girl-next-door look. i also do better when wearing a plain tank top rather then all made up. i guess it just depends on your clientelle. personally i dont think any girl NEEDS makeup. but if it makes you more confident then by all means!

    Default Re: Why is make-up so important?

    If u see me on cam w.o make up u'll not recognize me at all, i am not a natural beauty but with make up on i can look nice, sexy and hot, i am a perfectionist (i cam since 2001 and have a degree in plastic arts), i wanna look my best on cam for my members and even i do my best to get ready for work i still get trolls insulting me so what can i say? if nature was not too generous with us we need to help it, if u look good w.o make up then ok, dont wear any.
    anyway, i dont wanna give names but i saw on cam girls w.o make up on and looking terrible, i mean bohhh, if u dont look that good and u dont even bother to make urself look good then i call it laziness, not aware of what is required to work in this industry, ignorance and such, i mean this girl has acne and wearing thick lenses glasses, she will wear her hair badly and looking really dirty/ not washed, her demeanor is terrible, how can this be sexy at all? maybe just to some guys looking for ugly girls eh? i think the comments u heard were directed to this kind of models, that are not looking good by nature and not making any effort to help mother nature; for me is a pain in the ass to make up every time i wanna work and it has to be a proper make up otherwise i look like a dead person lol and simply ugly haha. i wish i could just shower, do my hair and get on cam w.o make up but its not working for me. on cam is like on stage, if u wanna have success u need to prepare urself, there are just a few lucky enough not in need to wear make up but as i said, that girl i saw on cam, she might consider she dont need it but i believe she needs lots of make up and to work out her appearance and style. but maybe for her and her customers is just ok like this. No offence taken pls, i dont wanna insult anyone, i talk about pure aesthetics.
    In fact it's all about the way u feel about urself and how ur customers like the way u look, at the end the money u make are the measurement of your success.
