I don't get it, I see a lot of ladies (not just the young marrieds) wearing way too much makeup. Racoon eyes from too much eye liner and plasticky skin from too much foundation. It is just gross looking. I don't get why people do this! If you're in your thirties and forties you should not be wearing thick makeup and super trendy sheitels in unnatural shades. I mean, even in your twenties you shouldn't, but it is especially weird looking on women who are a bit older! Clown

Many women neglect themselves, or would do it if they didn't have a job (ever seen what many working women look like on the week end?? even at shul??).
Many women fight this tendancy by doing too much, because they don't have the bestest taste in make up and fashion. They don't realize how they look. They don't see the frontier between "we see nothing so I'm losing my time" and "this is too much".

Also an occasional faux-pas can happen to anyone, including a professional. Maybe you saw the person on this bad day. Or the eye liner leaked.

Not every woman can apply makeup correctly and many do it in terrible lighting which makes it harder to apply makeup naturally. Also some women have very bad and broken out skin and they think that a heavier layer of foundation will cover it more effectively. Some women, I've learnt don't even realize how much makeup they wear since they are so used to smearing so much on. I've had women come to me to buy a face of makeup and ask me to do them over naturally and when I do, they say that's not natural! I add more colors and heavier makeup and all of a sudden they feel like themselves. shock

lol, I know what u mean lady godiva...
my motto is "less is more". when ppl. have pimples, and want me to really cover it up, I make sure it looks nice and natural, but I always tell them the more you cake it up, the worse it looks..
