Makeup when cycling?

[shootingstar]

Lipstick and eyeliner are my friends.

And if I don't use wax pencil to fill in a scar on my brow, I look like Snidley Whiplash.

I have a bazillion lipsticks, and I'm always yearning after more. (kinda like bikes! )

Problem with my collection of lipsticks is that over past decade I'm wearing less and less makeup...so time to clean out it again.

I guess because I did have bad acne as a teenager where I did see a dermatologist at that time and took tetracycline oral medication plus a regime of careful face washes and minimal makeup...now, with that problem cleared ages ago, I find it freeing not to think much about makeup ..at all.

For certain my face would still break out in zits if I wore any foundation/blush while engaging in any exercise.

I figure on the bike..one of the sports that's faster than jogging....whoosh..no one can barely see you well up close. Unless there's a big date at the end of the ride. Even riding with someone else...well you do sorta have to pay attention where you are going while semi-looking at the person.

In personal life, don't need to please anyone: my partner (who cycles heavily) HATES it when I wear makeup. He is literally allergic to the smell of makeup.

But sunblock..yes most definitely!
