Re: Has anybody ever said you wear *TOO MUCH* makeup?

i HATE when people say "you don't NEED all that makeup on". so what? i flipping WANT it on! the other day i was bored waiting for my bf to finish work, its like 9:00 at night and i figured i'd play with some makeup. i just had normal foundation and blush on. and i blended a light purple, light turquoise and a white shimmer colour (plus liner and mascara). i thought it looked super cute. as SOON as i walked downstairs my mom looks at me and goes "whoa thats too much makeup" to which i immediately responded "how would you know? you don't even wear makeup" and then she said she was only trying to "help". so i said well you're not, i can do what i want. and then she got all mad.
BUT later, my dad saw me and said "your makeup looks very nice today" so i said "thank you....mom said i was wearing too much" and you know what he said??? here it is: "yea but you know what? your mom doesn't wear any makeup"
lol! i was like exactlyyyyy! felt weird getting makeup approved by my dad and not my mom haha.

well earlier on i was in this chat room for my local area which i sometimes go on to see if any of my mates are on... but today i was chatting to some nice people then some girl comes on and starts slatin me for no reason "you wear too much makeup.. looks like a makeup box exploded on your face" and "you peroxide slut" and "you need a shovel to get it all off"

i dont know why she said peroxide slut because ive NEVER died my hair lol apart from a few highlights couple times a year

but as for my profile.. i do have pics on there where im wearing makeup (mostly pics ive posted on here as FOTD's and normal ones.. some with my bf too and some ready to go clubbin)
i understand some people hate makeup but to be honest why do people need to judge too much? it pisses me off soo much

not to mention the girl who said it didnt have a pic of her on her profile which was abit weird (maybe shes soo ugly!) lol but yeh, i used to get shit like this in school getting comments how i wear too much makeup when they were girls who wore WAYY more than me but they never got shit

Its also funny because i do love makeup but i dont wear it much... maybe twice a week if that? and when im at college i wear abit of foundation, set it with powder, mascara, blush and a lipgloss or neutral lipstick

I thought this would be a good discussion to put on here as we are all makeup lovers... and when i thought about it, i dont wear that much makeup at all. But obviously i think some girls get jealous and start slating because they have nothing nice to say... my boyfriend hasnt got a problem at all, he loves me without makeup but he knows how much i love it so he buys me mac when new collections come out, he loves that i collect something and enjoy it.. just like he loves his football i love my makeup!

soo what about you guys?
Sounds like she's jealous! No one would just attack you for no reason like that unless they had a reason to. I don't think it has anything to do with your makeup or hair at all. Like I said, she's probably just bitter and jealous because she doesn't look like you!

Re: Has anybody ever said you wear *TOO MUCH* makeup?

My mom tells me that sometimes LOL. So I dont care. She thinks that Only ''natural'' colors suit me. So When I wear Greens or blues or bright pinks she is like OOOOOOOOOOOOO and im like *leaves*. Sometimes at school I get commetns like: wow that must have taken you so long. But It makes me feel good when I walk out the door. Its something I enjoy doing. I cant wait to wake up in the morning and start painting my eyes! I obviously am smart enough to judge and say: Oh look Lauren. You have 10 min. to get ready. Maybe you shouldnt waste time on make up. But when I do have time. I look forward to it!

Re: Has anybody ever said you wear *TOO MUCH* makeup?

People have said things to me before like "Uhh Jess, we're just going to get lunch, do you really need to put all of that crap on?" or "Oh man, Jessica has to go get ready to see no one" but I dont look at it like that. I think first impressions are everything and since when is it bad for someones first impression of me to be that I like to take care of myself? To most people e/s=too much make up. But besides that, people usually say crap like that because they are jealous of you! They try to talk everyones ear off about how your fake because not only do they want people to think you aren't really that pretty, but they want to believe it their selves. Next time, tell her that if shes so worried that your prettier than her, that you will give her a complimentary makeover so she will keep her unglossed lips shut about you.

This is an actual convo I had with a Hater a couple of months ago:

Hater- Why do you wear so much make up?
Me- Why do you have so many basketball shoes?
Hater-Uhh...because I love basketball.
Me-Interesting...so what was your question again?

Re: Has anybody ever said you wear *TOO MUCH* makeup?

I hate it how people will come up with the perception that people who wear makeup are insecure about their looks. I get occasional comments on my youtube of some randoms talking about how I look fine without makeup and don't get why I bother to spend so much money and time on it. It really offends me. I should be able to have a harmless hobby too. Just because I choose to paint my face rather than paint murals or collect coins. They think they can just have assumptions of someone they don't even know by watching them apply makeup for 10 minutes. Obviously if one was watching a video of someone shooting another person then a lot can be assumed of that person within that 10 minutes but this is just makeup folks.

