Status: offline 		I have recently changed my make up... age kind of forced that one me. I bought some of the powder foundations and face make up... and after one application... I loved it!  I didn't have to reapply and my eye make up didn't smear even after many, many hours.  Sold!  It doesn't even look like you have anything on, covers well and believe me I have stuff to cover and there is sun screen.  When I go out I wear a darker lip stick that last for hours with chap stick rather than the gloss and chap stick at home.  I do pencil eye liner and mascara.

No tanning booths... I freckle so little sun too!  I wear sun glasses... no sun screen except what is in make up.  I don't put many chemicals on my skin.  I use Infusium hair products and am straightening it now.  I live somewhat of my mother's motto... if mother nature didn't give it to you, buy it.  I will put make up and perfume on in the middle of the night just for me, but a lot of days I do nothing but chap stick and leave the curls.

So my question is - do you covert your makeup - what would you not do without?  Do you floss?  Do you wear a mask?

I hate my face, since school I was badly bullied due to my rosy complexion and now if someone mentions my cheeks I can be out of it all for days so I have always worn a heavy layer of ivory foundation, doesnt get rid of it but tones it down.

However since I have been in my current relationship I dont wear makeup every day, its bloody amazing, its not that he asks me not to, but he makes me feel beautiful for being me, without needing the makeup, he calls me pretty first thing in the morning when im at my most blotchy. Now I only wear make up for special occasions, when im dressing up to go out and stuff, its pretty liberating actually and my skins a lot better.

Status: offline 		Well... lets see

Mostly i dislike makeup, but will wear it on special occassions. I have a skin condition called vitiligo, which means that in certain "spots", my skin pigment has died off,and is instead pure white. My spots are located on neck, and chin and corner of my lips.

Vitiligo, when it first appeared, really bothered me, and i spent some time doing a mad run through various type of makeup ..to try hiding it, bought a professional makeup foundation cake called a pancake...where id add water to a sponge and then dab over that cake, and then dibble dabble it onto my face.. also bought special foundations formulated to cover scars.. both worked.. to a certain degree... but gawd.. i looked AWFUL.. i couldnt ever get the shades right... and it was always wayyyyyy to heavy a makeup for full face coverage.. id ended up looking like a ghost most times. and then it would also itch.. and rub off onto my clothes.

So yeah, i began to HATE makeup.. hate myself.. and hate how people looking at me..made me feel like a freak.

And then one day..my best friend tells me about how great mineral makeup is... at first im like..yeah..right..sure.. i've seen the infomercials.. and it LOOKS good.. but.. nothing will cover my white spots..

And it doesnt, not completely... they can still be seen, but... mineral makeup has been the best bet so far. i love how it feels.. (like nothing) which is completely different from how much it felt like those other makeups made me feel like i was wearing masks.. (way to heavy..) its light..airy.. and does a pretty good job putting color onto my white spots.. (ooh yeah..forgot to say.. but for some reason.. good old fashioned reg foundations..like cover girl coverup.. simply SLIDES off my white spots.. doesnt stay)

And so, when i wish to wear makeup.. mineral foundation is my choice.. reg lipsticks.. eyeshadows.. still work fine.. and i use those in small amounts also.. i tend to like making my makeup covered face..look like theres NO makeup at all.

But... things have changed for me... the spots are still there..will never go away... but now, i will go out in public..without bothering to try hiding them... and just dont care anymore.. its not so bad.. and i don't notice people staring as much anymore.
If so, and if they think i am a freak.. ooh well.. so what.

Now... i also do care about other things.. like taking care of my skin..and fighting the aging process.. i use moisturizing washes for bathing.. and then once out, i slather my body with tons of baby oil.. all while still wet..
I coat a heavy amount of face cream over face, and neck, and cleavage areas.
And my hair.. red and naturally curly.. and so, i wash with a moisturizing shampoo.. and then after rinsing, i use the matching brand of conditioner into my curls.. and LEAVE it in... thats right.. i never rinse my conditioner back out... works GREAT!

Status: offline 		Well, nowadays, I wash my face and that is that.  I still do not have (for some weird reason)  any 'signs of aging' on my face.  I haven't got the anxiety about 'loosing my looks' I''d need to feel to do all that 'skin care regime' crapola. 
 
I own a whole lot of make up, most of it from Chanel and Lancome, if ya happen to know those brands in GB.  They are rather expenisve compared to say, Maybelline or Cover Girl which I used when I was younger.
 
