What do you think about people wearing make-up?

I don't see any issue with individuals, regardless of gender, wearing makeup. If it brings them joy and they have the means to afford it, why not? It's simply a personal choice, no different from purchasing any other item.

How much more beautiful do you / do people look with cosmetics?

It can certainly boost up your features, add a pop of colour, and give you that polished look.
Some people find themselves extra confident and empowered with makeup on, while others prefer to keep it natural. But ultimately, it's about how you feel and what you want, not about conforming to others' expectations.

Why is most lipstick red or pink? What’s wrong with black or green?

Red has been a classic lipstick colour for a long time, associated with glamour and confidence.
Pink offers a softer, more subtle alternative that still aligns with traditional femininity.

As for colours like black or green, there's nothing wrong with them.

Do you think people look better without make-up?

Opinions on whether someone looks better with or without makeup differ from one person to another.
It's a matter of personal preference, and what suits one individual might not suit another.

Don’t you think cosmetics are a waste of money?

It depends on individual perspectives and priorities.

Do people use cosmetics because they lack confidence? Or rather, it boosts their confidence?

Some people use cosmetics to feel more confident, while others use them to express themselves.

Do you know anyone who uses too much make-up?

Yes and No.
As long as someone feels comfortable and their makeup suits the occasion, the amount they use shouldn't be a concern. , the amount they use is not something that should bother anyone.

Due to autism related sensory issues, I don't wear makeup. But I have no problem with those who do.

 

[Crys]

What do you think about people wearing make-up? Cool.

How much more beautiful do you / do people look with cosmetics? I Don't know.

Why is most lipstick red or pink? What’s wrong with black or green? Who knows?

Do you think people look better without make-up? Not sure.

Don’t you think cosmetics are a waste of money?
No. If you want to wear it and feel good about yourself, go for it.

Do people use cosmetics because they lack confidence? Or rather, it boosts their confidence? I can't answer for everyone, only myself. I like it because it makes me feel good.

Do you know anyone who uses too much make-up? The person in the gif.

I'd rather the women in my life didn't poison themselves in the name of vanity.

Since lipstick was mentioned, let's take a look at one product from one big name company.
