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... Marie Carey ...seismo!carey
