My mom rarely wore makeup. So that's why makeup free mentality. No pressure. No one told me to.I dress well when I go out.

[@dimplesd8931]

My mom wore makeup about 4x a yr. I wore lots of makeup during my teens/20’s because I wanted to fit in but now I wear makeup about 2-4x a month. At 50 I wear clothes I love, lip gloss, have clean skin with lots of moisturizer and a smile. Done

[@Tomorrowbitethedust]

My mom use makeup only when she was young. And now she never use makeup I want to see her with make-up on but she rejects this 🥺

[@baylorsailor]

Same with my mom. I used to wear it everyday but got away from that about 8 years ago. I definitely wear it when going out or for events.

[@Thufferinthuckotash]

Same here. People underestimate the affect mothers have on their daughters when it comes to performative femininity and body image

[@diosadeamore]

[@NinjaTofu0]

For me, wearing a lot of makeup also started giving me a "distorted" view of my bare face. I always saw myself as ugly. I couldn't even go out grocery shopping without mascara and foundation. But then a few years ago I drastically reduced the amount of makeup I was wearing and completely stopped wearing mascara. And now every once in a while I look at my bare face and think "hey kinda look good today". I often go out without any makeup and I don't feel ugly. And I know my face hasn't changed. Just the way I see myself.

[@glassawata]

I think all makeup girls have felt this. It's important to acknowledge this phenomenon

[@thebonniewong]

Yes!!! I also want to reduce the shock value when someone sees me without make up lol. Like if you started dating someone and they will see you bare face, I don't want them to be like WHOA.

[@mistypedhi]

Right. I never wear makeup. I used to a little when I was a teenager which was over a decade ago and I just feel prettier without it.

[@tdelioncourt1268]

Yes !!! Getting used to the makeup face makes the bareface look wrong. I had the same effect with bras too, always seeing them round and high made it look "wrong" when I took my bra off to sleep. Now that I go no bra, I cannot stand the bra look as it's so fake looking.

[@Brajesvari_108]

As someone who doesn't wear makeup, a few things I do to look fresh and put together are: moisturize my face, put on lip balm, brush my brows, as well as place a bit of jojoba oil on a eyelash brush and lightly oil my eyelashes. And yes earrings make a world of a difference!

[@IKsmille]

I'm from Europe, your tips how to look good without wearing a make-up is my definition of wearing make-up :D And you look beautiful and relatable "without make-up"

[@tdelioncourt1268]

yes it's basically my rountine ^^

[@roxyspence]

Same. I appreciate the tips but using skin care and lip oil with colour is literally makeup. When makeup started it was called skin care in the same way, because people didn't want to think of it as wearing make up. My tips are tinting and plucking my brows, dermaplating, good skin care + moisturising, exfoliating my lips, and possibly clear mascara or oil and curling the lashes.

It’s amazing how everyone has different things that they are concerned about with their looks, like for me it’s my blonde eyelashes, hooded eyes and eye bags. But from one of your previous videos you highlighted the fact that our differences are what make us unique. Also one of my mums friends commented how similar I look to my mum which I love and she has characteristics from her parents which makes me feel connected to my Italian heritage which is amazing! My mum never wore much makeup and neither do I. When I was growing up she told me everyday that I was beautiful and most days I still believe it, thanks for the positive message Stephanie!

Having clean hair makes such a big difference. My hair gets greasy after like 12 hours which is so frustrating though. Dry shampoo is a blessing. There are days where I feel pretty without makeup and days where I feel ugly without makeup, but some days I’m just too lazy to put it on. If I go out and someone doesn’t like my face that a them problem. I don’t owe anyone beauty. But I am thankful that my bf always finds me pretty even when I feel hideous.

[@Rowena-kt4lu]

I think no makeup is really elegant looking. Like the old paintings of beautiful women. They had barely any makeup on (compared to today’s looks), and look so beautiful and elegant.

[@user-cd6xp5lk4c]

Ya like many European/ Parisian woman.. they have a more natural look .. for the most part they don't cake it on like the north Americans giving it almost a drag Queenie look

[@toilaCarissa]

How do we know people in old paintings wore little makeup? Just curious. Plus, the painter can avoid painting wrinkles and blemishes. I don't trust old paintings, they're pretty, but after seeing pin-up models and the final pin-up result, nah.

