Kristen - I feel like I'm not properly dressed up for a special occasion if my face isn't "dressed" too, I guess :-). But yeah, there are definitely times - like swimming - when it's totally beside the point.

I never wear make-up if I can help it but I do put a small amount on for big events like weddings. I just don't like the feel of it, the worry about it potentially smearing if I do something like rub my eye, and the hassle of taking it off at night when I could be curled in bed reading already. So basically my lack of make-up is purely a bone laziness. Oh, and the fact that I was a swimmer for 15 years and there was no point in putting it on only to have it all wash away might have imprinted me early on. ;-)

Janelle (Brimful Curiosities) - I can imagine that would complicate things. My skin is problematic at times, and I ease off on the makeup when it is.

I don't typically wear makeup. I have a hard time finding a brand that doesn't bother sensitive skin.

Ti - I feel more like I wasn't wearing it for someone else :-) - now I don't worry about it, and I wear what I like.

Serena - I'm starting to think I should dial it back a little. I like wearing it, but don't like looking "made up."

Amy - Don't you live in Brooklyn? It's not exactly a desert climate :-) - but it's not the Southeast, either, where everything just melts, and it really is hardly worth the trouble!

This is a great post! I go through periods when I'll wear makeup every day and then I won't wear etc. If you're wearing it because you want and it makes you feel good, good for you. I think I look better, more awake, more fresh when I wear a little blusher, mascara and some gloss. I just get lazy about it occasionally. But if I lived where it was humid much of the time I don't think I would bother!

I go through phases of wearing makeup all the time to not wearing it at all. I'm a bit weird.

I don't put make-up on (what little I wear) for others. I just do it for me. I feel more pulled together if I have lipstick on. It's the one thing that I have to have besides sunscreen.
