Makeup?

So this is a question for the ladies... Why go through the makeup routine? I have never seen a woman (who took care of her skin/self), that didn't look better, more natural, more... oh I don't know, maybe the word is "herself" without it, than with it. With all the foundtions, mascara, eye shadow, and on and on. Sure, maybe a light touch of lipstick, or a little of this or that; but why do some women slather on all thae makeup? This question came to mind when I read something the other day about a mother trying to find less expensive makeup for her daughter who was ahving a girls makeup party.

devil's advocate here...many women you think are going "natural" and not wearing makeup, are in fact wearing makeup, just not much, and skillfully applied. :)

@Salix75 I use moisturiser and a bit of powder and Vaseline on my eyelashes if needed 🙂

@Salix75 I put on some blush and some mild lip color and I'm still single 🤣

@Salix75 Oh I know that, and I appreciate how skillfully applied bits of makeup can enhance. I guess I meant, when I said "slather on" those who completely change how they look. I should ahve better phrased my question.

@frequentlyme I hear you. I see some (mostly younger) women these days with so much foundation their skin no longer looks like skin, and don't get me started on the current trend of drawn on thick, dense eyebrows that look more like strips of electrical tape stuck on over their eyes!! 😖
