FabSwingers.com forum: Make up, could you give it up?

By (user no longer on site) OP

Maybe its a year of being out of practice but I put some make up on today and i wasnt keen on how i looked. It lead me to wonder, if after so long of not wearing it, if there was a point to going back.

Could you permanently give up wearing make up?

I certainly don't wear make up every day, but I don't think I could totally give it up. I love to wear make up on a night out or for a fab meet, as I like to make an effort. I feel more confident for a night out/meet with make up on.

I go through phases of wearing a little every day or months of not wearing any. I could give it up, but I don't feel like doing so at the moment.

Never really wear it (except on very rare occasions) prefer myself without as it feels weird when I do

I only tend wear makeup for going out anyway, so yes I could.

Partly because I can't see to put it on unless I am wearing contact lenses...

Most days now I only do my brows and put mascara on. Bit of lippy if I'm leaving the house.

Can definitely live without the rest.

I rarely wear it these days.

I have this weekend as I wanted to make an effort and felt good putting my face on.

I wouldn’t want not live without it as I enjoy using it. But it’s not a daily thing.

Also I have semi permanent makeup (tattooed brows and lips) so that also helps.

Yes, in fact most days when I'm not working, it's a miracle if I'm wearing mascara.

I'm lucky to have pretty good skin though

I've gone the complete opposite way during lockdown. I've started to get much more in to my makeup. So much so that I'm considering doing a Mua course at night school.

I love it. From natural say makeup, big night out makeup and costume type stuff.

I have a little makeup room now

Oh yes! First day I worked from home and went on teams without makeup on I was mortified lol now even if I don't want to wear a full face I'll use some Dr jart cicapair cream that covers redness etc.

I am happy fresh faced and natural 90% of the time. I don't wear any makeup to work aside from a quick dusting of face powder.

I like how I look however with a full face of makeup, but save wearing it mainly for special occasions and nights out.

No chance I could give it up. I don't have to be glam at work but I do have to look like I've made an effort in my appearance.

I'm also not comfortable being make up-less at work.

I’ve not worn make up in over a year. However, if we were to have a social or meet I would always wear make up. I have mild rosacea on my cheeks and can get quite conscious of it. Make up helps me feel more confident, same when attending special events or taking photos.

I only really wear mascara, I look like a bloody clown with much more on... I think most women look better with less or none on tbf... When I was younger, we wore it to make us look older... When does it start making you look younger?

Easily. I don't wear any make up unless I'm going out out. I've even popped to the pub with none on.

To be honest, I feel more comfortable without makeup, and I send non made up face pics to men who ask for a photo on here.

I never started wearing it really. I did a wee bit when I was younger but never worn it daily. I honestly can't remember the last time I wore make-up. We're talking years and years ago now.

I have to wear makeup, but luckily not in my everyday life. The people who want to meet me as my feminine self, would be a bit shocked if I wasn’t wearing it

No. I don't go out without make up.

My skin is my biggest insecurity, acne and the scarring left behind added to the fact I was a pro makeup artist for years means I'm rarely seen without a face on, certainly not in public.

Now I've got a handle on the acne, I'm going to look into some fillers to even out my skin again. I hope then I'll feel better bare faced

up a bit, right a bit...that's the spot

I don't wear it every day anyway, but usually for a night out or client meeting (my colleagues can have my bare face) as it just evens my skin tone and I feel more polished...I only wear very natural looking makeup, perhaps a bit heavier on the eyeliner and mascara for a night out.

Day to day it's rare that I wear make up but I love putting it on and especially on night out/fab meets the getting ready and doing my make up is lots of fun! And definitely helps with my confidence so I could but don't want to give it up

I don't wear makeup day to day. I try if I'm going out. But I usually end up crying and not wanting to go.

I stopped wearing make up over this past year - but have recently started wearing it again - it makes me feel so much better about myself.

So no I don't want to give it up
