Husband having a go when I touch up make up on holiday

Doesn’t make me worse either, but that didn’t stop the poster being responded to here call me ‘pick me’ and a misogynist…
This is a side discussion though which I’m going to drop now.

It's the level of self absorption that I find worrying. If you are supposed to be enjoying yourself and relaxing on holiday why are you continually thinking about how your make up looks? Do you think that everybody is staring at you and judging whether your lipstick is messy or your mascara smudged? Don't you go on holiday to absorb new experiences rather than spend a good percentage of it looking at your own face in the mirror?

Why on earth have you come to the conclusion you look like a bag of spanners without make up? i don't have good self esteem but describing yourseldf in those terms is pretty extreme.

And of course wearing make up is presenting a version of yourself to the world that isn't the real you.

Not the original post calling me ‘pick me’ for not wearing make up though? That’s ok with you?

Do you wear make up? That’s changing your appearance. Do men do it? On,y rarely. It’s expected of women by many men though.

What a ridiculous post.
I love make up. I enjoy the act of applying it and creativity of creating different ‘looks’. I don’t think that makes me better than people who don’t wear make up, it’s just an interest of mine. I’m not falsifying myself, I still look like me.

I’m not wearing it for men. In fact I’d be quite happy to never have a man find me attractive ever again.

If you don’t want to wear make up then don’t. But that doesn’t make you better than work who do.

@saraclara

so you want to be up and off?

you don’t shower? Wash hair? Clean teeth? Brush hair? Apply hair?

be for real, no one can just roll out of bed and be up and off (and if they do they shouldn’t as they’ll stink and look shit)

Men have never, ever expected or asked me to ‘falsify’ myself in my entire life lol

I know, I dont think I've ever actually come across such a blatent woman hating post from another woman ☹️

You’re a very nasty human.

Shockingly women can wear makeup, have deep interests, enjoy cultural experience and engage in intelligent conversation. This obsession with trying to make it an either or is actually depressing.

Exactly. Wearing make up doesn’t have an impact on my intelligence or my ability to engage in new cultural experiences.
In fact, anyone who does make those assumptions needs to widen their own horizons.

You lost me at ‘forbids’. No man would forbid me from doing what I wanted.

He’d hate me then. I need at least an hour and if I need to wash my hair then usually 1.5 hours.

I'd hate you, too. I'm so glad I'm not a bloke, and married to someone who takes that long to get ready every morning. And on holiday, too! I want to be up and doing something, not waiting for a 1.5 morning toilette to be finished.

I personally dont find wearing or popping back to a hotel room to reapply makeup incredibly stressful. Id be surprised if anyone does. They are probably really not ok if that causes incredible stress.

My Mums health, dickheads at work, the car having yet another issue costing ££, they are pretty stressful.

Makeup just so i dont feel like I look like a bag of spanners not so much. I dont turn into another person either when ive got it on so im really confused by the "be yourself" comments.

Fair enough . But it sounds incredibly stressful if you are always having to present a face to the world and you are never able to relax and just be yourself. Not really a holiday: just business as usual.

I almost never wear make up so he’d probably wonder what was going on.

Seems like an extra faff to be bothering about on holiday.

can you not relax without it?

i do only look ‘good’ with makeup on. It’s how I feel my best, I like to look good and feel good on holiday 🤷‍♀️
