There's a difference between letting go, ageing gracefully and in denial. Sexiest to me is women outside the first blush of youth who aren't going for heaps of artificial means, but do take care of themselves without surgery (exercise etc.). Boob jobs I wouldn't throw in with Botox etc. Normal aging, pregnancy etc can all wreak havoc there and ladies can't build shape / size there in the gym unlike everything else. Any change is of course always their choice, but I don't think you can lump it in with other surgeries as artificially fighting the aging process. And it's largely the same opinion for blokes. I've accepted my hair isn't coming back on my head and now have what's left shaved off every week, rather then try to combover or god forbid get a rip/toupee. I hit the gym every week to age gracefully from the neck down though. I'm not letting a surgeon near me for reasons of vanity though. - Posted from rhpmobile

According to archeologists in South Africa have been using makeup for 164,000 years.I recently had a discussion I with my housemate about this topic,his ex is a makeup artist and won't leave the house without the full on màuillage. The big question is not what we do but why do we do it.Personally I think there are many and various reasons,fashion,peer pressure,etc and just because it feels good are some. It really is all about individual choice and while in the eyes of some there will be judgment it really is none of their damn business :) Q

less is more when it comes to make up, i have no problem going make up free. Hubby tells me that I look better without it. My beauty regime is minimal, mainly just some foundation and eye liner. No procedures for me, I can't bring myself to that In terms of cellulite, it is just nature and i dont let it bother me.. I am not a big fan of fake breasts, but they do look nice, its just they don't feel the same, and hubby agrees. He often comments about how much make up some people wear. I hope I am not misrepresenting him here, but I know he prefers natural to "fake". His words - I love real women women! that's just our opinion..

wears very little to no make up, and none of her friends overdo it. If young people are wearing a lot of it, i don't think it'sa new phenomenon. And I think you can probably relax and not worry about it. They'll work themselves out.

... the history of makeup! I thought the Egyptians were the first though, because they had some sorta kohl to line their eyes with and they were really heavy-handed with their eyeliners! It isn't judgement where I'm coming from - it's a tinge of sadness that some females can't love themselves the way they are and need to resort to the obsessive attainment of physical beauty to boost their self-love. Maybe it is media and all the hype that's fuelling this? Hopefully, someone famous starts a trend advocating the natural look again. ☺

but its none of my business how little or much make up people use, and while it may affect my first impression of someone, ultimately its character and personality that determines whether someone is attractive to me.

I don't like to go out without mascara and blusher, that's my minimum, except gym or somewhere like that. It makes me feel better. As a younger girl I loved makeup and wore heaps and tried everything, when I look back at photos I look terrible but it's part of growing up, I learnt less is more and I think most young women do. Most makeup these days will not harm, back till only a few years ago yes there were some nasties but most are ok these days..... (look for natural not tested on animal products) please. Surgery has never been on my radar. I'm happy to make the best of what I've got and age gracefully. But I never say never. - Posted from rhpmobile

Yes I agree. I go the gym every day after work . My motivation is to get fit again (weight loss is secondary motivation). As soon I get to the gym I rip off my makeup before working out but I too have noticed the lovely, young, beautiful ladies, working out with full makeup on (so bad for the skin) and spending many precious minutes post workout reapplying. I appreciate they may be going out post gym but the amount of time spent reapplying makeup and hair fiddling stuns me. I will often work out for 45 and when I come back in the change room they are still styling their hair. The age of Instagram has a lot to answer for Last week, the Priceline shop near me had a 40 percent off all brands makeup sale. Yes I did go over and buy a few new lippies but Jesus it was like Armageddon in there, those left standing holding their half priced Nude for Nature won . There is no hell on earth like women at a 40 percent sale off all cosmetics. Interestingly again to note, it was predominantly young women buying And I have a long time gf who to this day, I have never ever ever seen her without full makeup, yep even when I've stopped over for a night, she will emerge from her bedroom, makeup fully applied. It fascinates me cause she's so gorgeous she sure as shit doesn't need it like I do but she tells me no onw will ever see her without makeup ever. I wear makeup to work each day. I am very pale skin but with dark features but I also wear a light coloured uniform so I guess I wear makeup so I don't like to blend into the grey paint on the wall at work. I always remove it as soon I get out of work and never wear it at the weekend unless I am going out at night. I remember many years ago reading a article about exactly how bad makeup really is for your skin, so I go all natural as much as I can and I wear only minimal when I do. In answer to your questions yes I'm comfortable going out of the house without makeup, I do this as much as I can to give my skin a break. I only apply sunscreen but yes I've been "caught out" and have at times desperately wished I was made up when I've run into you know, that spesh guy ( and why did I decide to wear trackies to nick to Kmart ?) . Why do chicks think like this ? Preprogrammed ? Minimal application. BB Cream - a crème blessing from the gods, blusher, mascara (always the mascara) and lippy, eye liner maybe at night I'll be honest and say if money was no object I would embrace a few (ok a lot) of cosmetic procedures. Am I vain ? maybe but its more about having had some things taken from me when I was ill, that I would like to have back and feel normal again. Treatment made me lose my eyebrows and eyelashes. I've had my eyes brows micro bladed and I was so happy when I had this done. Not having eyebrows made me look alien and was soul destroying so having a face framing feature reapplied by a very talent and understanding artist really helped with my confidence. Initially I used to have eyelash extensions but found they ruined my already very fragile lashes which I'm pleased to say have grown back a bit. Now I use a really great mascara. No matter how I look or how I view myself, I'm always trying to work on my inner beauty, trying to get it right. A work in progress

