You must be gilded to be adored

I used to be like that but not any more - in fact I haven't worn make up since my niece's wedding a year ago! My 6yr old 'borrowed' all my make up and ruined it! She now has more makeup than I have owned in my entire life and looks after it very well and I was left with none although I have started buying some every time I go shopping and almost have a whole 'face' together now! lol I do try to look presentable but wearing make up is not a priorty anymore! xxx

I have learned in NYC not to go out unless you are dressed up. I have ended up on TV twice and have been very thankful I was dressed, pressed, and ready to go. From those two times I have learned if I am headed out get dressed up. Ainge

To be honest, for me, it all depends on my mood and where I am going. If it is some where that I really don't want to go, but know that it is important that I do go, I will throw on anything and get it over with. If I am in a good mood and want to go out and have fun, then I take special care with the way that I present myself. I am not much of a make-up wearer, but I do like to look nice.

I think women that WASTE a lot of time with make up are wasting their time. I think they are gilding the lily. If a woman is beautiful why put make up on? If a woman isn't, WHY bother?

I love the phrase "smart clothing". :) When I go out I have to be dressed up and fully made up. I can't go out in sweatpants unless it to the grocery store or some other errand. If I'm going out for dinner or a bar, I dress up and wear full make up. I feel more confident and ready to face the world. I like to be complimented on my outfits or the way I look. It a good massage for the ego that can sometimes need a boost. I just all around feel better about myself- made up and dressed up!

It all depends on where I am going and what mood I am. Yesterday I ran out to meet with my female realtor to look at a house. I could just as easily left in the sweats and T shirt I was wearing but I changed into a nice shirt one of my nicer pairs of jeans did my hair and my makeup. Today I have to finish grocery shopping and the people in the store should consider themselves lucky that I found the energy to brush my teeth and change out of my pajamas. But when I am going out, to a party, social event, etc. I make it a point to look my best. Hair, makeup, clothes, it all has to be perfect before I will ever leave the house. I'm not a "girlie girl" but I can dress the part really well. I'm including a picture of the last time I got dressed up. I am holding my adopted evil giggle pie so you can't see the whole dress but can get a good idea.

Well, I hardly go anywhere worth dressing up for so it does make a change when I can. I must admit though that I don't "do" dressy or anything. I'll add a sparkly top to a pair of jeans instead of my skull and crossbones jumper! If it's really a special occassion, I will make the effort to wear something nice but as for make-up. The way I see that is, if you like the way I look then you like the way "I" look, not the way I look in make-up. For me personally, I think I look good enough without having to be "gilded" and if other people don't like that then it's their fault. I don't understand why some people dress up to go shopping and I certainly will never know how someone can look absolutely perfect with kids in tow! But basically, yes, I do think it's important to look respectable but there is no need to make a special effort all the time and there should be no reason for a girl to feel she has to wear make-up to look good.

It really depends on where I am going and whether I can be bothered to dress up or not. My dressing up is mostly jeans (dressy or casual), a nice shirt or top with comfy flat shoes and on occasion I might wear dress boots. I don't wear makeup other than lipstick or lipgloss. The only time I tend to wear sports gears is when I'm off to the gym or going for a walk.

I don't get all dressed up and put make up on just to go out and get shopping done. Now if I have a good job or an interview or am going for a night out with friends then yep I dress to the 9's LOL!! but around the house and just grabbing groceries or going to walmart. I don't bother to get dolled up.

During the week I'm either in uniform for work or casual to and from the school, but if I go out I like to dress up and do wear a little make-up, but make-up is something I have never worn much of even as a teenager so people just have to accept me for me eh! Ellie :D

When I am going out with someone I do try to look my best with my best skirt andblouse and some make up to accent my best features. I do not get to go out too often so try to make it a special time for allof us.I always manage to wear some make up and some good cologne and a favorite lipstick too.
