Hillsboro, OH(Zone 6a)

Oh Meems, don't know how I can pick. Have to have mascara because my eyelashes are so blonde, but hate to part with my lipstick too(the ones that don't rub off-can't stand greasy lips!). I'm just a plain old Revlon girl. :)

I'm just plain..........

Pittsburgh, PA(Zone 6a)

Cosmetics won't even help this face. "T" :)

A paper bag works for me on this end...........

Pittsburgh, PA(Zone 6a)

What are you talking about CoCo...I remember a photo posted by Seed of you and trust me..you didn't have a paper bag. Seems to me there was alot of hair. And it was very very dark... LOL

yes,but she caught me before I could get the bag you see.

Hillsboro, OH(Zone 6a)

You two just ain't right! LOL

Pittsburgh, PA(Zone 6a)

Hey,,,I resemble that remark.

(Zone 5a)

You ladies are just to much!
CoCo lol
Aimee I am with you I am just to lazy to brother with it.
Hey Sledder where is this pictue of CoCo? I have the same problem, there is no help for this puss of mine.

Bay City, MI(Zone 6a)

LOL thanks galz!=]

With this "wild hair" of mine and barefootin',just "Grizzly Adams" here,make up is a waste for me too,lol' Rather play in the dirt,not make up'

windsurffer,you don't have this picture of me. Look under CoCoSeeds threads and you will see the picture of me that she had posted sometime back. Everyone gives me a bad time about that picture and here I thought it was a good likness,except for my tiara; don't wear that much. Just had to dress up a bit to have picture done.
Go take a look and see what ya think.

Pittsburgh, PA(Zone 6a)

It's not the tiara..it's the tutu that does it.

Sledder,don't mess with my tutu. Hey, just had to show off my legs somehow,didn't I?
windsurffer,if I could do the hyperlink,I would bring up my picture for you,but I'm clueless with the bag on my head.

(Zone 5a)

Well my dear CoCo I am going to try and find it and will be talking about your tutu lol. Of course you know I will be talking about you behind your back, so turn around so you won't hear me lol.

(Zone 5a)

OK! Now this picture of CoCo is just a bit to much for me to stand...CoCo have you got your back turned, if not then turn around.
Now that she is not listening...how dare her have a better tan than I, and just who does she think she is having bigger legs than me. It's a sin and a shame that I have to put up with this lady looking better than I do with her little tutu on. I guess the little green eyed monster is rearing it's head lol.
Ok CoCo you can turn around now I am done talking about you. CoCoSeed really got me good on that one lol.

Pittsburgh, PA(Zone 6a)

See? I told you.

(Zone 5a)

I'll never doubt your word again Sledder you were so righ, Missy CoCo was just showing off.

Hillsboro, OH(Zone 6a)

I second what I said earlier, but think I may need to add a few more people! LOL My hubby laughs because I put on mascara and lipstick to go to the hardware store and just to mow the grass. gulp..........does that make me a priss? I do get dirty too, I just like lips and eyes while I do it. :)

Boy, do I have the lips and the eyes and the great legs in that picture.
windsurffer, my legs may be bigger but I bet yours where at least shaved. Mine weren't as you noticed.No time for me to shave. Had to pose for the picture. Just had to wear that tutu to show off those great lookin' legs.

(Zone 5a)

OH MY GOD!!!! There will be no living with the Beauty Queen now!!!! lol.

Oh by the way this is the thread that I was kidding her about http://davesgarden.com/showthread/171530.html

I'm a total slob! However, I will do the girly stuff if I'm going out in public. I would never be able to give up my lotion. My hands get so dry from washing them all the time. Lotion would definitely be at the top of my list.