when it comes to make up. Mostly cos i've never learnt to "artfully" apply it to look sexy but natural. And I never want to look like those women that seemed to have used a trowel to apply it, so I'm a less is best kinda girl!I wear a tinted spf moisturing face cream with a dab of face powder over top to take a way the 'shine' and that's it on a daily basis. Going out I'll use eyeliner and mascara, but that's about it.As to aging gracefully and cosmetic surgery or enhancements...I will be getting breast implants and augmentation eventually (would have done it last year except for career change and starting the holiday/sick day accrual all over again).I do exercise every day, but I didn't prior to 6yrs ago. Age and extreme weight loss has meant the loss of my boobs...and I want what i've never had...nice and perky ones!

I wear makeup to work but it's light take me 10 minutes to apply. A BB cream light powder and mascara. My main pic at the moment is sans makeup. Its rare I don't have at least a bb cream on as my skin damage is pretty bad from years of sun exposure when tanning with oil was all the rage. I use vitamin e cream everyday as a moisturizer and think I look ok for my age. I've never been one to spend hours doing my makeup it just doesn't interest me that much. I do have my nails done and my feet every two weeks. My hair is all my own though and took a while to grow back and so is my untanned skin color although occasionally I will apply a self tanner for certain dresses. I think people should do what makes them happy. There is only one thing I would surgically change about my body and that's the turkey neck unfortunately it runs in my family and no amount of exercise will ever touch it. But then again I have skin that scars badly so I'm not sure I would go for surgery. I have teenage daughters and they don't wear makeup at all. The youngest can apply it like a pro but doesn't wear any and the eldest just isnt interested. Maybe it will come later when they start going out to clubs. My advice to my young people has always been and will always be to use makeup as a way to highlight aspects of your face not totally change it

Ladies, : - Would you be comfortable stepping out of the house with no makeup on? Absolutely, do it often. I love the contrast I can create with make up when people are used to seeing my bare face, it makes the effect of wearing makeup more dramatic, which to my mind, adds to its value. - What is the minimal amount of makeup you've used? None! But no, the most minimal look I'll wear is mascara, BB cream and gloss or a light stain. What is your "normal" makeup regime? (Work) Primer, foundation, brows, mascara, lip stain. (Dressing up) Add concealer, eyeliner, eyeshadow, blush, more dramatic lips. What are your feelings about all the cosmetic procedures available now? eg. fake tans, eyelash extensions, hair extensions, laser treatments, botox, lip fillers, etc etc: Dislike them in general, just adding to the unrealistic expectations of beauty that too many women obsess over and hate themselves for. I've worn fake tans and eyelashes for very special events like being a bridesmaid and I agree that they do make people look amazing, but for the everyday? No way. Would you ever consider surgical procedures, eg. breast implants, breast lifts, liposuction, facelift, etc: Nope, there's a grace and a beauty of it's own kind in being able to allow yourself permission to age naturally. I watched my beautiful mum obsess and get surgeries and not be able to leave the house without makeup so much so that she had a lot of it tattood on her face. Didn't alleviate her self-hatred or lack of self-worth any, she remained miserable, it just gave her some painful recoveries and big bills.

And men, - What do you think and feel about women who have had breast implants? Preference is for naturally shaped breasts (regardless of shape, size etc) but each to their own ..... - Does cellulite repulse you and if you see cellulite on a date's thighs, would that be a game-changer? Again a natural feature for me and def not something I would ever judge a woman on.....in all honestly, we are who we are and if you are happy within your own skin who gives a f...... I love the naturalness of everything in a woman..... - Would a tummy or other jiggly bits make you desire a woman less? Tummy, jiggly bits, ass....we all have our own shapes, sizes, packages (me included) and again, the more natural the better (e.g. who you are as an individual - with or without makeup, all body shapes and sizes, how comfortable you are within your own skin and the confidence to rock whatever that is etc)..... I honestly see beauty in all things womanly.... someone who presents well, smells nice, dresses appropriately for whatever the occasion e.g. public, fun, bed etc - Do you prefer a natural look? Or a glam queen dressed to the nine's look, complete with dramatic false eyelashes, mucho hair extensions and hairspray, fake nails, etc? When I first started dating Mrs Poly, what attracted me the most about her was I got to see the natural beauty in her first so I knew what was underneath the layers of makeup (both inner and outer) etc.....she has such a natural beauty....that regardless of whenever she does glam it up, adding another perspective, enhancing her tones, I still know whats lives beneath the exterior..... natural beauty

I'm a minimalist, on most women some is nice, too much is garish, especially on younger women who have gorgeous natural skin anyway, a few highlights and accentuations however looks great.Big fake nails are a no, would you like to be fingered by a scalpel ?Few women wear outlandish makeup well but when it's good it's really good. Fake tits - no, totally weird.Cellulite- a little is natural, acres of it is off-putting. Same with tummy. I find tuck shop arms really off putting.And to add, I use a bit of eye liner myself, I have black, green, brown and purple, it does make the eyes pop a bit but the best bit is seeing peoples faces trying to work out if this guy in front of them is wearing guy liner. Funny as fuck !

