As a small child I watched my Grandma apply her make up, she was rarely seen without it. My Mum however went without after having a nasty reaction to make up despite having used it for several years before hand, her lips turned green'ish and her skin had red swollen blotches. Since then all make up makes her itch and then burns her skin

So I guess that influenced me, I wear mascara and face powder maybe a little lipstick when off out on the town but would never apply it to go to work or shopping
