Some great points by Susan and Rachal both! An interesting observation is in how one is often perceived by the same people when we present "made up" and when we choose to wear little or none. Interestingly, there have been comments wondering if I was feeling alright or if there was some other malady being suffered when not wearing makeup. It's interesting how we are perceived by others just as much as in how we perceive our own sense of self. Others who may generally only see us made up a certain way become concerned when we change our routine. I can't say the number of times people have wondered if something was wrong with me when I changed a routine or skipped a step that I usually do. Makeup may not only be a personal aspect of our lives but it can often become part of an expectation by others as to our own identity. In reading this thread, it was a thought and a reflection from some interesting moments and comments recalled my own life and that of my spouses!
