Ashamed without makeup... How could I show everyone my true face?

I understand what you're saying and I think the solution is to start by wearing natural colours for your makeup whether it is eyeshadows or lipsticks. Eventually you can tone it down a notch by wearing thinner eyeliner, and just less of it. The change should be gradual so no one will notice. Honestly speaking, if you wearing tons of makeup and decide to wake up one day and wear nothing at all, people will notice and you have to accept that. When you realize that makeup is there to enhance features, and cover blemishes not to "change" the way you look, you'll feel more confident. For example, I'm 17 and I always wear concealer, do my brows, lipstick and recently eyeliner. People can't tell I'm wearing it :) I use to wear eyeshadow, blush/bronzer, highlighter..etc to school daily but I gradually I stopped and no one noticed :) & generally speaking, makeup does make ppl look better and feel better about themselves so why not :) However, it is always good to use only as much as needed. Remember the saying--less is always more xD

First of all, you are NOT fake. being insecure without makeup happens to many girls. I used to be just like you, i wouldn't go to wal-mart without it all on. that doesn't mean i caked it on, but i did wear everything. now i can go out wearing nothing and feel fine, as long as my hair looks cute and i feel cute. that's an important thing. if you're not wearing makeup, make sure you spend extra time on other things and it will boost your confidance. if you want to start wearing less makeup sometimes, start easing away from makeup. choose your favorite facial feature and then ease yourself away from every other makeup product except the ones you're using to define that feature. do it product by product. not all at once or it will be harder. and you can also look on youtube for natural makeup ideas. there's one girl i love on youtube. i'll send you a link. hope i helped and good luck!!

Try to wear less and less makeup gradually. Don't just go from having full face makeup to nothing at all because that might be hard. And remember that people should like you for who you are, not the way you look. If they don't, then they don't deserve you. c:

Don't put yourself down by saying that you aren't beautiful without make-up. But if you insist that it's a huge problem, start by gradually decreasing the amount of make-up you wear. Lay off the heavy eyeshadows and heavy concealer/powder. Eventually you'll get a place where you aren't caked with make-up. And the plus is that people will not likely notice since it is a slow change. And about your boyfriend, I know it's really cliche to say this, but he should love you for who you are and not for the way you look. But since im also a teenage girl, i get that it's really hard not to want to look gorgeous to be with the hot guys and i get that eveyone thinks that the hot girls get the hot guys. But if you think that he's not going to want to be with you just becuase you may look less beautiful without the makeup, maybe you should reconsider getting serious with this guy. It may be hard, but it'll pay off in the long run. At the same time, you may not be giving him enough credit. How do you know that he wont love the way you look without make-up??? Hope this helps.

I can totally identify! For 4 years I wore all the works. I mean: 2 types of concealer, 3 different primers, i would wear tinted moisturizer topped with a foundation and powder, blush, bronzer, contour my face with face palettes, eyeshadows, liner, mascara, lip liner, lipstick etc... But over time it wreaked havoc on my skin and i had to pile more on until finally my boyfriend (who is amazingly gorgeous) pointed out that I was piling on too much and it was making my face look cakey. oops! Just step down gradually. i invested in ONE good quality concealer and a good quality foundation. I then stopped using primers so my makeup wouldn't go on as heavy, i gradually lightened the countouring until I finally just stopped doing it. With eye shadow I started gradually using lighter colors until i only used neutrals (now I don't wear any at all), I found a good neutral color lipstick to wear. Eventually I also stepped down to a lighter mousse version of my foundation and am now down to pressed powder. The funny thing is, no one really noticed that i was wearing less and less make-up. Not until I was down to what i wear now (concealer for under eyes, all over powder, peachy blush, eyeliner, and a coral toned nudeish lipstick). Now I actually get compliments on my face and skin. I actually think I receive more compliments now and it feels really good when people say "you have gorgeous skin" or "well you're lucky, you don't need a lot of makeup" So like me, you probably just THINK you need more than you actually do. As far as eyeliner, it's okay to have one make-up vice, that's mine too. I rarely leave the house without it Your boyfriend isn't with you because of your looks. Doesn't matter how hot he is. He loves you for you or else you guys wouldn't be in a serious relationship. He'll think you're just as beautiful without it. If you haven't heard, a lot of guys actually prefer less make up!

Firstly, having makeup on doesn't make you fake. It's a form of expression. No one came into this world wearing clothes. Yet every day we put on different styles of clothes to express ourselves. On the other hand if you think you have to have makeup on or else no one will like you...You just sound crazy. Have you ever heard "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." There are guys out there that like big girls, tattoo every where girls, short girls, no makeup girls, etc. My point is I'm sure people like you for other reasons too. If you have a bad attitude people wouldn't stick around, right? On to my next point. If your BF sees you without make and freaks or something. Then he's not worth it. Cause obviously he was into you for your looks, and honey looks fade. Then you should dump him rather then wait 20 years for him to leave you for a younger girl. If you're so self conscious try to go swimming with him. No make up. Wear something hot so his eyes will be somewhere else.

Every day put less and less makeup...Do it slowly...Soon people will get used to it. But if you don't want people to make a big deal out of this than you have to go slowly..If the guy is only there for your looks than he might not be worth it.. GOOD LUCK :) :)

maybe you just have to improve the quality of your skin and you wont feel that way you should try wearing facial mask several times a week and start cutting down on the makeup gradually these are some hoe made facial masks you should really try.. http://notecook.com/drinks/natural-home-made-facial-mask-1/ http://bizcovering.com/business/avocado-facial-mask-for-incredibly-smooth-skin/
