When I wear it, people tell me I look nice. They know I made the time to make the effort. If I wore make-up all the time, it would lessen the impact for the few times I do wear it. I like it to look natural, and it never ceases to make me laugh when I see lasses who trowel it on. If you can see a visible layer of solid cover over the skin, eyelashes clumped together, and thick coatings of liner, something isn't working. Dreadful!
However, I love dramatic colours around the eyes, and false lashes look stunning. It just has to be done correctly, blended well, on a natural, even base. If it wouldn't make me look like an idiot, I'd do that sometimes for parties.
As it is, natural shades suit me better, and just enhance my features (I'd rather hide, in all honesty). When I wear make-up, I use the colour and shade to make my eyes less googly, and bring their colour out (that changes depending on the colour of eyeshadow). My face is so round and fat that bringing out the shape of my eyes, and making them look less round, slims my face down a little.
So, I wear make-up to show I bothered, and to try to gently re-shape what Mother Nature was a bitch enough to give me.
