So now that I am in my 30s and have a daughter I’ve come to the realization I don’t need to wear makeup everyday or to be pretty, just this last month somedays I don’t wear any and if I do it’s minimal maybe some mascara. Random I know but I am curious who grew up in a house with a parent who made them feel like to look “pretty” you needed makeup? I don’t ever want my daughter to feel like she needs it, I now only do it because I want to and I always want her to feel the same that she doesn’t need it but if she wants to she can.

I was trying to explain this to DH cause he never understood why I felt I needed to wear it. So now I am wondering who else went through this

About explaining it to dh. I think it's sweet he doesn't understand why you feel you need to wear it. He thinks you're beautiful and attractive without it

I didn't grow up with my mother wearing makeup or any of the women around, really. I don't wear it, other than a lip gloss, a lipstick, chapstick, or vaseline, lol.

Makeup honestly looks like a lot of work 😩 and it's expensive. I was watching a makeup video, and the lady said it takes her a hour or 2 to do her makeup. I'm too spontaneous for makeup, lol. I did try some powder over my sunscreen once because it had a horrible white cast. And I like bb creams, they even out my complexion. But it's so hard to find a shade dark enough. Time, cost, complexity, and the ability to find shades that match well make me not excited about makeup.

It is a lot of work with how busy we are I have zero time 😂
And it’s very sweet, he absolutely says he thinks I am naturally beautiful and I love him even more for that. 🥰

If you decide to wear it and she asks... just tell her you wanted to be fancy that day.

My mom wore makeup often not so much anymore. I fill in my eyebrows even if it’s just to get groceries. Maybe mascara. My eyebrows are very light and non existent so I hateeee them.
I personally love makeup but I haven’t done a full face in years cause my kids are wild.

My mom won’t leave her house without makeup and hair styled. I wore a full face of makeup every day in middle and high school, now I only wear it for church.

Mine won’t either, heck I’ve FaceTimed Her before and asked where she was going cause she had a full face on and she said no where 😅.
Through middle school and high school also most of my adulthood I wouldn’t leave the house without it, sometimes I found myself putting it on at home 🤦🏻‍♀️

My mom is a tom boy. Always has been, so she never wore makeup. When I started showing interest in makeup in middle school, she had no complaints and bought what I wanted. I always wore makeup daily and then after I had the boys from when I woke up until I went to bed I wore makeup, and I did that for 4 years. After that, I switched and don't wear makeup unless I have an event to go to.

My mom was never like that. My MIL is and has made comments in passing about me not wearing makeup. My husband always stands up for me and tells her to stop trying to make me walk around looking like a clown 😂😂. He tells her he hates it and likes my face for how it is. Shes backed off in the past few years but it was a lot when we first were dating.

@caffeinequeen., yeah I’m a slop show now because of him lol.

We have two daughters and a son so we make sure all of our kids know that we like them for who they are and however they were made. They don’t need to make changes for us to like them. My older daughter is picking up on some of the bullshit from her grandmother but for the most part she gets it. Which is great because she’s only 5.

Makeup was never worn in my house growing up, unless my mom had to go to a charity event. I only wear makeup on special occasions or if I feel a need to (some days you just need to doll up for you), but my sister plasters it on on a daily basis (she has a lot of skin damage and is very conscientious about it).

Makeup is as needed for events. Most days of the year I am plain faced. Once in a while I will add lip color for fun events and do ALL-OUT MAKEUP for cosplay events which I enjoy best. But I have no time to do such makeup on a daily bases. Wash face and go.

I grew ip with an abusive mother. Although she told me that makeup was meant for special events. She also made me feel ugly with her comments. She also never allowed makeup wear and even nail polish. I only started experimenting with cosmetics once I loved with my dad at age 14. I was a goth kid soon after. But like many things in life. It phased out by the time I was 20.

I use to feel ugly without because my mom would always make comments without I looked tired or looked better with it and being “plain” just wasnt attractive

My mom is a former farm girl who never wore makeup except for my dad's work events, and it was minimal. I don't wear make-up, if it's a big to-do I will put on some mascara and lipstick. Now on the other hand, my MIL was definitely raised like that and I can see how it effects her. When my daughter was a toddler she called my Burt's Bees lip balm my lipstick. I just don't feel like it does anything for me on a day to day basis and it's a waste. Team Natural Beauty here. I am glad you've come to this realization because you're gorgeous without it.
