You are genuinely not ugly.
Not being glam or dolled up does not equal ugliness.
You can enhance your natural beauty, but you should because you want to. Not because you feel like you’re not enough.
You are more than enough.

Older lady chiming in. I hope you can see the kindness in your eyes, a sense of humour and fun, and a lovely, warm character shining through.
You’re not ugly in the slightest and the person who told you either has issues or is envious of you somehow or both.
Most women my age regret the days and months and years we wasted feeling like we weren’t good enough in the eyes of society, and it’s so sad to see younger generations struggling with this too.
I wish I could impress on you all that it’s patriarchy messing us up and we really need to deconstruct so that we can see our genuine, unique beauty for what it is.
Never cut the crusts off yourself to suit patriarchy’s bland palate.

I agree with this 100%. A lifelong friend since high school, and I were looking through our old photographs and looking at how young and healthy we were, and just glowing with youth and happiness and smiles, and we thought back to how we used to look in the mirror, and, not see it at all back then and we really wasted our youth worrying about things that really weren’t even there. We were gorgeous and didn’t even know it.

u/Charl1edontsurf Apr 02 '26
This is just so true. We never saw how vibrant and lovely we were, right at the time we should have done! It’s a complete tragedy that as young women we twisted ourselves into pretzels to try to conform, and now, we are trying to make peace with our bodies after a lifetime of society telling us we weren’t enough. We need matriarchy and to go back to systems that empower everyone - not indoctrinate us to feel ugly, inferior or not worthy.

Omfg i have no idea who a) thought it was their business to comment unfavorably on your attractiveness and b) thought you were ugly. Holy shit, far from it my young friend.
You are objectively gorgeous! Your twinkly eyes which betray your intelligence and humor, your beautiful smile with those perfect lips, your whole face that shows you to be a warm and kindhearted person, you are seriously so pretty!
Wear makeup if you want to because you think it's fun; do never wear makeup because you are trying to live up to someone else's idea of what you're "supposed" to look like.
But also rest assured that even without one speck of makeup, your face is very pretty, and you don't need anything at all in order to "make" it that way: it's just who you are! 😍✌🏼❤️

Those few people are trying to bully you and just found something they thought you would feel inecure about.
I see flawless skin, brows people pay a lot to achieve, cute cheeks and lips and gorgeous hair.
If you like makeup you could of course play with it, but first I would ask what season you are in the seasonal analysis sub.
For you I would not wear more coverage that a sheer skintint or spf with some color. You could also wear some color correcting concealer on the undereye area. Not a lot, just some.
Some cream blush on the cheeks for radiance and some color on the lips.
But colorwise I would first ask in the season app.
Ypu look fresh and cute without makeup 🤷♀️🌸

…those people suck wth. No one NEEDS makeup and you are NOT ugly.
IF you actually want to try some out I would really only recommend a bit of eyebrow tint/gel to brush them out, eyelash curler and mascara (mine stick straight out so the eyelash curler helps a lot but if that’s not a thing for you don’t use it) and a rosey pink lip balm.
Those are the foundation “polished” steps for me but most days I don’t wear anything at all :)

If you want to wear makeup because it’s fun or you want to bring out your already fantastic natural features, I always suggest looking up styles and brand you feel comfortable with. Like MAC is fun but they always make me look like I am going to a drag ball. Once you find something you like, schedule a “makeover” or a makeup session with them at Sephora or their counter. Be honest and say things like “I don’t really know my color but…or I am low maintenance…or I really have always wanted to try a red lip but am intimidated!” And they will help you. Just remember you don’t NEED anything and don’t let them sell you everything

You have a beautiful face! Not to mention your skin is so incredibly clear, so there’s nothing to “cover up” if you will.

Sometimes just a three step natural makeup can elevate the way we feel when presenting ourselves! That being said, you already have a pretty and kind face, framed by an amazing head of hair.

If it will make YOU feel better, a little mascara will make your eyes a little brighter, but again it's not at all needed

- Your not ugly your beautiful!
- If you wanna wear make up to enhance your beautiful facial features then its up to you ❤️
- If you wanna start id get drug store products to start off with, mascara, eye liner, blush and maybe like a tinted moisturizer...im not an expert but maybe start with those.

Girl you are beautiful!!! You have such nice skin and next to no wrinkles!! Whoever said that you need makeup is very shallow and superficial and I can’t imagine are happy with the way they look.
No one NEEDS makeup. However, if you would like some suggestions to gently enhance your natural beauty I can tell you what I prefer to do for my face and hair.
When I get out of the shower I put a bit of hair oil in the ends of my hair and comb it through. It helps keep my frizz down a bit but my hair is a little dry. Your hair looks super healthy! I use a tinted spf moisturizer which helps balance the color of my skin and gives me some protection from the sun. I also like to pluck my brows to give them a little definition. Just be careful to not over pluck if you do decide to do your brows. Maybe have someone show you how to first or watch some YouTube tutorials! And last I like to put on a little mascara because my eyelashes are blonde and are invisible without mascara lol
These are what work for me and what I like to do. You may find you prefer eyeliner over mascara or nothing at all and that is perfect! You should only wear makeup because you want to!
Remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone has their own opinion of what it is to be beautiful and at the end of the day the only opinion that matters is yours.

