I think it is a matter of what the women around us do. My mother was never into make up and so it's not something I ever became involved with.

Now, although I feel I could use some help in that department I have no skills in it and so simply don't. (Besides no amount of make up is gonna cover up this much ugly. lol)

Have you heard of a British show called Snog Marry Avoid?

It's terrifying how so many young beautiful women are plastering themselves with make up (often to their detriment) because of their low self esteem.
