l want to know general view about the above question. l ever asked my friends, some said still need to make-up like usual before go shopping. But, some said no need since they already married. As for myself, l didn't make-up, but do apply a light lipstick to prevent lip crack. Because, my hubby prefer natural look. How your view?

In my opinion, yes, even moms should look their best all the time. I've already experienced that part when i ignored having makeup, and my reasoning was, i didn't have to wear makeup coz im already married. But after a while everything changed specially when i met my husband's friends and relatives and saw an old girlfriend added in my husband's friendster, i felt somewhat insecure. At that moment i realized that i should look good all the time. Although there is still the trust that your partner would not betray you, but wouldn't it be nice that you will always be complimented by your husband because of how you take care of your self and your family. After all, it feels very rewarding to know that your hubby is so proud of you and boasts you as his wife. wohoo!

No I have gone pass that period of painted dolls. I however never miss putting lipstick to freshen up the face a bit otherwise I will look more like a walking corpse without lipstick. I feel more confident going out with a little makeover on the lips.

l do have the same choice like you. When l was a working lady, l do spend a lot on make-up materials, just want to look my best during working time. Now, lm a homemaker, l just invest in compact powder and lipstick. Only on occasion, l still use eye liner and eye shade. l always want to look at my best.

I don't wear alot of makeup anyways. But if I went to one of my kids functions without makeup, I would feel horrible! I don't feel all put together with out my makeup. Actually, as I get older I see to be wearing more makeup than I did when I was younger.

i never really was a make up wearing person before I got married. I wore little eye make up but nothing much more than that. I do still put that on when I am just running to the store or wal mart, but don't go much further than that unless we are having a night out alone, then I take the time to spruce myself up.

Of course I am not the type of wife who never appears natural, i only wear makeup when we have to go out for shopping or malling or going to relatives. And my hubby still makes me feel beautiful even without my makeup on, or even if look my worst. Wearing makeup is something that i choose to do not only for my husband but also as a reward for my self, because somehow it builds self confidence. But of course if you're beautiful enough, you don't have to wear them after all.

I don't think being married is any reason to stop making you look your best, I think maybe it should be more reason, one should never stop looking good as med are very visual orientated, and there is always going to to be attractive women that they will be looking at, being married in no excuse...

I never were make-up and never have - if not going to a party or wedding or things like that.
I too prefers to look natural, even if I think it's nice to were make up once in a while I wouldn't add that to my daily routine.
I don't think you should have to put make up on to go out to the mailbox as some seems like they have to. I've heard of women that never appered without make up infront of their husbands - how wierd is that?
