1. I don't wear makeup 98% of the time. Am I unsophisticated? Er, probably, but that's a matter of opinion lol

2. It's usually a tinted moisturiser, mascara and bush. Occasionally tinted lipbalm. I am a big fan of Dior Show and Tarte.

3. I like it, but not everyone needs it. My allergies make it hard to fin stuff that doesn't react with my skin. I am horribly allergic to Laura Mercier TM for example. I had blisters on my face for 2 weeks after.

I think it depends on the woman and the setting. I do think if you show up to a professional work environment without a smidgen of make up on, you might be a wee bit unsophisticated. But as I only wear make up once or twice a week, I'm not sure I have much room to speak.

When I do wear make up, it's some CVS I think Milani eyeliner, a bit of eyeshadow usually from Maybelline, Almay color match blush, cover girl lipstain, and and ELF lip gloss.

(1) Do you think women who don't wear makeup are unsophisticated? Nope. I truly don't.

(2) What makeup do you wear? List items, brands, and prices. Pur Minerals 4-in-1 foundation, it's like...$30? I think. Tarte undereye concealer. I think it's 14 or 20, can't remember. Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner. I bought a set for $30ish a long time ago. Tarte mascara, I think it's $15-$20. Whatever cheap lipgloss that I like. I have a million. Average price - $6. Too Faced Shadow Insurance - came with a set. Blush, Physician's Formula, it's a shimmery rose blush, I think it was $9. I have been using the Naked Palette a lot lately after not, that was $45ish, but it lasts forever and has a million eyeshadows.

(3) Do you have any other relevant opinions re makeup? Don't use things that are tested on animals. I also wear makeup maybe once a week. I'm really not wearing it much anymore, at all. My moisturizer and lip gloss makes me look presentable, imho.

No, but I think *most* women look better with at least some make up on.

(2) What makeup do you wear? List items, brands, and prices.

How long do you have?

(3) Do you have any other relevant opinions re makeup?

Of course, I have relevant opinions about everything.

(1) Do you think women who don't wear makeup are unsophisticated? Unsophisticated? Not really. I do think most people benefit from just a little, though.

(2) What makeup do you wear? List items, brands, and prices.
Lorac tinted moisturizer $32 (just switched from pur minerals)
Mary Kay loose powder (have no idea what the price is. It's the only powder I had laying around and I needed one after switching to the tinted moisturizer)
Blush, Amazing Cosmetics in hot pink $22
Bath and Body works lip gloss. I think it's $8
Lipliner- some cheap brand I buy at Wal Mart. I've been using it for years and it's cheap and awesome. I think it's like $4
Mascara, No7. I LOVE it. It's the only mascara I have found that stands up to the Texas summer humidity. I went without mascara in the summer forever before I found this. I got it at Target for about $10.
Eyeshadow, Mac as a powderliner and Physician's Formula as a highliter. I think each is about $12.
Primer, purminerals. I think it's $20-$30
Conclear, Mac, not sure of the price


(3) Do you have any other relevant opinions re makeup?

I need it!

1.) My mom doesn't wear make up. I don't think of her as unsophisticated, I just think that no one ever taught her how to wear make up. Her mother and father were both farmers, so she grew up on a farm, and rode horses and stuff. I really dont even think she wore make up at her wedding. If she did, it was a very tiny amount, like blush and lipstick. Thats it.

2.) I wear drugstore make up, so it's all pretty cheap, like under $15.00 per item, mostly under $8.00.
I wear foundation, bronzer, blush, eyeliner, eyeshadow and mascara every day. I also curl my eyelashes every day.
I might wear more/different make up for special events, but generally my make up stays the same 99%of the time.

3.) I think younger girls wear to much/too old of style make up WAY to early these days. I didn't wear make up until I was in middle school (7th grade for my school system). And I have 4th grade students with a full face of make up now.

[pantsparty]

I don't think women who don't wear makeup are unsophisticated, but I do think most women look good with some makeup.

I wear eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, lip gloss, and powder on a daily basis. I use MAC shadows ($14?), Revlon eyeliner ($8?), L'oreal mascara ($8?), Makeup For Ever powder ($30?), MAC blush ($20?) and Curel pink lip gloss ($3).

I really don't spend that much time on my makeup and don't look too made up when I'm done. When I wear foundation, I definitely look more made up, but my skin looks better, too. I only wear that a couple of times a week, max.

[janegold]

1. Not necessarily. I can think of many reasons why one might not wear makeup. Lack of sophistication is only one of them.

2. I use the following on an everyday basis - the prices took a lot of work to research!:
- Aveeno Positively Radiant tinted moisturizer ($18ish dollars?)
- MAC Studio Finish concealer ($18)
- MAC Studio Fix power ($27)
- Nars bronzer (in Laguna) ($34)
- Tarte Amazonian Clay blush (in Blissful) ($25)
- Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner ($22)
- YSL Faux Cils or Singulier mascara ($30)
- Various eyeshadows from Urban Decay Naked Palette ($50)
- some kind of tinted lipgloss or lipstick - not too picky


3. I need at least concealer and mascara to feel like I look decent. I have very dark undereye circles from severe allergies and my eye lashes are blonde and practically invisible without mascara. I wish I had great skin.

[Muddled]

My first thought when I see a woman without makeup in a work setting is generally something like, "I wish I could do that."

I don't have the confidence to pull it off.

(1) Do you think women who don't wear makeup are unsophisticated? Not necessarily, no. I think a woman who is well groomed (eyebrows, etc) and bare-faced can look much more sophisticated than another with a face full of too much makeup.

