I was once engaged to a real beauty. She used no makeup at all. She did do such things as keep her hair neat, combed and was very clean.

The girl I married was even prettier. She did use some makeup but I always thought she was the most beautiful right after bathing and before putting on any makeup at all.

At the end of your post, I was anticipating the word “thing” rather than “makeup.”