I've been wearing make up since around age 14. And I do it for the simple fact that I look better with it on, than without. I've never had a 'peaches & cream' complexion, and never will. Make up evens out my skin tone, and makes me feel good about myself. I wear it for me, and nobody else. As for young girls wearing eyelash extensions, and getting fake tans etc., well, that's just because it's what's in these days... in my day it was padded bras, false eyelashes and lying in the sun for hours to get a 'real' tan. Live and let, I say. My own make routine is pretty simple... BB cream, blush, lip stain and mascara (which I'm only wearing because there's no one in town who does eyelash extensions). Most people are surprised when I tell them I'm wearing makeup, which tells me I'm doing it right lol Would I consider plastic surgery? Sure, if there was something that really bothered me about my body and I had the money to spend. I had a friend who had a classic 'witch's nose'... hooked, with a wart on it. She had rhinoplasty done when she in her 30's. The change in her was transformative... not just from a looks point of view, but with regard to her self confidence as well. So I say go for it, but I also acknowledge that sometimes self worth issues won't be solved just by getting surgery if there are deeper things at play.

she uses a pencil around her eyes, a little mascara, I like the lipstick, especially the ring it leaves around the base of my cock :), but she also draws with a pencil the outline of her lips, that makes me go weak at the knees, but when I see her toe nails painted, I just want to fuck her. She is the mother of our three beautiful kids, she is the girl I fell in love with twenty five years ago and nothing has changed about how I see her now, all I see is the woman I love, I feel her lust and passion and I am a happy man. I think that's what most women would want, to look pretty, feel sexy and treated for all they are that mother nature intends. The rest is girls stuff and how they see each other and the pressure is on!! The girls are having the labia surgically 'neatened', (rules guys out) got to be a girl thing Fake boobs for the look when wearing something, (rules guys out) girl thing. Cellulite, like the tides, it comes and goes and burns off with sexercise. Then there is an underlying current, by the guise of fashion. Concern, by the principal of communal spirit, ' takes a village to raise a child' opposed to the 'each to their own' societal disaster.... why are these young women wearing masks, what are they hiding from facing and are they all alone living in a state of trauma, suppressing emotions ?

I had a discussion with two Dermatologists and one GP. There are articles floating around on the internet too. If the lippies have SPF protection, then they would provide a level of sun ptotection. It's when the products have lead that there's trouble. I've also read journals questioning the potential danger of having nano minerals in makeup. No one knows as yet if these nano-sized minerals will do any harm to us, especially since they are miniscule and can be easily absorbed into the bloodstream. I'm a bit concerned because I love my mineral powder. 😛

Genetics plays a part in our fat distribution. When I lost weight and my tummy didn't decrease one bit, I had a chat with two acquaintances who are Plastic Surgeons and was told that my tummy is characteristic of middle-aged females of my ethnicity. Bleah! If I won Tattslotto, I'm going for Liposuction! :P

Quoting 'PurePeony' I had a discussion with two Dermatologists and one GP. There are articles floating around on the internet too. If the lippies have SPF protection, then they would provide a level of sun ptotection. It's when the products have lead that there's trouble. are articles floating around the internet that claim all sorts of outlandish rubbish, you need to be able to be critical of what you read and hear. The 'lead in lipstick is going to kill you!' story is another one of those internet stories that had very little basis in truth. Lead occurs naturally in some of the pigments used in lipstick. The levels aren't high enough to pose a risk to human health (assuming you are buying authorised cosmetics from authorised sellers and not some counterfeit shite from who knows where). With the way cosmetics are tested and regulated these days you are very, very, very unlikely to suffer any serious health effects from them, unless you have an allergy or sensitivity to certain ingredients, or you like to eat tubes of lipstick. I don't wear much makeup normally, a bit of concealer and face powder, maybe some BB cream or light foundation, blusher, and mascara. At night I'll wear a heavier foundation, eye makeup and lip colour as well. As for what others wear, it's their choice. Some women use makeup as another form of personal expression, just like clothes or tattoos, I wouldn't be assuming that every woman that wears a lot of makeup is doing it because they are insecure or want to look younger. Also, women can look more 'natural' but still be wearing a tonne of makeup, it's just in more skin coloured hues therefore not as evident. So it's all pretty relative.

... with reading articles written by M.D.'s available on the internet. Reputable health organisations have tons of articles available for reading too. Journal articles from science mags and medical institutions are also available online if one has paid access. It's unnecessary to insult someone the way you have, Meander. That comment you have made about Trump is totally unnecessary and very very rude. Some folks here always get their kicks from belittling others. Sheesh!

