Should I wear make-up when I drop kid off at school?

[Anonymous]

DC is starting at a new private school that is 45 minutes farther so I have less time in the morning. Can I skip putting on make-up or is that a mistake?

Most women don't need make-up. They look as good as they will ever be au naturel. Make-up tends to highlight the fact that there's something to hide in the first place...

I rarely wear a bra. It's drop-off.

Skip! Don’t worry about it, OP.

Not true. Depends upon the amount of melanin you have.

This is not true.

But OP, just do what you want.

I don’t even have to get out of the car. No one sees me at drop off.

Wear what you want.

And if it's car drop off, extra wear-what-you-want, since no one will even see you.

HOS stands put and chats to all the parents. If you're OK with that then, make up free!

Ours doesn't. He just opens doors. No time to chat.

I dont get out of the car and DC is in high school so there is no administrator in the HS drop off area. Hence, I see no one. Hence, I don't wear make up.

Maybe it wouldn't drop off if you wore a bra

This is a serious question?

For most women devoid of an actual skin condition, it really does not matter, because make-up or no make-up, people see the figure, the hair, facial features, posture, attitude... and those create so much more of an impression than whether you have a slightly more dewy look, or whether your pores are slightly obscured, or whether your eyelashes are darker, or whatever else you think you're doing with your make-up. No one's looking that closely at your face! It's not saving the rest of you.

Apologies if I offend, but it's the truth. I hope it's liberating to hear, because you really shouldn't be that dependent on chemicals you slap on your face every day.
