Love make up love art ?

I recently bought Urban decays Naked and I really love it as I feel like I can really be creative and blend colours with it.
There was a thread in chat the other day about people who disliked wearing make up and I would feel sad if I could never wear it regardless of the vanity side of it. I love drawing ,painting making cards with lots of sparkles, buying nice clothes (thought of wearing a uniform for work depresses me)
Anyone else the same or are there artists out there who hate make up ?

I've always tried to explain that i love the artistry of makeup, rather than that I am just vain! I love putting colours, combinations and techniques together. It interests me beyond mere functionality/camouflage/vanity.

That said, I work in contemporary art world and I know lots of incredibly gifted creatives who don't wear a scrap of slap...

Well i don't mean anything to complicated just that I put some colour on then a darker shade in the socket line and a lighter shade under the brows. If you want to mix the colours you can to make a new colour. Just experiment and see what works for you. I love the grey pistol shade I think it is on my lids.
I just love the way its like a water colour palette I don't bother washing the brush in between either !
I should have said its Naked 2 but I have heard the original is just as good.
If you want more expert advise Lisa Eldridge does a good video for younger looking make up.
