Is it really that strange that I don't really like putting on/wearing make up?

I'm 16, and my parents think I'm some kind of freak because I don't like make-up. They're always complaining that I don't wear it and therefore do not care about how I look (I do care about how I look, though. I dress nicely and try to make my hair look good, if that's any indication).
I like the way make-up looks, but that's all. I hate putting on make-up because it takes too long and I usually do a terrible job and end up looking worse than before. I also hate the way it feels on your face. You can't rub your eyes (if you're wearing eye make-up) and if its a hot day, the make-up starts to melt and feel sticky and gross.
What do you think? Is it that strange that a 16-year-old girl does not want to wear and does not like make-up?
BQ: Do you enjoy wearing make-up?

Nope, it's just a personal opinion/preference. If you don't like putting makeup on, you don't have to. There's nothing wrong with staying natural. Makeup is never a must, just an accesory.

BQ: I do. It helps me be more confident and I feel like it makes me look more put-together if I have a little bit of makeup. I also don't have very good skin, so it makes me look more even all over. I also have fun putting on, makeup interests me :)

I've never worn makeup. I think I look fine. I look a lot better since my face cleared up, and I don't want to clog my pores with crap.

I know girls who never wear makeup. One day one of them went to school without it, and she looked like she hadn't slept in days. She looked a lot better before she started wearing it.

thats how i was all the way up to 17! im sure you dont even need makeup, most teens dont. but i just like it because it enhances my features. i agree with makeup being a hassle though because it takes to long to do and then you have to worry about it smudging etc. thats why i only wear thin eyeliner and mascara. but moral of the story, im sure your a pretty girl without makeup! maybe one day you will decide you want to wear it, but no ones forcing you!

Nope I love chicks who don't wear make up. It ruins their natural beauty. The girl I love doesn't wear make up and she's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my whole life
