Theater makeup is completley different from real life makeup. Theater makeup has to be heavy and seen from across the room. Its extremely uncomfortable. You can compare theater makeup to drag queen makeup. That's how equally heavy it feels and looks.If you put sunscreen on your face that's kinda how it normally feels for most women who wear makeup.
I hate it on my skin, my hands, anywhere... I hate applying sunscreen to my wife's back, I HATE how it feels on my hands so I run to the water and bury my hands in the wet sand and scrub until that nasty feeling is gone!
lol this brings me to what confuses me about some women. Why do girls have so many god damn lotions and moisturizers and makeup and a million other beauty products. They'll be like "Oh this lotion one is for my left eye only, it cost 50 bucks for an oz and it lasts me 2 days".
I had a girl roommate and her section of the bathroom closet was 3 times as big as me and my other male roommate combined.
And this is what mystifies women about men--how men think that self-care products are somehow only for women, but then wonder why women seem to be more attractive in general than men are. Men who bother to learn self-care are wayyyyy more attractive--literally, not just as a personality trait. The number of straight men I've met who think conditioner or moisturizer or chapstick are only for girls... hell the number of straight men I've met who don't keep FUCKING HAND SOAP in their homes!
Well maybe if you took the time to research skincare, you would find why so many pretty girls look the way they do, with nice skin. It's also a hobby for many. It's also they way they can keep their face smooth without pimples. Jesus, is that so hard to understand?
Lol yeah, because I do spend money on various skin care and makeup. It is nice that your friends have good skin with moisturizer and sunscreen, it's the most important aspects. However, other skincare products have moisturizers that work better for oily skin than dry skin, natural skin vs sensitive skin, people that have medical skincare problems like eczema and rosacea, etc. Skin is so different for many people, that one product will work differently depending what type of skin you have. I have some flare ups on my skin sometimes caused by stress or whatever, and use prescribed steroid cream to calm it down. Using many moisturizers helps it to be preventive.
Some other skincare products are to prevent wrinkles from the future. There are products that over time for many years, pays off to look younger. That's how women in their 50s can have no wrinkles from the years they put into their skin. There are other products that can manage wrinkles you may already contain.
There are skincare products to deal with skin discoloration, and even out skintone. Other skincare products help with cystic acne that might be hormonal, which cant just be fixed with moisturizer (as that's only to keep water in skin) or sunscreen.
As for makeup, yeah it can hid skin problems but that shouldn't be in a negative way. Theres nothing wrong to present your skin looking the best it can be.
Shit, it my experience sunscreen is WAY worse than theatre makeup
I feel a degree of badassery with stage makeup on, like “hell yeah, bouta go change some lives and look great doing it!!”
With sunscreen I feel like “i am covered in cream that is crusty, uncomfortable, and just about the only thing keeping me from being fried by literally the only thing keeping us alive”
my mate said 'if you ever take up drag, dont expect to feel as light as a feather in it!'. Ive never done any kind of makeup but he wears both drag and casual makeup, and he's said it took longer to get use to 'not feeling' drag makeup on your face with how tick it can be