IMO, there's some truth to the saying ya 'get what ya pay for' with make up.  The expensive stuff not only goes on much better for me, it also lasts a lot longer. Make up is not necessarially better just because it costs more..I don't care much for pricey stuff I've tried from other brand lines. 
 
When I wear make up, it's a choice...like whether to blow my hair dry or leave it so it dries by itelf.  I look diffferent in the smokey-eyes-pale-lips than I do in brown-eyeshadow-and-rose-lips.  I choose based on my mood,  I guess, but I don't usually wear the smokey-eye look if it's not a 'date'.   
 
I'd love to use glitter too. If I were gonna buy more make up it'd probably be for my body, or better yet, my hair.
 
I think it'd be a hoot if a man I was involved with cared about what make up I wore...I'm adding that to my wish list.

Only time I put sunscreen on is when we're going to be out in it all day, like at the kinky street faairs, and when large portions of my skin will be explosed, such as when I walk about in nothing but a bra panties socks and shoes, at said fair.

Status: offline 		If going out, then concealer and foundation. I do not have a naturally beautiful, clear complexion. The only times in my life when I didn't break out monthly was in my early 20's while on the pill. Unfortunately I have my grandmother's skin problems. I also have her hair, I'm not going grey like most middle aged people, I'm going white. I look like a skunk with the white hair against the black.

I keep chapsticks everywhere and they have sunblock. Can't stand it on my face because it gets on my glasses but I wear a big hat all summer.

I really should wear solarshields, I've already had cataracts removed.

On a daily/regular basis, I don't use makeup, and go with the natural look.   I wash with white soap, use basic (hypoallergenic) lotion because skin is sensitive to scents and colors; and I always wear chapstick because my lips will get dry and break otherwise.  
I try to mix my lotion with some sunblock on hot/sunny days.   When I go out at night or on a date, I always wear lipstick, and if I remember eye liner.  I have other eye/face makeup, but usually forget about them or simply haven't the patience to do my face for 30minutes...  I think I'm very low maintenance makeup wise.   M

For me, there's no question: makeup is a waste of time and money and is counter-productive; I far prefer a natural face.

I've said it before, when I look at blondestar early in the morning while she's still sleeping, her face completely relaxed and free from all makeup, I just go all melty-squiggly-gooey.

At times (I'm an early riser, she's a standard issue girl and lies in) I'll go get a coffee, come back to bed and just sit with a cigarette and the drink, drinking in the beauty of a natural face.

But she's a girl. So when she wakes she's desperately unhappy to have no makeup on; I love it, she hates it.

I'm lucky enough to have met the.dark - she too looks peacefully beautiful just as she is; no need for makeup at all. And I've also met Darcy; he looks strongly handsome without makeup (no I'm not gay, I'm just saying) and as far as I know he doesn't use it.

One sees this confused no-makeup-on panic from just about all females - I guess it must just show the natural mental superiority of the male.

You're another lady who has no need of makeup at all - pure natural beauty.

(But there's nothing I can do about the natural male superiority - sorry kid).

Mind i would like to point out that not all people wear makeup because they think they 'need' it. It is very true for me personally that half the time getting ready to go out is as fun as the actual going out, experimenting with extreme eye colour and dramatic lipstick is a hell of a lot of fun and it can boost your confidence sort of a colourful mask that makes the idea of entering a room full of lust ridden drunk people slightly more bearable

Status: offline 		I rarely go all out with make-up unless I leave myself too much time before going out, then I'll play around with it for a while. Normally it's none, but sometimes I'll wear lipstick.
I'm trying to get into the habit of putting on sunblock everyday, but I hate the way most of them feel on my skin. I need it though.
For washing I stick to Witch Hazel and sorbolene, they do absolute wonders for my skin.

Status: offline 		i never used to wear makeup. the ex used to say he preferred natural. then he left and latched on to one who used fair amount. so i went from none, to some, and now i'm back to eyeliner for making my eyes stand out (people notice, tell me i look tired if i don't) and lippy slightly darker than my natural lip shade.

due to some recent surgery, my skin is sahara-like in it's quality! i've started on zinc and fish oil tabs and endeavour to increase the water consumption. so now i also slather on moisturizer as well.

my over all skin isn't as dewy as it used to be 20 yrs ago, but i frequently have people tell me i look late 20's, early 30's for my age, so it must not be too bad in the eyes of others

i much prefer to see women without loads of makeup, but would never put her down for using it if she felt she must.
