Do you care about makeup?

The real reason I started wearing makeup when I was younger was because I was tired of people saying I looked pale. In the 90s I had really bad emetophobia and anxiety, so nothing ruined my day faster then someone mentioning I looked pale and asking if I was okay. But I really don't care if I look anemic anymore, so the only I really wear makeup now is at Halloween.

What's the point of smearing all that oily, greasy, powdery gunk all over your face and then wiping it all off, anyway? And if it makes me less of a woman, that's what society thinks, not me. I still identify as female or cisgender or whatever.
 
I am obsessed with makeup and finishing my products. I am constantly planning what look to wear and which products to use.
 
Extracts of plants in the deadly nightshade family have been in use since at least the 4th century BC, when Mandragora (mandrake) was recommended by Theophrastus for treatment of wounds, gout, and sleeplessness, and as a love potion. In the first century BC, Cleopatra used Atropine-rich extracts from the Egyptian henbane plant (another nightshade) for the above-mentioned purpose of dilating the pupils of her eyes.[citation needed]

The use of deadly nightshades as a poison was known in ancient Rome, as attested by the rumour that the Roman empress Livia Drusilla used the juice of Atropa belladonna berries to murder her husband, the emperor Augustus.

Such a love and endearment potion xD
 
As a guy who doesn't wear make up I can only speak about what I find attractive.

I really like natural beauty and simplicity, a lot of make up is not attractive to me, a little bit of it I don't mind.

I think women in lots of makeup look like men in drag or transwomen.

Really, normal women don't wear that much makeup unless they're in a Broadway show or something, but men and transwomen need that much to make their features look more feminine.
