I always look at myself and see how not pretty I am. I hate it. Then I look around at all my friends..why do they get to be automatically pretty? No makeup for some--but still not ugly. I have kind of chubby cheeks but not huge. I have dark blonde, almost brown-ish straight hair a little past my shoulders. I'm sort of tan, but not much. My eyes are hazel, mostly green. If I go out or to school, I wear eyeliner and that's it. I also have a little bit of a belly. I really think I'm not pretty. I've never had a boyfriend, and maybe that's why? Any ideas for makeup that's not too drastic, that will make my face look better? If you have ANYTHING..please tell me.

Did you know that the more makeup the more and the earlier wrinkles will come so unless you want to get wrinkles and look worse then you think you do now don't bother with it. Take it from me I know. Here's a discription of me 13. Freckles all over the face, blue eyes, pot belly, (can't hide it under clothes) and glasses. You know what? Not only am I happy the way I am I have had a boyfriend and I didn't have to change myself at all. All it takes is the right guy to come along all you have to do is wait. Please send feedback.

Crysta-Ann answered Wednesday January 5 2005, 7:58 pm: Wow. It's almost scary how much we look alike. I too am a dark blonde haired girl, with hazel green eyes, and slightly tanned skin. I too wear only eye-liner and the occasional eye make-up. Scary. I too have never had a boyfreind. I too have a tiny bit of a belly. But that doesn't mean I'm not beautiful! I bet you're very pretty and you just don't know it! Ask people, people who will be honest. You probably just have low self esteem! Nothing that can't be fixed! Here's a way to help bring it up, wright in a journal everyday about your good points. Like, if you feel like your hair is particularly cute, wright it down! Wright down when you think that someone cute might have been looking at you. It'll work for sure! I promise! Ask your freinds if they think that you're pretty, or if they have any tips! Good Luck! And I'm sure you're beautiful!! [ Crysta-Ann's advice column | Ask Crysta-Ann A Question ]
Lady_M answered Monday January 3 2005, 7:27 pm: I have never had a "real" boyfriend before either, but that doesn't mean I am ugly. You need to focus on the important things, what is inside. I know I sound INSANELY corny, but your personality will shine through your outer skin, and people will LOVE you no matter what you look like. All my guy freinds say they dont like make up on girls, and that they'd rather have a girlfriend who doesn;t really care bout her looks, she just has to feel good about herself....and thats totally true! But if none of that helped, some makeup tips would be to lightly dab some rosey blush under the apples (roud aprts of your cheeks)of your cheeks and that'll brighten up your face
StrawberryHEARTsyou answered Monday January 3 2005, 5:47 pm: Ok make~up isnt going to always help how self~consicious you are. But if you think its going to help then pick your favorite feature on your face.,. like mine is my eyes so i use eye liner masacra and sometimes a light eye shadow so then it will take away from the rest of my face.,. but maybe your lips are really pretty use lip~liner and a light lipstick with a gloss just to make it pop a lil! For your chubby cheeks you cant really get rid of them so just make them pretty maybe try some blush but not so much that it is the only thing that pops. If you are trying to impress the boys i a garenttee you make~up probaly wont help [they are more intersted in your body] so once you worked on your make~up gets some cute clothes {not skanky} but that makes your body look good. But most of all work on your personallity no guy wants to go out with a self~consios girl. I am sure they'd rather go out with a cute fun loving girl thena skanky brat that wants to go anorexic!

xjustaskmex answered Sunday January 2 2005, 1:47 pm: reading your explanation of how you look i could have swore you were describing me! i know your description was breif, but thats how i look. i mean everyone can always find whats wrong with themselves. what u need to do is point out the positive things. im sure your beautiful. me, well i mostly hide behind my makeup. coverup actually works well though. maybe u should get some, it really just helps your complexion or w/e =). just dont put yourself down so mucch <3
x0xTinax0x answered Sunday January 2 2005, 1:39 pm: Oh hun, from what you describe yourself as, you're pretty. You should have more confidence in yourself. I always thought I was ugly too, and sometimes I still do think it, but I realized it's how I feel. If you feel this low, maybe people feed off that, and it makes them feel that way too. I bet there are lots of guys who like you, but are just shy. Just be yourself, and if you find someone you like, go to them. Don't wait for them to crawl around to you. For make-up suggestions, I would wear mascara, some eyeliner, and maybe some lip gloss. It's simple, and nothing too drastic, like you asked. You don't really need make-up. You're beautiful. You just need to trust yourself. I hope I helped some.
laffintaffy359 answered Sunday January 2 2005, 1:21 pm: Hey, It sounds like you're really not ugly, maybe you just think you are? Everybody's gonna look different, and everyone has different perspectives on who is or isn't pretty. You don't have to wear makeup if you want to look prettier but if you really want to then, natural colors go well on anyone, & i heard that if you have green eyes, like a lavender color eyeshadow can bring out the green color. And you could try brown mascara bc that's not too drastic and it would probably go with the color of your hair. You could always go to one of thoses makeup stands in the mall and the makeup artist there can tell you what colors etc. would be good for you. Good luck with that & just have some more self confidence, no ones perfect:)

