Honestly, I hate the way threads about makeup, clothing, shoes, hair color, etc. often seem to get unnecessarily judgmental. I think it's awesome that there are women who don't wear makeup, but could we tone down the insinuation that those that do have somehow bought into something perverse or that makes us look look cheap. I am an educated, liberal women with a professional job. I run, hike, bike, and kayak. I lift weights and jump around for fun. I get sweaty and dirty and sore. I also wear skirts, heels, and a modest amount of makeup and perfume. I color my hair. And I don't feel like I should have to apologize about any of it, and yet I can think of a number of threads over the years where I've been made to feel like I should. I think that's unfortunate.
