Do autistic women wear makeup?

Song

I would have started a poll but I can't see how to do that.

My daughter has just asked why I don't wear any make up, 

It's uncomfortable, makes my face itch, makes me look very odd and I can't do it myself and look like anything other than a clown but my husband says it's because I'm autistic, what do you think?

    I can't go to work without my face on - it would feel like going in without my clothes on! My skin tone has always been uneven and unhealthily pale, even though I look after myself and get some sun and enough sleep. I started wearing a full face at 12 because I got so fed up of teachers asking if I was ill! The only time I don't wear make-up is when I'm out hiking - seems a waste, it would only get rained off, sweated off, or both.
