I remember I was wearing MACs "Fresh Water" once [for those who don't know, it's an electric blue] and my mom was like "EW! That's way too much make up!" So I just went back into the bathroom...and put on some more LMAO
LOL haha you're so funny

I love your response, i'm gonna say that to the people who always comment on how much make up i wear :P

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

Along the same lines, a couple of my parents friends have said things like "your lipstick is too dark" and "why don't you wear light colors" and "why don't you wear pink" etc, etc. No one else seems to care. My two best friends (male) tell me I look hot with dark lipstick.

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

I used to get it all the time when I first started venturing into makeup when I was 14, but really all I wore was eyeliner and eyeshadow back then. I wear loads more different stuff now but recently I rarely get that "too much makeup" comment... psch.. I think it's only cuz my APPLICATION has gotten better, and actually people say that I'm "sooo pretty!" only when I've got my full face on! Ha.
I used to have this friend who always told me it was too much, she even went as far as "Don't wear a lot of makeup when you're around me". >=(
Lately I don't get called out for wearing much, it's quite the opposite now. But I don't take crap from people who tell me that it's too much when either 1)they need it 2)they never wear it and 3)they're plain ignorant/boring.
From people who don't ever wear it, who are they to tell you that it's too much or not? Obviously if they don't know jack shit about it, they are in no place to judge, I think.
As for those net haters, don't pay any mind to them, I also agree about the jealousy thing. She's probably really really unskilled and can't do it herself so she lashes out on someone who's obviously way better at something than she is so she's stuck looking like poo.

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

People haven't exactly said I WEAR too much make-up... but they have said I HAVE too much make-up...
My sister's boyfriend actually told me once: you know, if you saved all your make-up money, you could afford one big cosmetic surgery!
Haha... funny!

I work as a kindergarden teacher so I have to be "moderate" with my looks.

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

MU is what makes me feel beautiful, I don't feel that I am trying to hide behind something. I like it and I've been told that I'm a bit TOO obssesed and I don;t need it but WHATEVER !

I'm still going to wear it.

Funny how the people that say that to me are now trying to put on eyeliner and mascara, obviously its just a crocked line with clumped up spidery lashes. BTW, I saw them shopping for makeup.. I'd like to see the final result of they're application.

Guys have been telling me that I don't need that "stuff". Yeh well why do you stare at those women in your "men" magazine huh?

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

I got this a few days ago, I thought my makeup looked great. I'd spent ages applying and and making sure the eye shadows were blended well. It was for a family thing I was going too. One of my cousins turned round and told me I had too much makeup on, I had nude lip (fleshpot) and smokey eyes. It really made me feel really self conscious, then I realised that she was actually probably jealous, so it made me feel a lot better.

My dad always tells as long as I'm happy with what you're wearing, you really shouldn't care what others think

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

To be honest, there IS such thing as "too much makeup." It exists upon people who do not know how and where to wear their makeup appropriately. For instance, everyday people who see a woman on the street during the day with bright red or purple lips may say YUCK! what is she wearing?! but at night, in a club or downtown, people think nothing of it. It all depends on the perspective of the viewer, and how comfortable the person wearing the makeup is. Confidence is beauty, so if you got it, flaunt it.

Also, I know when I started wearing makeup (Age 13 or so) my mother would always tell me "Makeup is supposed to be put on to look natural." So I would wear brown liner, mascara, pink blush, and pink gloss. OH HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED! Especially by wearing and using MAC products, I have learned over the years about how makeup application is an ART. (Hence the name Makeup ARTIST!) Therefore, it is a form of expression. If someone wants to wear dark makeup or vibrant colors during the day, more power to them. I feel that way about fashion too. If you want to dye your hair green and wear a bright yellow and orange polka dot dress, go for it. Just do it with confidence, and don't care what passerbyers say about you.

And if you ARE going to be self conscious about what you are wearing on your face, and feel the need to defend it constantly, then maybe take a step back, and find colors and pigments that work with your skin tone and that you can feel completely and utterly comfortable walking down the street in. Self-esteem, although it is inside, tends to show outside. I can spot a person with high-self-esteem a mile away, and can smell someone with no confidence if they are standing next to me. That is the key to life, in my opinion, and I think if you are talented enough to apply beautiful makeup and be proud of your talents and abilities, then go for it!

I think you're absolutely on target!
People who pick others apart are generally unhappy, insecure and immature. The girl who raged at you in the chat room sounds like she has a real personality disorder. I'd detach from her, completely.
As for the others in your life who feel compelled to give you unsolicited "advice," they just sound like they have way too much spare time. If I were you, I'd be tempted to say, "I don't seem to recall asking you."
You could also employ Ann Landers' famous line: "I'm sure you mean to be helpful ..."
Anyone who has that much time to spend criticizing others has NO life. :

Most men simply do not "get it" about makeup.
The few who do are usually tremendous fun, though.

