My story of 6 years thinking to (finally deciding to) wearing make-up. I was born with a very sensitive skin. It is super sensitive that one patch of the wrong brand of face powder would caused my face crazy freckles, that would gone in (fastest) one month. It hurts, doesnt look good, and doesnt feel nice. When I was 28, I started to wear a lipstick. Just the one I used to wear when I was performing for traditional dance rituals. One year passed, I started to put mascara on both my eyes. Also worked out with a pair of everyday contact lenses. My glasses fell down during my glamorous run while I work, so bye bye glasses, because it was the 4th time that happened. Anyway, no touch up for the make up, just one set in the morning before I went out, then after bus-running under the sun, both were gone before any meeting or activities started. Then the year I was 30, along with a massive-destructive-broken-heart in the early year that made me decided to cut my hair super short (Thank God, it turned out to be the hairstyle I love most of all my life, ha ha), I started to apply an eyeliner. Learned about how to do it online, and pretty happy with the results. This set of simple make-up stays for like 5-6 hours. I spent 3 years later to continue treating my sensitive skin by going to a skin doctor for consultations and long term-continues treatments. Millions of money (Im afraid to count), years passed and my skin was getting better, but just a bit. Then I stopped doing the treatments. And I was surprised that my skin were okay without any skin food or skin cream. As my mom said, even skin grows. Yours maybe just need a bit more time than other peoples skin. This year, Im 34, my make-up set completed with a proper portion of cream foundation, a face powder from the clinic, a pencil eyeliner, a mascara, a lipstick, cheek blush and eye shadow (!). I even get that Masami Souko compact powder with mirror. Still, I wont do it if it takes more than 10 minutes to get it done (usually it only takes 5 minutes). People off course reacted, but I dont really care except for those compliments off course, ha ha. And the best time of feeling good is still when I (just) wake up. Nothing, not even any make-up will beat that feeling. And that guy stays through that no-make-up moments, definitely stays in my heart (I mean off course: Daniel Day Lewis stays :D). But I must say that wearing make-up makes people notice me, and I become visible. I hate to break the news, but I love being invisible more, most of the time, I dont want people to notice me. Maybe that is why Im still not confident enough to share a picture of me wearing make up. I could die doing that. And yeah, I agree that men doesnt know anything about this. Not a thing. And to be honest I dont expect anything anyway, he he. Its just a funny routine Im still working on with after 6 years, for my self, hopefully one day it will be a helpful skill for many formal situations I will have to face. But for now, lets get dirty. Because I think, Im cool enough my self. With or without make-up. Have a nice day, everyone ^_^
