Do you wear make up, . . .

I stopped wearing makeup in high school when I discovered if I didn't put it on I could sleep 10 min later.

I never really picked up the habit again, but will wear powder; in the summer to keep from sweating so much in the humid, and in the winter to keep my face from freezing.

I am a chapstick addict and will wear lipstick if going somewhere special. I have very fair skin with black lashes and brows and sometimes I feel I look like a ghost.

The other side is that I prefer a very light touch with makeup and I dont' look that different with or without.

But if I exercise later in the day I don't wash my face, either.

A week or so ago I and a mixed group of co-workers got into a discussion about makeup. A male co-worker brought up the women of Destiny's Child and said he preferred Kelly Rowland to Beyonce because Beyonce "is all makeup." I informed him that we're all "just makeup." He thinks I'm hot so I told him the plain truth, that when I don't have my makeup on people think I'm sick. Without foundation and powder my skin tone is so uneven I just look like H*ll so I wouldn't DREAM of being seen in public without makeup. Besides, I'm 47 and single and there are cute guys out there... and IN there... like IN the gym.
