I tried wearing makeup every day like other girls. I think I only made it a week, and that was back in junior high. It took too long to put on and take off, and made my face itch, so I ditched it. Now I only wear chapstick, and sometimes a little lip stain on special occassions, and you know what? Nobody cares.

I’m wondering if some of her skin problems are actually the result of slathering herself with chemicals and powders for so many years.

Similar story here, in high school tried eye shadow and at the end of the day it dried out my eyelids, making them wrinkly... no more of that!

If i put anything on my face i would get zits... had oily skin and still have to this day... if it says ‘contains moisturizer’ forget it.... still gives me trouble.

I discovered years ago that foundation makeup and face powder made my skin worse so that I needed to cover it up. I stopped using it and after a month the red spots went away and my skin looked better. Now I wear only mascara on my lashes and chapstick on my lips. For dress up I might use a touch of rouge but that's all.