Georgetown, TX(Zone 8a)

Whoa, Vic, lotion and skin cream are not makeup! Those are as necessary for the support of feminine life as breath itself. Also, emery boards to smooth these paper thin nails every few seconds when I get a snag or tear. Those things are maintenance tools. To me, makeup is color and provides disguise. As an old lady used to say "wearing all that powder and paint, to make you look like what you ain't." But in my salad days, I did wear the stuff. I was Miss National Westmore, thank you, and was required to wear fake eyelashes, nails and all manner of clown tricks. I was allergic to the adhesive that should have secured the nails, as well as the adhesive strip to fasten the eyelashes. So it was quite a job requirement for me. I would wear them to the meetings, or a bigwig breakfast, then rush to remove them as soon as I was out of their reach, lest I turn into a strawberry with clubbed fingertips. Once, the national manager walked right past me without a glimmer of recognition, because they made me look like someone else for sure and he had never seen me without them. I consider it a luxury not to have to wear makeup and pantyhose.

Meems; I apologize for getting off the subject here on your thread. Please forgive some of us wild ones here. Guess we got a bit carried away......sorry.
Blessings

Makeup? Hair? Cripes! no one told me I had to worry about these things. Being bought up with mainly men no one spent the time to teach me such things.

I don't need a mask, the hair on my head sees to it that people don't always realise I have a face. I also have milk white skin during Winter and Spring so any makeup is very noticable, particularly lipstick. Add that to pointed canine teeth and people I meet start wearing roll neck sweaters and talking to me during daylight hours only.

I do wear makeup on special occasions and spend the entire time rubbing the stuff off, by the end of the evening I'm back to being Baa greeting the world as I was made.



Kitchener, ON(Zone 5A)

I am ashammed.. I am a makeup user.. I've looked for a 12 step program but so far have had to rough it on my own. If I am leaving the house I do mascara. (Covergirl Professional the brand I started with when i was in highschool) and liner and blush sometimes lipstick which has to be Revlon ColorStay...
If I'm in a hurry and don't expect to see anyone I know I still have to have at least sunscreen and mascara. See,... I have a serious face paint problem.
It get even worse.... here's the biggest secret of all... I don't wash any of it off when I go to bed!!!!

Baa,same here,all male cousins growing up and cared less 'bout "girly"things like make up,nails,whatever' I've seen your pics and you're beautiful just the way you are and if you do wear makeup,it can only "enhance"your natural beauty'''

Aww Gwy,don't ever be ashamed'''If it makes ya feel good then do it' I carry a little kit in my purse and sometimes put it on riding in the truck,would look better not though,as it ends up looking just like that,lol' I must confess,I was, at one time of my life,waaay back,a top sales lady for Avon' I used the products and was very good at putting makeup on in less than 5 min.and it can be done too' There's many "shortcuts"and the results look like it took ya longer to get it all applied,lol' As for washing it off,guilty as charged too,lol' To each his or her own' Great thread Meems''' Sis'

Troy, VA(Zone 7a)

I used to love makeup but time is too precious now. So unless I go anywhere special it's just a quick slap on the foundation, lick of mascara and a dab of lipstick and as soon as I get home I wash it off immediately!!

Spicewood, TX(Zone 8b)

Carmex! LOL! Seriously, I used to never leave the house without makeup, but no more! The last time I wore makeup was April, 2001, when I had to go to court. I sometimes wish I had more time to "make myself more presentable." One vice I DO have is I NEVER leave the house without clean and brushed hair!

Aww Sis thanks :) I think everyone is beautiful anyway, I've never understood the need to cover up but I guess if that's what others want to do then thats great too.

Wingnut, clean hair I can do, tidy is another matter LOL

Seward, AK(Zone 3b)

Bag Balm...I use lots of Bag Balm. If it's good enough for cow's teets, it's good enough for my old face. Boy, am I an old heifer or what!

Seriously, as others have said before me, I used to wear makeup..being fair complected, it helped to define my face. Now that I'm older, I find that makeup looks harsh against wrinkles & sags in my face...eye liner becomes dark thunderbolts, mascara thumps against sagging eye lids. It all sounds much worse than it is, but wearing makeup makes me look like a hooker with a lousy retirement plan.

As I recall, I used to love those pallets (paint pallets, not cargo pallets!) of eye shadow...all those lovely colors and the soft brushes and applicators. Then one day, as I was applying it, I began to use all the colors to paint my entire face. It was great fun, and I looked like Bozo... guess that's when I gave up on makeup as a beauty aid!

Meems please forgive me I got a little carried away didn't mean to, CoCo is right I just wasn't thinking.
