I’m curious…just how often and how much makeup do you wear, if any? If you use makeup, why do you? Habit? You like it? Our mothers do it? Men expect it? To make us more attractive? Society pushes it on us? What’s the reason?

I don’t wear makeup too often and when I do it isn’t very much (on special occasions I may do more with a bit of eye-rolling). First off, it takes time. Second, I sometimes feel funny inside putting it on, as if I’m purposefully donning some sort of mask (am I not already beautiful without it?). Third, I know it is probably not too good for my skin.

Fourth, I always think about the fact that men don’t go around putting the stuff on (yeah, why don’t they?!?! I can think of lots of men I’ve seen who might look quite a bit better with some foundation *roflmao*), so why do women do it. Fifth, my lovely mother was never a heavy user (did she not “need” it? nah, she really didn’t!). “User”….*laughs*….that word sounds funny! Does that mean we could be makeup abusers? *wink*
