"Most of the time I don't wear makeup. When I do it's usually when I work promos or work as a bartender and looking attractive is part of the job. Generally, in my daily setting, people don't treat me differently, but most of the time if I wear makeup I'm in a very different situation where my appearance is supposed to be part of the experience and attract attention.

My husband and kids say I look funny when I wear makeup. My friends usually say I look nice. My lack of makeup is two-part; first that I'm lazy. I'm lucky if I wash my face daily. Second, I'm a hippie at heart and most cosmetics and personal care products have insane amounts of chemicals in them that pollute the water or worse. I do buy natural makeup for when I do wear it though."