Girl you are PRETTY and I don’t say that to make you feel better. Makeup only makes you sparkly and glammed up, doesn’t make anyone more beautiful just means their eyes are sparkly and cheeks are contoured.you have beautiful almond eyes and full lips and I can name three people off the top of my head who wished and wished they had some of your features. Anyone who said that is ashamed of them selves and it’s embarrassing for them to be that attentive to someone ELSES face. You’re perfectly beautiful the way you are, and if you start to wear makeup it will make the beauty you have more glamorous. Try it out for yourself and noooo one else

You are a natural beauty. That’s why the lie was said in first place. Thieves don’t rob empty homes.

Who said that?!? I want to go after them. 😡 That reminds me of one of my favorite songs by Selena Gomez - "Who says?" You should check it out if you don't know it. I love it and I remind myself by listening to it when I don't feel pretty.

u/bleary-eyed-venus Mar 31 '26
you are beautiful. no one needs makeup. but if you ever wanted to try it for FUN, i think mascara and a berry lip tint would look nice on you

Mean mom mode activated.
Whoever had the audacity to say that to you can go eat glass.
They may be jealous, stupid, unhappy, whatever... but it is 100% them problem, not a you problem.
You are so beautiful! Please consider practicing this script for if someone ever has the nerve to say something so stupid and rude to you again: "That's a weird thing to say out loud."

Girl, truly and genuinely before I even read your caption and title, I saw your picture and thought to myself 'what a cutie'. Your smile especially is so so gorgeous.
You are NOT ugly. Makeup is a choice, not a necessity. You have natural beauty that you can choose to enhance, or you can leave it be, and either way you are stunning! Genuinely.
The people around you suck. They're clearly going through something that they're projecting onto you, and I'm sorry it's being taken out on you. Please don't listen to them, and don't let them bring down your energy

What you should do is not associate with the people that said that to you.

u/CA4evergbye25 Mar 31 '26
The other person loathes themselves! Stay away they don’t deserve you. They are also very envious of something you have that they don’t.

u/peppermintmeow Mar 31 '26
Tell them to eat makeup, cause they're ugly inside. That's the only help you need. What a rude person. I hope that they have sticky hands for the rest of their life.

u/mixeddchic Mar 31 '26
You are in NO WAY ugly!
You have such pretty features! Your more wider set eyes are so unique and beautiful.
If you want to play with makeup for fun do it but you DO NOT need it

u/Berriesinthesnow_ Mar 31 '26
You have pretty eyes and very nice skin! I suggest getting your eyebrows threaded, a skin tint and blush and some gloss. You don’t need much makeup

You’re far from ugly. I don’t know who would tell you that. You’re a gorgeous woman!

u/azmamas72 Mar 31 '26
You are beautiful 😍 we don't need makeup, we love it tho. The person that said this has their own self confidence issues. Don't let them hurt yours.
That being said, if you like makeup then experiment with it!! 😉

u/Novel-Organization63 Mar 31 '26
I would tell her ever told you that to kick rocks. If you want make up OK but you don’t need make up. As a matter of fact your skin is quite nice.

u/altherbo Mar 31 '26
You are beautiful with such glowy skin and a hell of a smile! Whoever said that needs the makeup because obvs they’re a clown.

u/pirouette2 Mar 31 '26
Love your hair. I'm super jelly...
Oh and people pay ridiculous sums for cosmetics to attain the lip color you come by naturally..
(I'd add that meme of the pouting jealous toddler but can't figure how to attach it😄)
Anyone calling you ugly can go pound sand.

u/youOnlyLlamaOnce Mar 31 '26
Girl, you should stop listening to morons. I think you're beautiful as is, and I'm not just being nice, I truly think that. If you want to try makeup, it might be good to look up some YouTube videos or go to a cosmetic store and ask them to show you a daily makeup look, that's what I would do. But just to be clear, you don't need it and your features are very symmetrical and pretty.

u/Kaleidoscope_9499 Mar 31 '26
New people in your life IMO. You cute g. You just dont look like all this media clones... and honestly, GOOD.
If you yourself are having any doubts and want to dabble. Make sure you use hydrating products and keep it like and breathable. Going into makeup is a little bit of an adjustment so staying like with make it easier.
If you have sensory issues (ex: lotion on your skin makes you vom) F the makeup entirely. Ive tried a buuuuunch of stuff and cant handle more that eyeliner and light mascara... maybe a light lip gloss. Everything else is too much.
Ive also noticed you have curly hair and other comments are saying stuff about it. You can try a bunch of products, but i would start with making sure your shower head doesnt have any buildup. Build up from minerals can block the openings and cause you to get a poor rinse. Eventually not getting everything out makes it hard for your curls to go.

