I did not mean to be offensive...
Wow, what a rude comment! And odd, because for a lot of women work is a reason to make an effort to look put-together and professional. Personally, I hardly ever wear makeup because I just don't like to mess with it and I don't like the feeling of having all sorts of gunk on, so I only put it on for formal occasions and then not that much. Therefore I'm not someone you'd be likely to see with makeup on while on the bike, running etc.
