So loves! Everyone who wears makeup!! Do you guys where makeup as a mask to cover up your true beauty? Why do you think it helps? Do you think makeup should of been invented? If so why? Okay so yeah that's a lot of questions but I wanted to see different peoples point of view since I do wear makeup as a mask due to people bulling me😒 but comment please! And let me know what you think.

- No. I wear makeup to cover up acne & to enhance some features.

- I think it helps because it makes me feel more confident, however I feel that I'm beautiful with or without makeup.

- Yes. I'm pretty sure some of the earliest people to wear "makeup" were the Egyptians. Men especially wore eyeliner on their waterline to keep the sun from being so harsh on their eyes. 🙈 how's that for a fun fact?

- Makeup should have been invented because, well let's face it, lots of us love it!

- As for people bullying you, I've been there. And I would be lying if I said it's easy to get through. But you are gorgeous. I think it's safe to say that those "bullies" won't mean a damn thing in a few years from now as long as you know that you love and value yourself. 💕

I don't wear makeup as a mask and I don't think it helps me in anyway. I wish makeup gave me confidence like some say it does them but that's just not the case for me. Yes, because it's an art. A form of expression. There are people like myself who are creative but have the drawing skills of a cat but we can still be creative through makeup which I think is a good thing :)

I think I used to wear it as a mask, for the same reason as you, but I think I do it more for myself now. Because I feel better about myself in it, and it's built my self confidence a lot, and I'm pretty glad it was, it let's people fix what they perceive as flaws and it lets people enhance their natural self. It's helped my sense of self worth a lot, and many of my friends as well.

I don't wear make up to cover up my true beauty.. I wear it to emphasize what I already have. Foundation helps to even out my skin and make it look more radiant I guess and pulls the look together! I'm glad it was invented but my bank account suffers! why do people bully you? :( Your a gorgeous looking girl and you don't need it as a mask :) don't let anyone bully you wear make up because you want to!

Are you in high school? If so I just want to say one thing, if you get bullied and you have to wear makeup because you feel that way, just remember that those people aren't going to be around when you finish school, you'll probably never see them again and their opinions shouldn't matter to you, just live your life the way you want to. I'm not saying don't wear makeup, because I wore makeup since 8th grade full face because I also got bullied, took me 5 years to realise those people make a minuscule mark on the person I am now and I wish my 14yr old self would've been like "whatever bitches, deal with it" because honesty people in high school are just there for a small time in your life and I've had NOT ONE of my "friends" from high school keep in contact with me. I guess what I'm trying to say is those people that bully you don't mean shit lol, they'll get over it; you shouldn't have to change who you are because of their point of view (that shouldn't matter)

To answer your questions though; I used to wear makeup as a mask, I'd literally sit there every morning like "yeah, let's put my face on" lol, my foundation back then was caaaaked, I didn't care because my freckles were covered; which is what I got bullied for, yay ginger people problems lol. But now I don't try to cover my freckles, I don't aspire to sit doing my foundation for 2 hours anymore because it don't need to, I leave my house with just my brows done whereas 3 years ago, I couldn't leave my house without a full face.

I don't see makeup being a bad thing, it's just like any other form of art tbh, like painting, etc. So I'm glad it was made, it brings a lot of people joy so why not.

I personally used to wear it as a mask, but now I wear it to enhance my good features and distract from bad ones. I'm glad makeup was invented, otherwise I wouldn't be able to make my eyes stand out to distract from a crooked nose and gappy and overlapping teeth. I've always been bullied, and I still am about the fact that my nose isn't straight or the fact that everyone got braces and now have perfect teeth and mine are gappy. I've accepted it as a fact of life because I can't change the way they act but I can change the way I react. Just carry on and do what you have to do to get to where you want to be, for me that means saving up for high end makeup and future braces.

No I don't hate or love how I look. but it's what I'm good with

it's helps if you feel insecure about acne , acre scars , uneven skin tone etc.

I think makeup is a great invention personally. it's a different kind of art in my opinion. but your face is a canvas 😂 makeup is actually what I have a passion for. it's a way for me to feel confident walking around. I wear makeup because of bullying too. but if it wasn't for those bullies I wouldn't have been so excited to get ready in the morning and I wouldn't have been so sure of what I want to grow up to be.

and block out the haters (have you seen that vine "sorry. I didn't see ya there I was to busy mmblockin out the haters."😂. sorry off topic) as I was saying before I interrupted myself. you don't have to listen to them in every way you are perfect even if your skin isn't. one day those bullies won't knock you down but push you up. those bullies might be causing you pain now. but. without knowing it. they'll just make you stronger. WHAT DOESNT KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGA!! sorry. again. and your not using it as a mask. your bring out your true beauty that they haven't noticed yet. 😘

I believe no one wears it as a mask. Makeup can't hide your true self, it can only add to it :) I used to think the same way as you, but I learned that makeup is just to add to your already existing beauty ☺️ I mostly just wear eyeliner and pale makeup, as well as a ton of foundation because I have terrible skin 😂

I tried to wear it to cover my face, but I got so busy that I stopped caring over time. Sometimes I'll use it for certain effects if there's an occasion, but no longer every day. Besides, my skin has many problems, so it's hard to remove :P. For me, if I focus on doing what will make me successful, I tend to forget about all my insecurities. But if you're being bullied, ignore them and remember that they are not being good people, and know that karma will kick their butts.

You are truly beautiful no matter what, so don't let any bullies make you feel bad about yourself. Pretend like they don't exist. How dare they insult your beauty!

I will admit I wear makeup as a mask a fair bit, even though my friends & bf tell me I don't need it, because I, like most of you lovely people, have my "COVER IT ALL UP NOW" days. It's my not-so-secret shame.

But you are a beautiful person & you shouldn't listen to the haters, as my mom always says to me, they're jealous that they can't be you :)
