I used to at the...Yes, but only since last summer. I used to at the very minimum use mascara, but wait...that's not true bc if I don't prep lids w at least primer followed by face powder or flesh tone eyeshadow I get black crescent moons on my lids so there's that too. Would never go w/out mascara, till last summer when I had to bring my mom to a dr appt and only had enough time to do her make-up, so I left the house with just spf moisturizer (Yes to Grapefruit non tinted) and tinted lip balm as I will never ever ever go without lip protection and well, might as well have a tiny hit of life and colour to the face (my Nana always said, "a little lipstick never hurt anyone.") After that I thought i 'd feel aweful and self concious of my uncovered flaws and unpolished appearance, but no I felt a tad more accepting of well, myself. I really don't care now recently if I have to go out in public with just a swipe of tinted balm or even untinted *gasp* !! That doesn't mean I don't take care of myself anymore, bc I always strive for a me but better look that at the least requires concealer, bb or cc cream (w spf), brows, touch of highlighter and neutral tinted lips of course...but if I simply don't have the time I won't rake myself over the coals bc of it. It was good timing on my part to become comfortable sans mascara bc this winter I went out often w/out (I did do brows, concealer, bb/cc, etc.) just skipped the eye junk as my eyes were a teary sensitive mess w the high winds and dryness in the air. Somehow it would be at it's worst as soon as I started my makeup...so right then I would know...todays gonna be a no mascara day, and for once in my life I'm sooo ok with that bc it isn't about "letting yourself go" as in down the tubes...it's about letting your insecurites go enough to realize not everyone is going to the notice the giant pores, purple under-eye circles, slightly asymetrical eyes and brows and all the other imperfections that we know so well bc we lookout for those things and are hyper aware of them...meanwhile most people wouldn't even take note, unless you pointed it out to them. I like my newer attitude, I enjoy my cosmetics but I can enjoy some days without too. Afterall, I haven't turned anyone to stone by looking at them w/out wearing MU...so that's gotta be good. ;p.

I have rosacea with the visible blood vessels which I'm incredibly self-conscious about.

The "basics" take about five minutes but take about ten years off me. I don't even slouch around the house without them unless I'm ill. Never know when someone will stop by or I'll have to run out for a minute.waymire01https://www.blogger.com/profile/03156993957158840093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-66947697359363187432015-03-16T07:54:07.648-07:002015-03-16T07:54:07.648-07:00Very rarely do I not wear makeup.

I, too, don't like the way I look without it but at this age I just don't care what other people think.
