If you don't wear makeup, and then you get all gussied up, it's easy to look like another person. And the default compliment for somebody all dressed up is to say they look nice.

When my wife and I were planning our wedding, I asked her to please not put on so much makeup I wouldn't recognize her. She rarely wears make up, and I had been to other weddings where the brides were so made up, I honestly had a hard time seeing the person I knew in there under all the fancy dress.

So I asked her to be recognizable. She was.

People are idgits.

Like the song "You Are So Beautiful To Me" should be finished with "I don't care if everyone else thinks you're as ugly as a mud fence."

It occurs to me though, when I apply mascara to my left eye, I reverse my hand, like Clod said.

Oh, I agree. Makeup should enhance, not look like Krusty the Clown. The best makeup is barely perceptible.

I have heard a lot "you don't need makeup" and I honestly think (and you guys can yay or nay this) that men prefer a natural look.

Heh. Actually, you know, I say my wife doesn't usually wear make up, and she sometimes doesn't, but the truth is that she normally wears just a little bit, so that you don't even see it.

I'd say yay to that. Pete is make-up free.

Good woman!

I think maybe one day I'll go out with full make-up on just one side of my face......

Oh how funny. I'll join you and do the other side of my face.

Which is your best side? Mine, it depends on if it's a 'mole' or a 'beauty mark.'

I do what Clod and Shawnee said. Twist the hand around. My left hand is stupid.

monster · 01-07-2011, 08:04 PM

Apparently i do my eyeliner on my left eye half with my right hand and half with my left. I never noticed i switched hands before. I do the mascara with the same hand as the eye

Yznhymr · 01-09-2011, 11:04 PM

No makeup.

I wear only one lens in the right eye; using the right hand to insert it. I typically insert the lens using the middle finger while holding my lower lid down with the third finger of the same hand. I can do it with, or without, a mirror. Using only one lens is called mono-vision. Guys normally have a hard time correcting vision this way. For women it is easier. I think it has something to do with the brain's ability to compensate and interpret depth perception. Men characteristically have better depth perception (on the average), so going to mono-vision will usually mess with that. For some reason I can handle it fine.

I also recently made the move to progressive lenses because I was having a hard time reading up close. Once again, I am an anomaly and can switch back-and-forth between mono-vision and progressive glasses with ease. I was told not many folks can do that so effortlessly. I prefer mono-vision when running, working outside, strenuous work, etc. I hate cleaning dust and sweat from my glasses. I guess I’m just very fortunate.
