How do you look w/o makeup?

[tylda1969]

OMG, I thought that looked like Yasmine, but I thought, no way! When is that picture from? I very rarely have no makeup on. I usually have it on at home too. I hate my skin and don't like to be w/o mu.

I often get asked if I'm ok, makeup makes me look a lot healthier.

Sometimes pale skin can be more transparent and you can always see the dark circles through your skin -- I have very pale skin and have had dark circles since early high school, even though my sleep patterns, diet, and medication have undergone various changes throughout the years! Just something us pale-skin people have to deal with I guess!

I'm surprised how many of you get asked if you're sick without makeup! But I guess it's been a long time since I've gone anywhere except a quick run to the store without makeup, so maybe people would ask me too! I do have pale skin, but I'm still pale with makeup so probably only the dark circles would make me look sick! But honestly I hate my acne more than my dark circles, I thought I would be growing out of acne problems now that I'm almost 24!

I can honestly say I can go without makeup and look fine, the only problem is that people think my son is my brother when I do that. I don't think I look THAT young without makeup, but I do always get little high school boys hitting on me! I hate it!

(hey, OT, but did things happen with the Benefit store in Berkeley?)

Oh I envy those of you who can venture out w/o makeup...not that I don't love makeup! Just, when I'm really in a hurry and just need to pop into the drugstore or something, ya know?

That reminds me, Philosphy has this campaign going called "Makeup Optional Skin" which refers to their skin care. Sounds pretty good to me! Anyone tried it?

I leave the house w/out makeup frequently, so I think I look ok w/out it. I've always liked my makuep to enhance my features & not be come my look.

hmmm... haven't heard of it - but I like Philosophy - so I'm guessing it will be good too!

lol, I look young no matter what I wear! I'm 23 (24 in 3 months) and in grad school, and people are always mistaking me for a 19-year-old college sophomore or something! (Though I've been trying to find more age-appropriate makeup and clothes lately so maybe that will help!) When I was looking for wedding dresses last year, people often gave me weird looks until I told them how old I was -- I guess they thought I was some sort of child bride!
