i can't stand make-up-- is this an aspie thing?

Who makes tinted moisturizer?

I don't know if it's just an AS trait or not. I'm NT and hate wearing make-up. It feels like wearing a mask, and I hate the sensation of presenting a false face to the world. I simply am what I am. My 16yo is the same way, and she's NT, as well.

I think it may be a family trait for us. None of the women on my mother's side of the family wear make-up. We're all very conservative in dress, jewelry, and the like. I think it's nurture on our part, not nature.

I wear a little bit of make up just blush and lip gloss. Sometimes mascara and a highlighter in the inside conner of my eyes. I hate foundation it feels like a mask.

My skin is hypersensitive to nearly everything so makeup is a no-go unless for a special event.

Even then someone has to do it for me because, well, it always feels overdone when i do it myself.

It's funny, but I've often told people I was sure my aversion to make up was an aspie thing!! ! haha.. even my girls have tried to get me to try stuff... I will wear some of the basics if I must.. you know, weddings, etc.. but I hate eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow.. even lip gloss.. weird..

well i can't stand wearing makeup i am the only girl in my house that does not like wearing makeup and i am the only one with AS in my family so i guess it is an AS trait. but i don't care i have a boyfriend with AS and ADHD just like i do and he likes because of my personality not my looks and also i don't like the feel of makeup it just feels weird on my face

I can't STAND makeup! I've had friends who put shovel fulls of the crap on their faces just to go to the shop on the corner.
I've never had a problem with spots or anything like that because I refuse to wear it. The only time I wear it is if I'm going to a wedding or for a meal somewhere posh, and then its just minimal, a bit of eyeliner and mascara.
I think it is sad when people think that women who don't wear makeup don't care about their apperance.
My appearance is fine without a mask of horrid gunk.

A lot of brands make it, but I like Almay.

I love makeup but I only wear it when going out.

I don't usually wear makeup, maybe on the rare ocassion that I go out. But that is really rare. I don't wear it to work or on the weekend. I can't be bothered!

I don't mind wearing it, but don't wear it everyday. I love trying out new looks/combos with eye shadow. Spring is one season I don't wear any as Im a hayfever sufferer, I'll only ruin the job I spent ages getting right.

I don't wear makeup.
I attempted wearing lipstick because it seemed easiest to try, and I would get it on my teeth. So, I was paranoid of having it on my teeth and I just wasn't comfortable.

I used to attempt to wear make up but I always ended up with 'panda eyes' because my eyes are obviously too sensitive to the chemicals. People can be beautiful without 'enhancements' anyway so embrace your naked beauty!

I only use a minimal amount of make up if I go out to a social event. But otherwise, I couldn't care less. Besides I don't have the time.

what is make up?

Take a look at the Oil of Olay line. They have tinted face creams.

I don't put on makeup often. I have to feel like I want to dress up to bother with it. I have seen girl put on makeup to go do barn chores. Well she is older now with a couple of kids so I doubt she has the time now
