the actual quantity of makeup doesn't necessarily equal how 'cake faced' she looks - i.e. one with acne may be using a shit ton of products but the result is fairly natural, even skin

imo it's the colours -
look you can't even quantify this shit.
but like blush, lipstick, eyeliner, eyeshadow - all bringing unnatural colour to the face.

i'm fine with seeing girls wear a lot of makeup, it's when it's unnatural or badly applied. ye.

if youre utilizing it as a crutch, then its too much

if it actually significantly alters your attractiveness when you take it off, then its too much

best thing to do is to use minimal amounts, or none at all, because that way when a grill actually puts on your standard amount of eyeliner/lipstick/blush or w/e, they look fucking 10/10 phenomenal

Makeup is so ingrained into our culture, it is one hundred percent acceptable to wear makeup. Actually, it's probably more unacceptable to not wear any makeup.

Because it makes me feel like a fraud, because then I can't rub my eyes/face whenever, and because I have to worry about it getting on my bfs clothes, it irritates my eyes, if I take a nap I have to adjust it and my eyes go all dry, and because I'd have to wake up way earlier to spend the time doing it and then taking it off at night.

I'm already attractive without it so I'll stick to wearing it during shoots. It does make me feel socially unacceptable at times though or not as attractive as other girls, which is an absolute joke since with it id easily be way prettier

I think it's important to build my self esteem around other things

people don't always wear make up to attract mates. sometimes you just want to go out w/o looking ugly as fuck. make up is so normal now it's practically expected and tbh it's laughable that there are dudes out there who see it as a way of "lying". like do you really think my eyelids are naturally darker than the rest of my face? it's like babies not understanding object permanence. get the fuck over it.

My boyfriend hates me wearing makeup. He gets annoyed if I even start to put any on. Which should make me feel good.

But then he acts in awe of girls who he sees pictures of or irl and says 'wow she's so pretty!!' when she has a ton of makeup, lashes, contouring, etc on

It makes me feel very insecure

I would argue that too much makeup is when the supposedly "invisible" starts to become "visible". For example, caking on foundation to the point where it no longer blends in with the rest of one's skin, or when eyelashes look to clumpy and overly crusted-on. Clearly, some things are supposed to appear to be artificial, since no reasonably intelligent person thinks that anyone ACTUALLY has blue eyelids.

Ultimately, it comes down to the occasion, the style of look, and the mastery of technique.

>> No.8876239

>>8872387
In real life make up like that would NEVER be passable as the real thing because it would be too obvious that she is wearing 10 kgs of it. It's always obvious when a girl is caked up with dramatic makeup like this. Only an idiot would think this is the real thing smh. You can deceive for real though, but only with the "no makeup makeup" look and that only covers up imperfections, you don't look like an another person with it.

>> No.8876259

I personally think it's more a matter of frequency. If you always wear full face, it's too much. If it's just when you're feeling special and it's not much day to day, I think that's best. Makeup should highlight things you like about your face, not hide everything you hate.

That's really not all you need to do.
Unless you want to fuck up your skin you at least need a good cleanser.
