Are you a "lipstick aspie"?

Post Reply New Topic

I don't wear makeup often. Mostly, I just put on some sunblock and moisturizer and leave it at that.

Personality-wise, I'm not particularly feminine (or masculine, for that matter...I feel mentally androgynous). However, I'm very feminine looking (which doesn't match up with my self concept AT ALL) so I use it as an excuse to be lazy about makeup.

You just described me to a T! I had a spasmodic attempt at makeup and femininity, but it such hard work. You have to be obsessed. And I was just trying to fit in and feel more normal anyway, which isn't likely to happen.

I've actually always hated lipstick. It just feels like this odd coating over my lips. It never tends to last long on my lips either. Mascara feels funny too. I always end up with black fingers from scraping it off when I have worn it.

Other make-up is not so bad, but mostly I can't be bothered.

I don't really wear makeup that much, but then again I'm 15 and don't really need it. I'll occasionally wear makeup if I go somewhere (usually a little to school), but I'm usually inside all day since it's summer and I have nothing to do, so I don't wear any. My friend wears makeup a lot, even when he's home and I think he's a little crazy for that (but I still love him). lol =)

and plus, makeup is sticky and annoying especially when it's 90 degrees and 100% humidity outside.

You guys must be having an unusually cold summer as well. I'm up in Ontario, Canada, and here it is typically mid 30s C, this summer its been mid 20s C. Freezing point of water is 0 C and body temperature is 36 C, just to give you an idea. Humidity has been chokingly high this summer.

actually the summer's are really hot where I live.

The temperature you claimed it to be is about the same as a typical summer day where I am, and if I recall, florida was always much warmer every time I was in Disney in May.

maybe. I don't really remember the average temperatures where I live (I like looking at the temperatures, but I never remember them). Either way it's still hot and humid though.

I HATE make-up. Wore it only once, four years ago, just because I'd gotten some as a gift. I don't like the feel of it.

Lipshtick and AS topic

I went through one period in my life where I wanted to look at least somewhat "normal" and wore the makeup and I even had a sort of perm (yuck--I smelled like cat litter) It did not help. I think it was worse then than now. Makeup is an inside thing--self esteem, confidence, and these are the qualities I want to demonstrate and for which to be known. This is the ideal, not masks, lotions, potions, paints and powders.

But, if people are comfortable wearing this stuff and it makes them feel better, then far be it for me to tell them otherwise.

For me its a sensory issues, i cant stand the smell of the stuff. Also i fear not being able to take it off later. There is also the waste of time it appears to be for me, why waste putting slap on only to take it off at the end of the day? ive got enough boring routines to do teeth, showering, laundry without adding on lippy!

Generally, I feel like an "It", like I have no gender. I hate today's fashion because it's too tubular and there's no way I can fit in those stupid petit clothes. I never wear make up, but I keep vowing to myself that I will for an extremely special occasion (i.e, NOT dating because I have a feeling I'll never get a date). My clothes are all boring and ugly, plus my voice is too deep (but not man-like) to ever be that stupid nagging giggling and chatty teen voice that a lot of girls my age seem to have. So, in short, I'm an it in a she body.

I hate make up. It feel nasty.

I won't leave the house without it. I even put my makeup on and did my hair when I went to the hospital to give birth. Wouldn't want any bad pictures! I'm very perfectionist when it comes to how I look. I may not actually talk to anyone when I go out, but I at least want to look good.

I don't feel right without a little eyeliner, shadow and lip gloss. I like to dress fashionable but only if it's comfy. And those mofo tags have to be cut out!
