A fair question.

I love makeup. I enjoy shopping for it, applying it, and wearing it. That doesn’t mean I load it on with a trowel; I know how to apply it properly.

It’s fun to sit down in front of the mirror and put it on...it’s kind of starting out with a blank canvas and making things come to life.

No matter how good a woman looks, makeup serves to conceal flaws-—and every female has them-—and to accent her good features.

And, that is the secret. It isn't wearing make-up, it is over-doing it with the make-up.

I am 60, and my skin is no longer perfect. When I was in my 20's, I rarely wore make-up. But, as I aged my skin changed. I have a bit of rosacia on my cheeks, and I tone that down. Also, I have very fair skin, and I really do look completely washed out (ill, really) without a bit of color on my face. I use a bit of mascara, not tons, just a little, to accent my eyes.

So, I do believe that if you are noticing how much make-up someone has on, they have on too much. Should be just enough to tone down problems and accent the better bits.

Same here. I view it as an opportunity to be artistic.

I certainly can't argue with that......but personally, I prefer women who don't use makeup. They look the same in the morning as they did when we went to bed.........
