re: If women didn't have makeup, how would it change things?

Honestly my favorite part about gel eyeliner is simply being able to apply it with a thin angles brush

Don't waste your money on the MAC or Sephora thin angled brushes the one from ELF is fine

Pretty sure MAC brushes are just repackaged ELF brushes with the MAC logo on it

With that being said my foundation/concealer/powder are all MAC.

It would even the playing field for women who know how to wear it vs those that don't. But still those who are naturally beautiful would still have more dating options.

Oh, actually if you were having what I like calling 'ugly' days, you'd just stay at home to avoid being seen with breakouts or splotchy, pale skin since you wouldn't have makeup to cover up the blemishes.

It's cute that you think I'm an alter.
Since 07.

Does anyone here use a beauty blender

I bought one at Sephora for $20 but don't really see the improvement from the typical buffing brush I use

Maybe I use it wrong. I make it damp before using

That's totally what I do. I switch between roller lash and they're real.

I know a group of Pentecostal women that don't wear makeup. They dress fancy otherwise, but every one of them have sunken eyes and ruddy skin.

I bet they stay indoors in-line with vampires though. And these women are Pentacostal so they aint trying to keep up with the Jones' or trying to get beach bodies for that big vacation or their daily cleavage selfies. They've given up on a life of appearances by traditional societal standards.

My theory on why there's a higher concentration of good looking women down south vs up north is that down here you don't have to put in work year-around to get a good sweat going. Moisture/Humidity is great for your skin and we have no shortage of it.

If we're thinking of all the superficial traits that make a hot woman (body, facial structure, skin, teeth), consider this: We're always #1 or #2 in obesity so statistically worse bodies. Facial structure comes down to genetics/ethnicity and I'd say this is a wash because though we have a high concentration French and Spanish in this area, there aren't any overt qualities or traits that supplant the qualities of other ethnicities IMO. Teeth is another wash as there's nothing ethnically or regionally definable. Example: Brits are known for having bad teeth. And then there's skin. Without sweating you're not excreting the amount of waste and bad toxins that is systemically normal (30% of our waste is and should be excreted through our skin). That and dry, flaky skin + less vitamin D because of less sunlight exposure = bad news bears for a healthy look.

I like their kabrow too.

I try to have pretty nails and feet but I spend too much time at the barn and in boots for that. Sigh.
