How do you feel about women that's don't wear Make-up ?

[flutterby1]

Just wondering what your true JUDGY thoughts are? I don't wear makeup often I'm in mid forties. How am I perceived? Lazy? Frumpy? Not caring? Boring? Can't be bothered to make an effort for others ? Or confident ? Perceived as being ' pretty enough' ?

I’m 27 and do like make up but roughly wear it 2 times a month if that some times never.

just never have time with small kids and i barley go out.

if I want some colour to my face I add some tan drops in to my Bobbi Brown moisturiser

I wear a full face of makeup every single day. I’d probably clock if someone’s makeup looked really nice, but I wouldn’t even give it 2 thoughts if someone wasn’t wearing any.

I literally never wear makeup and never have. I've never had any judgey comments about it. Can't say I ever really notice whether other women are wearing makeup unless it's very heavy.

I wear quite a lot of make up but am noticing that I’m in the minority. Most people don’t wear much day to day, I’ve noticed. I don’t really have any thoughts on it.

I don’t think this is even a thing anymore. Quite a dated issue tbh. Many years ago we were judged for not wearing make-up or wearing too much etc but thankfully it feels that these days at least that kind of judgement is long over

I was an early adopter ( my dad had a chemist and I’d get all the extra testers), and I’m not sure I left the house make up free till I was about 30. I did a sport where I had to train at 6am and I would make up on before that 🤣. Then I just started wearing less and less when I moved to a hot country where the humidity is not a friend to foundation, and eventually I stopped wearing it in my forties other than a few times a year for big parties. It wasn’t a conscious decision. It sort of just happened.

I do get Botox and get my brows shaped so it’s not like I’m without vanity. I just feel like that makes a way bigger difference than makeup now I pushing up against 50.

I only ever wear mascara and eye pencil under bottom lashes (otherwise my eyes disappear) and lipstick, maybe a little blusher. Can’t stand the feel of foundation/powder on my face, never could stand it.

And concealer for the dark rings under my eyes - they never go away no matter how much sleep I get.

Each to her own, but personally I think really heavy, very obvious make-up looks trashy and awful. Especially of the orange-foundation variety. Skilfully applied subtle make-up is another matter.

Never think about it. I wear minimal make-up as truly cba unless I’m going out-out or to a fancy do! I mainly wfh snd even when I go in it’s v casual and no-one cares.

I don't think anything of them! Loads of women don't wear makeup. Loads do!

Envious

I don’t wear makeup daily, I’m 56. Never wore makeup daily when I was younger either. I do like makeup but just don’t bother most days.

I notice when someone is or isn’t wearing makeup but it makes no difference to me.

I used to have to wear make up just to leave the house and thought women who didn't wear mask up were so confident. Now I rarely wear make up and it's simply because I just can't be bothered doing it. But I do still enjoy doing my make up for nights out, weddings etc.

Sadly, I do think it would go against a woman to not wear make up to a job interview or similar.

I don't wear it unless I'm out for the day. Never at work, I'm a cleaner and it all gets sweated off. I don't think anything either way of what makeup other people wear!

I very rarely wear makeup, big nights out maybe 2 or 3 times a year, it had never even occurred to me that people might be judging me.
I'm certainly not judging others on their make up choices.

Ive never worn it bar on a couple of occasions. Absolutely no thoughts or judgements either way towards people who do or dont.

I have never worn make up and anyone is feel free to judge but i would ask them why if they judge negatively, why they expect other women to spend precious hours of their lives putting chemicals on their face but don't expect men to do the same. And why should i spend my cash on painting my face to please others?

I don't wear it either. Can't be arsed with it, DH of 25 years (28.5 years together) has no complaints. Couldn't give a fuck what anyone else thinks.

I wear and not wear. One paletter one day, then three months nothing, then lipsctick, then just eye shadow. Then nothing . Then a new palette. I do not put myself into labels and do and live as I want to feel in my own body

Wow! So much ugly judgement on this thread, and it's not the non makeup wearers that are being judged. And the comments about young women and their choices, were none of you young, did you never make fashion or beauty mistakes? I actually think young women now look incredible, much better than I did as a teenager in the 90's. I think a lot of older women (and I'm an older woman myself) need to think about where all this judgement is coming from, what's lacking inside you that you are turning your ugly thoughts on young women

I'm in my late 50's and don't wear makeup very day. My skin's pretty good and I'm not bothered what others think.
I do however enjoy slapping on a bit when I'm off out somewhere.

Yeah I would judge, negatively, someone more if they had loads of make up on.

With no make up, it would depend if they looked like they'd put some effort into their appearance generally, as to how much I judge. Cloithes that are vaguely new and fit them well, hair looking nice etc.

I think it shows a degree of self awareness.

By judge I mean could I envisage them being fun in a cafe, bar or on a night out etc.

I haven't worn make up for years. The only thing I use on my face is moisturiser and factor 50.

I generally don’t notice other people’s appearance unless a) the are dressed in a way which I really out of keeping with the environment (A ball gown at pick up, pyjamas in a bar, fancy dress on a run) b) really dirty looking or c) are wearing something particularly brilliant / want-a-ble

Definitely this. It’s horrible to see people being so nasty and judgmental to other women who choose to do something different to them.

you’re not superior because you don’t wear make up ffs

I'm 58 and never worn it in my entire life. Have never seen the reason for it. I'm naturally ugly and no amount of makeup will change it!