[@cb9825]

When you pay the artist, you can ask to embellish you portrait a bit 😊 not to the point of being unrecognizable, just no spots and wrinkles, maybe slightly bigger eyes etc. That's why on old paintings there are no pox spots, acne scarring and other "imperfections"

[@charlotte89726]

I used to be exactly like you in high school, wouldn't leave the house without make up bc I felt SO ugly. At some point I realized that all this manufactured standards were created to exploit us really, and started my journey of working in myself esteem and gradually I got so much better. Now I rarely use make up because I truly feel prettier without it most of the time, like I haven't bought a foundation or concealer in YEARS! My skin feels sooooo much better without all that make up, and my mind 100% more free! In the past I spent tons of time getting ready(make up, hair, outfit) just to go to school, and now I spend that time taking care of myself by eating healthy, drinking lots of water and having me time(skin care routine or things like that)!

I am really happy that I am a lazy individual because it is this that has prevented me from doing any makeup even when I am 23 years old now and i have multiple acne scars over my face. I don't care, I follow good skin care routine, stay hydrated, mostly eat healthy and workout. That's all I need for a good skin and face even if there are flaws I won't put weird dangerous chemicals on my face or draw a face eyebrow or out on fake eyelashes and look a total caricature of mine. I have nothing against those who wear makeup but honestly, no one, literally no one needs it.

[@AoKajii]

For me, the most efficient is to stop wearing make-up. Since I stopped, I just got used to seeing my face. My lashes were also looking better, and I started taking care of my skin. I plan on getting hair laser removal above the mouth and between my brows. Just aiming to have almost nothing to do in the morning to avoid overthinking about the way I look. Of course, I would look "better" with make-up, but I don't want any of that anymore. I don't want to take off my makeup just to feel uglier. I'm used to my bare face now, I have my days and feel like the ugliest shit on earth. But most often than not, I just feel normal

[@sandysandor6052]

Genuine question, how is wearing tinted skincare different than wearing makeup in the ways of confidence and what it looks like? I seriously don't get the difference, except if this is skin care maybe it moisturites the skin too...

[@aliciamclean7482]

It doesn't cover skin texture, pimples, etc. Instead it just gives a light tint to the skin which basically just evens out your skin tone/redness. It's also helps moisturizes the skin, and looks more natural than an actual foundation. This is just my own experience, but I switched to a skin tint a few years ago and I've never gone back to foundation, even when I do a full makeup look because I think my skin looks healthier wearing a skin tint versus a foundation, and because it's so similar to my actual skin it makes me feel more confident about my skin when I do go out bare faced :)

[@plumdutchess]

Because you're not plastering on a thick layer of feature erasing products. Just a light wash to even out the skintone and make you look more awake.

[@sandysandor6052]

Thank you!

[@amyevans3825]

I hope that one day we will all be able to recognise our worth as something separate from our physical appearance and that we are able to feel good about ourselves every day, just for existing. Breaks my heart that we live in a society that perpetuates the idea that humans have to wear make up to be considered beautiful or put together and that we all have to fit into a ‘cookie cutter’ of what beauty currently is. Take the eyebrows for example - thin was on trend for women in the 90s. Feathery and thick is on trend now. So everyone conforms to the beauty standard and misses the opportunity to celebrate their inherit beauty as a human being. We celebrate diversity but it seems that everyone wants to have the same big lips, chiselled features, etc. And when the desirable mould changes we have to change our faces to match or risk being perceived as ugly. When in reality, what is ugly is the way society views ‘beauty’.

During college I used to wear makeup every day to class. Then covid hit and I completely stopped wearing makeup for several months. It was during that time that I fell in love with my natural face. I got used to seeing myself barefaced and liked it! So once things returned to normal, I continued with not wearing makeup everyday. It's been a few years now, but I still only do a full face on weekends when there is an occasion for it, but most recently, I went two weeks without makeup. It's such a joy to feel comfortable walking around bare-faced, and I hope everyone can feel confident and empowered enough for forgo their makeup every once in a while.

Great video! I've learned a lot over the years. I was one that thought I couldn't be seen without make-up for most of my adult years. I was never great at putting it on. But, now that I am 58, I have learned how to look better with less, like you are basically saying. Skin care is important. But, If I just want to look a bit presentable, I use skin care for a dewey look. Then I put some clearisil on my more porus areas, like nose and chin. Then, I use a small brush and use a concealer to dab onto areas that are dark. Like under my eyes. Then I use an eyebrow pencil and color in my brows. Then, if i'm going out somewhere, I will put on a lipstick that is fairly subtle. I also have the dry lip issue..have always had it, so, I at least put on chapstick. I have them all over the house.

