A Possibly Controversial View on Make-Up

I'm spoiling you guys this week, two videos :) I hope nobody takes offense at this, I'm not saying that people who feel this way are wrong or anything, I just disagree with them personally. We are both correct.

The survey that inspired this video is here: http://www.stylelist.com/2011/01/13/women-wont-leave-home-without-makeup-study/

It is by no means a scientific survey and obviously it was probably biased towards one thing or another. I just think it's an interesting point of view.

I don't pay attention much to makeup... At least I don't think I do. I think you look fine, but I prefer you without makeup, probably because I'm used to it

[TresChic16]

@Justtubed Fair enough. Most people are used to me without make-up haha.

I agree with this completely. I hardly ever wear make-up, but I will feel like wearing it every so often. I like feeling pretty. But if I felt like I HAD to put on make-up, I would feel terrible. If I felt like I needed to for Dan I would probably slap him. =P Dan was attracted to me when I was sick and with no make-up. But I guess that might just be him. I have no disrespect for women who like to put on make-up. But I personally think it's ridiculous how we feel that we HAVE to. Great video.

@desertislanddream Well said :) And yeah, if Jason was all like "you're hideous" if I didn't have make-up, I'd probably cry and then break up with him...

Like anything else in our societal makeup (pun intended) the traumas of insecurity manifest them-self relevant to their preconceived conditioning. I've always found that you identify yourself more of a person than an object, so that is what you project, in essence your make-up. Other woman may be object-conditioned, and as negative as that sounds, ( it is not intended to be), that is what they perceive they must, or desire to project. Very complicated is the female of this earth species .

@MrVisions Everybody is complicated haha

@nenalyzed I realize that my comment must sound extremely sad in a way but I just can't come to terms with myself. I need more time I guess. I do however think it's crazy to hide from your significant other like that. yes I think it must be hard to come clean (literally) and show your unmake-upped face, but once you know you love the other there shouldn't be any boundaries like that anymore; yes you want to look good for the other but you also need to share the real you I guess;

I made a video about make up today and Jason commented that you did one too a while ago. that's why I'm typing this comment #statingtheobvious.

I think it's great that you feel that comfortable without make up. I myself have a hard time looking in the mirror, but it's more than that. I need make up for I can't be happy with myself at this point. I know that it's not the answer but I need it as a way to build up my confidence. It allows me to be someone else in a way; (a tiny bit)

Lovely, both ways! I always tell my nieces they are too good for any male in their age group (16 to 23 or so), that no male is worth having anything to do with before at least 30 (Judge Judy says FIFTY!), that they are stinky, think only of one thing, so don't go out of one's way to look good for them because they are no good. Of course, they've all gone out and found worthless boyfriends to raise to adulthood, AND look beautiful with or withouit makeup. Go with what makes you happy!

My wife never wears make-up. I'm OK with this. I love *her* face, not the paint on it.

The most I do as far as grooming is concerned is trim my beard once a month.

I know women that take make-up to an art form. It's amazing. But I don't think it should be *required*. Of course one also wears nothing but high heels, can't even walk in flats any longer. Beauty is pain as they say. Bah.

I think that if a person isn't beautiful to start with, paint isn't going to help.
