* I am posting this article for Marie Carey (seismo!carey).



I have never thought about the pros and cons of wearing makeup,
I have just always done it, mostly out of necessity. I do not
have flawless, perfect skin like these women who complain about
other women wearing makeup just *must* have. It angers me when
these "perfect skinned" women get up in arms about other women 
wearing makeup. What's it to you who wears makeup and what their
reasons may be? Like who are you to judge WHY people wear makeup?
I personally *feel* ugly as sin without it because my skin has been
plagued with acne and has resulted in scarring and I feel a definite
necessity to help my image of myself by trying to look the best I
possibly can. Looking the best I can means wearing makeup to hide
marks and I have never thought anything more about it than that.
I don't think about WHY *other* women wear makeup, I really have
better things to do with my time. Just wanted to let the "perfect
skinned" people out there know that there are some people in the 
world not quite as fortunate as yourself. If I had perfect skin, 
I would not feel a *need* to wear makeup. I have very pretty
features, just not very good skin. And since, in my opinion, your
skin is your whole face, having good features does my self image
no good. Enough said...
