I love to juxtapose in fashion and beauty! One of the cutest looks is Drew Barrymore in 50 first dates. She wears cute "cazh" clothes with lipstick and awesome eyeliner!

Yup. Some would say I probably go over the top. Others like how I look. I don't feel comfortable leaving the house without being made up.

I don't wear make up, as it irritates my face, and I find that it doesn't do much except waste my time. Even in job interviews and other situations that normally call for make up, I refuse to wear it, hoping my smart clothing choices (I'm a very picky dresser) compensate for lack of make up. I dress in my own unique way, it's comfortable, but I think it expresses my personality nicely.
Does anyone else here have the problem of well-meaning female (or male) friends, relatives and acquaintances attempting to "introduce" you to make up, and being at a loss to explain to them that you have no interest in such things? I'm finding that to be an annoyance as of late.

I always need at least a bit of concealer when leaving the house. Lately I've been wearing less makeup though, trying to look more natural, and I like it better. Apart from that, I appear very feminine, but I think in a more masculine way.

Could not have said it better myself. I spend more on make-up than I do on just about anything else, and my clothing (much of it vintage couture) fills up several closets. But aside from that? TOTAL freakin tomboy. It actually confuses people.

Okay, there's one difference between us. I'm actually more comfortable in heels, but I've always assumed it's because I naturally walk on my toes anyway.

I am straight, married, yadda yadda yadda - but I do feel as if I have a guy's left brain and a girl's right brain.

What's your preference?

I think that we are very similar, actually. I have a male brain, I'm very logical and I have a lot of characteristics that are traditionally associated to men: I'm also quite determined and outspoken. But on the other hand, I like to look like a real woman, I like to be fashionable, and I also enjoy "feminine" activities like cooking. Maybe I only want to compensate for my non-feminine brain :)

I'm a raging tomboy and rarely wear makeup. I do love clothes though. I'm really vain about my looks, but on the other hand, I have to keep it low maintenance. I don't like fussy clothes or heels.

I can't put on eyeliner for the life of me. I lack a steady hand and the patience, and I always have trouble getting the makeup symmetrical. Same with mascara.
Fellatio lubricant? No. It wears off too quickly, even the long lasting 12 hour ones end up wearing off and looking even worse than traditional lippy after a few hours. I prefer clear lip gloss.

I don't wear makeup everyday, but I also rarely leave the house. I do have a big box of makeup and another box of costume (ie, cheap) makeup for Halloween and birthday parties. When I'm with people I like, I tend to wear makeup that matches my outfit, like orangy pink lipgloss and orange eyeshadow. I like it and everyone says I look nice so I must be pulling it off okay. I never wear blush or bronzer, though. I rather like being the fairest of them all. I also own a lot of clothes and I love Seventeen magazine. It's pretty funny that I only buy two magazines, Seventeen and Popular Science. According to the reality TV show, true beauty is on the inside and out.

I Wear make up lipstick and get my nails done, and hair done ( when I can afford it). But I think very much like a man.

EVen My male gay friends tease that I am like a gay man or transgender male in a womans body, even though I am straight and female and have no desire to be otherwise lol.

I have to say that I STRONGLY prefer women who wear makeup all the time than those who hardly ever wear it. I like women to be girly on the outside at the very least.

I'm girly on the outside and tomboy on the inside. My girly appearance isn't really like your traditional girlishness though. I have blue hair and dress kinda punky/gothy. My tomboyish mentality is basically this: I like games, science, football, and am also attracted to girls (though the girls I am usually attracted to are like me- girly on the outside and tomboyish on the inside).

I like to dress at least reasonably fashionable when I go out but I can never remember to wear any make-up. :lol: I'll probably start wearing make-up regularly eventually. :twisted:

My morning routine consists of me waking up, getting breakfast, teeth brushing and throwing on of some clothes. Fashion and makeup are of no interest to me at all; my closet is just loose jeans, sweatpants and hoodies/plain t-shirts. Seriously, plain- I honestly can't stand t-shirts that even have writing on them. It just feels so wrong wearing them, heheh. :lol: What I wear outside is just as comfortable as my pyjamas, and I'll go around in sandals as much as I please. As for make-up - what makeup? I haven't got any makeup. :roll: Seriously, I'd just laugh at myself if I ever tried so much as to apply mascara; I'd naturally fail and end up looking like a proper clown. I guess makeup and fashion just don't appeal to me right now; perhaps when I'm older, but right now I keep the fuss to a minimum.
