Good age to start wearing foundation?

I dont think its to dow its to do with how other people see you, not completely. I make an effort even if Im not going anywhere because I genuinely like to. My point is just you cant claim wearing makeup equals insecurity anymore than wearing nice clothes, underwear, shoes, jewellery and so on also makes you insecure, which it doesnt. Im sure some people wear makeup for insecurity reasons, but it isnt everyone.

It is everyone. You're making out that insecurity is some horrible offensive remark. EVERYONE has insecurity. Everyone. It's not that some people have it and some don't. Everyone has it. Including you. You aren't exempt from having a social consciousness about your appearance.

No they dont. Wanting to look presentable is something different, I dont understand why you're acting as if they're the same. Insecurity is the opposite of confidence, not some ingrained trait.

You can be insecure and confident, they aren't mutually exclusive.

And you can look perfectly presentable without make-up on. They're not the same thing.

Right, if thats what happened to you then fine but thats not the case with everyone. Where does this attitude that girls who wear makeup are insecure come from? I wear makeup because I like to and Im not insecure about my face thanks. Why do people who prefer to go natural have to try and ram it down everyones throats that they're somehow morally superior for not wearing makeup? Go natural if you want, but dont claim all girls who wear makeup are insecure because thats just not the case, and is a bit insulting.

I agree with this so, so much. I wear make up because it enhances my features not to hide some massive insecurity.

Everybody looks better with the right make up, let's not pretend that's not true.

You can also be confident without being insecure. I dont see why you think everyone is insecure? And yes you can, but makeup looks better when its applied properly than 'natural'. I dont see why making an effort to look nice sees to equate to insecurity to you.

Insecurity is being conscious of how your appearance affects people's perceptions of you. Wearing make-up makes you think you look nicer. Therefore you are altering your appearance to serve a social function - to affect how you perceive yourself/other people perceive you.

I find it slightly funny that you've become so occupied with my perception of your supposed insecurities (as a make-up wearer), considering how you are so adamant you have no insecurities whatsoever.

I wear it when im alone too, its not for other people, it's because I genuinely enjoy wearing it. Using your logic, wearing nice clothes is insecure. Do you believe wearing nice clothes is insecure? And I don't have insecurities, I just find it quite irritating how the au natural girls throw in snarky digs at makeup wearers at every opportunity. if you want to go bare faced, thats fine it's up to you. But don't accuse me of being insecure for wearing makeup.

Yeah wearing nice clothes is insecure too. Wearing it for your own self esteem in private is still insecurity.

Do you feel perfectly beautiful in every way with no possible improvements without make-up on?

If yes - then why wear it?
If no - then clearly you're wearing it to improve your appearance.

If you think your appearance can be improved in some way then you're not 100% confident with it. Doesn't make you a bad or inferior person - that's what being a human is all about. I'm not specifically accusing you. I think it's nuts that you'd claim you have no insecurities at all, that's a massively brash statement to make.

Do I think I look better with makeup? yes.
Do I think I look ugly without makeup? No
Do I hate how I look without makeup? No.

Thinking something can be improved isnt the same as not being confident. You can be confident in it without thinking it's perfect - I don't see where you've got this impression that confident equals perfect from? Also wearing nice clothes isnt insecure. Why is wanting to look nice insecure?
