What cosmetics do you wear? (Men, you too!)

Contributor: PassionQT PassionQT
I love makeup, but sometimes I like giving my skin a break. I am not one to carry around all my makeup in my purse though ,just some lip products to re-apply when I'm out. Lately I'm really loving KAT VON D stuff...

If you ladies are looking for an awesome black eyeliner, her Trooper Tattoo Liner rocks for cateyes. It's the best one I've every used, but it costs $18. Totally worth it though..the Maya Brown is ok, but the other colors aren't pigmented enough.

Lipstick, eyeshadow, liner, brows and a little blush every single day.

I've never once felt "pressured" to wear make-up but holy hell do I feel pressured on all sides NOT to wear it. I live in a very crunchy-granola liberal feminist area and the amount of unsolicited "advice" (ranging from actual advice to flat out insults) I get about how I need to stop "whoring for the man" is just... wow. Lots of girls have told me they're uncomfortable with the amount of makeup I wear daily but it's just something I've always done. I like wearing it and it's "my style" so to speak.

I don't even feel like that's really high maintenance or anything - it takes me all of five minutes at the most. I've been rocking the black eyeliner, gray eyeshadow and red lipstick look for over a decade so I can almost do it with my eyes closed!!!

If I'm doing a photoshoot, or going out to a nightclub or a party or something I'll probably break out the foundation, liquid eyeliner, fake lashes, rhinestones, all that awesome over-the-top stuff.

(I really hate foundation though - I've been blessed to have pretty nice skin and rarely if ever wear foundation or powder outside of a costume or a photoshoot)

I don't feel pressured to wear make up. I use mascara frequently and sometimes bronzer/blush but no foundation or lipstick really. Chapstick/Balm is different.

I wear makeup probably 4 times a week. I really like having it on, but I like being natural the best.

I always wear a moisturizer and a lipstick of some kind, but most days I wear a foundation of some sort with eyeliner and mascara.

I definitely feel like I am viewed as less attractive for not caring about such things, but I don't really care about that, I guess.

I don't feel pressured to at all, but it seems like almost everyone around me cakes it on. That kind of drives me to stay away from it. lol.

I am not pressured to wear makeup, just a personal preference. I rarely leave my house without some form of eye makeup.

I rarely wear makeup, but almost everyone else at work does, so I kind of feel like I should. I can't be bothered though. The only times I wear makeup is if I'm going out to a special event, and then I wear concealer, eye liner, mascara and lip gloss.

I don't wear it daily, but when I do I just use mascara and eyeliner. My boyfriend tells me I'm beautiful without it.

The only times that I wear any kind of make-up are for special occasions. (Make that super-special occasions. Generally meaning I'm in someone's wedding, or something.) I was 8 when my mom died, and I never really had anyone to show me how to put it on (not to mention I'm kind of lazy). Unless someone is applying it for me I really can't be bothered.

Plus, I'm so used to seeing myself without it that the few times I do have any on I think I look weird.

Daily, I'll wear foundation, brow powder, eyeliner, eyeshadow, and mascara. I like it because it makes me feel put together!

I don't own or wear makeup but I like it on others in some situations. Mostly I find it strange, especially when people go for a "nude" look.

I wear eyeliner sometimes, just because I like men in eyeliner.

I look like a corpse without some blusher on my cheeks. If I'm just hanging around at home I don't bother with make-up. But for work or going out to, I always put my "face" on.

I usually just use lip gloss. I'll use concealer sometimes, but rarely do I go full out on lipstick, eyeshadow, mascara, etc. Those are for very, very, very special occasions.

I don't wear makeup. I will to a wedding or funeral but that's about it.

I wear lipstick and eyeliner every day. In the spring I use a little cover up under my eyes cause I get allergy dark circles. I add mascara and a little powder on Sundays. Only for special occasions do I do the whole makeup thing.

I wear so little - just foundation and eyeliner - that sometimes, people tell me they didn't realize I wear it at all. On days off work, I usually go without, even if I am out and about.

I frequently wear concealer and foundation to hide rosacea. If I'm going out I wear eyemakeup and a neutral lip color or tinted balm. I'm not a fan of lipstick.

I don't feel pressured to wear makeup, but I genuinely enjoy it. I like experimenting with how I look, not limited to makeup of course. But makeup is easy to play with and change and cheap(er) than a lot of other options.

The only time I wear makeup is if it's a "special" night, such as: going out with the boyfriend, a romantic restaurant, a huge family gathering, or to prepare a naughty outfit for a great sexy night! That, or I'll wear makeup for cosplay reasons.
