[quote=Anonymous]I rarely wear it. Sometimes a little lip tint. Less often, mascara. I can count on one hand the number of times I've worn the full thing. Maybe that's why I don't feel oppressed? I'm AA and it seems that a bare faced natural look is more accepted in my community --although most AAs I know from the South habitually wear makeup. I love nail polish and heels. Nothing garish and no designs on my nails. My highest heels are 3 inches --a pair for formals and a pair of wedges for cruise or resort dinners. My doctor says they are bad for my feet, but I feel sad in flats. The laws of physics and anatomy are oppressing me. My older daughter works in a retail setting where there is not only a pricey dress code, but the women are expected to wear makeup and have clear "done" hair. She is transitioning from there to a career in the media. We spend a lot of the dermatologist and quality makeup. I feel this oppresses my bank account, but she's super girly and enjoys it. [/quote]
