I hope it isn't necessary for me to say this, but just in case:
What I posted above in no way implies any moral judgment about wearing or not wearing make-up (or anything else, for that matter). Being confident and easy in your skin isn't contingent on whether or not you doll yourself up. I began posting on this board because I saw a range of ways of presenting yourselves and a real acceptance of difference that really appealed to me.
I just worry about the specific ways images are manipulated to sell us things, and the gap between self-image and reality that can be the result of how this works in a consumer culture, not whether or not someone always wears lippy to the corner shop
