No he actually got backed by the kkk just look it up it was a major scandal it took him months to denouce them how do you not remeber that <| sep |> I think it really depends on your skin . My skin is clear , but I have natural dark shadows under my eyes which aren ' t covered without a good full base layer . If I wear any kind of middark shadow without covering them , it just looks like I haven ' t slept in a year . Good maybe if you ' re going as the undead or like a really gothy look , not so much if you ' re heading to work in an office . If that wasn ' t an issue , I would definitely leave my natural skin on show ! I also have rosacea , and when that flares up , any red lip is going to make my face look even redder than it is . So if I ' m wearing makeup , on the base layer goes . In contrast , when my rosacea is at bay , I will happily go out with nothing but a red lip and light mascara on . No foundation , shadow , liner , just the lip and mascara . Sometimes no mascara . A lot of people would never want to go out like that . Try things and wear whatever you think looks good . Most makeup ' rules ' are absolute nonsense , like not wearing a strong lip and strong eyes together . Before the Electric palette came out I was told my neon looks were ridiculous . I ' m sure the rainbow of lip colours we see now would have been heavily frowned upon by older generations . Do what you like if it works for you !
