how make-up makes me feel even more self-conscious than I already am?

Yes.

Makeup boosts my self-esteem a bit. I only wear eyeshadow/eyeliner/mascara most of the time, but it makes me feel a little better.

I can never find a foundation that makes me look right

If it makes u that bad then dont wear it. Most guys i know find the natural look more attractive anyway. The only make up i ever wear is eyeliner- i've given up on foundation coz i cant find 1 that suits my skin colour.

Why does makeup make you feel worse? Its supposed to make you feel prettier. It makes me feel alot better, but if it doesnt for you then dont wear it. Im sure you look just fine with out it, and most guys like the natural look.

I feel the same with or without it on.

I feel better with. Whether Im wearing the natural look or all done up when im going out, I definately love my make up =)

Sometimes i get worried about smudging my make up, but other than that, i like to wear make up.

I think it makes me feel more self conscious because I feel as though I'm saying "hey, look at me"....like it is a way to draw attention to myself.....it just makes me insecure when people look at me, really look at me.
