I wear make-up every day. I started in my 40s, when I felt my natural glow needed a little protection and assistance. Tinted sunblock, powder to set it, some mascara, and 8-hour lipstick. Sometimes I throw on eyeshadow or blush. However, I don't add any make-up during the day, so by quitting time, there are only hints left.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I wear foundation, powder, blush, and mascara whenever I leave the house. I think I look so much better with a little lip color, but I rarely wear it. I hate having to reapply during the day.

This is also true. Well, the eyeliner and mascara are still there...

harder than doing loads of laundry
Not harder, really. More expensive.

I have a bunch of colored mascaras which add a wisp of color you can only really see close-up. I wear those most days and really like them.

Punishingly Intricate

I guess I just end up cleaning the Dry Clean Only pieces so much less often that it's not that much of an issue. Which is what the What Not to Wear people told the anti-drycleaning lady (she was also anti-cashmere and anti-silk?! craxy).
Of course...making and keeping a budget = really not something I'm any good at.

My dry-clean-only clothes sit in a bag at the bottom of my closet for months until I get around to taking them to be cleaned. This results in their never, ever, ever being worn. So it doesn't make sense for me to buy any more.

Up with the sun
Eventually I stopped trying to have a style and just went with clothes that bug me the least.
This is me. But a lot of things bug me, so I may occasionally appear to have a style simply because I'm so dang picky that all my outfits end up a bit sameish. I like the idea of having a more advanced style, but in practice I haven't the energy for more than clean hair and lip gloss.
But, am I the only one who makes sure her underpants and bra are at least in the same color family? When I just grab the first clean ones and they *don't* match at all, I feel off all day.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Who else does?
Moi. Mascara at the very least, most often a tinted lipbalm as well (that comes right off, so I don't know why I bother). Powder in the summer.
That's my work face, though. My people/show face has much more makeup.
