I've had this experience. It's not all girls, it's not even the majority, but there are some girls in fandom who are passionately judgemental of anyone who chooses to wear make-up. No, actually, I should amend that - they're passionately judgemental of women who choose to wear make-up, if men wear it then it's sexy or kawaii or whatever. It's pretty damn gross, especially since they use it as an excuse to slut-shame, because they seem to think a woman would only go to the effort of applying lipstick if she wants a guy's attention.

I wear make-up because I love playing with colours and sparkle and it cheers me up. If somebody chooses not to wear make-up, it makes no difference to me. I probably won't even register it - it's default in my head to see people without make-up, so when somebody's wearing it I'll notice it, but if they're not my mind just processes it as the norm. And even then, I notice colours more than anything else. It doesn't change people's faces or speak of their personality, so I don't know why people should be judged either way.

Oh god. I had a friend like that. She got so passionate about not ever wearing make up. But at the same time she was a huge fan of male J-stars who never seemed to appear anywhere without make up. IDEK It got to a point where I didn't feel comfortable wearing cover up in high school. Now I finally have a few pieces. And oh how I love pink lipstick.

Glad you discovered something you enjoy! I had a friend who often talked about how women who wore make-up did it to hide their insecurities. She said this to my face, whilst I was wearing (noticeable) make-up. No amount of explaining that I wore it for me, because I enjoyed it could change her mind. Funny how she got a crush on a coworker and suddenly discovered a love of eye make-up...

I think some women do it to hide their insecurities. I know a couple who have admitted it straight-up. I usually don't wear make-up, but I use cover-up when I'm feeling self-conscious about my acne. You see me in make-up, it basically just means "I feel shitty and ugly today." I hate that I do it, but there you go.
