If you're a girl, do you feel comfortable without makeup? If you do, how did you get yourself to that point?
I am 18 and I have yet to feel okay without makeup. Mostly because I have blonde eyelashes and very blonde eyebrows so I look like a freak without it.
I see that you're in California--but of course it has a lot of social environments. I think that "feel like a freak" part relates to an attitude that personal appearance matters a lot. Where I live lots of women simply don't use makeup at all ever, and it's never commented on because it's just not a requirement. If the local interests are outdoors, ecological, maybe a few memories of the hippie era, then you can expect an anti-fashion outlook. Wear what you're comfortable in, go around with a natural face, it's all fine.
California's a long way away but could it be "Get out of Orange County and go to Mendocino"? Or maybe that's glitzy too now.
Blondie1153, you can see by reading the replies to your post that there are those that think you should do this or do that.... mainly they're telling you to go without makeup. They basically want to impose their own attitudes/ideas on you. I say to you.... do what you feel is best for you. You are not them..... they are not you. You are the best judge of how you feel best with what you do concerning your appearance. So in the end.... read the replies.... and then keep on doing if that is what you thinks works best for you. There's no right or wrong, except for the wrong when people want to impose their way on us and want us to conform to their own ideas.

Uhhh...maybe because she specifically asked, outright, "How do you get yourself to the point where you feel comfortable without makeup?"
Nobody is imposing anything, they're answering the question she asked.
And being comfortable without makeup doesn't mean never wearing it, anyway. It means just that...being comfortable with your appearance when you're not wearing any.

Fair enough TR, when one says this is how it works for me.
But what about those that are not comfortable about some aspect of their appearance, for whatever reason they may have? Should they force themselves to be comfortable?
