man iz this for real - of course it's normal

okay maybe not these days cos everyone's wearing make up but yeah i usually don't wear make up and i'm 17 and so do a lot of people i know sooo... but i still watch make up tutorials - i think that's not normal haha
im 17 in a few days and i have never worn it either :smile:
nice to know there is someone else who dosen't :grouphugs:
loads of girls at my school don't. the majority wear light makeup: mascara, concealer etc. a few wear tons of it. there's nothing wrong either way.
of course it's normal
join the club, besides often the eyeliner i dont really bother, I mean like me for the real me or idgaf

oh, and I'm 18 :smile:

Yes, only wear it if you're ready.
Yes, in fact, I would argue it shows a supreme self-confidence to be able to say, "No, I won't wear makeup, I am happy with my appearance."

Granted, insecurity isn't the only reason for makeup use, but it probably has an impact.

I'm 17 and I only use it when i can be bothered tbh, i never have enough time to get ready before school so it's literally a case of "i woke up like this"! But if i'm bored i'll just put some on for fun :P i never wear foundation though, too much effort imo


Don't really see the point in foundation, just gives you more spots

Yeah I find some parts of my subjects quite boring too. But then there are all the fun parts to make up for it :h:
gonna agree with what was said above - it's really cool that you don't need makeup to feel confident :u:

I'm 15 and I normally have to put on a bit of foundation and some gloss/lipstick before I go out haha :colondollar:

I'm really glad to know that its not too uncommon. Almost all the girls I know wear make up! :smile: (its not a case of I'm not ready or anything, I just cant be bothered in the morning)
