I'm very curious about us INFJ girls. Do you guys like to wear makeup and if you do, how much? How about styling your hair to dressing up?

I don't dress up unless i have to but just a top and jeans are good for me. The most I do with my hair is leave it down or put it up with a ponytail. I suck at doing hairs haha. I love makeup but I'm trying to experiment and keep it simple. I could never be that glamorous girl but once in awhile I like to get dress up but it way too much work for me. I get tired by the time I'm done!

So simple is the best way to describe my style.

I hardly ever wear any makeup and when i do i usually leave it to eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipstick(depends though if it is a band event). for more special things i wear blush and if they force me to mascarea(i hate that stuff to no end). I usually don't like to dress up but sometimes I do feel the urge to. I only wear my hair in a few styles, in a low pony tail is normal day, in a bun is usually for band or a semi formal event, in a half pony tail for a semi formal event(although today in school i did wear it this way), in a braid(whenever usually after i get a shower and need to go do something or like when i don't want it to get all knoty like when i forget to bring a brush to sleepovers) and just a little bit of my bangs(sort of hippie style) pulled back(semi formal event)
Yeah i find the whole processes of getting dulled up tiresome and annoying, also a reason(and some might find it gross or something) why i hardly shave my legs unless there is a reason to(like having to wear a dress or swimming) i wear jeans all through out the year because I don't like shorts unless needed(like swimming or softball), shaving legs takes a long time and my leg hair only shows up in certain lighting(sunlight is one kind it will always show up in) so most of the time i have to go by feel so it takes a ridiculous amount of time and energy and bending to shave legs.
why must you spend an hour or more to 'get ready' when you aren't or don't want to be the center of attention.

I'm the same! I have a couple pairs of jeans, and a couple plain t-shirts that I just rotate throughout the week. I've worn the same shoes all year (black, slip-on vans) hahah. Usually I don't wear makeup, but if I do it's just mascara. That stuff is such a pain to get off... Hair-wise, I just throw it up into a pony tail. Woo, simplicity!

Sorry I know I'm a guy invading this thread but just have to say. ^ This is all you need, it's sexy. Though a nice dress is sexy too. :)

Just my 1.24 cents.

I only wear makeup when I go out. I don't put a lot on because I like a natural look, just enough to make my features stand out. I just put on some foundation, eye liner, mascara, blush and lip gloss. It literally takes me 5 minutes. If it took any longer it would annoy the crap out of me.

As for styling my hair I usually just leave it down and brush it. I am hardly ever seen wearing it any other way. If I'm feeling particularly daring, I'll curl it or crimp it but that's it. People tell me I look good in a pony tail but it always makes me feel too exposed lol. My hair is like my safety blanket. It's also extremely long.

When I go out it's just casual. Jeans or shorts (depending on the weather) and a simple top. And when the occasion calls for it I'll dress up more. Dressing up is fun on occasion but not all the time. I would definitely describe part of my style as simple as well. My husband thinks so too.

I'm really into the dirty hippy/bohemian look. I have longer wavy hair, which I straighten once or twice a week, and the rest of the time, I wear my hair in a messy side braid or messy bun. I like jeans and easy dresses with cardigans and chunky sweaters or blazers over. I'm really into the whole "I don't give a fuck" look. It's pretty much my uniform. To summarize; chunky turquoise jewelry, tote bags, flowy dresses, flats, flip flops, chuck taylors, and messy hair. As far as makeup is concerned, I'm kind of addicted to products, although I don't wear much; tinted moisturizer, mascara, bronzer, and lip balm. I don't know why, but cosmetics are my biggest indulgence. I like to play around with smokey eyes and dramatic makeup, but most of the time I'm rocking yesterday's eyeliner and bedhead. I feel like my general appearance is fairly representative of my personality; "I don't care, but I sort of do."

The only time you'll catch me in a dress is... wait.. never... oh, this just in, I'm wearing a dress to my 8th grade graduation? NO! lol. I'm not looking forward to that.

I like to wear black jeans, my black jacket, a normal t-shirt, my black DC's, maybe if i can get up early in the morning I'll put on some eyeliner and mascara and straighten my hair. Usually, I just have my hair down with no makeup and my hair is its wavy natural self.

I'm not much of a fashionista.

Makeup I do fairly naturally. Eyeshadow and a bit of eyeliner, and then a bit of contouring on my cheekbones. All are kind of essential for me to look 17 instead of 14 (I'm actually 19). Otherwise I'd just leave it be.

Hair: I have naturally curly/wavy hair which occasionally behaves. I don't brush it except while in the shower. It just makes it crazy. I tend to just do a bit of combing to smooth the top, and either let the rest stay down or put it up in a pony tail (or pin th sides back).

Clothes: Ok, I'll be the sad lonely INFJ girl who loves to dress up. I have several styles: Preppy (vests, dress shirts, slacks, converse), business chic (suit -- occasionally even 3 piece, or blouse and slacks), hippy/bohemian (Skirts, tunics, you name it, I wear it. You all know the style, methinks), and quirky casual (tshirts with funny sayings and jeans). I tend to rotate fairly evenly through those during spring and fall, though I end up more preppy in winter and quirky casual in the summer.

I don't give it a whole lot of effort usually, and tend to take about 20 minutes of get-ready time. I have made it so that the different pieces of each style are mix-and-matchable which makes it easy to grab something and go.

