thats a nasty thing to say about Beyonce shes gorgeous must be a very jealous person saying why not take up a real cause in life maybe enrol in an educational course in something?

Alright idiot,
I bet she way more beautiful than you could ever hope to be. Your just jealous! Not to mention, I can tell your trying to hard to think of something bad to say about Beyonce because seriously? Drag Queen? That's all you could come up with? Now if she were really ugly it wouldn't be hard to come up with a better insult.
Idiots should be seen not heard dear.

That is RIDICULOUS. Make-up does not add or take away from a womans beauty. I almost never wear make-up and people compliment me on my skin all the time. Just because you're shallow doesn't mean you should belittle anyone who decides to be natural. Besides, the look is not attractive. Thick eye liner is never cute, for a night out or daily wear.

So, a lack of make up makes women look like slobs? Serious reality check needed babe. I think the lack of make-up shows a greater pride in one's appearance, not a false confidence drawn on in your vanity mirror. Wearing make up doesnt make you any less of a women and does not compromise one's pride or feminism. Quite the opposite indeed. Natural beauty prevails any day. Namaste :)

I only wear eye makeup because my skin is oily and face makeup makes me break out. But thanks to my genes, I look 10 years younger than I am :) Also, lots of makeup makes me look old... I don't know about you, but I don't want to look like an old hag with tons of makeup caked on my face. But that's just me.

THANK YOU for you reply to those above... I am RIGHT there with you. To me an, Make-up is about art and expression. Of course it's also suppose enhance your natural beauty! If it's the same old crapola every season what is that communicating? What fun is that? 'Zzzzzz' to those women who don't mix it up. EVEN if it risks the fashion police.

Bravo!!! You are absolutely right. Lady should be look like a lady not like a tired old housewife. This days woman in their 70-s loking much more attractive and elegant then the ones in their 20-s and 30-s, because of the way they taken care of their appearance. No wonder we can see more often older lady in the company of the younger man.

In all honesty, I think most women care about their appearance just fine. There is no shame in not wearing makeup. It's usually BETTER for your skin not to cake it up with makeup, so in many cases, chances are the women who opt not to wear makeup are doing so in order to take care of their skin. I know I choose to use powder foundation because it helps control oil on my nose, for instance. I used to never use the stuff at all until I needed it for a show and realized it made my nose feel better oil wise. I also know until I discovered the stuff, I never used liquid foundations that were available because I knew they made me break out, which was unattractive and unhealthy.

There are plenty of ways to be proud of being female that don't involve obsessing over makeup. The media is putting PRESSURE on women to dye hair, wear makeup, dress a certain way, be a certain weight, and that is not what being a woman should entirely be about. I think the woman who is proud of her femininity is the one who is true to herself and wakes up and chooses to maybe lay off the foundation for a day or two until the zit from the new stuff that didn't work so well goes away, or chooses to wear makeup whether it be mainstream or different looking because it is what she likes for herself. Or the woman who decides she DOESN'T need the stuff at all, because women should be respected for who they are rather than how they look.
