I don't wear make up at, I have ugly scars from spots. I just deal with it because I know that I have done it to myself.
Make up is there to highlight your features not to give you a new look. :smile: be proud of how you are, if people look don't even give them another look :tongue:

How did you give spots to yourself?

Not much, I don't wear a lot of makeup anyway, just eyeliner, mascara and occasionally eye shadow

I feel uncomfortable without make up to be honest. I know it is silly to feel that way as I know that people aren't going to care but I feel so self conscious!
I too have scars on my face from a condition that causes me to bruise easily so I have to wear concealer for that. If I'm going out without it, I'll have my hair fully down, hiding my face on both sides and will avoid eye contact for the entire day.

Concealer is all I need to feel confident. Eyeliner, mascara and maybe lip gloss are usually extras.

Edit: these aren't simple acne scars, the bruises are so badI look almost beaten up without concealer.

I don't wear make up at all. I haven't got a perfect face, I have marks and spots and whatnot but I'm happy with the skin I'm in :smile:

No squeezing them (sounds gross all of a sudden, which it Is :tongue:), not giving spots myself although I don't use my scrub anymore :\

I'd feel insecure with makeup, since I don't really know what all the products are for or how to put it on :tongue: If I attempt to wear it I feel like everyone is looking at me. Plus I have very sensitive skin, so putting stuff on my face probably wouldn't be a good idea. I can completely understand people who wear makeup everyday though, it's all about what you're comfortable with.

I also have scars on my face from spots, I scar easily, when it's cold the marks go purple :/
I can normally go out without makeup, or a little mascara, feeling confident. I don't feel beautiful but depending on my mood I don't always feel insecure about my face.

I tend to only wear eye make up: eye-liner, mascara and nude shadow. However, I feel really liberated and happier when I don't wear make up. I obviously do this on days where I've had enough sleep and look fresh. Why do you feel insecure?
I don't wear makeup most of the time and I feel completely fine about it. I don't wear particularly heavy makeup when I go out; I love mascara and lipgloss but I avoid foundation because it makes me break out in spots.

I'm pretty happy to go without, however, I do wear it most of the time. Much like a poster said earlier, I use it to enhance my look.

If I do wear some, I wear foundation and blusher. Or foundation with lipstick.

I wish I never started wearing make up pretty much everyday to be honest because they days I would wear make up would be an improvement lol

I don't feel insecure without it. A few years ago I couldn't bare the thought of going out without makeup. Now I'd rather the extra minutes of sleep! I do feel prettier with makeup, but I feel good without it too. Honestly, people won't stare if you don't look perfect without makeup. They don't care.

I don't feel insecure without it, but I do like wearing it.

You can split this into two camps - the secure and insecure.

The former wear it when is reasonable e.g. a little when going outside, but none if it's a quick dash somewhere, and more for nights out.

The latter either wear it all the time, or never at all, feeling that they need it to look good, or they are so ugly that it won't help them.
I feel ok without make-up. I will go to Tescos or to a friends house or wherever without make-up. I don't feel insecure not wearing it because I forget that I'm not wearing any make-up and I don't care what people think.
However I can't go to work without make-up on. I have tried and just can't do it without wearing at least a little bit. I think I look better with make-up on.
I wish I could feel confident enough to go to work without make-up on. It would make mornings so much quicker and I think my skin would look better.


There was a time when I would not leave the house without make-up on. I'm glad I don't have to do that anymore.
