Is it okay to not wear make-up? Opinions?

[Kitty]

Okay,I know that this is a sort of weird question. But lots of girls in my grade have been making me feel really horrible about it lately.

I'm in grade 11, and my school is a very, VERY judge mental school. So, a girl was talking about how she was late for school because she was putting her make-up on and her brother kept bugging her. I asked "Why don't you just stop wearing make-up" she looked at me and said that that's weird. Then I told her I never wear it. She said well, that's good for you. But some people actually want to look nice. I mentioned that to my other friend and she told me that not wearing make-up is strange. I asked some of my friends that are guys and they told me that they never really noticed that I didn't wear make-up but that it was really weird, and that maybe I should start.

There was this other time where girls were picking themselves apart, they asked if I didn't really like anything about my body, and I said "Well my nose, it's kind of big" Then they told me "Yeah, you know there are ways to couture that, but you wouldn't know because you don't wear make-up." I'm fully aware of how to put make-up on, I do on special occasions, just I don't everyday.

I just really don't understand why they keep bullying me about this, everyone does. They make me feel really ugly about myself. But, I know that I'm an okay looking person.

That's a picture of me without make-up.

What's your opinions, girls and guys? I'm just curious as to hear it.

You look good? Some girl's make there face look like a cake, but I don't know why they even need makeup.

You're honestly very pretty. Honestly I believe it's a personal choice to wear makeup and we all have reason to and not to. Like If I wear makeup its simply cause I feel like it and it makes me feel good in a sense. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with not wearing makeup.
I blame media and society for making some girls believe they are not good enough to be themselves naturally. Those girls clearly were affected by social ideals. I'd just ignore them if I were you, like you look great the way you are so as long as you know that your fine.

You look super cute without makeup. You have lovely features and a nice natural flush in your cheeks and lips. It is the norm to wear makeup, but you look great without it! People will stop caring as much about what you do or don't do once you're out of high school.

Next time someone says something to you like that, tell them "I'm not a girl who needs makeup".
You're gorgeous and unlike the majority of the teenage female population, you look amazing without makeup.
You have clear skin and nice eyes and don't need it!
Just ignore them, or just say something like "I don't have anything to cover up".
It's not weird at all-you should see how ugly these girls probably look without makeup!

Some people might find it weird because nowadays, most girls look really ugly without it and can't be seen in public without putting it on, or care so much about what others think that how hard they try is insane. Everyone is so fake nowadays that girls not wearing makeup is unusual.
And these girls are probably jealous of you, because they know that you don't need makeup. They, on the other hand, can't be seen in public without it.

Guys don't really notice these things, but tbh, they'd rather see girls not wearing makeup and being naturally beautiful rather than being cakefaced with it (gross).

Wow your high school sounds sucky! You do whatever you want. I've never heard of anyone being bullied for not wearing makeup before. Crazy.

of course it's okay - unless you live in a dictatorship
