So I was going through my makeup drawer in my bathroom today and threw out a bunch of old, used makeup that I wasn't sure how old it was.
I used to wear makeup every day. Whether I was going anywhere or not. I just felt strange if I didn't have it on. Now, I only wear makeup if I'm going somewhere and then it's not much. Usually just mascara and lip gloss. It just depends on where I'm going. I've gotten to where I wear it less and less often. Any other ladies here find that it's just not worth the hassle anymore?

If I'm going out, people coming over, etc. I use powder stuff instead of foundation, very natural color eye shadow, my lipstick is gone quickly it seems. I find a good mascara is essential. Like that old Clairol ad, I wan people to ponder "Does she or doesn't she", Not think "Oh, make-up!!"

I'm not a makeup person. I used to use it when I was about 14 or 15, but it was too much of a pain to put it on before going to school in the morning. I liked to sleep in, so I quit wearing it in high school.
Last time I tried wearing makeup, I ended up with an allergic reaction to something in the makeup. (it was a high quality makeup too) Tried it again with a different brand a few other times, and got allergic reactions then too...so now I'm scared to use any of it for fear that I'll be allergic Sure saves me a ton of money. I dont even paint my nails. I'm more about earrings and necklaces than putting makeup on my skin. I havent worn any of my jewelry for a long time either. I need to get a new jewelry box. Gave my old box to my niece because it was too big for my room, and havent replaced it yet. (gonna get one that hangs on the wall)

I never wore much make-up, and wear even less now. I always thought I looked like a Halloween freak when I was wearing it anyway. All I really use is mascara, brown, because my eyelashes are blonde and unless I wear mascara I look like I don't have eyelashes.

I usually only wear brow pencil (not much brow hair left) and mascara; I perspire so much when moving even slightly that I sweat any powder/foundation off...

Brow pencil.....that's the other thing I use when I go out. My brows are so light - eyelashes are, too - that they're virtually invisible unless I use something on them.
Since I've gotten older my vision has gotten worse. I don't even think it has anything to do with MS, either. I think it's just age and my eye doctor sort of confirmed it. I'm afraid I'll look like I tried to put on makeup without a mirror......so I just use the essentials and make sure to check it really well before leaving the house! In a way it's sort of liberating. I honestly don't care if I'm not wearing a "full face" anymore. It feels lighter, I feel better and my skin is probably happier, too!

**raises hand*** me.
I used to look very nice each day. I had the minimal look, but it took some work to make it look like I didnt try. I have always had great skin, and took good care of it, but once MS hit my skin looked pasty and I needed more and more make up. Since my dx...nope, cant be bothered. dont swipe mascara anymore, and my lipstick turned into chapstick. That is about as fancy as I get. About six months ago I was going thru my make up and threw away some expensive stuff. I worked hard to get the best, and there it sat, collecting dust. My mascara had become one giant clump in the bottle and my lip stick had turned colors. ick! so, nivea cream or oil of olay at night, and a swipe of mositue lip balm is my make up now.

interesting... make up... I do recall the concept
wore it in high school--the 60's... 70's = hippie = no more make up perfume...omg, even little smells can create a giant headache so no perfumes either so no make up now for the majority of my life... now, if they had a make up that removed fat, I'd be all over it

Fragrance is still the one thing I enjoy. Not alot of it, though. Just very subtle.
My favorite is Philosophy's Amazing Grace. It's very light and a small container of it lasts me more than a year. I hate it when you can smell a person before you can even see them. That's not what perfume or cologne is supposed to be used for. Someone in Publix had on so much cologne the other evening that you could smell it before you even walked in the store! It smelled like a man's cologne.....guess it was the classic "I'll just spray some of this instead of taking a shower" logic.

I can still enjoy a touch of Chanel #5 on the wrist, but then I have always detested heavy perfumes.
I remember getting sick as a kid, when anyone came around carrying a heavy *parfume* scent..