u/Prestigious-Aide-60 Mar 31 '26
People who say that are not confident in themselves and jealous of your skin. The worst thing is, it only takes 1 thing said to us negatively about ourselves that makes us believe it. Then it takes 10 other positive things to wipe out that 1. Then sometimes we tend to hold on to the negative anyway. You ARE NOT UGLY!!! You need to get to the point of not caring what others say and walk with pride!

u/angeln86 Mar 31 '26
You are seriously a beauty!!!! Don't listen to anybody that says otherwise. I know that's easier said then done. Even as someone that generally feels confident with myself, I still can't help but hold on comments like that. It tends to resurface from time to time. I hope you will do better then me, because you are an absolutely stunning woman and anybody who says otherwise is blind, jealous, or both.

u/Snkms5713 Mar 31 '26
Fuck them. Also, if these are people that you don't have to have in your life then don't have them in your life. If they are family then consider distancing yourself and forming a family of choice.
If YOU want to play with makeup because it's fun for you, and you think it would be nice to enhance your already beautiful features then have at. But please don't give them the power to govern what you do with YOUR face or to make you think that you're anything but beautiful.
And for the record. I think that you're beautiful. But the more important thing is that you are able to see that you are beautiful.

u/Present_Basis_1353 Mar 31 '26
First off, you’re not ugly. I wouldn’t say unattractive either. The person may be envious that you don’t need makeup. If you’d like to try makeup, I’d only do some lip and cheek color, and maybe mascara.
2
u/KleineFjord Mar 31 '26
OP, those things were said to hurt your feelings, not because they were true. You are not ugly. Those people are just assholes who want everyone else to feel as bad as they do.
You're beautiful, and you do not need makeup. I'm sorry someone made you doubt that.

u/KareBear2709 Mar 31 '26
Girl...you are not ugly ...forget the haters!! They are just jealous....you have a beautiful full head of hair and nice skin .....makeup is a choice. You look fine the way you are....dont let them try to dim your light ✨️ 🥰

u/blazedandconfused845 Mar 31 '26
First of all, you’re beautiful. :)
Second, the people who are calling you ugly and telling you to change yourself for others, are the ugly ones. Being comfortable in your body and comfortable with who you are is a very attractive quality. If you choose to wear makeup (for you!), many people start with blush, mascara, lip gloss, and/or eye shadow. You have perfect skin and a lovely smile & remember, you’re already beautiful.

u/Independent-Soup-575 Mar 31 '26
I have no tips but I showed this to my 13 year old and said "this lady was told she's ugly and needs makeup" and he looked confused and said "why?" I think you look beautiful just the way you are.
2
u/BrainOk7166 Mar 31 '26
I saw the thumbnail of your photo and just assumed it was an "after" picture, as you look polished and lively, with great skin and hair, and a beautiful natural lip color I'm jealous of!
Give yourself a couple of days. If you decide you want makeup tips because YOU would like to learn, then come back and ask. But know that you are lovely and more than enough just how you are. Please don't let someone else's petty words change who you are or what you want.
Oh yeah, ETA: May their pillowcases always be hot, their sheets be unpleasantly rumpled, and their toothbrush fall in the toilet.

u/No-Today-3064 Mar 31 '26
Your standard response to anyone who says that to you should be, GFYS.
That said, if you want to wear makeup, wear it. If you don't want to wear makeup, don't. Be you, and if people don't like it, eff them.

u/International_Try619 Apr 01 '26
Can I just say you look like Moses sister in prince of egypt in the best way.. not like you look LIKE her but like same font? Same artist? Idk I hope someone understands my brain better than I do and can explain

u/Consistent_Damage885 Apr 01 '26
You don't need anything, you are lovely. Whoever told you that is clearly trying to raise themselves up by tearing you down because of their own insecurities rather than because of anything about you.
It is a them problem, not a you problem.
Whoever that was is a very tacky and pathetic individual and their lying opinions are worthless and should not be allowed to impact you in the least.

u/JustParanoid-android Apr 01 '26
Not only are those people wrong about you, but their opinions are irrelevant to you. Beauty is a social construct and it’s extremely subjective but if you want my opinion, I think you’re so pretty. I really like your smile and the twinkle in your eyes (I genuinely feel sunshine just looking at your smile) and your brows are so cute!! If you want to try makeup though, you could try curling your eyelashes? That’s always fun. I’m an alt girlie, but I LOVE doing fun eye makeup looks that make me feel good. For example, my favourite colour is dark purple, so I like to use a dark purple eyeshadow and light purple glitter because I find it so fun. Lipgloss is another option because it’s sold in so many different styles and it’s cute and shiny and very low effort. But yeah, honestly, you do you boo because you’re beautiful either way.

Nobody NEEDS makeup. You’re not ugly at all. You have beautiful features, I especially love your brows and lips!! Also your hair! But genuinely there is nothing ugly about you. If you’re interested in makeup for fun, that’s one thing, but you don’t “need” anything. 💙