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

I actually get that from my boyfriend but I did get a comment on my blog, of course it wasn't as outrageous as yours was. This was what I got:
"girls,go easy on the chemicals you put on your skin hahah"

I viewed his blog and he had a bunch of e-books for playboy. I'm thinking "how would you like to look at your playboy bunnies without their makeup?"

anyway, do what you like. if you like makeup, it's for yourself. I used to care that I wear too much makeup to school compared to everyone else but now I'm just enjoying it. I have so much makeup. If I'm not gonna use it what am I supposed to do with it? paint the walls or something? lol

forget about those people who make those nasty comments! they're just jealous that you're so pretty and you have skills with makeup.

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?
I have gotten similar comments because of my love for rich bold make up colors. The person who stated that you are a slut. Your makeup and hair looks very tasteful. I like your makeup also. I see that you are not afraid of color and I like that.

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

Some girl at school once started pointing and laughing at me because I had this lipstick on that was quite bright. She was like OMGZ HAHAHA LOOK AT YOU. :/ You would think I had something stuck on my face by how she was acting. :/ I think thats put me off wearing lots of make up really, but I do wear a lot if I go out or if its for a special occasion.

I don't wear too much at work but I don't really care too much about how I look when i'm there. lol

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

I used to get comments about my make-up from one of my friends especially. She herself rarely wears makeup and when she does, it's very minimal. What she used to usually say was: "why are you so done up? we're only meeting to have coffee..". This was when we first started being friends. But lately, I notice she started to put on makeup whenever she's out with me, even other friends have noticed this.

Ha ha!
You know what they say about imitation ...
Has anyone ever complained to you all that you look "too nice"?
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.

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

OMG, I have been waiting for a topic like this to come up. There is this girl at my work that I cannot stand! I don't know if anyone will actually read this post, but I have to get this out and see what you guys think.

So there is this girl I work with (I work at a CCO btw) and she ALWAYS wears neutral colors. You can't even tell she has anything on her face. She looks like she goes makeup less everyday. Everyone at work says she looks really plain, and that nothing about her stands out.

Well, about a year ago me, her, and another girl were talking about people wearing different colors of makeup. I said "Yeah, people probably think I look like a clown." She started laughing and said "They do." I just stopped and looked at her and said "What?" She kept laughing and said "They think you look like a clown."

I don't wear my makeup any crazier than anyone else on here. It was some hairdresser that was doing her hair at some cheap-ass wannabe salon that wears makeup exactly like her that said "I can't believe someone would want to wear their makeup like that. What was she thinking? I don't know why anyone would want to look like that."

Well that was all over with. I find out last week she is STILL talking about my makeup behind my back. It drives me crazy because NO ONE ever compliments her on her makeup, but she hears people complimenting me every day.

There have been a couple times she has tried to wear bright colors, and then say "Brianna, I don't know how to do it." Then she'll turn right around and say it looks bad.

GRRR!!

So here is a picture of my brightest rainbow look. Do I look like a clown???

I think it's just wonderful(sarcasm alert) that this girl has such an abundance of spare time that she's free to devote herself entirely to critiquing your makeup.
What kind of job does this person have? She seems to be getting paid for essentially doing nothing. Nice work, if you can get it.

No, you don't look like a clown. What is that lipcolor you're wearing? It looks really great.
And you have beautiful eyes and brows.
You're just a pretty girl, and your co-"worker" probably feels envious and threatened, poor little washed out thing.

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

I think people see bright colors and automatically think "a lot of makeup". Usually my fast face is just a tinted moisturizer, concealer, paint pot on the eyes, brow fix, cheek color, face powder and gloss. I get compliments on how good my skin looks from time to time, and I can tell you it wouldn't look that way if I just shuffled in to work wearing absolutely no makeup!!

And for me putting on my makeup in the morning is just another step in my routine. Some people drink coffee...I put on makeup!

But you shouldn't care about them, you're a really pretty girl and they're probably just jealous because you have the guts to stand out from the crowd.
I'm very pale too and people used to call me "vampire" because my hair is dark and my skin is light and I would wear heavy eyeliner. (This was in high school.)

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

people can be so jealous & judgemental.

i guess i'm lucky that my FT job is with all girls & only 1 guy, so I usually get complimented on my MU & not anything nasty.

but my BF always tells me how great i look & that i don't even need makeup, but you KNOW he's just trying to score some points!
