I’m a woman. I don’t wear makeup and I’ll tell you why. I have a lot of reasons.

1. I’m too lazy. (Meme applies). This is infact my number 1 reason. To be honest.

2. I don’t feel other people deserve for me to get dolled up for them. (I occasionally wear eye makeup when meeting up with my bestie gals, even just hanging out at their house and I loudly proclaim I got dolled up and shaved my legs for them).

3. As I’m getting older, I suspect that if people get used to seeing me with makeup, then when I don’t wear it, they will think I look like shit that day. And I want people to know this is what I look like all the time. So no better face to downward compare my regular face to.

4. I seem to have built up a mild allergy to foundation makeup over the years without realizing it (since I don’t wear makeup) and now I can’t really wear it. At least not the kind I have. I do occasionally wear makeup to comic con for a costume or a rocky horror show. So that’s how I realized I’m now allergic to foundation. But again those are special situations. Probably some out there I’m not allergic too but refer back to reason #1 as to why I haven’t sought it out.

5. As a feminist. Who has 3 nieces. I want them to see that it’s normal for a woman to not wear makeup. Idk if they get it.

6. I think I’m decent looking and I don’t need it anyway. As I’m getting older I still think that. My face is mine. It’s not a bad face. It changes with time. As it should. I don’t think aging makes someone ugly. Just different. And ive had that opinion for as long as I can remember so as a woman and aging, I’m not as anxious about “losing my looks”.
