      @@renkomarkova7336 Yes!Yes! . I am now 37 and do not regret "not " wearing makeup. you are much better off taking care of your skin. make up really wears down your skin over time. Plus when you do wear makeup other folks tend to notice the "surprise" of how your features pop. If you always wear make up then when you do go out to an event then there is no surprise, because you are always in makeup. So I really leave subtle makeup up for going out to dinner with my hubby and etc...which is like once a month. Take care

      I think every woman should do what is best for them. Me myself.i always wear mascara and blush and lipgloss and sometimes lipstick
      Though. I don't wear anything else on face. I wear organic makeup at times. When I go out some where nice. I am still trying to ween myself from not wearing makeup period. I think it is good to not wear makeup for some woman. I am trying to not wear it at all. I do feel like I love myself more. When I don't wear makeup on my face. Plus. Makeup cost a lot of money. That's how all of these rich people make money off of woman. Who chooses to wear makeup. They are the ones who are being rich. These companies sellaleup for woman. Wanting them to wear it. So the rich can get richer and the middle class poor keeps on getting poorer. Instead of being middle class. And making it in the world. It is no different then buying a new car. It's good to buy a new car if you ever had one before. Though. If you are so use to buying a car all the time that is totally brand new and you are still able to drive your old car longer. Until the car no longer works. Then. It's good to buy a nice car that you want
      That is newer or new. These car companies are no different then women wanting to spend a lot of there money on makeup. These companies get so rich off of people that sometimes can be nieve. I would rather not wear makeup and savey money for something better in life. That will benefite more
      Same thing goes for me buying a car. I would rather drive a old car. Until it drops and then buye a better newer car to drive. Some people in life are suckers and some are not
      At all. You have to know what is best for you
      Everyone is different. And that's how life is
      No one is the same
      Whatight be good for some.ay not be good for everyone😊

Like school, work, shopping, etc. For events and parties, even if I don't like it, I'd recommend a little makeup just to not stand out so much. Keeping the use minimal should be the norm. For the long term, it should not be needed at all, but our culture isn't quite there yet. Men aren't wearing makeup, and women are expected to. Where is the equality?

I have a problem with women, who want to be so different and "not like other girls" that they put down other women bc they simply wear makeup. I am pretty sure they are the ones projecting their own insecurities.

    Tbh though you are naturally physically beautiful, there are a lot of women who don’t necessarily fall into that category without makeup. I personally am not a fan of makeup because really it’s just a mask, it’s a fake beauty rather then a natural one and it’s not the same. I have found natural femininity far more attractive then the clownish looks that a lot women think are trendy, the Kardashians just look like barbies at this point and unfortunately everyone wants that look.

    I looked this video up because today I went to put on makeup since I was ACTUALLY needing to leave the house today... and it looked terrible to me. Like a weird washed out ghostly painted dry patchy face. I also noticed that when I put it on on rare occasion now, that it irritates my skin so badly. I washed it right off, applied a tad bit of tanning water, lip gloss, and I was amazed at how much better I felt without that paint mask on when going out. Before Covid I spent thousands on tons of makeup. What a waste of money. Now I spend my extra money on workout clothes and lounge comfy clothes, clothes that make me feel good, as well as my diet and things that look nice to me in my home. I still use skincare but I keep it to a few things that work well for the most part. Instead of whitening strips I use simple hydrogen peroxide. I don't dye my hair. Funny thing is, I just remembered that my horoscope was 'cancer, feel beautiful with or without makeup. Period. So funny.

    This is such a beautiful video, it has made me so happy, thank you! I've been slowly wearing less and less makeup over the past couple of months for the first time in years and it's so amazing, you explained it perfectly! I hated how insecure I was before and how judgmental i was of other people too (that was the worst part, I always picked apart other people's faces and was so judgmental of appearances).
    I've learned that makeup that covers up your skin (foundation, concealer) is especially harmful for the psyche bc it's meant to hide "flaws" which only makes you more insecure like you said. I still love wearing lipstick though, I have so much fun putting it on, and I love my little collection.
    Notice what you notice in others, I would never judge someone else or myself for not wearing lipstick, so I know I don't wear it out of insecurity. That's how I can tell what's okay to use and what isn't.

    I feel so ugly. I don’t even like my face with makeup anymore. I really want it to change though, I’m just so scared. Everyone’s used to seeing me in it. What if they don’t like me when they see me without it? What if they say something or look at me weird cus they don’t recognise me. I feel so obsessed with looking pretty but I feel like it’s not me when I’m dressing up. When I get compliments it doesn’t feel like they’re for me, it’s for this alter ego who wears makeup. Now I’ve gotten this allergic reaction on my face so I can’t really put makeup on and I do not want people to see me. I’m going to try going out a few times with very minimal makeup, maybe one day I’ll be able to go out with nothing on my face. It’s just that I haven’t had a lot of people like me growing up and everyone got a lot nicer when I got “prettier.” Especially the more weight lost. Wish me luck ig :/

Not everything is about you. The same way wearing or not wearing makeup does not dictate how much a girl accepts herself, the same way the opinion of men is not gonna change how she perceives herlsef. Guess what, she would be a sheep, if she would base her self confidence on the fact that you like her lol Also if a guy would say this bs in front of me I would run. Belittling other women based on the fact they wear makeup is just sexist bs you are trying to sell as "accepting natural" beauty.

    I really appreciate this video. I’ve been contemplating going makeup free for a few months now, and never had before. My story with makeup is very similar to yours, I started wearing it at age 13 because I was so excited to “fix” my face with makeup. Fast forward through years of learning technique and what worked for highlighting my features, I realized that I was ashamed of my natural face. So I’ve started with a gentle approach, only wearing makeup a couple times a week. I’m not sure if I’ll ever go completely makeup free, but there’s a part of me that feels like I may never accept myself if I don’t stop covering my insecurity and shunning my real face.

    I really appreciated this video and your articulate explanation of your journey and the advantages of not wearing make-up: physical, spiritual, mental, emotional. I am a totally different age from you, but also have commenced this journey, having started wearing makeup daily at the age of 13. It has always been a cover, to feel acceptable, to feel attractive, but I just got sick of it, plus the eye makeup was irritating my eyes, regardless of the brand I wore. So now I wear none. Again, it is freeing. Lots of negative comments from people: that I look ill, I look washed out, I look tired, etc but I actually don’t care; well, I do, but not enough to start up again. I think this is freeing; this is me. And like you said, I love seeing other women with no make-up; this is who we really are. I still do what I can to look presentable, but just no make-up. And I love this raw reality.

    My conclusions:
    -makeup does never look natural in real life and daylight no matter the product
    -it doesn't improve the skin it's just making texture look worse
    -it has so many unnecessary chemicals that can damage your skin, trigger ance, make skin oily
    -Its so much better to spend money in good quality skincare products instead of makeup. (Just 2-3 step routine)

    I started wearing makeup in my 20s and it was a choice I made as a fully grown person with developed personality and set of values. It's just for fun, sometimes to make me feel better, sometimes to express myself artistically. But it doesn't define me. Personally I think that 12yo is way too early. It doesn't have too but it can be very dangerous for mental health of a teenage person, especially if there are no adults around who could explain things. I have a daughter and if one day she tells me she wants to do makeup I'll help her and talk to her about it and let her make an informed decision.
