Stepping out sans make-up...?

[AbraCadabra]

I just wear a large paper bag.

Aye, - one excellent Aussi style sun-protection, um.

And you do put eye-holes, yes?!

You suggest that a short while back I recall...

Do you wear Gucci, Dior, or Prada, or GreenGrocer? bags if I may ask. (Sorry being so inquisitive hon)

He, he,

PS: BTW, today was one of my no make-up days...

Note to self: - Find "tinted SPF moisturiser" -

... now what WOULD be a good on, I wonder?

 I wear my bags under my eyes, they are very natural-looking

I admire the girls who have the confidence to own it cause if you see me out and about sans makeup there is a good chance the apocalypse is near

I don't wear makeup at all. None of my female friends do so I figure why bother, I seem to pass fine without it.

[Keroppi]

Early on in transition, I alwasy worn foundation. I believed it helped me pass. Since HRT has femalised my face, I have stopped wearing makeup as a matter of course. These days, I have actually found I get more (mostly unwanted) attention from guys when I don't have any makeup on. Though that might have more to do with my lack of makeup skills.

Well at the moment, I can't cover up beard shadow with self confidence sooo I kind of wear makeup when I'm out out of necessity. Maybe one day I will pass without it, when that day comes I will probably still wear makup as I like the way it can be used to enhance natural beauty. Granted there will be days where I will just say F*** it and leave the hows as is. To each their own though

I always do some very light makeup even if just hanging around the house. I try to do the "less is more" approach but feel I might scare someone with no makeup Some light foundation/tinted moisturizer type product, some brow shading (I have almost no natural brows),eye shadow, liner, mascara, blush and lipstick is my norm. If I'm in a big hurry I have done wake up to out the door, including shower, shave, makeup in less than 20 minutes. Normally it's more like 45 which includes drinking a cup of coffee etc.

I rarely wear makeup. As it happens yesterday I did, and it had been weeks since the last time. I have a somewhat fragile metabolism (for the last 10 years) and find that I can't abide most types of makeup. I have finally found a combination of products that seems to work OK for me. Oddly in this case the more expensive brands usually have a higher risk of not working. The cheap stuff seems to work better for me, metabolism wise. With "not working" I mean that the next day I will feel like I have been run over by a truck, so to speak. Muscles aching and no energy.

Oh, and another problem is that I am allergic to eye makeup remover. But, I have found that extra virgin olive oil works well too. But as it is, I don't even do that very often (you can't see black mascara on dark brown hair behind my glasses anyway).

Like a few others in this thread I don't wear make-up at all either... even though I look pretty crap
I don't currently have the motivation to look pretty...
Maybe if I get involved in a relationship I might start to learn it

[AbraCadabra]

Wow, thanks ladies for the educational I'm / we're getting.
Tomorrow, it's electrolysis for me and one DEFINATE, for AT LEAST eye-makeup.
Going to my beauty parlour "naked" like, is the one thing that just doesn't do it for me. Not so long it's not for a facial...

I have electrolysis, nails and waxing and it seems I MUST appear best possible... bad enough if we come with some eco-forest 'down-under'; so at least the 'rest' I feel better be presentable as best.

Going shopping... well, seems to require the same effort.
For all else, I now try to give my face a rest.

Shadow, mascara, liner, neutral lipstip, everyday.

[Alainaluvsu]

I can get away with foundation and concealer. I usually just use foundation, concealer, moisturizer, lip gloss... and may do an eye liner. I don't do a full face unless I'm going out like.. to impress a guy or go to a club or something.

[likealolita]

All I wear when I go out is a little foundation and eyeliner (sometimes).

[pebbles]

I only wear foundation to cover up scarring/discolouration on my face. But yes I do go without it sometimes largely when I'm going to the electrologists.
