[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 38 and don't wear it, although I continue to buy it with the honest intention to start. I am fair skinned, dark hair, dark lashes. I have been told I have really good skin. But I know I look better with mascara - it opens up my eyes more. I probably need concealer for under my eyes, and cheek color.

When I "do" my makeup, I just do mascara, use some shadow as an eye liner, and something like Clinique Chubby Stick for my lips.

The true reason I don't wear makeup is that I just usually say to myself - what's the point:(  I feel like I don't really need to pretend make-up will make me look good, when I have bigger problems to deal with, like weight loss. I know that is messed up! Especially since the one time I had my makeup professionally done for a wedding, I really loved the way I looked! I wish I could start looking at it as a must, like brushing my teeth.

For what it is worth, in my office I think the women are pretty evenly split between those who wear make up and those who don't. It is a professional, corporate environment. [b]My husband also prefers the more natural look on me[/b] - he thinks wearing make up every day will make you look more washed out and uglier on the "off" days:) [/quote]

[b]Most men I know, including DH, say they prefer the natural look[/b]. I haven't heard them say that it makes you look uglier on off days, rather they don't like too much artifice.[/quote]

Because they aren't used to seeing the normal you. Go a few days without painting on your fake mask, and gradually everybody will relearn what your natural face is. Pretty soon, they'll find it weird when you are wearing makeup instead of when you aren't.
Yeah, and I appreciate that, but whenever I wear less or no makeup, I get the "you look tired" or "are you feeling sick" comments.[/quote][/quote]