And dragon, about lead in lipsticks, here's something from the FDA to dispel your belief that it's all an urban legend : It has been wrongly perceived to be an urban legend until the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics released a report entitled, "A Poison Kiss" back in 2007 to the US FDA, exposing the levels of lead in lipsticks even in leading brands like L'Oreal, CoverGirl and Dior. As recent as 2009, the FDA released a study that showed four times the level of lead as in 2007 in lipsticks they tested. The highest levels were found in brands like CoverGirl, Body Shop, L'Oreal, Maybelline, and Revlon. In 2010, the FDA tested 400 lipsticks that were found to have levels of lead even higher than the levels in 2007. From the stats given, it looks like the amount of lead in lipsticks has doubled since. Lead is just one of nine toxic heavy metals found in lipsticks. And, medical experts cannot agree on a "safe level for lead exposure". Rather, they believe that being a neurotoxin, it is toxic even at small doses and any level of lead exposure is deemed "unhealthy". The cosmetics industry and the FDA insist that the dose of lead exposure per lipstick application is so low that it is harmless. BUT, the cumulative exposure is what matters. In fact, a University of California study found that women typically apply lipstick 2-14 times per day. That works up to a significant amount of lead exposure especially since much of it ends up ingested. Here's the thing - the cosmetics industry is smart enough to not include lead in their ingredients labels. I'll boomerang it back to you ladies and state that you have to stop being gullible and believe things that are not backed by solid research by reputable scientific or medical institutions. It is not news that major corporations in large industries can and do resort to tactics to try and pull the wool over our eyes because their major interest is often profits. Hopefully I'll get to meet my friends who are chemical scientists soon and maybe I can get more information about makeup ingredients. Maybe I could pester them to access professional journal articles. PS. My cnp function isn't working today so I had to paraphrase most of the facts I used here. I'm a bit lazy tonight because I'm winding down for bedtime and an early start tomorrow at the crack of dawn. :( So... this post used the site, Campaign for Safe Cosmetics in the USA, endorsed by 175 organisations in the health and wellness sector. Sheesh... what next? Do I have to make academic references so that certain peeps here would stop inferring that others are dumb / flaky? I'll take up the challenge if I have to and when I have a workweek that is not crazy-busy and when I haven't expended all my energy getting fucked good. Right up my alley! he recent science indicates there is no safe level of lead exposure. Lead is a neurotoxin and can be dangerous at small doses. Medical experts are clear that any level of lead exposure is unhealthy. - See more at: http://www.safecosmetics.org/get-the-facts/regulations/us-laws/lead-in-lipstick/#sthash.aqPYoPAg.dpuf

"It isn't judgement where I'm coming from - it's a tinge of sadness that some females can't love themselves the way they are and need to resort to the obsessive attainment of physical beauty to boost their self-love." This is judgemental PP. declaring yourself to be saddened by it, and ascribing feelings and motivations to people you don't know and have no special insight into is judgemental. Your motivations may well be sincere, but there are many reasons why people wear makeup, and one of the most common is most likely just a primal human compulsion to decorate ourselves. We do it with clothes and jewellery and tattoos, why not makeup?

Meander, please share the facts you have about the components in lippies without SPF protection that provide actual sun protection. Always happy to get facts from experts or people who are able to get facts from specialists and medical professionals in the field. From what I do know, and a quick search at skincancer.org, "It's important to keep in mind that cosmetics should not be used as the sunscreen component of your comprehensive sun protection regimen when you are going to be out in the sun for a long time." And there's more... "Complete your routine with your usual makeup, and don't forget the lips. Lips have almost no melanin (the color is derived from tiny blood vessels beneath the skin) and so it's up to you to protect them. If you don't regularly wear lipstick, get in the habit of using a colorless lip balm with an SPF of 15 or higher. If lipstick is part of your makeup regimen, avoid the super-shiny, high-gloss lipsticks with little pigmentation. These act like baby oil for the lips, directing damaging UV rays right to the area you're trying to protect. An opaque lipstick will provide better protection. Try to find one you like with an SPF rating of 15 or higher. If you're wedded to the wet look, apply the colored lipstick first, then top with a gloss for shine." I might have to dig a little deeper to find out if pigments in our lippies do indeed deflect UV rays at all but what I've learnt from seminars thus far has always always been to use SPF rated cosmetics.

You haven't proven anything to me. What you've quoted to me there isn't even from the FDA. You've quoted something from the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, which I can see from a quick google search is a group with a very obvious bias and not based on reputable research or science (the 'chemical free' propaganda alone is enough of a giveaway. Absolutely everything is made from chemicals, you included. When someone rants against 'chemicals' you know they don't have a good grasp on what they're talking about). And I'm sorry but this paragraph: I'll boomerang it back to you ladies and state that you have to stop being gullible and believe things that are not backed by solid research by reputable scientific or medical institutions. You're the one believing things that aren't backed by solid research by reputable scientific or medical institutions. You are twisting arguments to suit your own bias and you can tell me that you're going to consult your chemical scientist friends all you like, there are many reasons why I wouldn't automatically trust information given to me second hand in that way. I'm not saying you are dumb at all, but if you don't have a science background and you don't have some education in critically evaluating scientific information sources then you can be susceptible to believing a lot of things that simply aren't true. Groups such as the one you've quoted are very good at spinning information to suit their own agenda. Do you think all the companies promoting their 'natural' products aren't motivated by profit? Also, just because something is written in a journal does not mean it's trustworthy or true. I don't know if you're aware of just how many extremely dodgy journals there are out there, who will basically publish any so-called study no matter how badly designed or biased it is. Again, it's very difficult to sort out the crap from the reputable stuff if you don't know what you're looking for. I'm not going to engage further with you in this particular discussion.

