It makes me look older, which counters some of the effect of the short hair making me look younger; 2. It's easy to put on; 3. It doesn't need to be retouched during the day. If 2 or 3 were not true, I wouldn't bother. I think I dress fairly nicely for work, although comfort and convenience win out if they conflict with looking nice (especially in winter). I think there are far too many women who spend a lot of time on make-up and clothes to the point that if it doesn't take them 1-1/2 hours to get ready in the morning (and 10-15 mins. several times during the day to stay fresh looking) they feel uneasy. I think I started really disliking makeup when I noticed that a friend of mine forgot to wear her blue eyeshadow one day and everyone, including me, thought she looked sick. I remember thinking that she never looked so terrible before we got used to seeing her with the make-up. There's also a very pretty girl that I'm rehearsing with now, and last week she started wearing makeup. I could see it was well done, but it really spoiled her appearance because all you noticed was that she had make-up on. I'm sure in about a month or two if she walked in without it everyone would would think she looked sick. I do wear more make-up sometimes when I'm going out on the town. Somehow it makes me feel more festive if I get into a costume that's very different from my everyday thing. Anita
