What is Makeup for you? – Necessary, Hobby, or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?

Public Awareness message: Cosmetics are bad for the skin. 

As long as you're not doing something creepy and non-human like how Valeriya Lukyanova (unfortunately, it is a real human being) does it, its all good. Sometimes a lot of people use a lot of makeup and colour that it ends up making you look older.

Hey Diva,makeup for me depends where and with whom I am gonna be. In other words it depends on the situation.Like on working days, I prefer being presentable. Attending traditional functions means being decked up and casual days either have low/minimalistic/no makeup or college days kinda flashy makeup (friends outing types). For me Makeup is just another daily task, it depends whether it shd be done or not.

Hey. .I agree with you. .its purely situational. But I like your point that its a daily task... to do or not to do is mood dependant I guess:)

Obsession, temptation and indulgence!!!!

I like that answer:)

Sorry guys but this post was to have meaningful discussion & not talk abt everything else. 

As we are talking about fair and handsome, watch this serial : Andam. Andam in telugu means Beauty. 

It's in Telugu. If you don't know Telugu, atleast listen to the title song - it's beautiful. 

 'anda' means egg!

It's addam not anda 

And eggs are also beautiful. They taste good. 

they smell horrible

Yes, they smell horrible but only until they are cooked. 

I am talking about egg fry and not boiled eggs. Boiled eggs smell horrible at all times. 

Ranjith its a serial about an egg???

And your point is Egg is fair and handsome?  

@ Sfurti The serial is not about egg. It is about a man who is obsessed with beauty. He gets blessed with a dark child ( Prasad ) with a big black scar on his face. That man rejects the child and treats him as an outsider. Later, he gets blessed with a fair child ( Sundar ).

The serial highlights the plight of Prasad in the first few episodes.

Prasad grows up to become a good man - an avid reader and a poet. Sundar is just the opposite of Prasad. A lady enters into Prasad's life and she falls in love with his poems. He and also Sundar develop feelings of love for that lady.

This is what happened in the first five episodes. They are not uploading the remaining episodes. 

Ranjith Awwww kido just because you have put in so much effort and described the first 5 episodes, I will not make fun of it!! 

Now, listen to the title song.  It has beautiful sketches. 

This thread may soon turn into a fighting thread.  Bye Bye thread. 

Why wear heavy layers of makeup, when you can wear a mask....or that stuff that south Indian dancers do on their face.

or Rajni kanth effect 

The makeup of those dancers is different and looks good. 

Make up is a mask only in most of the cases 

Fair and Handsome + Talcum Powder + Hair Oil + Vermillion  + Comb 

where guys uses vermillion?? *assuming u r talking abt guys*

Naah makeup is not important to me, I don't own it or wear it except ocassional use of lipstick.

ND I agree but I don't think we can generalise this, some of my friends do it very well.

Ranjith really Vermillion   and fair and handsome     

Axe..?? 

Isn't vermillion the same as kumkum or am I wrong? 

What's wrong with fair and handsome? 

I don't use perfumes.

Ranjith Fair is NOT handsome 

Fair is handsome is neither true nor false.
