Do autistic women wear makeup?

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 wear make-up. My mum always wore make up and I used to watch her putting it on in the mornings - I was curious and had a play with all her cosmetics. I enjoyed applying make-up and being able to change how I looked. I liked really dark eye make up as I thought it was pleasingly gothic and romantic! 
    I still wear make up but only if I’m going out somewhere - not if I’m just staying at home. I don’t find it itchy or uncomfortable.
