You either have good skin and so keep it as clean as possible other than moisturiser or you have crap skin in which case you should keep it clean other than moisturiser. However if 'you' only feel able to go out in public in full slap then who am I to say it's wrong.

Crap skin with foundation trowelled on looks appalling to me, it seems to draw attention to the spots/scars/etc. I used to work with a girl of 22 who got up really early to trowel the stuff on. She admitted she had never been seen by anyone without full slap since she was 14. If she's sleeping with a boyfriend, she would wait until he was asleep before cleaning her face but get up well before he did to put it on again so he'd wake up and see her 'perfect'. Even on the beach she have the full works. I think she needed (needs) help because that is not normal.

I have lost shit loads of weight and nothing fits me, which I think looks quite scruffy so I am getting some new clothes - suit stuff and thought a bit of make up as well.

I might go into the beauty section of Myers or somewhere and see what the girls recommend, I dont want to wear full make up, I hate it but I am sure I can get something that will make me look better and hopefully they may be able to teach me how to apply it as I have never been into make up.

I had my eyelashes and brows tinted once - that looked pretty good actually, so might be an option. It didnt last long in the summer but I was thinking of having a facial next week to brighten my skin up so perhaps I shall get that done as well.

Thanks Hebe, I shall check out that stuff.

Perhaps some emergency tinted moisturiser for the days my skin is shit
Something to cover the dark circles under my eyes.

I shall see what the experts say in the stores, but if you see someone looking like a panda in Perth, that will be me experimenting with my own make up.

Whenever the whole make up thing comes up, which isn't often, people are always telling me "ah, but you're young... you'll definitely want make up when you're older!" I don't really ever see that happening, but I won't rule it out. It's not a matter of vanity, like I think I look so good now it's more that I hate the feel of it. In fact I'm probably in the need of make up now but it just doesn't suit me. I'm more the tomboy sort.

I wonder if there is a concealer for my cellulite?

You need to change your makeup as you age. What looks good at 20 is not so good at 40 and horrendous at 60. I'd never dream of heavy eyeliner these days, or coloured mascara. (I was twenty in the 80's- new Romantic and Adam and the Ants looks.)

Not always black and white reasons as to why people get unhealthy.
