Surviving the Domestic Jungle

When I say makeup I don’t mean making up with someone, I mean the stuff us ladies slather on our faces everyday in an attempt to look delicious. Well, I for one wear very little makeup and always wonder if I should wear more. For those who do it right, they look great and for those who don’t do it that great yet think they do, they look just plain weird to me. Over the top makeup is just the worst in my opinion. You look a little alien ish. I understand we all want to look pretty and feel pretty but does makeup do that much? I am asked all the time if I am 10 years younger than I actually am. This is a little odd to me considering the wrinkles that have permanetly moved in. I have always heard my whole life I look younger than I am but I don’t wear very much makeup. Could the two be connected. Maybe I have one of those “faces” and maybe it will be a blessing in my old age but for now its a pain in the butt. I don’t want to look like a teenager with pimples. I want to look like the mother that I am and also beautiful. I am not sure if piling on the rouge will help me look better. I don’t know what the key to looking  your age is but I am obviously not at the age where I want to look younger yet so I guess that’s a plus. I also live in a very very humid climate and if I wore a ton of makeup in would be at my boobs within minutes. I guess to each their own but I am jealous of the women who wear flawless makeup and amused by the women who look like an 80′s throw back. I guess I linger somewhere in between like most ladies just doing the best we can not to look scary everyday!!
