I am terrible at applying makeup, putting on nail polish or doing anything that is generally thought of as "feminine" in relation to appearance. I just.. suck at it. And yes, I confess that I am a bit envious of other women who do it/wear it well because I will never be one of those people.

.. and I confess that sometimes, I feel like half the population won't talk to me because of my refusal to doll myself up for photos or to go out and do mundane things. Very rarely will I attempt to put on makeup (usually for a costume or a really special event). Sometimes, it feels like both men and women won't talk to me because I'm not "pretty enough" so they'll never get to know anything else about me. And that ends up fueling my bitter and jaded distrust of other humans in general.

And.. this is a theme that has followed me around since I was young. I thought it might change as I got older, but it really hasn't. Yeesh.

I totally get this. I have never been a makeup or hair person and I always felt a little inadequate as a result, especially when I had a boss who told me I should really try to put more effort into my appearance so I could appear more ‘welcoming’ to customers.

Now I have certain things that bother me.. I don’t love my aging forehead but overall I feel a sense of freedom from worrying about that stuff. I know most women who put on makeup do it because they enjoy it. It’s like a fun hobby for them. Since it’s not a thing I enjoy, I just don’t worry about it. I’m 35. It’s okay to look my age.

Sooo... their makeup to my yarn then? Not sure which is more expensive, though. I mean, there are some pretty pricey yarns out there.

I might have had more interest in it if there had been people around who were interested in teaching me or letting me ask questions, but eh. I guess that time has passed now.

I’m surrounded by family and friends who like to do it because they watch YouTube videos on it. And that’s fine, but YouTube videos are very forgiving for showing flaws in application, so when you see these people in person (who apply just how they’re taught on YouTube) it’s incredibly thick and distracting. It’s enough to cure me of any belated desire to learn how to do it.

So like when the color of their face doesn't match the color of their neck?

I don't want kids either. I have enough nieces and nephews to give me my fix of kiddo cuteness.

I also struggle with nail polish. Being left handed, my right hand looks awesome! My left hand looks like a sugared up toddler did my nails.

And when their cheeks look like the surface of the moon.

Also too dark too square too wide brows.

Luckily for me I don’t have to wonder, because my sisters sleep in my guest room without washing their makeup off.

I am terrible at applying makeup, putting on nail polish or doing anything that is generally thought of as "feminine" in relation to appearance. I just.. suck at it. And yes, I confess that I am a bit envious of other women who do it/wear it well because I will never be one of those people.

.. and I confess that sometimes, I feel like half the population won't talk to me because of my refusal to doll myself up for photos or to go out and do mundane things. Very rarely will I attempt to put on makeup (usually for a costume or a really special event). Sometimes, it feels like both men and women won't talk to me because I'm not "pretty enough" so they'll never get to know anything else about me. And that ends up fueling my bitter and jaded distrust of other humans in general.

And.. this is a theme that has followed me around since I was young. I thought it might change as I got older, but it really hasn't. Yeesh.

I totally get this. I have never been a makeup or hair person and I always felt a little inadequate as a result, especially when I had a boss who told me I should really try to put more effort into my appearance so I could appear more ‘welcoming’ to customers.

Now I have certain things that bother me.. I don’t love my aging forehead but overall I feel a sense of freedom from worrying about that stuff. I know most women who put on makeup do it because they enjoy it. It’s like a fun hobby for them. Since it’s not a thing I enjoy, I just don’t worry about it. I’m 35. It’s okay to look my age.

Sooo... their makeup to my yarn then? Not sure which is more expensive, though. I mean, there are some pretty pricey yarns out there.

I might have had more interest in it if there had been people around who were interested in teaching me or letting me ask questions, but eh. I guess that time has passed now.

I’m surrounded by family and friends who like to do it because they watch YouTube videos on it. And that’s fine, but YouTube videos are very forgiving for showing flaws in application, so when you see these people in person (who apply just how they’re taught on YouTube) it’s incredibly thick and distracting. It’s enough to cure me of any belated desire to learn how to do it.

I wonder what their makeup wipes look like.

Luckily for me I don’t have to wonder, because my sisters sleep in my guest room without washing their makeup off.
