I'm very selective about the makeup I'll wear. For years, I avoided all foundation because it made me break out (still does) so until my wedding and the discovery of mineral foundations, I never bothered. And I avoided all eye makeup because my eyes tear up easily and it was either running down my face or on so tight (waterproof) that I couldn't get it off at night! Now for work, I wear a dusting of mineral foundation, gel (ie. smudge proof) eyeliner, water proof mascara that washes off with soap and tinted lip balm. Weekends or exercising, I wear nothing on my face.
My hair is no longer colored, it's super short and I don't bother with manicures or hairdryers.
I do still wear jewelry and care that my clothing fits and is flattering (even workout clothes). I care about my appearance, but I work hard to keep it quick and easy and above all, natural looking.
I love the idea of bangs but it wouldn't work for me. That would require more work than I'm willing to put in. Plus, they'd have to be so long in order to cover my crease lines that I'd have a hard time seeing anything!
I should clarify that I actually don't mind my wrinkles at all. I just don't like the deep crease between my eyes that makes me look angry all the time (it's been there since I was in my 20's so it's not an age thing). I also don't like the bags under my eyes but now that I wear glasses all the time, that's camouflaged beautifully!
