[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, lotta hate in this thread.

Me: 35yo manager in a male-dominated technical field.  I wear lipstick and other makeup to work (foundation or tinted moisturizer, eyeshadow, mascara, groomed brows, etc).  My lipsticks range from neutral or pink in the spring to mauve or purple-ish in the winter.  I really the lipstick pretty frequently, but it does still fade off sometimes.  Blotting with a tissue helps with the smearing problem.

That's my preference, not everyone has to do the same (in fact, I prefer it if we DON'T all look the same!).

I am not always a girly-girl.  I hunt, fish, camp, and stuff like that.  I don't wear makeup in those activities, lol.

For work, I'm usually in a suit and heels.  Makeup fits with that, it feels more "matched" than a bare face with fancy clothes.  Again, my opinion only.

Other times, it varies.  I might brush on a bit of powder & mascara to wear with jeans on the weekend, or "get done up" for a date night with hubby.  Or I might throw on old jeans, tie my hair in a ponytail, and spend the day digging in the garden.  Makeup gives me another option for making my "look" as relaxed or as dressy as I want to fit a particular activity.  I think it's fun, a way to express creativity in my appearance. [/quote]

Mauve lipstick is disgusting.[/quote]
