**crazycanuck** · 06-25-2006, 01:16 AM

Are we the only three women on this board that don't do makeup??? The amt of $$$$$ women spend on cosmetics is frightening....It doesn't really hide the zits....

I must shave me leggies tonight...

Kitsune & knotted..you ladies bring funkiness to this board...THanks!!!

Nope--here's another vote for no makeup! I did wear mascara for a year or so in my late 20s, but then I regained my sanity. It's just not me, and my skin freaks out when I put anything the slightest bit unusual on it anyway, so I'm better off with just cleanser and moisturizer.

On the other hand, a friend gave me a cool little Burt's Bees tinted lip gloss that I've become addicted to--it's mint-flavored--yum!

I also do not wear makeup! Never could get the hang of it, really didn't try to learn, but I do shave at least once a week, less in the winter. Hey how do you put the quote in like Bad Julu did?

No make up 4 me too (see my previous post on page 4 for the Whole Story)
(I am assuming that moisturiser on the face and bod are counted as health and not as cosmetic)

I don't either.

The most I'll do, once in a while, will be a very thin layer of extremely light foundation, which has some sun protection in it. That will be a few times a month, that's it.

And I am fond of nice lip balms and glosses.

I worked on TV for two years and I was amazed by the amount of makeup our makeup artist would put on my face. It took me about 2 days to get it all off!! I know women that wear all that every day, that's something I really can't understand..........

ROFL, mimitabby! Old ladies unite--we have nothing to lose but our powder-puffs!

Hey BadJuJu
has there been an old lady thread on here yet? I am curious as to how many of us are over 50 or... even older.

**Geonz** · 06-26-2006, 11:41 AM

As previously noted, I don't either - and I've been wondering why people think I'm younger than I am. Every wrinkle & bag shows in all its glory...

I Don't think shorts elastic would pull hair any more than headband elastic would.

No makeup for me either! See CC - you're not the only one

While in Knoxville this weekend, I was sitting around talking to a bunch of women and they all swore that I had to be at the most 30

I'm 37 fast approaching 38.

**li10up** · 06-26-2006, 02:33 PM

I wasn't allowed make-up as a teen...which was fine by me...being a "tomboy" and all. I sure hated that word as a kid. Just because a girl is athletic doesn't make her a boy! Anywhooo...When I was 42 I had a guy that I work with, he's in another dept., tell me he thought I was like 23! You should have seen the look on his face...made me feel pretty good too. But over the last two years I've had the brown sun patches show up on my face. I should have at least worn some sun screen...so you younger ladies beware. My DH used to get so mad 'cause people used to assume I was his daughter (he is 12 yrs older than me though). Sigh, that doesn't happen any more though.

**Lenusik** · 06-27-2006, 03:27 PM

Sorry, but I do shave my legs practically every night. I just feel better if I do, and it is way more pleasant to rub lotion on my legs when they are shaved. I also shave down there quite a bit and not only because it looks and feels better. I believe that it is better in terms of hygene. Being so active, wearing short there is too much sweat there which I do not want to accumulate on my hair.

And YES to make up. I don't wear much but I certainly enjoy using good quality products. No make up durin exercise and very low on weekends.

**Brandy** · 06-27-2006, 04:35 PM

I'm a shaver as well. I'm bare down there (yes...totally) and I shave my pits and legs as well. The most that I will go is about four days, and that's pushing it.

As for make-up, it's usually just a tiny bit of eyeshadow, mascara and lipgloss. DH hates it when I wear face make-up.

I should tell dh to take up cycling as an excuse to shave his legs. He already shaves his chest (claims that his bulletproof vest is too hot with a hairy chest) and his arms...though he has no excuse for that one other than not liking hair there.

**Nanci** · 06-27-2006, 04:44 PM

I agree- you should get your DH to shave his legs. Hairless men ARE bette!!
