Make up

[ettieb]

Do you wear make up every day? I do...I know I look better and younger when I wear it and feel so much better. I know so many people who don't wear make up on a daily basis who look stunning when they put make up on to go out. Why wouldn't you want to look the best you can all the time? It doesn't need to take a lot of time...5 mins for basic eye liner..mascara.. blusher and lipstick...I have a friend in her 60s and if we go out she wears lipstick and mascara and looks 20 years younger! I also would wear make up if I'm just at home hanging out with my DP...I want to look my best for him. I find it baffling that people will do their hair and make up to go out with with work colleagues but don't do the same on a daily basis for their partner...

the attraction is part of a relationship and important

Of course it is, but why do you need to wear make up to be attractive to him? Has he actually said he finds you more attractive with makeup, or do you assume he does because you feel more attractive with makeup?

Uuuurgh and this post just goes to show the problem isn't make up or not make up, it's judgy fuckers who go around grading women's appearance all the time instead of GETTING ON WITH THEIR OWN LIVES AND MINDING THEIR OWN BUSINESS.

And yet you didn't feel the need to come on here and faux-wonder why other women aren't exactly like you. Good job! Keep it up.

I only wear it if I'm going out

I wear it most days, always for work. My colleagues and friends have never seen me without it. I'm fairly ugly but also have very ruddy skin so look dreadful without it. I like the process of putting it on which is just as well.

I wear it nearly every day.I have a friend who is stunning with make up but rarely wears it.She just prefers not to.

@ettieb YOU think people look better with make up. That's an opinion, not a fact!

You don’t need to make an effort with make up with your DP, hopefully they will love you no matter what. If you were a bloke on here that had said that you’d be getting called all sorts.

I do op. Not much in the holidays but I do for work and school run. I like to look slightly polished and it makes me feel good.

Most days I only leave the house to walk the dog so what's the point in wearing makeup? It's not going to make shit picking up more glamorous is it. I do wear SPF50 every day.

I will wear makeup if I'm going out for a meal or meeting family to go shopping or whatever but otherwise I don't bother.

No woman looks better without mascara

I wear a full neutral face every day and have done since I was about 15. It takes me less than 10 minutes and is part of my routine. I have sallow skin and dark circles so I feel I need it.
I put shimmery eyeshadow and eyebrow pencil, or maybe dark lipstick if I go out at night.
I know people who wear false eyelashes everyday! I never got the hang of them and I can't contour either.

I love make up and skincare. I could definitely do more for myself like get more sleep and drink more water. Maybe then I wouldn't need to wear as much make up 🤣

Attractive is subjective too. I feel most attractive when I'm relaxed, happy and natural. And smelling nice... That's important to me!

Unless they wear multiple coats and it clumps together look like spider legs 😅

Only if I’m going out to work / friends / dinner / occasion. Super market, nail salon, quick pub drink - no.

I am relatively comfortable with my appearance without makeup and think I look nice. I don’t want to waste the make up or irritate my skin

Also id like to think DP thinks I look great without; so when I do put it on it feels special

Or when they wear black mascara and black doesn’t suit them (it is not universally flattering)

But why do you need make up for him to find you attractive?

I really don't think a bit of mascara makes as much difference as some people say it does.

In your opinion.

very mood dependent. sometimes I feel like wearing something (make up, not clothes - i always wear clothes), most of the time no. I think I've probably had a full face on maybe 2-3 times of my life... mostly I find people don't really care how others look as they are often too busy worrying about their own problems?

I like make-up, I think it's fun to play with but I don't wear it every day and I certainly don't wear it when I'm staying at home. My husband knows what my face looks like, he loves me and finds me attractive because I'm stunningly witty, intelligent and interesting (I also like to exaggerate!) If he was so shallow as to only find me attractive because I was wearing make-up then he could sling his hook.

I'm 60 and have always worn makeup every day, as did my dm. I wouldn't feel properly "dressed" without it.

I don't wear makeup very often any more.

Honestly, if I ever think about it I find the idea of painting over my actual face with a made up version to be a bit... odd.

It's my face. There is nothing wrong with it as it is and I try hard not to get sucked into thinking there is.

Hit a nerve?

As it happens I don’t actually notice other women’s appearances. I was just having a dig at the OP (perhaps successfully by your reaction). OP started a whole thread judging other women for “not looking their best”. So I wrote a post to give her a taste of her own medicine.

If you’re going to make a faux-naive thread asking “why are other women slobs while I am just sooo put together and well made up every day?”, then don’t brag about wearing beauty trends from ten years ago. Blusher and lipstick as an every-day look... the mind boggles.

My partner doesn't wear make up round the house, so why should I?

We know what each other looks like - we've been together for 26 years 😂
