Why do some people get mad at people who rarely wear make up?

Make-up for women, especially young women, has become more than socially accepted, but almost socially required. Thing is, some girls wear enough make-up to the point where they don't look themselves without it. At least.... not the same 'self' they have created with the make-up. This is, of course, a result of them basically becoming dependent on it and logically, once they use and rely on it enough, it becomes impossible for them not to wear it. This is mostly because they can no longer let themselves be caught dead without it.

Girls will be late for school or work just because they needed time to put their make-up on, and will make up [no pun intended] any other excuse besides that. This is fueled by the social outcast they think they will become if anyone sees them without it. Its also a test of courage for them when waking up in the morning with someone. Many girls dread what a man will think of their appearance first thing in the morning, but most girls still look plenty cute without it.

As I eluded to above, its mostly a matter of how much make-up has become essential to the girl's life and how much she actually uses. The more she uses, the less like herself she feels without it. Again, it becomes socially required for many and becomes part of their identity. Its a result of general pressure being put on the American populace in regard to general beauty.

If I were you, and I know this will come off poorly, but I would recommend using make-up daily, but simply not much. People judge people harshly and one way to avoid judgement is to be consistent. Even if you use very little make-up, its a good habit to use the same amount daily to keep the same look and be a little more accepted in a random person's mind. Its like when a person (usually a guy) goes too long without a hair cut or an older guy goes too long without dying his hair (like a professor). Once they do it, its a shock to see them look so different all of a sudden. The same thing is happening when someone sees you without make-up versus a time when they saw you with it.

Don't use make up unless for special events, there are other ways you can make your face look good without any make-up. Try juicing a carrot, it has great effects on the skin of your body, you will notice a big difference though I've only done it twice. It not only makes you healthier but you get that natural glow you can't really get from make-up. So you're killing two birds with one stone, three infact because make-up ruins your face in the long run. Don't be like one of these girls who seem to age 30 years if they skip it one day.

The only thing I can think of is that some insecure women feel threatened by ones that take the time to put on make-up, do their hair, paint their nails, etc. because it makes them feel less feminine. They say things like, "look at ms. perfect," but it's not being perfect, it's just putting effort into your appearance. It's only vain if you judge others for not doing it and think yourself to be better.

Yeah, I barelly wear make-up, only for some special occasions and when some of my friends see me with make up they are like 'U should wear it more often!'. But its not like I feel pressure, like, no one is saying me stuff like in your case.

But, I have a friend whose mom is always nagging to her that she needs to wear more make up and what not because she doesn't look feminine enough to her. Utter BS!!

Anyone can do whatever makes them feel good and beautiful. People will always find something to be unsatisfied with.

Aren't you a dude though? I remember you being a guy for some reason.

But no, that's the stupidest thing I've heard. I've never once witnessed that. Someone whose mad because someone didn't wear enough makeup is beyond me. The less the better usually.

Like some context on when this happens. The type of people that treat you this way, if it's a group or random individuals. Your relationship to said individuals. If it's high school / college / etc. If you're in the "IN" group or not. Context.

I think these details are important to answering your question in the title.

Well some of it was high school. A lot of girls would tell me this but they also would try to s.l.u.t. shame me cause of my cloth and guys that would try to date me. I would often tell them to buzz off. Some of the other people are in college with me and others were random creepy guys.

I don't care about being accepted. I just don't understand why other people care about if I wear make up or not.To be honest and I break out when I use makeup. I'm not going to wear it and break out because some people fail to accept me.

The reason is because make-up has become socially required in a lot of people's minds, as I said before. A girl that is very used to wearing make-up and can never see themselves going in public without it obviously feels strongly regarding the topic. So if that girl were to see a friend or associate of hers go without the stuff, she is likely to react strongly on the matter and give her opinion on it. Its not that she can't stand you for not wearing it, its more likely that she can't believe you feel comfortable without it. Basically this would prove that you are more self confident than those harassing you.

You personally look plenty attractive with no make-up but in some people's minds, they simply can't wrap their head around not using make-up after it became such a norm in their life. When you say it makes you break out I don't know how much you are actually using, but I'd think a little eye-liner or subtle lipstick or lib-gloss would be more than enough to satisfy these people. If you were to try it then who knows, you might find something that makes you feel even more confident.

I wear sometimes lip gloss but I never considered it makeup.I do not believe makeup can make you more confident.When I put on makeup I feel the same as before I used it.I wouldn't use makeup to build my confidence because I see that as a crutch. I break out if I use a little makeup (blush) or a lot (foundation).

I love beauties without make up and if a girl looks beautiful without make up that means they really take care of themselves .

Because of the influence of make up did put this generation. It is everywhere, videos, shows, outside.
Many seem to see females have perfect skin and body. Now go without it and they see you like a cavewoman.

Artificial creations are taking over everything, even food.

Stay what you are, I can't believe one suggested make up for you for being secure without it...

I never wear make up and no one bothers me about it...
I feel it's not even necessary...I mean whatever. I think a lot of people look beautiful without it, it's not needed. It's a total waste of time for me anyway, I have better, more important things to spend my time own. Looks are not the most important thing in this world anyway.

This is me for the most part. I mainly wear makeup if I want to do something artistic on my face or body and than I unless take it off right after that. and people are like "wtf, you just put all that makeup on and you just removed it.How could you? Why?" and I'm like "Because I can."
