Wear makeup every day to hide my freckles

So some people have said I’m attractive but lately I’ve been noticing I’ve been getting more looks when I wear makeup and since I have freckles pale skin and had been teased about them ages ago i figured it’s because of that so now I’m wearing it every day and my friends have commented that I’m way too dolled up but it feels normal to me now. Except it takes me like 20 extra minutes now to get ready in the morning and my mom commented that im obsessing over my looks too much. But since I started I got commented a lot and don’t want to stop so do I need to? Or is this feeling normal?

    I'm COVERED in freckles. Definitely got joked as a young lassie. As a grown woman, men tell me all the time how much they want a lady with freckles. Wear makeup if it makes YOU happy. Fuck everyone else. Cheers.

    It's your face, and you can wear as much, or as little makeup as you want as long as it isn't clogging your pores, and causing acne.

      Well I only just started getting pimples at the start of this year around the same time I started dating my first bf and he said he still thought I was super pretty as he had seen me with my makeup off after I needed to shower and clean my face during the afternoons I used to go to his but i didnt really know if he was just being nice so since then I have been wearing it each morning anyway and i have freckles and fair skin which shows like everything too so I just think I look so much hotter with it on and it’s not cos I’m superficial I just feel less insecure now.

          I can’t afford any of the really good stuff but it’s the technique that makes it look good i think but yeah wish I could afford Lancôme (: my mum refuses to buy me any expensive makeup so I have to find stuff in $ stores

              L’Oréal true match looks good on my skin and washes off easy it’s hard to get my shade tho since I have porcelain fair skin with a bit of red in my cheeks

    I think freckles are cool! But if you like the way you look in makeup, then you wear it. But wear it because YOU like it, who cares what anyone else thinks.

    Well you don't mention your gender, if you are female and you are now getting positive attention, I mean who does not want positive attention in their life. We as humans have that desire to be desired. If you are younger then yea, you probably feel kinda giddy and smiling to your self when people are checking you out. Enjoy it.
    If you are male, well it's probably quite a change of pace. Don't worry Be happy enjoy your new aspects of life.

      I do like it but feel like I have to live up to it now every single day. Guys wear makeup? Not really saying I smile when people check me out but I do feel special and so that makes me more confident now when people are talking to me especially when they are looking at my face whereas before I used to never make eye contact or hide behind my hair and I still do that just not as much as before.

    I only wear makeup about 4 times a year and when I do, I use the adage that if others can tell you have makeup on, you're wearing too much.

    I never wanted to spend the time or expense on it, and people basically just get used to how you look anyway.

  • Lose the makeup. Show the honest you.

    I know people that need like 2h for their make up haha.
    Also I like freckles, gives you a certain unique look. I hate when everybody looks the same cuz of social standards n trends.

    But anyways, try wearing less make up from day to day, because the more often you wear it, the likelier you are to being self conscious about your face without make up. It’s also makes your skin worse, so maybe do some other skin brightening things that are good for your health too.
    That maybe doesn’t help, but when I am wearing make up I feel like I am lying, because I don’t look like that and I’m really not wearing a lot. But I get that to others it feels good, because it makes them feel pretty. I feel ugly most of the time too, but I have to deal with my fear from time to time and due to my eye rings I literally look like a vampire haha.
    If you feel pretty with all of it on, it’s like an addiction. While doing it you’re great but once worn off you crave it more. I hope I got that right.
    The true art of make up is feeling fabulous with and without it

    Are you in high school? Anyway, I would say to do what makes you feel good and don't worry about what others say. Another piece of advice, one thing I learned for myself is when I take the most care in putting on make up rather than just blotting it on any old way, is the best. Like you're taking care in drawing a picture or just scribbling a picture any old way. You will look better that way. Don't wear too much either. Anyway, good luck.

    It is normal until you start doing it to fish for more attention. I hope you work on yourself as much as you do on your looks, cause the soul matters more than anything.

      Your username suggests you're quite a bit younger than 21.

      Just about everyone goes through a phase in their teens when the approval of others is hugely important. It's also normal for teens to spend a lot of time trying out different looks and different personas as they try to figure out who they really are. So what you're doing is normal in that sense.

      Sensible people realise sooner or later that defining yourself by how others see you is a mug's game. You are who you are, and trying to be someone else just because others prefer that fake front leads to nowhere positive. If you have any degree of self-awareness, you come to see yourself as a fraud, and you realise that all your friendships are based on lies.

      If makeup makes you feel more confident and self-assured, that's great, but be aware that teenage girls have a tendency to slap on far too much makeup. More is rarely better. You might consider spending some time at a good makeup counter getting a make-over and advice from someone whose job is advising women on how to emphasise their good points and minimise the features they find less appealing.
