Do you wear makeup and nail polish and such? Or do you prefer all "natural."

I wear makeup if I am going out or going to do something special. I almost always enjoy wearing polish on my nails. But when at home relaxing, I love to skip the makeup and just be "natural."Do you enjoy wearing makeup? Each day or just sometimes? Or do you prefer natural and never wear makeup?Karen

Hi Karen...I have never worn alot of make-up not because I don't like it but because I am allergic to it. If I wera foundation or powder all I do i itch. If I wear mascara my eyes water the whole time I have it on. So I have destind myself to a little eye shadow some lip gloss and I always wear nail polish (would feel naked without it..lol)and if Ii am going out sometimes I will put on a little blush jusy becasue I am so fair complected....Wouldn't want anyone to think I was a vampire or something. flutterby

LOL, I doubt anyone would mistake you for a vampire :D But I think your minimal look is probably very beautiful. I am allergic to many things, too, but have been fortunate to find some basics which do agree with me. Happy day! Karen

I had the lobster look. Once. It hurt! I've tried self-tanning sprays and creams but they never ever look natural and they stain clothes and white sheets, so I just get whatever sun I can being outdoors doing normal things :) Karen

Oh yeah...the lobster look in the summer is my favorite look...I can only be out in the sun for just a few minutes and I start to burn. I have never been able to use the tanning booths either. It would be great just one time to have a nice tan!! flutterby

well, makeup for me even when i was working was just face powder, eyeshadow, eyeliner and lipstick. now, when i just go to the mall it is just lipstick and powder. i wish i could go au natural but am not that gifted. as with nails, i have no choice but to do them on my own so that means i have short nails both on the hands and feet.

I find it much easier to type as much as I do with shorter nails or no longer than medium, and long toenails just look weird to me lol. I go very minimal when at home but love to wear make-up when going anywhere else. Thank you your take on it. Karen

I wear make up once in a while when I go out. I paint my nails pretty often whenever I go out because I feel it look skinda dumb when it has no color, maybe I'm too used to my painted nails... I feel ugly when it is not nicely painted :p

I like the look of nail polish, too, and have worn it since I was a teen. Thank you for adding to the discussion :) Karen

I wear makeup at times. But I use mineral makeup that is light on the face and doesn't feel like i am wearing a pound of makeup. And the same as you when I am at home I am all natural. I don't wear know makeup. I use nail polish a lot at times because my nails get long fast if I let them. I love wearing makeup sometimes but not all the time.

I have tried several of the mineral foundations. They really are very light and do cover most flaws. Yes, like you, I am a sometimes wearer of makeup, and a most of the time wearer of polish. Thank you for responding :) Karen

Hi, I like to keep it natural. Only eye liners are a must for me. Well i have never done make up as such. I don't know why maybe i don't have the patience to sit and do make up.

Enhancing the eyes is nice. After one wears makeup long enough, application becomes fast and easy. I like to do it when going out, but love the natural feel of wearing none when at home. Thank you for sharing your own preferences. Karen

I know that some places do require a woman to wear makeup. Like you, I love to paint my toenails, but also my fingernails. I appreciate your response! Karen

For the most part I do like to wear makeup. And yes I will apply it most days. However if I am not leaving the house to go anywhere important or just lunging around the house I won't even bother. However I do love to paint my nails all the time. I don't do it all the time but my toe nails are on top priorty since it is summer and sandal weather out. I will even make designs on them as well.

Like you, I pay special attention to my toenails in sandal weather. Tiny flowers painted on are pretty, and so is a french manicure. Karen

I like wearing makeup and I always wear it when I go to work. I also usually wear it when I go out shopping or running errands. Usually I wear foundation, blush, mascara and lipgloss at least -- though sometimes I just throw on some lipgloss. When I am just hanging around the house and relaxing, however, I don't put makeup on. Then I am just natural.

You use makeup as I do. I love wearing it when out or about or attending a special event. When home, I just go natural, and let my skin breath. Thank you for sharing your preferences :) Karen

I prefer to be natural. When i go with some occassion i just put mascara, lipstick and face powder. I dont really want to have make up sometimes it irritates my face and its becomes itching. Regarding nail polish yah i do that every month. Its always nice thing to have beautiful and clean toes and nails. So i do it regularly. But make up again makes my face itching so not too much for that.

I have to be careful with makeup and cleanser, since I have sensitive skin also. I use hypoallergenic, unscented products when I'm going out. And yes, clean and pretty nails are very attractive. :) Karen

I like make-up but I don't wear it everyday. Eye make-up would be my favorite because I love to play with colors. I only wear make-up when I need to. I'm not a huge fan of nail polish. I only wear one when I have to go to a wedding or an event. I usually just wear it on my toes - red polish for me.

It is fun to experiment with different looks for the eyes, and for me, also the lips. Red on my toenails, too, like you use. Thank you for responding, russo. :) Karen

I do not wear nail polishes, ever... I want it all natural, or maybe its just because I am very lazy to do such... I wear makeup sometimes, but just like makeup. Some blush-on and lip gloss will do.

When one has beautiful, healthy skin, the natural look is great! Blush and lip gloss add a touch of added beauty when going out :) Thank you for sharing your preferences. Karen
