Like who are you to judge WHY people wear makeup? Wait! For many women (at least those I'm familliar with) wearing makeup and perfect skin (if there really is such a thing) have nothing to do with each other. It seems that the women who don't wear the makeup (or use it *very* sparingly) have decided that they wish to be liked for their personalities and not their looks. This is why I think they are much more interesting. They aren't trying to put up a phony front or be someone they're not -- what you see is what you get. If I decide I like one of them, it's for what they are, not how they look or what they wear. > I personally *feel* ugly as sin without it because my skin has been > plagued with acne and has resulted in scarring and I feel a definite > necessity to help my image of myself by trying to look the best I > possibly can. Looking the best I can means wearing makeup to hide > marks and I have never thought anything more about it than that. I understand your reason for wearing makeup. Since I don't have this problem I've never had to deal with it and therefore, have never given it much thought. I wonder, if it's *that* important to you, do you really want to spend the rest of your life trying to hide it? I guess I'd look into plastic surgery *only* to remove the scars and return my face back to what it *should* be. How does that sound? The money for all the makeup would probably exceed that of the surgery eventually right? > I have very pretty > features, just not very good skin. And since, in my opinion, your > skin is your whole face, having good features does my self image > no good. Enough said... No! Don't ever just give up, but you shouldn't spend the rest of your life trying to hide something or in pain. I know, I got a root canal to look forward to in the near future... ahhhh!
