Well guys let me just try and explain how the makeup thing works


As a little girl I was always "borrowing" my Mums "slap", you've most probably seen it yourself, you know the little girl clopping around in her mums high heels and what can only be described as a face ressembling something out of a horror film .................... well that's how I was and I suspect most other girls have been

As a teenager, you suddenly disscover that " hey wearing makeup makes the guys notice you more" and trust me when I say that making a guy turn his head is a great self confidence boost
Also at that age it just becomes a totally natural thing to do. Now I was about 16 years old when it was the Punk era, so that meant lots and lots of very thick eyeliner, kinda a "gothy" effect I suppose.

Anyway you then get married and have kids, you hardly ever bother putting makeup on, simply because you haven't got the time or the inclination too
After a while the kids grow up and the hubby becomes the ex and you go out to work. So it becomes a daily ritual to "put you're face on" before going out the door.
As you get older you find yourself trying more and more different brands and products in a kinda attempt to keep that look that used to be so easy to achieve when younger.


Therefore if you like it is a "social conditioning", it is something you have to do to be accepted if you like, it's expected of you. Plus the cosmetic companies really do make a lot of money out of it, so they are constantly advertising all the latest products they want you to buy.
I have no idea how much I spend on "slap" each year but it must be quite a few hundred pounds ????

So who do we do it for ?, why do we go to such trouble and exspense ? ......................... I suppose ourselves to a fair degree, it's still nice even at my age when you can still make that guy turn his head, so I suppose it's still that little bit of a confidence booster
Although it is really lovely when you have a day were you just don't have to bother
