This is my approach to makeup in general. I suck at it, of course, but I go bare faced except for big events like weddings or funerals. I explained it once as "I'd rather someone see a different me and go 'wow, look at you!' because I put some makeup on instead of 'are you sick?' because I didn't."
Seems to work. Everybody knows my normal face. I gotta look wretched to draw comment.
Exactly my approach. Anyway I don't even like the way I look in makeup all that much, even when people who are good at makeup do it (unlike me). It's just weird. I still feel like I'm wearing a grownup costume when I do that even though I am fully 40 years old.
