Re: Confession

[fenm]

I don't wear makeup because I don't give a shit.
[...]
I know I should want to look presentable and more mature and grown up.

The fact that a woman thinks she has to wear make up to look "presentable" and "grown up" is kinda fucked up.

This isn't a criticism of you, anon; it's a criticism of a society that says women have to smear a bunch of crap all over their faces just to leave the damn house.

"This isn't a criticism of you, anon; it's a criticism of a society that says women have to smear a bunch of crap all over their faces just to leave the damn house."

Must you call it "crap"? You're implying that any woman (or anyone, period) who applies it is doing something wrong, which is just as misogynistic as assuming that it has to be applied to be "presentable", and honestly, as someone who enjoys putting makeup on because of the colors, and patterns I can make, I'm rather offended, though I agree with the rest of your sentiment.

Re: Confession

[fenm]

Okay, for the record, I'm talking about women who really don't like make up (as the person I was replying to seemed to be) but feels like they have to or they're "ugly".

Honestly, I call it "crap" because whenever I've worn it, I find it extremely unpleasant to wear. So it kind of feels like crap to me.

But you're right, there are people who enjoy wearing it, and I realize calling it crap can be seen as demeaning to them. I'm sorry.

Re: Confession

If you feel unpleasant when you're wearing makeup then you're doin' it wrong. I'm sorry. Unless you're wearing fake eyeslashes or something..

Re: Confession

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you for the apology. I get it sometimes from people in my real life, so hearing it on F!S was kind if hurtful. I do understand people not being comfortable wearing makeup- until I figured out some basics, I was uncomfortable wearing makeup (not trying to imply that that is always the case, just that that was the case for me), but I enjoy(ed) makeup, and other people putting makeup on me.

It just depends on the person, really.

Fwiw, I think makeup is crap. Don't think others who use it are, mind, but I do think the stuff is crap. Especially what goes into it and how it smells and ugh.

Re: Confession

[tabaqui]

This, this, this. I look plenty presentable and grown up with my make-up free face.

Biggest concession to 'girly stuff' i do is my brows waxed, since i'm blind as a bat without my glasses on and can't see the damn things, so plucking is pretty much impossible. And they're very dark and grow down to my eyelids which looks weird.

> I look plenty presentable and grown up with my make-up free face

I don't. :( But I doubt applying make up will make me look substantially older. I'll still probably look like a teenager. Just now a teenager with makeup.

(I'm 25. I look somewhere between 15 and 17, though someone a few weeks ago mistook me for a 12yr old. And this was after a long good look at my face.)

Re: Confession

[tabaqui]

Heh. I'm 45, i'm pretty sure i *look* 45. Plus - grey hairs. Whoo! I luff my greys.

I can understand looking a lot younger than you are and wanting to 'fix' that so as to be taken more seriously at a job or an interview.

Hoo-rah!