(2) What makeup do you wear? List items, brands, and prices.
Day to day when I leave the house, I usually put on a bit of Chanel vitalumiere aqua foundation, mostly just to the center of my face to even out skin tone. Some Bobbi brown corrector under my eyes, set with some Laura mercier loose powder. Either blush or bronzer (tarte Amazonian clay blush in tipsy or smashbox bronze lights in suntan matte), and I usually curl my eyelashes but don't always put mascara. If I wear mascara it's blinc or maybelline.

(3) Do you have any other relevant opinions re makeup?
Most of the time, less is more. I'm talking application moreso than # of products.

[Deleted]

I don't wear makeup because I just don't care, not because I don't need it. I'm sure I need it.

About once a year, I think about starting to wear makeup.

And then I ask this question. And then I don't do anything.

This is that once-a-year time. LOL.

[sessy]

(1) Do you think women who don't wear makeup are unsophisticated? Not really. I don't wear make-up most days and what I do wear is so light you can't even tell I have it on. Although I'm not very sophisticated so maybe therein lies your answer

(2) What makeup do you wear? List items, brands, and prices.
I use smashbox primer $36
Bare Minerals foundation $27
Mineral Veil $20
A little bit of warmth which is a bronzer $19
I also use bare minerals powdered eye shadows for special occasions
And whatever mascara I have on hand but only for special occasion.
Eye-liner I use a $7 one from target no idea what the brand is.

(3) Do you have any other relevant opinions re makeup?
Not really except I wish I had more talent/knowledge with make-up

[sawyerthedestroyer]

(1) Do you think women who don't wear makeup are unsophisticated? Depends on the woman and situation. I'm hella jealous of women that look amazing sans makeup.

(2) What makeup do you wear? List items, brands, and prices. Garnier BB Cream, Aveeno Positively radiant moisturizer, Physicians Formula powder, L'Oreal Great Lash mascara, and my mom gave some Bare Minerals eye shadow for Christmas or I'd be using yet another drug store brand. I think my PF powder is the most expensive product I buy at a whopping $13.

(3) Do you have any other relevant opinions re makeup? Nope.

Did someone call you unsophisticated, Miso?

LOL. No. I am calling myself that.

[deanlicker78]

1. No. I don't have an opinion on what others put on their faces.

2. I own so much makeup, I couldn't even list it here. It ranges from e.l.f. to mac. I love everything from dug store to high end.

3. I think people take makeup too seriously. I love it. It's like art. Right there on your face. A new canvas every day.

[Deleted]

I barely wear any. If I do it's a Neutrogena foundation with SPF 50, a little Bad Gal lash mascara and a light lipgloss over my chapstick. It takes 2 minutes. I'd rather spend my time and money elsewhere.

I do love shopping for clothes, accessories and shoes though. Makeup adds up and not a big deal to me.

See, I would have called you confident.

I like "confident."

The truth is I'm lazy.

She's right! I'm actually a secret agent/spy and I need to wear a lot of makeup to fool my boss

I also have a tail! Just a little one

[Muddled]

Go with whatever whorks for you. No one needs to know the truth.

[Deleted]

I don't think they're unsophisticated. I wear it because of my own insecurities.

My every day list includes:
-Studio Gear Primer with SPF $35
-Studio Gear Flawless Foundation $28
-Studio Gear Invisible Loose Powder $28
-Studio Gear Bronze Matte $24
-Studio Gear Cake Eyeliner $16
-Too Faced Lashgasm Mascara $21
-Urban Decay Naked Palette $50
-Urban Decay All Nighter Long Lasting Setting Spray $29
The one thing I'm not picky about is lip color. If I see a color I like I will buy it regardless of the brand.

[dcannie]

[Robot Jen]

(1) Do you think women who don't wear makeup are unsophisticated?
No. I frequently don't wear make up. If I do wear it, often I only use eyeliner/mascara. Occasionally I go all out and try out new colors or techniques.

(2) What makeup do you wear? List items, brands, and prices.
Cheap drugstore stuff, mostly.
Mabelline Great Lash mascara: Not a fan.
L.A. Colors auto eyeliner pencil: $.99 Love this. Super cheap, highly pigmented, and easily blended.
Loreal Studio Secrets eyeshadow: Also love. Very pigmented for drugstore eyeshadow.

(3) Do you have any other relevant opinions re makeup?
I get a little ruffled when people judge women who do wear make up. I don't appreciate being told I'm prettier without make up. My reasons for wearing make up are no one else's business and it's insulting for people to assume I'm hiding something or trying to make myself more attractive to them.
That being said, for me, it's a hobby. I like playing around with make up.

[baconlettucetomato]

(1) Do you think women who don't wear makeup are unsophisticated?
No. If she looks a disheveled mess and is a professional environment then I'm more likely to judge.

(2) What makeup do you wear? List items, brands, and prices.
I wear foundation and mascara daily. Um, I still can't find a good foundation. I think it's Loreal True Match right now. Mascara is Covergirl, extend-a-lash or something, purple tube in brown.

(3) Do you have any other relevant opinions re makeup?
No.

[mamasaurus]

No.

I don't wear it everyday. I get neutrogena concealer and everything else during sales at The Body Shop.

I think spending over half an hour every day on hair and makeup is for crazy people, unless you are correcting for a problem (covering up a bruise, styling to cover a haircut mistake) or going someplace special.

ETA: ditto for spending a lot of money each year on makeup.
