Female clothes sizing is a joke. Every fecking shop does their own thing. I go into NewLook and the jeans that fit me are a size 10 (8 US). I go into Matalan and I need a size 12. Some shops I have to get size 14. That can be on the same day, so it isn't that I have been size shifting in the meantime.
Same with the 'long fit' and 'normal fit'. Some shops the 'normal fit' barely reaches my ankles. Other shops the 'long fit' is long enough to trip me up.
On the wearing make-up: I think it's one of those things that once you get into the habit of it, you don't feel quite right without it. I have had very brief periods of wearing make-up. But I just dom't like it. I don't like the feel of it on my face. I like the look of it, when I do wear make-up, but it's only in a blue moon that i do it. And when I do, I don't wear foundation/base or anything like that. Usually, if I am doing make-up it's just a little brown/black mascara, having first removed most of the stuff from the brush onto a piece of tissue, to it's barely there. A little onto my eyebrows, again barely there. And some lipstick. Very occasionally, I'll add a little eyeshadow.