... don't. You think I'm flaky, and I think the same of you. I won't even agree to disagree where you are concerned and it's best to apply the good ol' ignore principle and simply refuse to engage and walk away. I'll continue to enjoy my discussions with my smart pals IRL who have bona fide credentials and are professionals in their fields and not listen to some cryptic. If you do not even believe in the results of FDA studies, I truly have nothing left to say to you. Continue dispelling everything but I'm not walking down that path. My energy is best conserved for better stuff in life, like good sex. Afterall, that's what being on RHP is primarily about for me - sex! If it doesn't feel good, and it doesn't contribute to good sex... pffft!

wrt chemical ingredients of cosmetics, there will no doubt be many arguing the pros and cons of each individual ingredient, its source, and broader impacts. wrt Lead (Pb) specifically, you could go ogle "human bioaccumulation heavy metals lead" and read a vast array of info from formally qualified academic sources... Am not taking sides. Am interested in learning the truth of the matter.

Good topic and relevant to many of us. Your notes on lead on lipsticks has been informative and very helpful. Also as a frequent user of it, I should really look into it more. Thank you! Much appreciate the effort you took to share this information so that many here could benefit and be educated on 'stuff' we put on our faces. Wrt to make up. I love it! I am fascinated with women who could wear their make up well. Contours and highlights to accentuate their best features. not so much as insecurities but really just something different from my home persona. I'm not into thick make up or clown faces. I wear minimal make-up daily. Sometimes none to let my skin breath. But always eye-liner and lipsticks. For work, definitely minimal except for daycream, concealer, foundation and some eye liner n touch of eye-shadow to make my eyes 'pop'. Lol. I want them to focus on my work not my make up. Depending on my mood and what I.have on that say, Meeting with clients or prospective clients, I have to be very professional looking and definitely made up. I don't mind it. Just a bit of playtime. I spend no more than 15-30 mins on make up for this. Some days, I dress up in suits or dresses that will take me from dsy to night and bring necessary accessories. I may reapply or change my make up at work before heading off to a work dinner or some other functions. I hit the gyms most days and evenings. When I have the time I would wipe off my eye make up before boxing or a HIIT session as excessive sweating results in runny make up. 🐼 panda eyes are not attractive. I got a lovely comment this morning at the bank about my skin. it made me blush. I have tried false lashes. They don't work for me. First 2 days and they just drop off after a hard session of boxing sparring. The boxing headgear makes your head sweat so much it basically melted the lashes away each time I wipe the sweat off my brows and eyes during the sparring. Haha. Bloody expensive so never again. also not a fan of liposuction or injections on face. I have.been blessed with full kissable lips so fillers not necessary. I have a few worry wrinkles on my forehead. That stays. Otherwise I have hardly any wrinkles. Genetics and good simple beauty regime. Nice topic as usual. Thanks👍

I'm working in Asia at the moment. Most of the ladies here wear minimal make-up to work. I have noticed though that most have lighter facial skin compared to their arms and legs. I would put it to the skin damaging ingredients they put in their creams. most creams and soaps have 'skin whitening' ingredients. Omg. some of the creams have high content if acids that strips the outer layer of the skin and recommend people to stay away fr sun exposure after use. this mentality is prevalent all over Asia. I'm not opposed to plastic surgery for people who deem it necessary to help them socially. My cousin had a small very wide nose and it made her very conscious and insecure despite the fact she has a brilliant mind and is a warm charming person. it held her back psychologically. She had a nose job and it did wonders for her self esteem and.in turn her career. she also had liposuction along the way. Must be an bulk discount thing. Haha. Good for her. So no judgement on surgical enhancements. Whatever we feel comfortable with, at any age, we just need to embrace that. If one feels a little tweak here and.there, go for it. For me, there is more to beauty than the visuals. I prefer to hang out with warm engaging funny individuals than miserable bitter people regardless of how good they look. the latter are such downers. I believe in regular exercise to release stress.and get blood circulation. endorphins do work wonders physically and mentally. Also staying away from alcohol as much as we can as it dehydrates the skin. Feed your mind and body healthy and well, surround ourselves with happy people and try leading a fulfulling less self centred life. I think they keep us happy and beautiful from within and it will show on your skin and attitude. That's what I call ageing gracefully.

- What do you think and feel about women who have had breast implants? While I have never encountered these "in the flesh" so to speak, I have no opinion either way, as it is a woman's choice to do with her body as she pleases. - Does cellulite repulse you and if you see cellulite on a date's thighs, would that be a game-changer?NO. Absolutely does not make a difference. Seeing a date's thighs at all is a game-changer...in a positive way hahaha - Would a tummy or other jiggly bits make you desire a woman less?Absolutely positively and definitively NO. While my preference is actually for the more full-figured rubenesque woman (my username is a pretty obvious allusion to that), I come in all shapes and sizes lol- Do you prefer a natural look? Or a glam queen dressed to the nine's look, complete with dramatic false eyelashes, mucho hair extensions and hairspray, fake nails, etc?Give me natural any day, as a personal preference. The above answers notwithstanding, I am a firm believer in a woman being free to decide for herself what she does or doesn't want to do or wear or whatever. I choose for myself and so should she.There is definitely much more to a woman than the external and I would hate to think I was that shallow.

Had a good chuckle at your priceline story. Lol. I can just imagine. Same thing for chemist warehouse sales come Xmas. Crazy stuff. I'm not familiar with Nude make up range although they seem popular. I try to stick to same proven brands as lack of time, cash and interest prevents me from buying impulsively just any brands. high school and university fees take precedence over vanity. Lol 😁

Aren't they still researching whether those chemicals are cancer causing? And don't some sunscreens completely block our bodies from producing vitamin D, and vitamin D deficiency been linked to higher risk of cancer and heart disease? I think I'll just cut 2 holes out of a sheet and put it over my head and walk around like a ghost all day. There won't be any body image issues then either.

