Yesh, well I never wear makeup!!

About 3 or 4 years ago I decided that people should see me just as I am
the good, bad ugly or whatever!! So that they arent shocked when they see me without it!!

Though I am completely obsessed with body shop's mango lip balm!!

I wear it v. occasionally when I go out or something but not on a daily basis!
Plus I'm completely incompetent at dolling myself up!!

He he :biggrin:

I wear a lot of make up everyday not because i'm not confident without it, purely because i want to wear it. all of my friends wear alot of makeup too-the amount of times we've had the 'Plastic' insult thrown at us is unreal.
I was with my ex for a year and a half and and he saw me without makeup after about 4 months when he stayed over.
It's not really a big deal for me, but i love wearing make up and think girls look so much better with some on therefore if a boy were to tell me he didn't like it-i can't say i'd be all too bothered and it wouldnt make me stop wearing it :smile:

I wear make-up daily but the night my boyfriend met me I was wearing basically none, in fact I was probably a bit of a state due to intoxication and a muddy field in the middle of nowhere. He's seen me first thing in the morning, last thing at night, puking with friction burns all over my face. Think it's fair to say he's seen my at my worst TBH.

I remember the first time my boyfriend (now ex) saw me without makeup. It was the day we broke up and i was crying my eyes out. I goes to him coree i look like a tramp my makeups all washed off, n he was like i didn't even know you wore it. I don't know whether people would take that as offensive or not, but clearly if he didnt notice there was no point, i then came into 6th form the next day with no makeup on and nobody even realised so yeah lol.
Point of the matter, i didnt really care at the time and i don't care now lol However, before that i did care.

i wear very little make up, but the little i do wear makes a huge difference to me. i'll go to the shop without mascara or bronzer, but foundation i just couldn't go without. i only wear a tiny bit of really light foundation, but it makes my skin go from "kinda nice" to perfect. everyone thinks i've just got perfect skin and i'd hate for someone to see me without and realise i haven't!
my best friend sees me without foundation when i sleep at hers, and my fam, but they're the only people who've seen me without it in over a year!
with my ex, i'd run to the bathroom first thing and sneakily put a little bit on so i didn't look like such a monster. if i leave the house without foundation on, i wrap my scarf up to my nose :|

i'm not high maintenance, but the little effort i do make makes such a big difference! i don't look cute or sexy when i wake up, my hair goes completely insane and i look like jade goody!

I was really self conscious at the beginning of our relationship...i didn't take my make up off before going to bed for about two months! Give or take a few times when my skin wasn't a huge joke. I think it's only the past few months that i've been really comfortable...even after exfoliating myface in the shower and my face looking like some kind of period stain i'm fine with him seeing me now. But i completely understand people who are really self conscious about it, i would sometimes put a bit of concealer over any blemishes that i had before he woke up in the morning, haha, girls will be girls.

It's pathetic but I've always found it very difficult to be around any of my exes without any make up. There were obviously instances where I had taken it off and they saw me but I'd always try to delay taking it off, e.g. I would do it only if I knew we were turning the lights off and going to sleep in the next few minutes. I'd always make sure I had a bit of eyeliner on though lol. I think it is a self esteem thing for me though, and I've admitted that to myself. I'm trying to slowly wear less make up on a daily basis which will hopefully help.