Shortie8959 answered Sunday January 2 2005, 1:15 pm: Aw, hun, don't feel that way. YOU'RE NOT UGLY!!! I know everyone says that, but God created you, and he doesn't create ugly things, lol! Except for bugs, haha. But if it'll make you feel better, try black mascara, different colors of eyeshadow that you like, a nice shade of lip gloss or lipstick, and cover-up. For your stomach, try crunches, situps, and pushups. Do about 20-30 of them at night and you'll see results in about 2-3 weeks. As for the bf thing, guys these days are really immature and don't know how to see someone from the inside. But don't worry, you'll find that someone! Good luck!
P.S. Boyfriends suck anyway. I'm single and proud!
Hope I helped!

NEVERLETG00 answered Sunday January 2 2005, 1:14 pm: just because your friends are pretty and you haven't had a boyfriend yet doesn't mean that your ugly! i dont care what people say about me, i haven't worn make up for pertty much a year now, every now and then when i have to dress up, but other than that i dont care what other people say, i know i'm not hott stuff but i dont think i'm ugly either, i'm not consided or anything, u just have to have some slef confidence of yourself, you sound like a really nice girl and pretty too, i dont think makeup really helps, its all fake i think, but eyeliner i think is pretty tho. but just have a lil self confidence of yourself and you shouldn't compare yourself to your friends. x0 Renee [ NEVERLETG00's advice column | Ask NEVERLETG00 A Question ]
Helper1994 answered Sunday January 2 2005, 12:54 pm: Hi!
You know what? You sound just like me. But I figured out that it's not what is on the OUTSIDE, it's what is on the INSIDE that counts. But if you want to wear makeup, GO AHEAD. But if you do make it look like you don't have ANY on. GOOD LUCK! [ Helper1994's advice column | Ask Helper1994 A Question ]
LoLo2454 answered Sunday January 2 2005, 12:53 pm: A lot of people feel the same way you do. Including myself. And you probably are pretty. No one is ever happy with themselves. Its just the way people are. But if you want to be more happy with yourself, then try to loose the stomach and just wear a little bit more makeup. I only wear eye makeup. I use eyeliner, mascara, and a natural color of eye shadow (its a shimmer brown. any type of brown usually works).As far as loosing the stomach goes, just do crunches. Crunches actually work really well. And there are many different "types" of crunches to work different parts of the stomach. I hope I helped. And dont stress to much. Its probably all in your head.
Erinn_the_bamf answered Sunday January 2 2005, 12:53 pm: First off you are not ugly and I wish I looked like you. Some boys care about the *perfect* looking girl which doesn't exist so they're full of crap if that's why they say no to you. Try some pale green eyeshadow to bring out your eyes. A light lip gloss and some mascarra (however you spell it) would work to. I hope I hepled! [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]
sohojules26 answered Sunday January 2 2005, 12:50 pm: Firstoff, starting at the cheeks. You may wanna try some soft blush, to add more emphasis on your cheekbones instead of your cheeks. I always wanted hazel eyes, but I got stuck with brown, so your lucky. For your belly, try aerobic exercsises, and crunches. try some lip gloss too,and maybe a smidge of eyeshdow.=)Please rate me=) [ sohojules26's advice column | Ask sohojules26 A Question ]
monkeygirl answered Sunday January 2 2005, 12:49 pm: I'm sure this is not what your gonna wanna here... but makeup i think is your biggest pretend.. You don't need makeup to be pretty.. if your worried about your stomach.. your the only one that can do something about it... now your face you sound pretty to me... since you compplextion is tan you dont really need foundation.. you could use black eyeliner just don't put to much on.. and maybe a little brown eyeshadow (different colors brown), get some lipgloss and that ought a top it off. Try different hairstyles with your hair. Hope I helped hun and remember.. your NOT ugly [ monkeygirl's advice column | Ask monkeygirl A Question ]
