Au Natural or....

  • I wear make up about 99% of the time but it is very light. My Mom never left the house without putting on make up and doing her hair so I guess I just took on that mentality as well. Lately I have been letting my hair air dry so that it's curley but that is more of a morning time saver due to a tempermental toddler than fashion. I am usually a heels and jean or ballet flat kind of girl. The tennis shoes are worn to work out and during football season only :drinker:

    I probably have two days a year when I go barefaced-- usually due to being sick as a dog.

    I never wear sneakers and jeans and rarely wear a ponytail, aside from physical activity. I've come to terms with being a high-maintenance girl. Doesn't bother me, shouldn't bother you. I don't like the idea that anyone should be judging another woman for their level of comfort, either. I'd never feel like someone should or shouldn't do what I do, and all of my friends run the gamut from ponytails and sneakers every day to full makeup face (even more so than I wear) and fake lashes, etc.

    Out running errands I usually am casual... jeans/t-shirt/shorts/sneakers/flipflops/etc. (depending on the season, etc.). I have never worn sweats inside of a store except for maybe once or twice when I was VERY sick and going to pick up medicine. I usually wear a little makeup, mascara and powder at minimum... but not as much as I do daily for work.

    Out to dinner with DH depends on where we're going. Nice restaurant, yes I will dress up and curl my hair, etc. Sports bar is jeans/sneakers/t-shirt.

    I just put moisturizer with spf on my face every day. I only use make ups for special occasions/events. Cloth-wise, I am mostly in tank/tee, jeans/shorts and flip flops.
  • I prefer my wife to be natural, because that's how she looks her best.


    Great reply!

    Jeans and T-Shirt for grocery shopping and errands.
    Not a make-up kind of girl, even when dressing up......

    I typically wear no make-up except for mascara. I'm really big on following a skin care regimen and always wear sunscreen, so I don't feel like I need foundation on a daily basis.

    As far as clothes go, it really varies depending on the weather and my mood, though my go-to piece of clothing is a pair of dark skinny jeans. I never wear sweatpants, pajamas, sweatshirts, or ugg-style boots in public.

    au naturelle. It's not like I'm looking to find a man at the gym. Plus my skin is really sensitive. I doesn't like clogged pores. It breaks out even when I wear sunscreen which claims it won't clog pores and it doesn't have oil. It would have a fit if I went to the gym with anything other than lip gloss.

    My bride, Miss P, an attorney, NEVER goes out of the house without looking made up - she is a beautiful woman to start with, but when dressed, she is a 65 y.o. knockout. She says she never knows when she might run into a client or a potential client.

    This is the reasoning I use now. I never know if I am going to run into someone I know or work with. It never fails that the day I am out picking up a prescription because I am sick and LOOK sick is the day I run into someone I want to leave a good impression on. It's a no win situation.

    Also, I've noticed that when I do dress up or put make up on, people treat me differently.

    I never go ANYWHERE without mascara on. I could care less what the rest of me looks like

    I don't understand when it became acceptable to go out in your PJs.

    The lipstick and sneaker thing really stuck with me, as my Dad is usually very reserved.

    Curious to know, what were his expectations of men?

    My Dad expected my boyfriends to be well dressed; clean jeans and shirt, shaved and showered when they came to visit. He expected them to be well mannered and to be able to hold a conversation. :)

    Its very unusual for me to leave the house without at least eyeliner on, I dont cake myself in makeup but do like to at least wear a little when out in public, you never know who you might bump into!

    However I do draw the line at getting made up for the gym/Zumba as I dont want panda eyes as I sweat a lot from my face!
