Do you go out naked?

The title got your attention, didn't it? Haha....

Ok, I meant going out with your face naked, with no makeup. I know there are some women who would rather die than go out without makeup, even just to the corner store.

Yours truly on the other hand, is the extreme. I never wear makeup, to anywhere. If you consider slapping on some lipstick makeup, then yes, I wear makeup. I go everywhere au naturale.

I think this stems from 2 reasons. One being I'm lazy. The second is I have very oily skin. When I was still in Malaysia, with the hot weather, my skin would get very oily and if I were to wear foundation, my face would feel very cakey and uncomfortable. So, I never wore makeup and got use to it. If I put on makeup, I would feel not myself.

When I moved here, I did not change. I would put on some makeup - loose powder, eye brow and lipstick for job interviews. In fact, I don't wear makeup to work. Who has the time when I have to get a toddler out the door every morning, unless I wake up at 5am. No, thank you. I don't even own an eye shadow set!

However, as I AGE....I think I'd better 'take care' of myself and makeup a bit if there's a special occassion. Afterall, everybody likes to look at a pretty woman and I better make sure hubby don't look at anybody else! LOL.....

I go out naked all of the time. Sometimes I go out worse thatn naked - unkept!

I blame it on the kid. And use the kid to cover my face.

Sigh be those days when relatives carry him away. Then I will have to brave the world scrowling at my unkept, naked face!

well, usually i will put on SPF and mascara on normal working days...add in eye shadow and lip gloss if i'm meeting a client.

after work, there will be NO make up then...

but everywhere i go, i make sure my eye brow is in "perfect" order hehehe...that's all!

i used to wear foundation but i've oily skin too and it makes my face cakey too...and prone to break-outs!

I have been slack with my appearance since becoming a SAHM. Only doll up for big occasions. If not I'm normally naked when I'm out or if I feel like it or going out with hubby, I will apply lipstick...
