Secret #13

2008.01.21

The average woman spends $16,514.50 on make-up in a lifetime.

This is the extent of my make-up collection. A tube of chap stick. Lifetime cost? Probably around $50.

I've worn make-up fives times in my life--prom, formal, another formal, friend's wedding (had to, I was in it!), and my own wedding (for obvious reasons). I've never had an interest in it or have even bought any. Thankfully, I had others around to apply my make-up. I wouldn't even know where to begin to put some on!

japarker Love the pic - and the info!. I usually wear a bit of make-up but not a lot (hopefully not $16 000 worth - imagine all the fun things that I could do with that money)

mowestlan Thank you for the info. I figure I've already spent the much on make-up. While I enjoy the whole notion of "putting my best face forward," it's really more about the creams and lotions to defy gravity...or at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Nice shot.

lexlevans that's great! i didn't wear make-up until i went to college - but i still don't think i wear a lot. so in opinion, more power to you.

oh, and i'm obsessed with chapstick. i would never wear lipstick.

aknor Fun factoid!!! I don't wear make-up, either, and although it might improve my looks I'm happy to know how much money I have saved!! I'm addicted to chap stick, too, and lose my tubes of it often enough that I bet I'll spend more than $50 over my lifetime. Favorite lip balm - Lip Ivo!!

SheriJ I don't wear much and a helper in my wedding said I should just because I looked so pale it would help with the photos. Other than that I don't wear much. Awesome if you don't have to wear any!!

crazbecky Luckily you have such beatiful skin you don't need to.

vollenda I love this secret. You are beautiful and definitely don't need makeup. I don't wear it often either. It's such a bother and I don't feel like myself. I can't keep chapstick, I keep losing it!

bamommy Great post! I started wearing makeup when I went to high school. A little powder a little eyeliner but that's about it. Have a great week.

tbranscum I do wear make up but not so much that you can't see my ugly mug. I do wear foundation to cover the face, so I don't scare people to death! lol

abbeyh13 ditto!!

Peachy I am hopelessly addicted to Chapstick. I probably spend $50 on it a year. Great picture.

bauche You are stunning without any!!

athenabutterfly youre lucky you dont need it. i didnt start wearing makeup until i started waiting tables. it just seems i just got better tips when i had makeup on. since then, i guess it became habit.

super jealous of you!

Karibbean lol!!!!! thaks for the info, but I love lipsticks!!!!!!!!!!

dayafterday NO kidding! I am one of those woman I guess I have been wearing make up since High school....I could have a nice car with what I spent on make up! LOL

LeahMarie25 You definitely don't need to wear any make-up, you're gorgeous as is! In the past, I had a lemon-flavored chapstick/lipgloss obsession. I had a whole container full of them.

mjsonline I'm liking the shallow depth of field.

jamiemmiller You are so lucky because you don't need it!
jamiemmiller · 2008-01-24: 15:38
Lindyart great that you have such great skin and looks you don't need it .. I wear some eyeline and sometimes lipgloss.. my husband says I don't need it .. but sometimes I f eel I do .. chapstick rocks :)!!!

ambersunsets Well, I do wear makeup, but I've got several sunspots to cover from too much "fun in the sun" during younger days. I can go nowhere without chapstick. My students make fun of me for keeping it in my pocket and using it several times during the day. Gotta have it!
