When I was younger (jr. high, high school) my two older sisters and mom tried to get me to use makeup, wear pantyhose, and get my hair permed. The main reason that I didn't want to do these things is that *it wasn't me*. Other important reasons was that due to my sebum type and *generous* oil production, even non-alergentic makeup interfered with pore action. Pantyhose made my legs itch, no matter what it was made of, and looked unatural. The perm smelled terrible, lasted about 24 hours dispite several sessions with the curlers & curling iron, and just wasn't suited for someone with baby-fine hair (read that NOOOOOO BODY!) But as I said, all these things are not me, and are uncomfortable. When I go to job interviews, I take care that my general and oral hygiene is taken care of, my hair is brushed to make it look 'full', and that my eyebrows are plucked neatly. That is who I am, and I'm not going to give them some false impression. We haven't heard much from the gals that *do* wear makeup. What do you say, ladies? kitten scgvaxd!pertec!kitten
