This whole make-up/no make-up thing pisses me off. Not because I hate make-up... I just wish I had a girlfriend that would ask me if she looks better with or without.... and no... NOT FUCKING ONIONS...

Oh wait.. that only a Philly thing?

Onions? (0_o) Anyways...The last girl I was with was overly conscious about how she looked, and EVERY TIME we went to the mall, we'd spend about two hours at MAC or Sephora looking for foundation, eye liner, mascara etc. OMG, I can't believe I know what all that stuff is! yeah, I like make up on a girl, but I just hate it when I'm making out with some chick at a party or at a bar, and all I smell/taste is that caked on foundation and powder...yech!

If the make up is well done you wouldn't even realise there is any. That should be the whole point.

Besides, make up can be a rather fun way to express oneself and to be playful, just like clothing. Too bad the advertisement industry tries to make it look like something mandatory to do for women in order to fit into beauty standards as opposed to just something fun to do every once in a while for all genders.

We have a regular male customer at KFC who likes to wear makeup. He's asked me for eyeliner tips before.

I don't care either way, myself I have used foundations to hide some scars I had and bad break-outs for going out to a party, past that I try to take focus on skin care. Though I do like lipstick and eye work.

I've not seen the situation as bad in other countries as it is here - perhaps it's something that's simply been passed on since the Victorian days where they'd slam their head into a bucket of lead powder for that every so attractive "the last time I saw sunshine I was in a pram" look - but it really can look bloody horrendous. "Like a painted maypole" as Shakespeare puts it. As others have said, I should really have to squint and stare at you to tell you're actually wearing any. Nobody's so ugly that they have to apply foundation with a paint roller, make their eyes look like a cars headlights and wear enough blush to make clowns jealous.

The concealer lips trend of last year was horrible...

But now it's been replaced with the trend of shaving off your eyebrows so you can draw them on in pencil. I mean, really? Do you carry a face wipe so that you can quickly re-do them to show people when your angry or surprised?

in all fairness, my mum draws her eyebrows in, but thats because they're so light that when she doesn't you can't see the bastards.

And why would you need to redraw them? They still sit on the same portion of the brow that they were before, which will still move in the same way.

Well, prolly not as un-usual is people think

Damm I hate the emo kids with their make-up...

Well, If I would specify the make-up that I totaly accept are things like soft-coloured lipstcik and when they do sumthing withtheir eyelashes.
I just can't understand that why many girls think they look ugly without make-up... Most of the girls I know look better without make-up...

I think that that is stupid

well, understand if person would thin out the eyebrows, but I can't understand taht why wouldyou shave them and the DRAW THEM. I mean, eyebrows lookbetter if they are real & natural... I have 1 girl in my class who draws her eyebrows and I thinkit looks absolutely horrible and un-natural... to be honest, she looked better last year with her real eyebrows

...but that has nothing to do with anything...

It doesn't look too bad if you do it properly. But that means a brown or blonde eyebrow pencil and a fair bit of time. If you do it with a black one and draw a line then it looks shit.

well, the girl in our class uses brown, but I think I have never seen good drawn eyebrows

Well, here can be those that are made so well that you can't tell without touching

but generaly, I hate those

That's not what I'm talking about, I mean this I can understand. I mean actually shaving them off completely to draw them in again, that I don't get. Same with tattooing eyebrows on, I mean, what?

I guess they'd move in the same way, but they're usually so thin that certain expressions are difficult to discern. Plus, people sometimes don't draw them in the right place giving them a permanent look of surprise or something.

I think the tattooing is just so they don't have to keep plucking them for the most part. Nothing quite like your eyebrows trying to join together

I do tend to find the thin black eyebrows are more seen on chav girls and the vast amounts of Polish women around here. Who all also seem to like wearing designer body warmers. :/

I believe tattooing them on because you don't want to always have to draw them back on. I know someone like this. You merely have to pluck in area beyond tattoo.

kurandoinu · « **Reply #34 on:** January 26, 2011, 07:42:37 AM »

Or just get the eyebrows removed completely, since you're getting them tattooed.

Klocknov · « **Reply #35 on:** January 26, 2011, 10:41:19 AM »

Hell those people that tattoo them on I find pointless, the drawn-on ones though I have seen some people get quite creative with. I like some of the more creative done stuff though at times I do agree yes it can get a bit much. Lips are meant to be done either fully or not in my opinion, but if you can pull off the doll lips or something go for it. So my stance on make-up is do it to where ti fits you don't just go crazy and try to find the most wild thing you can do.

Make-up is an art of finesse not extravagance, and people have seem to lost that ideal or aspect depending on how the person looks at it. The cleaner and less there is the better minus with a little bit of like eye-play with designs or maybe doing a lily style blush pattern. Hell even those that draw on their eyebrows to make a permanent expression for the day can do some really neat things with it. But again finesse is the key rather then extravagance.

TL:DR learn finesse and not hey look how much I can put on!!

Yeah I should say this, if you have to tattoo the fucking shit then it does get ugly quick, I am sorry but it isn't my fault your ass is too lazy to put make-up on yourself and have to have a tattoo artist make it permanent and which I find stupid and wrong. Make-up is one thing, tattoos on the face is another. Not to mention how big of a turn-off this is almost always

Tattoos are always a case of moderation, wherever they are. I'd also argue that creativity comes into it as well - how many fucking eye stars and hip hearts do people seem to get, do they not have an actual mind of their own? - but they can also be pretty hot. It's all down to knowing how far to go.

They aren't really tattoo artists so much as beauticians with another skill. I've considered getting the waterline done... seen it and it looks great, imo. Even with no makeup, having the waterline done looks nice. It's so obscure, you couldn't tell unless looking for it.

kurandoinu · « **Reply #38 on:** January 26, 2011, 05:34:19 PM »

I never even knew that was called the waterline...
