    Hi Everyone!

    Just wanted to share a recent experience of mine. I noticed during the past two-three months that putting on makeup (even the slightest) makes me feel so much better about myself : I feel better about my body, my looks, it makes me feel pretty no matter what's going on in my life. I notice it being a sure motivational boost. I want to work harder at getting fit and losing more weight.

    Just wanted to share, in case anyone else needed something to help them stay afloat. :drinker: :bigsmile:

      I am a makeup FIEND, I buy an interesting cosmetic every time I meet a 5lb loss! It's a great motivator that isn't food-based :)

      I am a makeup hoarder, specifically nail polish and eye makeup. I can't go into a Walgreens without buying something. :laugh:

      X2 but mine also includes lipstick

      Even on my worse days I will put on make up and it makes me feel so much better. :happy:

      Because of my busy work and work out schedule I only have time to apply it on the weekends. I do LOVE the confidence boost!

      I've been really into it lately, too! I didn't always wear it, but now I can't stand my skin without a little powder! It's really fun. I want to start rocking bold lipstick but I'm nervous I can't pull it off.

      Oh I'm addicted to makeup.

      Sephora is my favorite store.

      Oh, I'm all for anything that makes a woman feel sexier or prettier. I hardly ever go out of the house with at least a little something on (but I like to glam up).

      *Also I find, wearing pretty lacey under garments makes me feel pretty. No one else sees them, but I know they're there :-D

      i'm the type of person that either wears no makeup at all or has to pack it all on, there is no in-between for me :blushing:

      Makeup is my passion. I work in the beauty industry. Specifically I work with makeup all day long and I LOVE it. I've worked with women who are going through some serious things in their life (cancer, loss of a spouse, etc) and just by putting a little bit of makeup on them makes them feel so much better. It does give women a confidence boost.

      Since I have to wear a "full face" for work, I don't wear it on my days off and that's kind of freeing in and of itself.

      I could talk makeup all day :love:

      I never even thought about doing this. I love this idea! i am on a Benefit kick right now so I will be sure to buy myself a little treat there as a motivator every 5 pounds!

      Me too! It's pretty much full-face (falsies included) or nothing.

      I am obsessed with Clinique makeup and buy something new (like a new eye pallet or lipstick) every month or so

      I wear makeup when I go in public now. I don't wear it at home because I'm lazy and I HATE HATE HATE taking it off at night. It does make me feel better in public though.

      I love makeup. Especially nail polishes. I always feel more put together when I have nice nails (though I've been slacking lately). I use to change my nail polish color every week.

      And maybe because of the exercising and because I'm drinking more water, but my skin is clearing up, which makes my makeup routine so much easier every morning. Now if only these pesky acne scars around my lips would fade away.

      I thought the same way as you. But then I went to Sephora this past weekend and bought the Hourglass Nude color in #4. It's very cute! Check them out at the store, if you can. You'll be amazed.

      Exactly!

      Nothing wrong with that ... I love make-up. I think it goes hand and hand with confidence... and loosing just a bit of weight. Anything that makes you feel just a smiggen beautiful is well worth the investment. :)

      I am finding everything feels/looks a little better when you're a little lighter!

      I always buy makeup, but then never wear it, haha. I work in an office by myself and no one sees me so I don't want to waste expensive makeup for nothing. I probably only wear it once a week max (on the weekend), but it does make me feel good!

      Two words. Kevyn Aucoin. So expensive, and SO worth it!!

      I have a bit of a cosmetics obsession myself. When I'm not feeling energized or motivated to start my day, putting makeup on always seems to help. Makes me feel like I'm supposed to be up and doing something.

      I love all of the Urban Decay Naked palettes. And Dior Show mascara is the best thing ever.

      I love wearing a little makeup. I can't stand mascara (my eyelashes are the one thing I love about myself), but I always wear eyeliner and a bit of lip color balm stuff. It's a cross between lipstick and chapstick and works miracles in bipolar weather.

      Definitely! I've been trying to cut out time to do makeup. I always feel awesome with it on! However, it's a toss up between more sleep and looking cute, depends on the day.

      Love makeup...especially eye makeup. Fun to experiment with different colors dependiing on my mood.

      But I also love going without it when I'm feeling brave!
