I never wear much makeup, either, but when I do wear it, it is simply
to make me feel I look good.  Ususally all I do is cover up any spots
I may happen to have with a tiny touch of flesh-coloured lipstick-like
thing -- I don't find spots on other people attractive, and don't much
like them on me either!   Sometimes I use a bit of eyeshadow (I wear glasses
so it's never very noticeable), and perhaps a bit of blusher if I'm
tireder and paler than usual -- but my main aim is to look natural.  I
don't like the effects of plastered-on paint, and none of my male friends
do either.  I feel the same way about makeup as I do about some clothes --
wearing pretty or interesting things makes me feel good.

On the lighter side,  I think it would be great if it were socially
acceptable for men to use makeup if they felt like it -- I'd just love
to see some of my male friends with eyshadow and blusher :-)!
