I don't wear much of it now, but that's kinda because I just no longer give a shit, LOL. Oh and for the past 2 years there's literally been no reason to get dressed up or put a face on.
However, when I was younger, from my teenage years until my early 40s, I wouldn't have been caught dead in public without my makeup. Nothing major. I can't make a whole new face for myself, but I can enhance what I have pretty well.
Love the "did you think her eyelids were naturally purple?" So spot on. I mean really.
I've been told to both wear and not wear it. My mother first encouraged me to wear it because according to her, I was so pale I looked like death. At the same time, people were telling me I had such lovely skin that I didn't need it. A girl can't win. People really do need to mind their business.
