Being the best you can be.

Well absolutely yes but it depends on the situation wether I need to use my necktie, my leather shoes, or simply to say in corporate attire. The most important thing is that you must be looking clean and that's it!!!

Hi MsTickle, I do not wear skin makeup at all, never have and have wonderful skin so feel no need to, so a natural look there really but will makup eyes and lips. I wear uniform to work so am always presentable, tend to dress quite casually most days but will dressup to the nines for special occasions. I do know people that won't leave the house without their face on so to speak but my life is too busy to makeup daily. I don't spend a lot of money on cosmetics but I do on skincare both for my face and body but as these items last so long think is is worth it. I use the Olay regenerist micro demrabrasion for my face and then there moisturisers or Dove for my body. Huggles. Ellie :D

no no I bathe no nope I try to look a bit better for special occasions, but that doesn't include WORK! I mostly don't bother - that work for you?

Hi MsTickle! I do not always dress like a winner or buy the most expensive cosmetics! I only dress well when I am going out! I buy decent cosmetics that I feel are the best that suit me! I love Covergirl, Max Factor, some Revlon and sometimes I buy cheaper brands depending on what they have! I am allergic to Mabelline so they are out! I sometimes will not wear any makeup or get dressed up or do my hair except to put it up in a clip when I know that I am not going to leave the house! I have certain clothes that are for "housewear only"! And if I accidently get company then I freak out! I usually wear tank tops, short shorts, and not much else in the Summertime so whoever comes over gets to see the "real me" and it isn't always a pretty picture, but that's too bad!

You know what, I came here a while back to respond to this discussion, and then I saw the plagiarist that was copying other people's responses, and I went and reported the person and much of his or her activity (yes, I am one of THOSE myLotters that do report people). It seems that while I was doing that, I forgot to leave a response on your discussion. So, to answer your discussion ... sometimes. I do not think that I need to wear make-up just to look good. Alright, that sounds conceited, but that is not what I mean. I just do not feel the need to put on a ton of make-up every day to try to look good, especially when we are going to be having fun swimming or hiking or playing sports or whatever. There are other times, though, when I will put on make-up, because it does help to accentuate our "good features" while camouflaging our imperfections. The clothes I wear are mostly for comfort and because I like them. I usually do like clothes if they look good on me, but sometimes I just like the funny sayings on T-shirts, even though they might not be all that flattering to wear. I hardly ever "dress up" in the stereo-typical clothes that women are known for, but I do have a few dresses or skirts that are cool in the summer, so I don't mind wearing them, especially to more formal social events.

...Hey there MsT, I think if you are a professional and out in the daily work force, you owe it to yourself to be the best you can be. Including the best that you can look, after all you are going out basically in competition with all the others who are in that same arena. Everybody is trying to get ahead, determined to make as much money as possible and go as far as they can go professionally. So in your effort if you spend a bit more on the things that it takes to get you there, then your goal is on the way to being accomplished. When I was in the working world as an examiner, people used to come upstairs where I was working each day at one location, just to see what I was wearing, flattering to say the least. So I feel that you should put forth the effort to be the best and dress the best that you can. It's somewhat like a contest of sorts. May the best of the lot win "o). In another respect it lifts your spirits when you dress up for yourself. Also when you look good you feel good. Finally, when you want to chill out, there's nothing wrong with a pair of raggedy jeans. Over and out. Take care.

No No No and No lol I dress th way I want to if I thin k I look good thats good enough for me I no longer spend money on make up havent for years as in this heat here and teh humidity in southern states it would just run so stopped years ago

Sid Daily Routine I do my best to look decent every single day whether I am going to work or whether I have the day off. I don't feel that looking good means having a cache of expensive creams and makeups. I get up each morning and after my coffee, I shower and brush and floss. Personal hygene is very important. Not all the make-up or expensive colognes is going to be able to combat the offensive body odor or breath of a person that does not take the time to cleanse. I do take time to do my hair. It only takes a few minutes and makes all the difference. I dress for comfort. If I'm not comfortable it doesn't matter if I look good or not....I'm not going to be much fun to be around. My clothes are clean, in style, age appropriate, body appropriate. I do wear make up but I am not a slave to it and neither is my wallet.

hi MsTickle long time no see. You know I like to look my best for myself as I am shy and always have to boost my self esteem. I keep my hair clean and shiny, wear a little eye shadow and some lipstick every day. I wear clean pretty tops and a skirt daily and it makes me feel good just to know I am looking my best even if its just in front of the residents here in Gold crest. I can be laid back, this is California but not lazy sloppy as I am a snior citizen and need to look good.We get enough of a bad rap from younger people who have medieval ideas on how older people are and look, and they are not really nice ideas either.

Occasionally I wear makeup....

im afraid these days i rarely dress up or even care. most times all that sees me is my son. i used to dress up a lot when hubby was with me or when i had a male friend seeing me. except when i went to work and then i cleaned houses and became a general caregiver, so really no need. so what about you mstickle? what do you do?

For me I always make sure that I enjoy how I dress and I am comfortable with it. If you aren't then most likely you won't be able to look your best and you won't end up looking good. I used to look my best for people to notice back then when I was younger. Then when time flies, I then realized that I should look my best for me and for no one else. So I dress comfortably to be able to reflect how I enjoy the outfits I wear.

I am like that. I don't go out the house without anything on my face. I spend just enough for my cosmetics and other stuffs for beautification.I have morning and evening beauty routine. It is very important for me to look good always even if there are problems, I make it a point that I will still look good and okay. I don't have to show to anyone that I'm not okay. Because I believe your looks will somehow reflect your state of emotions.No one will take care of yourself but you. So we need to invest a bit for ourselves and feel good about yourself. If I look good, I also feel good.

I'm working in a japanese company ,and our company asks us to wear formally and change suit everyday.But they pays us too low that we can't afford these formal wears.that's really a headache problem! In my daily life, i like to wear confortable clothes and never make up. I think it's not good for skin. I like to live without decoration. Natural and simple is my choice.

I just like to look decent every Day When I was working yes I had to wear a Suit and also I wore a bit more Make up Now I like my Comfort Clothes, Make up is natural looking Colours, Hair is tidy as it has always been lol I do not spend much on Make up as mine last me a while and I mainly just wear Eyeliner and some Mascara

I don't know myself. I don't know what I can do for everybody and myself. I think I'm a loser. I have graduated for 2 years. But now I can earn nothing. I feel I'm useless. What can I do now? I'm very tired and bored.

i work daily whit a lot of people so my answer is yes i do dress nice but not exagerated, i have a shower every morning so i can start a fresh day, i dont want to be the best i like the way i am, a normal i meen a little normal ther ar times when im a little crazy :D, but people like me how i am
