Make-Up

PROMPT July 6th

Women: What is your makeup routine? Men: Tell us about your daily routine to prepare for the day.

The shortest answer is that I don't have a daily make-up routine. Growing up, I was always more reluctant than my friends to try it out, so I just never got into the habit of using it.

However, I did get awfully curious about the stuff some years ago, so I started trying to learn about it. After buying some product and playing around in front of the mirror for some time, I've become confident enough to put on a little bit of make-up for special occasions. I always tone it down when I know that other people will see, though. I guess I'm still not very confident with the stuff.

On an everyday basis, though, not being in the habit of putting it on every morning probably is a blessing. I'll rather have the extra minutes of sleep.