I'll take all the help I can get... Make up, extensions, surgery. I think a real woman is a groomed woman. When I see a plain woman, I can't help thinking, you'd look way better with a bit of effort. On the one hand I think, it's great that she feels comfortable in her own skin, but as a girlie girl, I can't help thinking grey hair doesn't suit anyone under 40. I can't help thinking she's let herself go. Sure, I can step out of the house without makeup, but I prefer not to. Heck, I'll even wear makeup to the gym. Mr is forever telling me to wear comfortable shoes (when we go out) but I prefer my uncomfortable sky high heels. I feel more slender, more sexy. If I'm dressed to the nines ... I'm more likely to be a care free, naughty gal. I feel brighter, more positive and more attractive. Rihanna's song "want you to make me feel like i'm the only girl in the world...." That's my theme song, and it's not sung by a tired, washed out, old woman. I'm a strong advocate for self improvement ;) - Posted from rhpmobile

Quoting 'tulips4u' Aren't they still researching whether those chemicals are cancer causing? And don't some sunscreens completely block our bodies from producing vitamin D, and vitamin D deficiency been linked to higher risk of cancer and heart disease? Sunscreen doesn't cause cancer, this is another myth being peddled by nutjobs like Pete Evans. You are much more likely to get cancer if you don't use sunscreen when out in the sun. Australia has the highest rates of skin cancer in the world for a reason. Speaking of cancer, it has been now been determined that about 70% of all cancers are caused by random DNA replication errors over time (this is why most cancers occur in older people). The other 30% are due to environmental factors and hereditary predisposition. So, you can spend do absolutely everything in your power to avoid anything you think might give you cancer - both the actual proven risk factors and the debunked ones - and there's still a pretty good chance that you'll end up with cancer anyway.

If I am going out for a date I will wear makeup that highlights features. I don't wear makeup to work, or day to day. However, my spirit soars in the ocean, scuba diving etc ie activities without makeup. I hate to bust some bubbles, but not too many women leave the water after a scuba dive looking like the Bond girls, it's more like hair everywhere and snot hanging out of the nose( don't visualise) dragging your body along with a smile you could wipe off your face with a baseball bat! I don't see my body as a an object to be judged by others for its beauty, I see my body as a vessell of love, of pleasure to be utilised to do the things I want it to. It's carried me through childbirth and other miracles to this time. I believe my soul is way more pretty than my body and I am ok with that. And I encourage my nieces to dive, play sports , be all they can be and I don't talk makeup or what their body image should look like with them. And I was surprised about the makeup being a sun block. The only thing I know about spf's is they have a use by date and they need to dry before you go out in the sun, and ohh that the spf stands for the amount of time they work for. - Posted from rhpmobile

I absolutely only use non toxic sun screen, which is readily accessible today, but even chose not to use sunscreen on my kids while in Africa (as we didn't have access to non toxic versions). Absolutely believe that it's toxic, and have read many peer reviewed articles that say so (nope, not going to spend hours producing them - if you are interested, either for yourself, or to have a go at me, do your own research 😉). While I'm at it, I only use organic (and, yes, I have done the research and weeded the 'organic' from the organic. Most 'natural' companies are anything but.) makeup, shampoo, conditioner, cleanser, moisturiser, etc. No fluoride in my house either. Not only is the whole 'stops tooth decay' bit a farce (because, lets face it - there hasn't been a huge down surge in fillings! Also, we have lived in many communities, both here and overseas, where there wasn't any fluoride in the water supply, and none of us have had any cavities), again, there are many, many studies which have documented the damage it can do. HOWEVER... these are the choices I have made for myself, and my family, not something I'd ever judge someone else on. Each to their own, for whatever reason they choose their path. I love our diversity and our ability to embrace it in each other. Generally, I tend to be minimalist, makeup wise, always have... I'd rather be at the pub having a drink, than preparing for it :) Think Pepper, Soft and Annie can all attest to my minimal prep time 😁 Totally born from 'can't be bothered' rather than anything else. My makeup for Hellfire challenged me in ways that you can't imagine 😬 (Disclaimer: I love your guts Dragon - my 'nutjob' reference is me absolutely embracing my hippie, not at dig at you or your Pete Evans comment x)

There isn't anything so suggest that any of those chemicals is a risk in sunscreen that I can find from any actual science. What I can tell you though, is that the government very intentionally puts dihydrogen monoxide in the water supply. Taken as a glass of water it is generally fine, but if you wear to accidentally breathe in enough of it it actually decrease your lung capacity - inhalation of dihydrogen monoxide is actually a big problem, it kills many people each year. Betty: surely you could post a few references? All I can find are paper saying that the dangers are not real.

Quoting 'S_OnTheLoose' Betty: surely you could post a few references? All I can find are paper saying that the dangers are not real. I'd very much like to see some of those references. I'm also of the opinion that if someone is making a claim that goes against established science then it's up to them to produce the references, not for me to go looking. Every reputable organisation's position on sunscreen that I have seen, including the various cancer councils, is that no they are not toxic and I'm going to keep slathering myself in it whenever I go out in the north Qld sun until someone can show me some hard evidence otherwise and not just say 'I've read this now you go find it', which is a huge cop out IMO. All the above also applies to the fluoride issue. Betty - I like and respect you also, and we will have to agree to disagree on this particular subject. I'm also going to continue to call Pete Evans a nutjob, because he is literally using his public position to endanger people's lives and make himself a nice little profit, not just on the sunscreen issue but ridiculous advice like feeding babies bone broth. He's a menace. I'm going to remove myself from this thread as I feel it could become nasty (not from you Betty), and I'm not in the mood for dealing with that today.