Re: Has anybody ever said you wear *TOO MUCH* makeup?

I have been told I wore too much makeup and oddly enough it was when I had on foundation, light neutral shadow, mascara and neutral pink lipgloss. People are just weird.

Re: Has anybody ever said you wear *TOO MUCH* makeup?

I've never had that comment before about wearing too much, but I hate when you're sitting there with a full face of make up and then someone who is there wearing just some liner or whatever says:
"Yeah, i don't like wearing too much make up..i've NEVER worn foundation" really proud of themselves - like they're SO above cosmetics, or that there is something dirty about it.
my sister in law ALWAYS does that
i feel like saying
"well done you - have a cookie"

but instead i sit there going on about what I have on that day - brands, names and all, like "fuck you" lol

I never really understand the sentiment behind that kind of comment, but it feels Soo snidey

Re: Has anybody ever said you wear *TOO MUCH* makeup?

I love to wear bold and colorful makeup, I have nice big eyes and I like to play them up! But Ive gotten those comments especially from my husbands family, which eh, I could care less, I mean if you could see his sister and her hair... and then her 'makeup bag' Im glad Im me. Sometimes it hurts my feelings, because its like why would you take the time out of your day just to put someone down for something that has nothing to do with you???? my niece is graduating high school and for her present i wanted to send her some MAC and my sis in law was like...well not everyone gets off on stuff like that, you might as well send her money instead, im sure she could use it more.

Re: Has anybody ever said you wear *TOO MUCH* makeup?

So far noone has said anything rude to my face.
Infact I think it has helped me gain respect amongst people. My husband sometimes complains that i take too long putting it on though.
I like makeup more for a creativity outlet than to cover up flaws, but hey thats a bonus for me, lol.

Re: Has anybody ever said you wear *TOO MUCH* makeup?

I think most women in general like to be snarky to other women especially when you see something you like on them they act jealous. Instead they should just be like Hey I like your makeup, boots..whatever is on them..give them a compliment, ask them where they got it..or even ask for a makeup tip.

Re: Has anybody ever said you wear *TOO MUCH* makeup?

ooooo. Another thing, Im originally from a bigger city so you know more stuff was going on there obviously, style/hair/makeup wise then we moved to this extreme bible belt area which is fine, but I went to cosmetology school here and Ive always been into makeup, lots of girls I went to school with didnt even know what MAC was. (so I had to school them, haha) but anyhow, a few of the 'seniors' when I started would tell me things like, 'o is MAC like an ethnic line?' or 'hmmm...people with more of a tan can pull off those colors...if I wore them Id look like a street walker' (that was in fact one of the instructors....lmao) And seriously I like to push it sometimes, but not enough to warrant those comments. people are craaaa-sssiee!!!

Re: Has anybody ever said you wear *TOO MUCH* makeup?

I have never been told I WEAR too much makeup, but I have been told that I HAVE too much makeup. Honestly, I don't feel comfortable NOT wearing makeup. If someone has a problem with that, then to hell with them!

As far as the girl in the chatroom, well, I am SURE she is jealous. You are GORGOEUS, and if you had pictures up, then she can see just how beautiful you are. I am sure that she doesn't have any pictures up so that she can harass others online without them being able to slam her back. Personally, I wouldn't give her the satisfaction of a backlash from you. She is trying to get a rise out of people, and if she knows it bothers them, she will continue. It is really sad that some people have such a low self esteem that they have to put down others in order to make themselves feel better. Don't worry, you don't wear too much makeup. From everything I have seen from you, your makeup is always very tastefully done and accentuates your natural beauty (BTW, I just tried to add you on myspace and it wouldn't let me )

Re: Has anybody ever said you wear *TOO MUCH* makeup?

I get told I wear too much makeup all the time. I don't give a damn. Just the other day I was at a closing and the freakin' Realtor told me I wore to much makeup. Then my client agreed. Who the hell are these people?

I know it is Houston and it's hot and humid and if I sweat I will look like a cake, but I go to great lengths with blotting papers to make sure this does not happen.

Also, I don't give a rat's ass if someone has a problem with the amount of makeup I'm wearing. It's their problem, not mine. I think the biddy who made a comment about your makeup on the internet was a tool. You're beautiful and you make me sick (in a good way).

Sometimes I feel like whipping out my MSF and my piggies and going to town on some of these so called "natural beauties". Natural beauty my ass. I just want to tell them that there is still prep work involved in the natural look, and it didn't payoff!!!!!!!! JMO.

Re: Has anybody ever said you wear *TOO MUCH* makeup?

I got this comment once from a guy, and all I was doing was putting on some eyeliner...

Well, I wasted no time telling him that instead of commenting on my makeup, he should concentrate on washing his hands after using the bathroom... Yea, i got pissed off!

Re: Has anybody ever said you wear *TOO MUCH* makeup?

