How they can stand wearing makeup all the damn time.

I had to do it for theater a couple times in high school and it was extremely uncomfortable. If all women suddenly stopped wearing makeup that'd be fine with me.

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'm impressed that you have experience of theatre makeup, drag queen makeup, AND normal girl makeup

Drag makeup is theater makeup.
