splitimage - how nice to hear your consultant is helping you and you like the results!
As for makeup - I've worn it since I was a teen - but learned early on that "less can be more". It should enhance your best features and cover what you view as flaws. It is my personal choice and I will never let my hub tell me whether or not I should use it - because it is my face and my perception of what I see in the mirror.
Perhaps this question and our answers depend upon our age and comfort with ourselves? I am over 50, so maybe my answer during my 20's might have been different...
I will admit that I rarely wear makeup on weekends and my hub still thinks I'm beautiful and loves me.