I've see your tutorials, and I think you're pretty w/ or w/o makeup. And her comments were totally un-needed.

As for the too much makeup comments, my mom tells me I do. But she doesn't know what she's talking about.

Ooooh Lord, I know EXACTLY what you mean. I really went through the same thing 3 years ago when I moved down south. Some girl was going through my make up bag and was like "Jesus girl, what is this stuff??" A lot of my friends think I'm some crazy fashionista/make up extraordinare/hair stylin' genius but really, it's not even that deep, it's all simple stuff lol. Go on youtube & watch a make up tutorial (or come on specktra!), buy some good conditioner, and read the fashion section in cosmo. Voila! You are now a "crazy fashionista/make up extraordinare/hair stylin' genius"

Re: Has anybody ever said you wear *TOO MUCH* makeup?

It's funny because I don't think I've ever had a girl say that to me. It's probably because they're too distracted with talkin shit on my style to notice my makeup.

Guys though, yea. They'll tell me I'm prettier without it. I like it though and to me it's something fun and creative so I wear it and that's that. Or they think girls who wear it are high maintenence.
glam8babe, you're lucky to have a bf like that, and you're gorgeous so that chick had to be jealous. I hate girls that talk shit like that when they don't even put their own pics up.

Re: Has anybody ever said you wear *TOO MUCH* makeup?

but just think for everyone one person that says that you wear too much makeup, there are what two that turn around and say, 'girl your look is hawt!!' i mean dont you love it when you can walk into a place and someone notices something like your eyeliner??? i dont mind being the center of attention! haha. we went out to dinner the other night and i had a smokey black eye with a teal eyeliner and it looked nice, and not over done and the waitress and someone from two tables over commented on how pretty my eyes were. so its all good. the haters can keep hatin'!!!!!

Re: Has anybody ever said you wear *TOO MUCH* makeup?

Nope, but I try to keep makeup sexy and not over done. I wear dramatic looks, but only when they look good with what I wear n where I am going. I adore makeup BUT I dont like too much on people wearing t shirts or informal stuff.... It can be 2 much in my opinion, but we should all wear what makes us feel good!

Re: Has anybody ever said you wear *TOO MUCH* makeup?

recently, i bumped into my ex-boyfriend's gf and she told my brother, "wow, I didn't know your sister wears "that much makeup"?" I was offended when she said that because i've never said anything bad about her, I was always minding my own business and here she is criticizing the way I look. I don't understand why people would have to be so harsh to other people by the way they look. People can apply their makeup any way they want. We all have our own opinions and creativity on our looks and it just makes us feel comfortable. I guess people are just jealous and they take their jealousy on people so that they can feel better. just ignore her and don't let her get to you, she's ignorant and immature. Your gorgeous by the way and just wear your makeup anyway you want. whatever makes you feel happy and comfortable and remember don't let the negative things get to you. =)

Re: Has anybody ever said you wear *TOO MUCH* makeup?

I haven't been told I wear too much, but I have been told I OWN too much many many times, mostly from family. Only a few of my friends know how much makeup I actually have! They think it's all in my makeup bag when I stay overnight, when I have a mini sterlite 3 drawer crammed with other stuff I chose to leave behind.

It's like anything, if YOU like it that's what matters, and if you can't think of anything nice to say, maybe you shouldn't say anything at all. I hate when people get some sick satisfaction from demeaning someone else.

Whenever I go anywhere, even if it's just to the grocery store to buy paper towels, I put on makeup, do my hair and wear nice(though casual) clothes.
Some family and friends have complained that I "make them feel like a slob," because they opt to go bare-faced, hair hanging limp, in worn out, oversized clothes.
My sister, especially, liked to whine to our mother about how I made her feel "like a slug" when we'd go to the mall together.
I didn't feel at all bad. My attitude was, "If I make some effort with my appearance, and you don't, and I end up looking nicer than you, that's not my fault."
If I had dolled up deliberately just to try to make someone else feel bad about the way she looked, that would have been wrong of me, but that's not how it was.
I am the same way as you are. People always ask me what I am all dressed up for. I'm like: nothing, it's not dressing up It may be dressing up compared to sweatshirt, bagging pants, and crocs ... But I just want to look put together anywhere I go. That's all
About make-up, one of my male friends said that to me and I was like ok (while thinking I don't care at all what you think, makeup-illiterate ) But I never have rainbow eyes on outside the house so maybe that's why I haven't got all those comments.

What is the *deal?*
Why do some people seem to feel so threatened when someone else looks put together?
Are they *that* insecure?
If so, I think the best course would be for these people to put more time and effort into their own appearance, so they could feel better about themselves.
It's not rocket science, after all ...
As a teen, I developed my style by reading magazines, especially Seventeen, and by experimentation.