Oh, and I do wear summer dresses. Frequently :). To Church, to class -- any excuse =P

I used to wear t-shirts and jeans all the time. Until I saw a picture of myself and I looked a lot bigger than I actually am. And not to say I'm skinny, either! But I do enjoy looking petite because I'm 5'1" and actually want to look it. Also, big t-shirts tend to make my chest look lumpy...so I switched to form-fitting shirts! And ladies, I must say...drools. Hubba hubba, too. >.<

Nowadays I wear clothes that compliment my features such as dresses that trims around my chest (give them more shape) instead of my waist, mini-skirts (I have thick thighs and only recently gained enough confidence to wear them), blouses (I avoid cotton t-shirts...they seem to highlight every lump on me in the wrong way), and boots! Cowboy boots! Heh...I also have Converses and Vans...I like to feel comfortable, too! Oh, and lots of cardigans and button-ups.

As for make-up? I actually have a fear of being suffocated to death by foundation. So I stick to tinted moisturizers. A little powder on top of that, maybe some blush...eyeliner, mascara, and lipbalm (soft kissable lips! You're welcome, Boyfriend!). I don't like lip-gloss or lipstick. But I do like my natural lip-color. So I work around that!

Ah...I've been trying to get over my fear of foundation since they cover the birthmark on my forehead better than the tinted moisturizer...but I get paranoid about it looking cakey so I often just wash it off immediately. Look at my picture, that's the most make-up I would ever be willing to wear!

EDIT: -tosses @Iconoclastic Visionary a penny- There, let's make it 1.25 cents. Your 1.24 was taunting my OCD. >.>

EDIT: Actually, I tossed you .01 penny. My incorrect math was taunting my Asian-ness. <.<

EDIT: Ah! Now the .01 penny is taunting my OCD! @.@

Makeup: I only wear eyeliner & mascara. Occasionally (parties) eyeshadow, but only natural colors. Natural = the key.

Clothes: My style is all over the place. I love love love love loooooooooove dresses. And I actually really enjoy dressing up. So whenever I feel there is an occasion I'll put on a dress and high heels & rock it :cool: However, I also like jeans & t-shirts, or skirts & t-shirts. My style: sometimes preppy, sometimes casual, sometimes formal, sometimes bohemian, Indie, and for the summer I like the 'surfer-ish' look. I also like 50s clothes :blushed:
Shoes: High heels (I'm short and they make me feel sexy), converse all stars, sneakers.

Hmm yes :laughing:All over the place. I guess it depends on how I feel.

...Lol....girls and their lady-lumps....

I also lol'd at lipbalm. Them boys.

In high school I always used to like watching girls touch up their make in the middle of class, too cute and feminine. And they were always using that Burt's Beeswax lipbalm, seriously WTF? is that stuff like the greatest cosmetic in a woman's purse that everybody has one?!

And then they tell me, "Oh, ya its to keep your lips from getting chap and stuff!"
Hmph. I'm a man.

Bahaha...I only fix whatever makeup I have on in the bathroom. I don't do it in public because I feel people would think I'm full of myself. As for the Burt's Beeswax...Guilty!

I don't like the smell, though. Also, I love body sprays! I love smelling feminine and clean!

@EmmaLeigh: Maybe we're a new kind of INFJ subtype: Frivolous INFJ.

I usually have the uniform of jeans and a top, but after I got past my early 20s, I realized I couldn't wear sneakers anymore without looking like Soccer Mom, USA. So unless I'm going to the gym or going to be walking quite a lot, I try to wear a nice pair of flats. I also try to wear some cute earrings and carry a nice purse to dress up the outfit. If I want to go further than that, I wear a non-t-shirt blouse or sweater, and boots with a heel or wedge sandals, and maybe I'll throw on a necklace as well. I don't style my hair (because I have no idea how... I've tried and failed many times), but I keep it above shoulder-length so it's easier to keep neat. It's thick wavy hair that borders on curly, depending on the weather. Sometimes I'll pin the sides back or fold it into a bun if it's not a good hair day.

I loooove make-up. I usually wear a tinted moisturizer for the sunscreen, because I am insane about skin protection and because I am rather pale in the winter (and I agree with @ohTOMICho, foundation is tough!) some eyeliner and mascara, a little blush, and yes, the much-vaunted Burt's Bees lip balm, @Ena! I love it because I have full lips and look rather ridiculous wearing solid lipstick, so a nice, sheer lip balm gives me some color without making me look like a clown. I also wear concealer on some spots because I have the lovely problem of zits leaving dark marks on my face for months after the zit itself is gone, so I'll have to cover the mark FOR EV ER till it fades. The whole thing takes about five minutes and looks pretty natural, like I'm only wearing mascara and lip balm. Mascara. What a weird word.

Talking about our looks is making me think how funny it would be if we had a "INFJ Girls" calendar. LOL. 12 months of fully dressed non-skanky girls staring piercingly out of the calendar, trying to see into the souls of the purchasers, solve their problems and comfort them through the page. One could be holding out a cup of coffee. Another, a copy of Lao Tzu. I'd hold out a plate of cookies. Oh, no, wait, I call December, so I'd hold out a wrapped present.

I wear maku up most days. Not loads though It looks very natural. I neer ever wear jeans and T shirt and I only have trainers for the gym. I dress exactly like Diane Birch same hair everything Meh she stole it from me! I was not impressed when somoe pointed her out to me though i did end buying her album as a result!

I live in one of the most fashion orintated capitals of the world I guess that effects me a little but still I think would still only wear dresse. Jeans areso ucomforblae. I like to dress to express myslef and my style. Think british music festival goer for the summer months.

I don't wear make-up and I don't do anything to my hair other than wash it and put it in a pony tail when I'm playing sports or feel hot. I do regularly apply clear lip balm though.

On the rare occasion I am "dressing up," I'll put on some eye liner and mascara, maybe even curl my hair.

As for clothes, I like wearing comfortable clothes, usually a form-fitting top and some jeans or baggy long shorts. I love dresses and skirts but I do not always wear them. Flip flops are my top choice for footwear.
