I'm curious i guess if anyone else has real trouble wearing makeup or clothes, or just peeves in general.
I'm a teen girl and I love my mascara, but it bothers me a lot as well, what with the mascara-hardness and all. some days i wear it all day, other days, I don't have any desire to wear any makeup. i can never wear heavy face powder. usually if i wear eyeliner, i'm going to wear eyeshadow with it too to correct the lines because of my bad precision.
I also can't stand t-shirts in my armpits or tight waistbands. And i have pretty lame motor skills, so no matter how hard i try i can't tie the backs of my own dresses (i love dresses)
i also bet this is the bazillionth time someone's posted about this.. >_<

| Same here. I never wear makeup, it's not comfortable to do so. Certain items of clothing very annoying, cannot wear a bra and I hate anything that is too tight and restrictive. Loose clothing all the way... |

| It takes a long time to get used to mascara. Eyeliner too. |

I have similar issues. As for mascara, I can't wear it everyday. I love to rub my eyes, and I hate the stiff feeling of mascara on my eyelashes. Maybelline's Full n' Soft isn't hard when it dries, and gives nice volume.
You don't need to wear face powder, blotting sheets work well to get rid of shine. A powder I like is Cover Girl Fresh Look (in the silver compact). It's very light. I can't apply eyeliner at all...I gave up on it. However I found I can use a very thin flat brush to apply any eyeshadow as an eyeliner. It gives a softer look and it's easier to blend away mistakes.
I can go months without applying any makeup at all.
I have issues with clothes. I can't have anything to tight around my arms. I can't wear 3/4 length sleeves, or socks that go around my ankles (they need to be super low cut). I can't wear jewelry like bracelets or rings, or necklaces, or earrings that dangle.
Tags are a big problem too. |

I own make-up and wear it sometimes. I think it kind of looks funny on me, though. I'll go through periods when I'll wear make-up every day for a week, then not again for several months or so. Same with jewelry, mostly earrings.

I wore that 'mineral' make up until one day I realized I was just putting colored DIRT on my face ( I mean. . . what is a mineral, anyway, but dirt?)
I wear sports bras to strap em down, but unless I put bandaids over my nipples, there they are! I got such a negative reception to not wear something to keep them from bouncing all over the place, I had to do something.

I notice women when they wear nice dresses, their shoes, hair and makeup. I have been noticing them more and more in recent years and appreciating their attention to their appearance even if some of the things they wear, like high heels, don't seem to have practical value.
Attention to appearance does not preclude also having capacity for intellectual stuff. But even if someone doesn't want to go into that, so what?
Do women like to wear makeup because they're subconsciously advertising something about their health and fitness, thereby improving their odds of social success? Many women look very nice even with plain clothing and no makeup. Healthy habits like physical activity, not smoking, moderate occasional sun exposure, and good nutrition can enhance one's natural coloration to look nice without having to apply any of the various smudgy and icky-tasting materials to the skin, the purpose of which is to replicate the natural effects of healthy living anyway.
Sometimes when people smoke their skin becomes pockmarked and turns yellowish or grey, to an extent that varies from person to person and also the severity of the smoking habit. To me, smoking damages a woman's attractiveness in a way that clothing and makeup can't cover. I don't like the smell, and the chronic pneumonia (I know a woman who smokes and has this!) may be a danger to me. It also gives me a negative impression about what might be going on inside her mind. It simply won't do to paint on a shell and be rotten underneath.
When I go out to a restaurant, I sit in the nonsmoking section, and at the end of the night sometimes I can still smell residue on my clothes from the smokers, and I need to change and shower. That's how sensitive I am to it. A person who smokes stinks about as bad as farting or BO. It's like the person is enveloped in a perpetual fart cloud that he or she can't outrun, except that it smells like cigarette smoke instead of farts, although I'm not sure which would be worse.

| It may be because a man's figure and "masculine clothing" when tight doesn't restrict the male wearer, but I far prefer tighter than baggier clothing. Find it harder to play musical instruments and indeed move around in baggier things. I also rate a fashion sense. |

I don't feel comfortable wearing makeup for emotional reasons, so I get out of that one, but I do feel uncomfortable wearing sunscreen, which I do have to do. Better than a burn.
As for clothes, I make my own, using the same patterns over and over again, so I can get a comfortable fit (and comfortable fabric). It's better than being vulnerable to fashion trends. Plus I get a better fit (once I figured out how to adjust patterns). I do love clothes.
There are a bunch of threads in the women's forum if you want to read up lots on this. |

I watch "What Not To Wear" and see me slouching around, clutching the very clothing that makes me catch my breath with dismay when I catch a glance at me in a shop window.
I do remember when I get to a clothing store, make a bee line for exactly what want and get the hell out of there as quickly as possible.

Actually I find that if I'm going out to a new dance club, a little light eye liner and/or mascara really helps bring out my eyes.
I'm a dude, BTW.
