Makeup

Yeah. More practical solutions can be devised for one's self. For me, I have an idea of what clothes are going to look good for a given day, and I have them lined up conveniently in rotation -- no thinking, just go with it and VOILA. If I want a little room for spontaneity, I have various colored ties, and I'll just grab one at random, they're all quite loud so they all work in tandem. My pants are variations on a theme for that same reason.

Was it Edison who had a large closet with many identical sets of suits (too bland for me but I see where he was going with that)? Or another genius? Maybe it's more than one of those great scientists!

I think it was Batman.

But back on topic- I think make-up is good if it is worn for fun, but when I see people with their face covered in make-up trying to be all serious I can't help but laugh.

I like face-painting though, and I sometimes face-paint kids at church functions or friends parties. Creative make-up is FUN!

I think that was Einstein, at least according to this post: http://wrongplanet.net/modules.php?name ... t=einstein

I think it was Einstein.

I wear mascara to keep from looking like an albino rabbit. For some reason my eyelids are always pink.
But foundation always feels like it's sliding off my face and lipstick just plain feels gross and usually smells that way as well.

Einstein, eh? That dude was a genius

Guess I've seen that quote attributed to one too many scientists lately.

Thx.

Elegance = (Material x Choice) squared
(it's all coming together for me now!)

ah make-up...the great mystery! i've currently got dyed eyelashes (which i got my mum to do!) because I wanted to look pretty and look awake! and mascara is generally too confusing. i dont mind it though. i hate foundation type things or lipgloss unless im really havin a bad day and feel the need the cover up reality!!
I like perfume- dont wear it often though- but I don't see the point of spending £50 on it...bodyspray is cheaper ..
I think make-up can look nice when its used to enhance what is there rather than cover up and make people look like clowns!! one of my friends does hers beautifully.

Sprays and colognes and stuff overload me big time. My bf is big on his body sprays and as soon as I get used to one, he gets another.! !! It's okay, though, because I can smell "him" through the sprays. He smells good without them and I think I look good without makeup! How can I explain to others that I'm better off without makeup?

I wear makeup to enhance my looks/appearance and no more than that! Wear makeup because you want to, not because someone else thinks you should wear some. I don't wear makeup at home, nor when I go shopping in the grocery store. Just to church and other special places and events. I don't even wear makeup to work, cause I work the late night shift, so no one sees me anyway. And yes I am aspergers too, by the way.

Dressing up is important, and depends on the function. Always wear clean neat clothes. Even work clothes that may be splattered with plaster or paint, make sure they're clean and smell clean at the start of the day at least.

Makeup, well, it's all about accentuating the positive. My wife is a theatre major, and one thing they work on is makeup. While theatre makeup is made to be seen from the seats, and provide contrast under bright stage lights ( so it is quite gaudy up close ), she knows how to apply normal makeup quite well.

She is a beautiful woman, and her smile would melt the ice in the Grinch's heart. But with makeup, I don't know, her skin glows, and she's as radiant.

some girls are better without any makeup.
i get annoyed when some girls say "no i cant see you now i have no makeup on!" it wouldnt matter its not the shade of your eyelids i like its what inside of you that counts.

Sweet, tell that to a girl... "Awww!"

...hmmm....make up. Where to begin? Well, I wear it....not the usual style of course. I wear my make up and hair punky/goth style. I think it is really fun to see how some people react to out of the ordinary things...like seeing a 13-year-old girl walk down the street with some black lipstick, spiked hair, and a goth friend or two....but lately people have just begun to get nasty when talking to me about why I wear my hair like that, or why I wear black eyeshadow... It gets really depressing as I see the way I get ready in the morning my reason for getting out of bed. It's like a morning art to me, and I sometimes get upset when people badmouth it and start saying things like "Devil-Worshipper" or, the classic, "Freak" "Slut" or "prostitute"... and my parents wonder why I don't like people? Many are very close-minded...

I wear make up. I started wearing it about 16. My mother started wearing make up when she was younger than that. I don't wear tons of make up (or at least it isn't very noticeable). I enjoy pretty things and pretty colors, and make up just seems to be a part of that. Also, I have very sensitive, fair skin, so I get blotches sometimes. So a bit of make up makes my skin tone look a bit more even at times like that. I like clothes for similar reasons. It has (almost) nothing to do with any desire to attract people. I will admit I care a bit about what people think about my appearance, and have had body image issues in the past, bu I mainly like doing it for myself. I wear make up and dress in cute (by my definition) clothes even just around the house when I'm not going to be seeing anyone just because I enjoy it.

I used to have my own special dress style. Apparently no one else really 'got it', but they knew it was definitely me. I created pantaloons of the spanish armada style (but completely different of course) and always wore heaps of layers of vests and jackets with my doc martins and purple-asymetrical-self-cut hair year round. I made my own utility belt, so I could carry the necessities of life around with me - scissors, pencils, pastels, measuring tape, tabasco sauce, note pad (I hate bags). I didn't fit any particular mold - no one mistook me for a hippy, a punk, a mod, a goth, a trendy, a free thinking radical or a bohemian etc. I kind of got used to being stared at, and dismissed it as being simple minded ignorance, but in recent years (last couple) I've been convinced that the attention is not really worth it. Infact a lot of time has been spent by others in explaining to me what the point of looking like everyone else is.... I'm not entirely happy with this state of affairs, but logic has overcome instinct, and I certainly don't get the harassment I used to...
