So every day I wear eyeliner on the bottom, mascara, and lip gloss. I don't wear a ton of eyeliner. I've had a lot of people tell me it looks good. I have blue eyes and the eyeliner is a darkish blue so it complements my eyes. Anyway, I like my makeup, but before I wore it, I had a boyfriend. Now, with makeup, no guys like me. At all. I don't really feel comfortable without makeup, but a lot of my guy friends say that they think I'm prettier without it and most guys like girls without makeup. I don't know what to do - makeup or not? Does wearing makeup have anything to do with having a boyfriend or a guy like you??

I don't see why make up should be the sole reason in you not having a boyfriend.
Depends do you look like those girls on TOWIE when you have makeup on, if not then I don't see why natural looking make up will be a problem.

Have you gone out with no make on and got a boyfriend ever since your ex?

Pictures please. Its hard to tell otherwise.

Some girls on TOWIE have boyfriends..every guy has different taste.

OP: wearing make should not be about attracting boys, it should be about how it makes you feel.

Make up will attract attention. But natural beauty will retain it. And mannerism will renew it.

From my experience guys don't know what they are talking about. The girls they like which wear 'no make up' probably wear a fair bit of 'natural' makeup. I know i never ever even got noticed or called pretty until i started wearing makeup. Im not insecure but i think makeup is what I needed to make myself think i was pretty perhaps giving me more confidence.
Either way, a little makeup never hurts and no one will condemn you for it just make sure you find a look which suits you

I used to wear loads of make-up, it took me 20 extra minutes before college each day to get it on and it wasn't doing my skin any good. My boyfriend convinced me that I don't need it and now I think I've worn minimal make up (powder, lipgloss, eyeshadow and mascara) three times since January. I feel better for it and so does my skin so I advocate no make-up, but why not find a happy medium? Work out what the bare minimum you feel comfortable in is and go with that for a few days, or try going without completely and, if that doesn't feel right, work your way up?

Sounds pretty, and there will be guys who think so too. Also, don't base your looks on what guys want, base them on what makes you feel good, you will have crap pulling power if you feel uncomfortable with how you look!!

I agree, my boyfriend always says i look beautiful with no make up on and don't need it, but when i wear it and haven't told him he always compliments me saying i look good :P
I think half the time if you do it well you can make it look natural and they don't know the difference XD

Wearing make up should be for yourself and no one else, if you want to wear make up then wear it

True but that's because they see big boobs and think about sex most of the time.
But it does annoy me when I watch Song Marry Avoid and the majority of the girls have boyfriends then the guy wants to change the girl to be natural looking. You think why did they get with the girl in the first place if she looked like that to begin with, seems like they want the girl to change into what they want so they won't get attention from other guys. Then a guy cheats on them with a girl that they used to look like before they went natural.

And it's true what other posters say they see a "natural girl" But really she just has the right shade of foundation/powder for her skin tone and has experimented with make up that works for them, like the OP said about wearing blue eyeliner to highlight her eyes.
But OP should wear make up for herself anyway not some guy.

it depends how you feel comfortable, but I guess the less make-up you wear the better

I completely agree. Before I wore makeup, I felt so uncomfortable and insecure. However, now I wear foundation and mascara and I am so much more confident.

If it helps you be more confident then so be it. I don't mind being around close friends and family without make up on but I just feel more "myself" with it on.

I'm exactly the same. I hate it when people say wearing make up is bad or 'tarty' because if you apply it well and choose the right products there is nothing wrong with it

Ha, don't even comment if you're going to be mean.

[sinfonietta]

It's likely just coincidence rather than anything do with you wearing make-up.
