I've recently started wearing a bit more makeup than normal but some people have told me it's a bit much, which has made me doubt it. Should I wear less or leave it?

I think it looks nice you shouldn't put so much lipstick in the corners of your mouth though.

You should do what makes you happy :) if you want to wear a lot of makeup, do it. same with if you want to wear no makeup at all. but I agree with Mrs B, it looks good, just the corners of your mouth is what I would take a little off of.

Idiots (people) think that "too much makeup" is just dark/vibrant makeup. Even if I just wore mascara and red lipstick, people would give me that stupid fucking comment. So flip it to the h8rs and keep doing your thing! But if you're using brow makeup, make lighten up on it / disperse it a bit 👍, as natural looking brows are in! If your brows are naturally like tht then WOW lucky yoi.

People also tell me I wear a lot of makeup (well, behind my back ) but others tell me my skin look flawless and stuff so don't listen to them, wear what makes you feel confident and beautiful :) you're also beautiful without!

I don't think you wear to much. You just enhance your features. The before one is a natural look type:)

What are you wearing exactly? Lipstick & eyeliner doesn't count as " too much makeup" to me.

I have fakies on as well as a new crème foundation, blush, lip liner, eyeliner & mascara. I put this up because some of friends have been telling me it's way too much & I wanted a second opinion :)

Well, you look just as beautiful in the second picture, so it doesn't seem like you need full face foundation unless you want it. Your skin looks pretty evenly toned. I usually just use concealer for problem areas. I feel like mascara, eyeliner, lip liner and blush are like embellishments that just give you even more prettiness. :) What's "fakies?" sorry if I should know this :P.

WAIT they're eyelashes, aren't they? If they are, then I'll tell you how I feel about them. I think they're a hassle to get on and off, and the Maybelline falsies one apparently sheds some lashes on your face as they can fall off. Some mascaras really help define lashes though... maybe trying to maximize how many things a product does might help you use less stuff so you don't feel like you're using too many things.

If people are noticing that you are wearing "too much", then maybe you are wearing it a little thick.
From that picture though, I can't tell if your makeup is cakey or not so that may be something to consider if you feel it is.
And I agree with the girls about the lipstick in the corner of your mouth...

The lipstick looks like that because of the way I'm smiling I think & I usually only wear fakies when I feel like my eyes look small & dull.

Do what makes you feel comfortable :) it does suit you, but it depends if you want to wear that much all the time or just for special occasions :) but honestly do what you want, you don't want to go out not feeling confident! I wear lots of makeup all the time because that's how I like it, despite what anyone else thinks

I think you should wear the amount you feel most comfortable.

More light on the lipstick but apart from that it looks fine x

You look really pretty without :) and maybe the red lipstick is the one that makes your makeup look so bold, maybe if you had a different color it could make the look look more natural.

What colour would you recommend instead of red? Like a light pink or something?

Maybe wear a lighter (not too much lighter) shade of red. And not too much in the corners. But other than that, it's a good amount.
