I grew up in a culture where it was frowned upon to wear too much makeup. As a result, I've always been conscientious of what make up I wore and never over doing it. 20 years ago, my only make up was lip gloss or lipstick (and a smile). Lately, I've graduated to eyeliner to make my eyes pop and mascara to help accentuate my lashes that I've noticed have lost volume over the years. I only apply lipstick or lip gloss for special occasions. It's almost like I've consciously rebuked the idea of needing make up by applying it where I feel it is necessary, but only half-assing it, you know? Like, I need you here on my eyes but that's it - no where else! :)
