It doesn't bother me that my guy doesn't get it. I'm not doing it for him!

Slide 3 talks about covering up freckles and beauty marks which I do not get. I think there is nothing more sexy than freckles, they are totally unique from one person to another and the ultimate expression of individuality, much more interesting than any tattoo I have ever seen (which everybody has the star tattoo).

You know what, we don't do it for you guys, we do it for ourselves! We do it because we want to feel great and look great. We want to feel feminine, pretty, and confident. All you men saying you love us all natural and plain... what a bunch of crock! How did you end up with us in the first place? DUH! Maybe you can do some changing yourselves guys by stop being so judgmental. Hmmm.... if you love your mate for who they were when you met them, they probably still are the same woman. You're the ones who has the problem. Either that, or your woman needs to find a better guy who will like her for who she is.

My husband likes that I take care of myself. If you walk around in sweats all day, never doing hair & make up - you make look great at age 20, or in a certain light, or when your well rested but most women could use a little natural make up when they go out. Whenever they have makeover shows of women who do nothing for themselves for years, they usually look a little perkier and happier after the makeover.