And now I found some light makeup that is just enough to make me feel good and not weighed down by too much stuff on my face. I use a powdered foundation from Laura Geller and it is wonderful. With a touch of concealer, the powdered foundation and some light blush and mascara, I feel and look put together but totally myself. It takes 5 minutes and I'm off to work. I appreciate your videos. I appreciate your transparency and openness.

stephanie you are fr beautiful inside & out 🥹

so true about the rosacea, with or without the make up my cheeks end up staying red pretty much the whole time. I just wear mask the whole time when I am outside

Stephanie I just have to say that you look amazing with all different hair colors which is rare

[@Mudi2783]

I think you look more beautiful with less make up than you usually wear. You look STUNNING in this video! 😍

I am with you on the eyebrows! I overplucked mine way back when I was in my 20s ans have barely any now. My mom did the same thing and told me the same warning! I have thought how great your eyebrows are in your videos so I am pleasantly surprised you have the same issue. I need to get some eyebrow tint! I have thought about tattoos but get scared they will turn out terribly. Also, whenever I have decided not to wear makeup to work or wear very little, I almost always get told (by men, funnily enough) how tired I look. So maddening! It's not fair they get to go without makeup without a care. I also had severe acne as a teenager and back in the 80s the treatment was so harsh for acne. I made my skin even worse. Acne will give anyone severe insecurities especially whn teased and ridiculed for it at school.

My sister has naturally thick but very blonde eyebrows and she uses tint on her brows

THIS. I’ve seriously been doing all these things recently, and they actually make a huge difference. I wash my hair more than what is probably recommended, but I don’t care because my hair actually likes it; it’s smoother and fuller and it makes me feel great. Been updating my wardrobe a bit, and I also don’t feel human until I have my earrings in! My daily makeup has been some powder foundation, clear brow gel, and a tinted lip balm, along with curling my eyelashes (sometimes I’ll throw on concealer or a tinted SPF if I want a little extra). I actually feel prettier this way than with all the extra stuff I used to do. Especially as I get older, I feel more feminine and like myself. I think it’s all just a part of growing up. 😊 Do NOT knock on these tips until you try them; they might sound stupid or simple, but they’re the real deal. ❤

I think you are absolutely beautiful without makeup!

I have rosacea and it’s terrible!! Thank you for the tips! Unfortunately my nose deals with the brunt of it and it stands out so much.

[@huevitoestrelladoo]

Love your natural makeup in this video❤️

[@jennifermiller1042]

This is a great no makeup makeup look. You look lovely, as always!

[@stephanielange]

Thank you so much!! Xx

[@demonicastar]

I agree with all these tips. After leaving the beauty industry I started easing up un the makeup and now I don't feel bad leaving the house without it. If I have to leave the house for a quick errand I shower, fix my curls, put on a light tinted gloss and maybe a necklace or earrings and I feel amazing 😊

[@kaylaluther2805]

You look so beautiful and organic here my girl

[@joybodelay9679]

I feel ya sweety, I was also on the Roaccutane back in the day.

[@shon4308]

Please yes!! We need a very good brow tint that last well and tint the skin

[@stephanielange]

Exactly!!! I’m working on it!

[@lolagonzalez3682]

Really appreciate this! I don’t really wear makeup on a daily basis, except I love wearing a lip gloss or lipstick. Occasionally I’ll wear mascara, but I usually end up regretting it cuz I’ll want to rub my eyes lol. But recently I’ve been breaking out a a lot. I’ve been getting treated for my acne and rosacea, but I’m stress and I was doing better but they came back with a vengeance!! I was debating buying a tinted moisturizer and wearing concealer(I bought one for emergencies, but I never use it). I dreaded having to wear face makeup because I hate the feeling. I, like Pamela Anderson, hate the pressure! Like why do I have to wear makeup??? That’s so ridiculous! Anyways, thank you for making me feel validated! As a girly who doesn’t wear makeup, but always get told I seem put together, let me share some tips! I agree with everything Steph said but also consider: 1. Buying cute hair accessories- I can’t bother with doing my hair because I have an oily scalp and by the next day I have to shower again. BUT having cute hair accessories always helps with feeling put together! I feel like a Princess :) 2. Nails Done- don’t feel pressured to do this. I’m broke so I just paint my nails at home. But sometimes having a little color or sparkle on my nails help me feel better. I’m a big ring lover and I find having my nails done makes them pop more. 3. Nice perfume- never underestimate the power of a good perfume! I feel like I’m allowed to take up more space when I smell nice. 4. Little Details and Clothing accessories- a watch, a belt, cute shoes, and a well put together outfit really help! I’m really simple but I find the little extra details and accessories can help you feel glamorous, elegant, and confident, which is very helpful when not wearing makeup!! Love you all! Please know that you never look as horrible as you think you do. Personally, I love seeing people’s natural real skin:)) Happy Mother’s Day!

Watching the video it seems to me the problem lies more in caring a lot about what other peoples opinions of you might be, and so instead of hiding blemishes to increase confidence and cutting down on the daily make-up dependency to feel more comfortable all is solved when you stop caring so much about what other people think of you. You fill find you can achieve the same freedoms and levels of confidence that way without having to change your appearance or habits otherwise.
