Makeup

Yup, yup. I brought this up. So... does anyone here wear makeup? (Do you spell that with a dash, space, or neither by the way?) I don't unless I'm doing a show. Or today when my eye looks really funny. (Actually, I'm not wearing any makeup right now.)

 

According to the dictionary we use (Random House Unabridged), makeup as you use it here is one word with no hyphen.

I am only 10 and my mom says i cannot wear makeup until i'm  older. I have acne and I probably shouldn't wear makeup until my acne is all gone.

I only wear it for special occasions such as weddings or dances. Otherwise I don't wear any and don't plan to till I am 16 or older.

The only time I will willingly put on makeup (or, well, let someone else put it on for me) is when I'm onstage in front of an audience. Other than that, I don't like it, as I find it's more trouble than it's worth. Personally I think most, if not all, people look fine without it.

Usually I use lipgloss, but occasionally I'll put on a little bit more, like mascara or eyeshadow. I NEVER use foundation or any stuff like that, unless it's for a performance. But seeing as I don't take ballet anymore, then I don't have to! A lot of the girls at my school wear a lot of makeup, especially eyeliner. Sometimes it looks good, but most of the time it doesn't. I really don't like the idea of poking a pencil into my eyelid!

I guess I'm not the only person with the same feelings about makeup! Yay! 

The girls in my class wonder why they have all these acne outbreaks, and it's obvious. You should see their facial powder!

My mom says that young girls don't need make-up because they're naturally pretty. I think that's true. My friend forced makeup onto my face at a school party, and I had to get it done by fifth graders (who are already WAY too young to wear makeup). Well, you can imagine what I looked like. They put some weird sparkle stuff on the eye shadow (which I personally found fine before), and then came the battle with the mascara. It smudged all under my eye. Yay. *sarcasm*

I think that eye liner hurts when people put it on you because they always seem to go into your eye.
