Are you a "lipstick aspie"?

Post Reply New Topic

Never really wear make-up, hate the feel of it on my skin. Tried putting it on myself a few times but the results were disasterous.
The only time I wear it is if I'm going out with girlfriends and one of them wants to do my hair and make-up. I think I look better without it but one friend seems to really enjoy doing it for me. I know it makes her a bit sad if I don't let her, so I just let her get on with it and TBH although I hate the way it feels on my skin, I do like going out and feeling like a normal person occasionally.

I'm very insecure when it comes to my appearance, so I don't go anywhere without eyeliner and foundation.

I'm 23 and I don't wear makeup.

i always wear makeup mostly to look like I fit in. but I NEVER wear lipstick! I cannot stand the smell or the feel of it on my lips. Chapstick is completely different to me though. Yay chapstick.

By makeup do you mean foundation? I can't stand the way that feels but I'm lucky to have an even skin tone so I don't really need it. I wear eye makeup to varying degrees and lip gloss which never lasts because my major constant stim is rubbing my lips together. It looks stupid but I do it without thinking. I'm doing it now.

I rub my lips together CONSTANTLY, as such I am always reapplying my lip gloss or chap stick every 20 min.

I'm glad I'm not the only one walking around looking lipless.

i love make up!! !
however i dont always wear it. about half the time i go out without a spot of it on.
1. because i'm lazy
2. because i dont want to forget how i really look. XD

I hardly ever wear make-up.... I like buying it but I forget to put it on. I don't really believe people see the difference either. Same with jewelry. I guess i just don't have a 'put on make-up, rings, necklace, earrings modus in my morning ritual.

I do only buy and wear nice clothes though, mosly black. I never forget to put on clothes so I'm totally ok

I sell makeup for a living, but sometimes I can leave my house without makeup on (I just end up coming home from work with loads on). The least I'll do is put on a tinted lip balm.

I am a freak about skincare, though. Three masks a week.

I'm an aspie, but i love fashion, perfume, doing my hair, etc. i only wear make-up on special occasions, though. but i guess, in essence i am a Lipstick Aspie. i like playing video games, is that masculine?

Heck, no! Video games are amazing <3

Is that a stim? Holy cow, I found another one. I do that ALL THE TIME and people ALWAYS notice and feel the need to comment. I thought it was just me, but looking objectively at it, I guess I would count it as one of my stims, too.

I picked the second option for the poll. I'm thirty and never really had any interest to learn how to put on makeup. That thrilled my mom to no end because she had no desire to teach me, either. I bought a Kevin Aucoin book a few years back and tried to mimic the pictures in it when applying makeup, but it never looked good and I always felt either like a hooker or like I was going trick-or-treating or both. I have never understood fashion when it comes to my clothes, but I can appreciate tasteful fashion spreads in women's magazines. I wear the same five outfits to work week in and week out. People comment on that, too, insinuating that I make enough money to broaden my wardrobe. Phooey. If they want me to wear something else, they can go shopping for me. I abhor clothes shopping.

i do that too. no one's ever commented, however. :S

I'm a chapstick aspie! Really, I wear it all the time. I do have some sparkly chapstick that I wear if I want to be sparkly that day, but it's mostly to make my lips feel good. The last time I wore makeup, I was twelve and in a ballet recital. My older brother put it on for me, too.