Ladies, : - Would you be comfortable stepping out of the house with no makeup on?Yes I don't wear makeup to my day job most of the time, but love getting fully glammed up when I head out. - What is the minimal amount of makeup you've used? What is your "normal" makeup regime?I used to wear makeup daily - foundation, powder, brow pencil, blush, mascara at a minimum. Most days now I don't wear any, but I do have my eyebrows tattooed and my lashes tinted, and I'm getting lash extensions so I can skip the mascara. - What are your feelings about all the cosmetic procedures available now? eg. fake tans, eyelash extensions, hair extensions, laser treatments, botox, lip fillers, etc etcI spray tan myself weekly - I'm a redhead and have super pale and freckly skin. I also work as a skimpy waitress and if I don't have a tan on I do get people commenting on how ghostly I am. So I tan because it's considered 'healthier-looking' and more attractive. I don't worry about it during the week. I haven't tried lash extensions but am getting them in the next few weeks before a holiday overseas so I don't spend my time in front of the mirror. I have hair extension clip ins but i've only used them twice for when I went to Mexico for a bikini pageant. I've tried botox out of curiousity but didn't like the feeling of not being expressive. Lip fillers once also but they deflated way too quickly. I liked the look though. Also tried laser hair removal but I'm a redhead so it wasn't very effective. - Would you ever consider surgical procedures, eg. breast implants, breast lifts, liposuction, facelift, etc (Pretend that money isn't a limiting factor. ;) )Yes - I had very large breasts (10H at one stage) that have now shrunk to about half the size of what they used to be so I am not in love with the ski slope shape that they have. They used to be much fuller up the top. I don't plan on having kids but when gravity takes hold (they're still perky despite the lack of fullness up top) I'd definitely look into a lift and/or implants to fill out that excess skin. Don't think I'd try any of the other you've mentioned though. Personally, I prefer a natural-looking body (have seen some shockingly bad boob jobs but never seen a pair of natural boobs that produced the same response in me), but I think women look more glamorous with make up on. When I see a woman with no makeup and that doesn't put any effort in her appearance, I feel like she hasn't 'reached her potential.' Kudos to her for feeling comfortable in her skin to not need the false lashes, nails, tan, makeup etc. (and as I said, during the week I do the 'plain Jane' look myself) but I think that these things are popular for a reason - they do make a woman look more attractive (in my opinion anyway, and obviously a lot of women that are getting these things done). In saying that, that doesn't mean a women can't be beautiful without all of those things - and I envy those naturally beautiful women! It's definitely a confidence booster for me too, I feel far more confident and sexy dressed up to the nines with a fully made-up face. Miss Little xx

...I've told this story before, but in my 20's, a young couple I used to house share with...she swore that her boyfriends semen was great for her skin and said she lathered it on. Yeah, I'd heard it's full of zinc( like oysters ) so should be good for the skin. IN THEORY. But she had the worst acne, I remember. Proper pizza face.It was like "The elephant in the room" when she would mention it. All she'd achieved, I reckon, was semen clogged pores. But, who was young I to argue with pseudoscience..

Our culture tells women and girls that our highest value is in our appearance, and by association our youth ... if you look at social media, movies or any of the touchstones that we use to understand reality, you’d get the message that women have a shelf life, and beyond 40, we should all be desperately trying to remain 25! We’re really fortunate, though, to live in an era when the internet can amplify all kinds of voices that have been silenced. And I see 60-year-olds too have a vibrancy they didn’t have before and possibilities they didn’t have before. I would be lying if I said that turning the big 40 didn’t bother me but that's when I decided not to wear make up at all (even before I used it rarely), pay attention to what I eat and to make my own perfume.:) I celebrate the multi-dimensional woman I have become. Yes, there are wrinkles, but I am more real than I have ever been. I also read somewhere that if you sleep with mascara on your lashes they are 70% more likely to fall out so as far as I’m concerned, maintaining real lashes that aren’t quite as plump as they can be is ten times more compelling than having none at all.

Here's an idea: how about we stop policing women and let them wear as much or little as they like without public questioning? Make up, plastic surgery and cosmetic enhancements are all personal choices. It's her body and she has every right to decide what to do with it and how to make it look. If you're that concerned about product toxicity why not advocate for higher standard products? No need to critique women in the process. - Posted from rhpmobile

Some people are just argumentative. I simply apply the Ignore Tgerapy and just don't bother reading the toxic posts. Easy peasy. ;) It's taken me more than a decade on the tedious joirney back to better health and wellness and I've been feeling very energetic lately. I'm so lucky to be surrounded by supportive friends and colleagues, and I'm so keen on basking in the Joy Bubble that I simply get repelled by individuals who are negative and want nothing to do with them. Of course people can do whatever the hell they want with themselves. No one's going to stop anyone. I'm asking for opinions and sharing mine alongside my concerns. If being concerned for strangers is so wrong, and people respond with biting remarks, then we are just setting the framework for a society that doesn't care because by expressing any concern, one gets bitten and attacked by vicious dogs. Sheesh! I'm always very grateful when friends show concern because they care and never retort with bitchy remarks like "none of your business" and "I didn't ask for your advice". People may show their care and concern in a manner which may not be our personal preferred method, but that doesn't warrant attacks and smart alec comments because the intent stems from a good heart although the execution may be flawed. Back to the topic! =D

