(I love comments!)<BR/><BR/>It's funny because I think putting on makeup every day can just become a part of your routine--something that you don't even think about anymore. Making a conscious decision not to put it on anymore probably takes a lot more courage than most people realize. I think wearing makeup can be fun, and anyone who wants to wear it should do so without guilt, but I guess, personally, I worry about it becoming a kind of crutch.<BR/><BR/>I actually got to a point where I started to feel moderately less attractive without my makeup on. When I got there, I realized it was time to ease up a little. So I stopped wearing it as frequently, and now I feel better about myself. I think I look great with makeup and without. And that's really where I want to be.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your story.Mr. Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14538725473114928203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335372729145133751.post-78756737541731339062008-10-30T19:48:00.000-04:002008-10-30T19:48:00.000-04:00Since turning 13 I have obsessively applied makeup...Since turning 13 I have obsessively applied makeup to my face everyday before I would leave the house. Not because I thought I looked bad without it, but because I felt I looked better with it. Like you I enjoyed trying new things, playing with colours and techniques. Recently though I have stopped to consider exactly why I can't leave the house without putting on my face (yes I was one of those people). I feel like I gain immense confidence from putting makeup on and it generally makes me feel better about my appearance. With that being said I've realized how completely ridiculous it is to cover my natural face every single day. Since turning 18 in april I have begun wearing less makeup, trying lighter applications or skipping it altogether. And you know what, I still think I look good. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting this blog!Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983239346589043772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335372729145133751.post-42215035427978408922008-07-20T23:26:00.000-04:002008-07-20T23:26:00.000-04:00Ditto to the max.As The Bride at that fall wedding...Ditto to the max.<BR/><BR/>As The Bride at that fall wedding, I can't tell you the pressure I had to wear makeup that day. ("Not even for the photos?!")<BR/><BR/>I didn't, by the way (okay, other than some concealer on a monster zit). <BR/><BR/>That was like my last big fat test on whether I'd wear makeup when the heat is really on. Because I didn't wear makeup <I>at my wedding</I> (*le gasp*), I finally, finally feel that I've sufficiently stuck it to Maybelline and the beauty militia -- and now I can wear all the makeup I want whenever I damn well please. <BR/><BR/>And please I do. The good stuff too (<A HREF="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P2862&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=3976" REL="nofollow">Nars</A>, you overpriced bastards). You and me Mr. Lady, we gots to make a trip to the makeup counter. <BR/><BR/>Promise you'll teach this makeup n00b how to do smudgy eyeliner -- in return I'll show you smoky eyes, it's the one thing I know how to do :)Chaydayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01735984886813307357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335372729145133751.post-52476436388975714022008-04-03T15:52:00.000-04:002008-04-03T15:52:00.000-04:00Dearest Mr. Lady, I, too, have shifted into enjoy...Dearest Mr. Lady,<BR/> I, too, have shifted into enjoying The Makeups.
