Makeup is one of those things I don't use very often. For nearly every turn I have taken in the corporate realm, I have started off wearing a "full face" of makeup on a daily basis, and after the first year, I try to back off of it until I'm down to tinted moisturizer and face powder. Even just pressed powder in the parking lot, if I can get away with it.
Since I started working for myself, I have spent more days makeup-free. And the intention behind ditching the makeup has always been that I don't think it's good for my skin anyway, and I hate developing dependencies - such as expecting my made-up face every time I saw my reflection. I am blessed with decent skin, but I have had bouts of ruining it, over nerves and such. The skin must breathe, I believe, and makeup doesn't let it do that.
Makeup is now reserved as part of my psyching-up routine for special occasions and meetings. A little blush, lipstick, and eyeliner help me aesthetically reflect my inner liveliness to others. It's a shame men don't have something like that, but manly men don't want to look lively anyway, do they?