I don't use them, but I don't know why the hell I keep them! :P I suppose they look pretty, or I regret not having utilised them enough, etc. :P Totally illogical and nonsensical. I think I'll snap a photo of the palettes, and then into the trash bin they go! Lipsticks too... I have to start to discard those that's exceeded the one year mark and be ruthless about it. :P Speaking of lipsticks, I think I reapply them at least eight times on a typical workday. On a crazy-busy day, maybe just twice. If there are indeed cumulative harmful effects from lipsticks, I fear I'll be ahead of the queue. :/ But without lipstick, I resemble The Walking Dead! LOL!

Since using this brand I've ditched all my normal lippies because like you I was finding in order to look balanced, I was constantly touching up during the day. I highly recommend these 24 hours lippys with a excellent range of colours.

I do use those sometimes but the trouble is, my lips dry out very quickly and I always moisturise them with a lip gloss at the same time when I reapply my lipstick.

I probably end up ingesting too much lipstick all the time! :P

I am envious of women who can apply make up that enhances their natural beauty, can rock a smokey eye and wear sexy red lipstick. I just never learnt how. I've always looked after my skin and on a daily basis I wear no make up at all. I simply apply rosehip oil after a shower. I'm more comfortable with no make up as it's what I'm used to. On a night out I may wear a tinted moisturizer, mascara and maybe a lip stain and I'm good to go. Boob jobs...... seen some awesome ones and some dodgy ones. I'd love to be a size bigger, but would be too scared they would ruin my already perfectly good boobs. I really dislike the cellulite on my thighs and bum, but I try to maintain a fit and healthy lifestyle and dress to suit my shape. I would not have any surgical procedures as I would just be too scared that something would go wrong and I'm really not that unhappy with myself. Life is too short, I just want to have lots of naughty fun! - Posted from rhpmobile

Well, IF I ever strike Tattslotto, I will opt for Liposuction! When I lost 15kgs recently, I noticed that the boobies shrunk (Awwww!!! ) and everywhere else shrunk too except for the tenacious roll of fat on my tum tum! Argh! Apparently, even athletes might be a victim of genetics - we tend to have "fat pads" exactly where mum / dad have them and since it's in our genes, we may diet and exercise and see everywhere else shrinking BUT those fat areas. I'm lucky to count a few Drs as my friends so when I casually asked two Plastic Surgeons, I was told that in my case, I am exhibiting the "typical" hot dog roll type of abdominal fat that middle-aged Asian women tend to have. The only way to get rid of it would be Liposculpture / Liposuction since weight loss did not do anything at all. That procedure removes fat cells whereas dieting and exercise shrinks the fat cells, but they still exist. When one puts on weight post-Liposuction, the fat cells in other parts of the body will become larger. I've had someone who had Liposuction a few years ago and who has since put on weight tell me that the weight she had put on did not appear on the areas that was lipo'd but they ended up in her boobs and she went up two cup sizes! So... I'm continuing my diet and active lifestyle, but keeping my fingers and toes crossed for a lucky break with Tattslotto!

The minimalist look can be very attractive! I've gone lighter and lighter in my makeup regime over the years although I still do not compromise when it comes to skincare. Rose Hip Oil is awesome! I do love to use several different types of oil and layer them one by one, especially in Winter, when the skin would benefit from a better barrier to keep the moisture in. I also love oils that are a combination of several different types of oil in one. I have so many bottles of oil, it's embarrassing!

This is after years of trial and error with lots of brands that claim to be smear-proof but turned out to give me Panda eyes. The number of mascara and eyeliners I've tried and that had failed the test is shocking. And I love love love Micellar Water! In Winter, I prefer Garnier's Biphase Micellar Water in Oil. The science behind how Micelles work is fascinating! Being the nerdette that I am, I hounded a sales rep and got a colourful chart showing how the nifty molecules work! And I got two free full-sized bottles of Micellar Water from two different brands too to try out! Woohoo!!!

Hi everyone, a few thoughts: And: please forgive me for my English-skills ;) I know a girl with some kind of eczema, and on our first morning together it was triggered by some of the make-up and lip stick she used in the evening before (costume party). The next morning the eczema was real bad, and after washing the make-up off her face she tried to hide her face out of shame. This was the only moment of our time together she did turn me off, and it took me quite some time to get her to show me her face and convince her that she is indeed beautiful - with or without it. The first impression might be about looks, but at least for me after this point is passed other things are more important. There are so many things to find and explore that it is impossible for everything to be perfect. Every woman (and man) is beautiful in her (his) own way and the astonishing details one does find while exploring the other persons mind and body play a huge part in their individual beauty. The details which ain't perfect can only be an obstacle, if they matter for they one possessing them and if not one should check his partner(s) and talk about it. Long story short, it's no biggie if you ain't perfect. However if ones body gets less sensual due to any cosmetic change it's a little bit sad, but it also gives rise to new opportunities ;)
