to think 99 percent of people would look better with a bit of tinted moisturiser, lip balm like vasaline,natural mascara and v light natural blusher

[magicpixie]

most folk would look healthier, more groomed

not sayng they should do this, but that it would make them look more awake, brighter healthier

Better than with no make up at all, or better than if they wore loads?

yeah I know it does hide blemishes, that's the point!

Just slap a mask on everyone, op...

YANBU. Jimmy Carr looks lovely with his slap on.

But seriously, yes most people do look better with subtle make-up on obviously. Not sure why you've started a thread about it tho. It's entirely personal choice.

Thankfully 99% of people aren't as vain as you.

I don't care what I look like 99% of the time.

As long as my clothes are clean, I don't smell, and my hair is brushed I am good to go.

It's astonishing that making this LAW is not part of the election manifesto for any of the major parties.

OP, have you thought of standing as a single-issue candidate?

Our cities, parks and open spaces should be an eyesore no longer.

Mind you I am the 1%. People swoon as I walk past. Random men run up to me in the street with flowers - and I don't even use Impulse spray. I've been offered many modelling contracts but I've decided it's not fair on all the other people in the industry.

Maybe I need the Stan Winston school to help teach me make-up skills.

Are you an Avon Lady? If not I am not sure why it bothers you if people wear make-up or not!!!

Sorry, ignore me. Clearly my brain just 'sploded there or something! I've confused even myself. I think!

Magicpixie, the last time we talked, you were pissed as a drunkard's fart.
I doubt a boatload of cosmetics would have helped you look bright and healthy.
I think most people would look better with a smile, but a large number just stomp past looking grim and pissed off, even if their make-up is fab.

And people say Mn has dumbed down.

They might look 'better' but, unless they are cattle being sold in a market, I don't see how it will make a difference to any outcome. Or do you not buy a ticket or your groceries from someone looking a little pale or tired?

For me, it would be a betrayal of my principles, not to mention a waste of my money and an unnecessary use of my time.

Yes, most women would look better

But who wants a society only based on looks ... oh wait, we have one.

I've downloaded the Duolingo app and am learning very basic French in 5 minutes a day - personally I think anyone would be happy, healthier and more educated doing this - a more worthwhile goal maybe than spending it on looks?

But I wouldn't impose it on anyone else ..

'It's astonishing that making this LAW is not part of the election manifesto for any of the major parties.'

I reckon it'll be the next thing on the curriculum, along with how to shake hands and have a conversation.

I look better with make up definitely but not the combination you describe.

I don't like tinted moisturiser, Vaseline is a barrier cream actually very bad for your lips.

OP - you are the woman in Starbucks this morning who was looking at me pityingly.

For the record, I got a flat tyre on the way to creche and was waiting for it to be fixed. Only the nursery staff were supposed to see me!

The Welsh X Warmblood doesn't give a shit what I look like, as long as I have his haynet over my shoulder and his feed in my hand.

Do you work for Unilever OP?

I find it mildly upsetting to think there are people out there judging me for not looking like they think I should. Not sure what's worse, the being judged by an individual or being measured against a marketed standard of what "awake and healthy" looks like. Few things annoy me tbh, but a sweeping assertion that the face my parents gave me somehow just isn't quite up to scratch unless I embellish it, is ridiculous. Bog off and colour in your own face.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Maybe ignore is the best option.

Awesome! YY to this, saves me typing my own reply :)

OP, you are a bellend.

What is natural mascara anyway? Is it clear with no colour, and if so what is the point of that..................?
