I think what got me growing up was that my grandmother & I noticed a lot of older ladies would like tweeze their eye brows.....& then pick on others when they didn't look just so.......it PISSED ME OFF.....& I was the kind of kid that liked to cause trouble & be counter to anything people like that were like.....so I deliberetaly wouldn't do anything that she said & basically told her to go blow it off.

My other trick to not wearing makeup-----is that I have so many things going on in my life that I'm always late trying to get going & leaving the house. I could stay up all night & still be late leaving....so there is no time for makeup.....there's barely time to get dressed nice enough to fly out the door.

So I guess my one suggestion would be to fill your life with so many more important things that keep your time occupied that you don't have time to think about it let alone deal with things like makeup.....& my other thing was that I have very allergic reactions to makeup....when I was in college one of my girl friends had a makeup party.....I left there with my eyes swollen shut......so I don't even want to mess with stuff like that....

Strange, I never notice whether a lady is wearing make-up or not.....& like I said....it seemed like only picky old ladies would comment on stuff like that & I surely didn't want to be anything LIKE them. So I learned young in life to "DO MY OWN THING" especially if it went against what anyone tried to make me want to do because it was their thing.

I ride horses, I work on my farm & I live in a hot humid area in the summer & I hate makeup sweating off & running into my eyes & burning.....so when I did try it a few times I was miserable which went along with stopping any possible desire.

I do make sure that any cloths I have are matching at least in color when I RUN out the door & jump into my truck late for where ever I'm going.....& sometimes especially in the winter....I live in sweats & sweatshirts.....I always make sure I'm matching in color & style just because I LIKE to wear cloths like that but I end up running out the door for where ever I'm going sometimes in whatever I have on.....No one ever really cares IMO....or even notices.....I think we are the only one's aware of ourselves....or OLD PICKY LADIES.
