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?
There are certainly some cosmetics that are awful for my skin, which is both sensitive and combination. Clinique is supposed to be hypoallergenic for those with sensitive skin though I don't really think their range is aimed and the majority market - it's a bit "old lady" for my taste.
If I'm going to an appointment, dining out, working on-site, etc. then I will always wear a full face of makeup but it's all neutral - I don't do anything tarty or elaborate. I was never any good with my make up applying skills so I learned to keep it simple and rely on particular brands and formats.
