I love being a woman. I am a girly-girly and my three daughters are also. But I no longer have to wear make-up and be fabulous every day, in my early years of makeup and fashion, I would never be caught dead (or alive LOL) without makeup on and the latest brand name clothes on. I think back and I now realize that time period was actually be burdensome, feeling like I have to be all made up, all the time. Back then I felt like I wasn’t me, without all that. Thanks be to God for releasing me, now I look in the mirror and I’m not worried about what others may think, I have widen my view of the world and I now know that there is more to me than what’s on the outside. I have matured, Thank God. Not to say that I don’t wake up and say today is Glam day and make up and dress up. Date night I may put in little weave (being a cosmetologist) and the dramatic makeup (for a change from the more natural make up used for business trips). I love to discover new colors of eye shadow, blush, eye liners etc. Color is my thing but I personally don’t wear dramatic makeup, except on dates, or to beauty networking events.
Great topic ladies, I too have never been one to wear make-up. I grew up in a family of women who would pull out the make-up back on 'events' other than that it really was not a big issue. Especially for me, even today I don't own a lip stick, blush or eye liner. I will find a lipstick if my husband and I are going out (maybe). lol
My husband had never seen me with make-up until our wedding day, lol I had no choice in the matter but it was a special day so I did not complain. He was amazed, he throught he was getting married to someone else.
Great insight! Yes, we are all maturing in the areas of what is needed and when. I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum, I wanted to dress up and do the makeup, but my Mom is just a lipstick kinda gal and I've always been the same. Now that I'm in biz for myself, I do realize that it adds more polish when I attend events, network, speaking engagements, dating hubby, etc. I'm actually using a beauty/professional shopper to help me transistion from plain Jane into a little more jazzed up (but for above mentioned events only! :-)). It has to be quick, with two boys and a girl, and I must be able to incorporate my style into the changes/modifications. I'm still learning at 37 and I'm loving it! Glad to hear another sister is adjusting and keeping it moving with her beauty regimen.
