What's up with everybody with Nautral make up?

This thread is cracking me up, its like battle of the naturals and colors haha.

My personal opinion is that make up is used for two things, confidence + feeling happy in your skin, and creativity. Make up is an art, so Its fun playing with different colors, funky lipsticks, bright eyeshadows, brow shapes and sparkle eye lashes, and posting that kind stuff on here is fun. But for everyday make up I do tune it down quite a bit, because with make up, less is more, and more is...tacky. Or at least on me it is. (you guys are all so gorgeous, I think you can pretty much pull of anything.) So I guess my everyday look is more natural looking. Really comes down to personal preference. Different people use make up for different things. Some people use it to "enhance what they have" and all that, and some people use it artisticly with colors. People can do whatever makes them most confident, sometimes its natural, sometimes it colorful. You girls are all beautiful either way.

Who the hell is Julie and why are we yelling at a Julie? I don't see a Julie. Is she invisible? I am so confused right now.

Not all crazy colors are obnoxious if you know what your doing.

Totally agree with Jes. Makeup is what you want it to be. =)

I love bright colors. It took me a year to convince myself that buying a brown eye shadow was okay. My most natural looks is doing a pin up style winged liner, most of the time it's a different color than black. I'm a color fanatic. Besides it seems like everyone's definition of neutral or natural is if the shadow is brown, highlight shades, or taupe. Excuse me but a shimmery brown smoky eye is not neutral looking!

I agree I love wearing colorful makeup!! I do the occasional natural look when I'm short for time.. but most of the time I prefer bright and fun looks! :)) yay bright lip colors!!

I love bright colors.. but not on my face (except for the lips). most people just don't feel confortable with very bright colors.. that's why they go for natural shades.

Personally I like the natural look, spokespeople like it more because it show's the way yoyo truly Srebrenica and not behind a, thick layer of makeup.

Personally I think that make up should enhance your beauty , not make you look like a cake with icing gone totally wrong.

Guys and society like the "natural" look. It would b hard to rock a bright colorful look if your trying to b professional. If your in the fashion or makeup/art industry, it's probably fine but most aren't. A lot of guys don't like the intense creative makeup looks. It's probably fine if the guy your tryin to date is artistic.

Well I still don't see a point behind this whole thing right now cause all I see is everyone bashing on one thing to the next.

Colors are colors. Who cares? Yes, make-up is an actual art just like nails and hair. I get the whole during the day natural/neutral look but to wear it at night is kinda...well I'm not going to say cause it'll offend people. But anywho, my grandma (note shes in her late 60s) got a job and shes super dark and wears this funky color to work. Okay, so where does it say in a book of rules that you cannot wear color? It doesn't. Work place has nothing to do with make-up. Its implated into every man and woman's skull that it has to be that way. As for the next part, we are here to boost confidence correct? We are not here to judge, we are incapable of doing so unless we judge ourselves first. If you see a girl who is wearing a bright blue color on dark skin, don't say "you need to put natural colors on" no. thats just plain out rude in my honest full opinion. What you do is help them look for the correct shade that suits their tone. Like me, I had this horrible tan for a while and wore a frost blue. Worst mistake ever. I had to actually find a correct shade of blue to match my skin.

But anyway, if people wanna bash on bright colors go for it. But here, its not okay to do so. Were here to help others. And for the people who helped me here I am grateful for. They were blunt and to the point because I don't get offended easy.

At this point, I truly wish Jeffree would read this. Right now I believe he would be highly disappointed that woman are just blowing up over make-up. How I see it, if your going to blow up about it, do it elsewhere. I understand we have a choice to voice our opinions, but when your going to abuse it by saying "fuck" then thats immature in my defense. And to many of you beautiful people here I'm just a mere child who too is trying to voice their opinion.
As for one last thing I read about going on dates. If a man cannot accept you by the make-up you wear, then by all means hes shallow as hell. I do not believe in high expectations and men shouldn't either. Just voicing it out there.

Makeup to me is having fun and feeling good about yourself, I hate when people think there should be rules for makeup, in the end of the day all that matters is what makes you feel great and not what others think, once you feel good in it. But I so agree with you about peope always talking about natural makeup. For me I use heavy makeup as an everyday makeup and I can't see why that only should be limited to evening wear.
Makeup are an type of art as well, and colorful makeup only makes it even more experimental!
- some people want neutral others wear colorful and it should just be fine no matter what as I said before makeup shouldn't be limited!
But most important, for me, it doesn't matter what other people think, I just want to have fun and feel great with my makeup!

I guess I missed something here cause I really feel like there is way more anger here than warranted. Most of the post I've seen have said something to the effect of "I prefer neutral/bright colors, to each their own."

It's your face, make it up how you want to. No reason to get all defensive or overly critical of how someone else prefers to do their makeup.

I don't hate when people wear Neutral colors, but I hate when people comment on my makeup that they don't like it just because its colored.

Like mentioned earlier, good makeup enhances your beauty, whatever colours are used. Bold makeup looks great in certain settings but a bright green lipstick is usually not preferable according to social convention except maybe on St. paddies.

Absolutely no discussion about makeup should involve a male and dating. Men already have enough privilege in this generation. We don't need to give them more involving makeup and what goes on our face. Majority of the time, a guy can't even tell the difference between no makeup and makeup. Leave men out of this. They don't matter. (And not everybody likes men romantically either...)

And society has a whole can go and kiss it.

Okay this is how I see it. People can wear whatever the hell they want to wear. It's all personal preference. If someone wants to wear neutral shadows, more power to them. If someone wants to wear the entire rainbow on their lids, more power to them. It's all about what they feel comfortable wearing. You don't have to feel like wearing it to please other people, especially anyone you want to date/impress. It's your face, other people shouldn't dictate what you wear on it. I'll fess up to wearing almost exclusively neutrals. But do you see me calling people colour snobs or neutral snobs? NO. Just let people wear what they want, coloured or not. I imagine that the point of the thread when it started was to see if other people enjoyed coloured eyeshadows, not to call people out for wearing neutrals all the time.

I personally prefer a more natural look for the eyes (like winged liner) because my eyes are big, which means that a lot of product makes them look small sometimes. However, I like to wear full face foundation with bronzer and highlighter. (: it's all about personal preference, I mean some people can't pull of bright neon colors.

Because everyone has different preferences and things they are trying to achieve? I don't understand why this is even a discussion, to be frank. I love bold and dramatic makeup. Heavy contouring, bold eyeshadow and gorgeously thick brows make me all giddy inside. BUT, I don't like how it looks on me & that's not what I am attempting to achieve when I use makeup. Unlike some, I personally don't use makeup as an artistic outlet, I just wear it to enhance my best features and hide my flaws in a natural-looking way. It makes me feel confident, polished and "together", and isn't that the point of makeup generally?
Wearing makeup to make yourself feel prettier in a natural-looking way, is fine. Wearing a blue lipstick or thick black eyebrows to express yourself or achieve a bold ook, is amazing too! Expecting everyone to wear makeup like you feel it should be worn, is asinine.

Just do what YOU want to do, & quit concerning yourself so much with what other people are or are not doing.

I didn't understand this whole natural vs dramatic feud when it was against dramatic makeup, & I don't understand it now. Let people wear what they want to wear without trying to make them feel bad about it. ARG

& Rikki, if I could marry that last comment of yours, I would ^_^

At the end makeup is whatever you want it to be, but lets just have fun and I agree, if someone wants to bash on people do it somewhere and not here on beautylish!
