Same with a lot of anti-acne products.

Same here. That's just too much. Some girls just aren't natural beauties and need it though.
Hm, I think it depends. I've certainly heard the claim. I have very sensitive skin though, so it doesn't really matter what I wear. I'll rash up and break out regardless.

lol Wut?
Everything I know is a lie.
I always wonder if I have nice skin because I almost never wear make up and the second I start doing it regularly that'll change. :/
My skin was nice up until my senior year of college, then the stress caused me to break out. I put on some make-up to cover that up, and it was a downward spiral from there. Several years later I quit face make-up cold turkey (sounds like a drug) and it took a year for my face to get back to normal.
I don't recommend it!
cocaine is a hell of a drug
Seriously, this makes me reconsider that one time were i felt like a boss because the hottest chick in the place asked me for my number. Got her FB as well and every single picture she has heavy make up on. I wonder how she looks like without ..
This. What most GAFers consider "no makeup" is actually still a significant amount of makeup
I know she comments on it in the video, but the colour of her make up doesn't look quite right on her, she says it matches the colour of her neck but it still looks off to me in a noticeable way. Maybe it is the lightning, but I looked in other videos of hers and the same problem of her face looking an odder shade of orange than her body just looks weird to me.
The video might hide the "imperfections", but I think she looks better in the bridal video before she puts anything else on top.
Mine and my Fiancées families are quite populated with women, so while I know better I still occasionally comment on if one of them looks ill when they have no make up on.

The girl in the OP looks cartoonish with all that makeup. She's so cute before she cakes it all on
Lol, this is amazing.
Hmm. That and pure laziness keeps me from putting it on regularly but my face is so boring without it.

I personally thought she looked great with just the foundation and under eye concealer.

Makeup can be fun. It can be appealing, mysterious, sexy, cute, colourful, ornate, gothic, punk, anything- but it's all varying degrees of costume in the end. It doesn't have to be bad or good but since it is a product, of course we are always surrounded with images trying to condition us to believe it is a necessity, and the face behind the mask is somehow "bad" or "incomplete".
"You're not an attractive enough woman without it."
It's expensive and has warped our views of acceptable, desirable, current beauty to such extremes as ganguro girls, fake tans, bleached, damaged hair, deathly black eyes, damaged skin, lighter wallets and an even heavier sense of ugliness.
I appreciate what makeup can do and why people enjoy it, but when it is not for something special only- when you're everyday face isn't special enough, it makes me kind of sad that this is what so many women and men see as true beauty as opposed to costume flair for special occasions.

It can be crazy. There was one pageant girl that showed herself without make up and she was covered in zits and blisters from acne.

Wonder if all the makeup helped cause it or all the makeup was used because she already had a problem.

Yeah, makeup can do some crazy things. My GF likes to play around with it a lot trying different things..
So yeah, she was able to make herself look like Michael Jackson with about an hour of makeup experimentation. It was terrifying. :lol

Wow.Girls can wear as much makeup as they want, but when I walk down the street with just A BIT of blush and mascara, people call me a freak. How's that for gender equality?

The one in the op is particularly dramatic because she's changing the skin tone of her face. Trick is to look at her neck or other parts of her body in comparison to the face. For instance look at her hand while she's putting this shit on.

That was creepy. I turned it off after 10 seconds. I got the basics of what the OP was talking about, but watching anymore made me feel like an old creeper.

You know..I understand the point of this picture, but I wish they didn't completely change some of her facial features to drive home the point. Yeah I know it's just a cartoon, but they purposely changed her facial expression (made her look sad) and made her look tired in her eyes (not talking about the lines which the makeup covers up..I'm talking about how they make it look like she is squinting) to make it obvious. Anyway..yeah a lot of people don't realize that people with "no makeup" sometimes have some foundation and eye liner on still.

She looks better without makeup, as I prefer her pre-makeup application.

I never got why her boobs grew the less makeup she had.
I willing to make the trade off for bigger boobs.

Yah. One of my friends wears a TON of makeup and when we go to the spa it's... frightening. I'm sure if she took a break for a few months it would smooth out, but her face is wrecked...
You can get away with a bit, but I hardly wear any and my skin is in waaay better shape than my friends who go for that porcelain doll look (up close it's cakey and bumpy). The place where I ever did stuff (eyelashes) suffered from the curling and they're not as thick as they used to be now. Avoid it in general and wash it all off asap if you do, I say.
