The Reason I’m Not Wearing Makeup


I have always worn makeup when going out.  At a minimum I would put on some foundation, blush, eye shadow, and mascara. Nor too heavy, just enough to even out skin tone and add a bit of color.  The idea was to look natural. Since I  work in an office looking presentable meant makeup. Especially since I never know when I would be meeting with clients. 

The morning  makeup up routine is no more. Giving up makeup is not because I am depressed and no longer care about my appearance. It is because it is so dang hot here in Texas. Well, maybe being in my 50’s is helping out too. It seems that every morning when I’m standing in front of the mirror that I breakout is beads of sweat. Do you know how hard it is to put on makeup as sweat is rolling down your face….well, let me tell you it is pretty dang hard. So until the weather gets a little cooler I’m just using moisturizer – no eyeshadow, no blush, and no mascara. Hallajuh!!! I’m glad I got that out….
