Will I Really Wear Makeup?

[JennSmith]

I am getting closer and closer to our 9/17 trip and I keep wondering....will I REALLY wear makeup while I'm there? I mean I really don't leave the house without it on anymore which is funny considering for like almost all of my 30s I didn't wear a bit of it, (I am 39 - will turn 40 on they day we leave for WDW ). However I really hate the stuff. I only use it because I prefer the way I look with it on vs. without. So I am torn - do I bother applying at all or just leave it at home and forget it?
Two things...
1. Yes, I know in the grand scheme of things this is stupid to waste my time pondering and I'm sorry for wasting your time too lol.
2. I am an all or nothing type so I will either apply all of it or none of it. So suggestions to go light won't help since I don't wear too much anyway, but enough to "feel" it on (which is the part I hate).
What are your experiences with makeup and what do you suggest for me?

Ha! I'm Italian and never dated anyone who wasn't at least part Italian - it just saves so much explaining (like how to pronounce 'cannoli' - oh and...it's gravy...and emotional outbursts...and real pizza...) LOL. Ended up with an Irish-German so white, he thinks any black person singing is "gospel music" LOL. But he has dark hair. Two weeks from tonight, we'll be packing to drive to WDW the next day for our 8 yr wedding anniversary. (Together 10 yrs.)

Totally understand about all of the explaining! Lol! We've been married 13 years and I still have to explain stuff about the culture but he pretty much adopted it all for himself - especially the food! Lol!

Congrats on your anniversary coming up! So exciting! Have fun!!!

I never wear make up at WDW. In fact sometimes I go a few days without shaving. After about three days though my face starts itching and I shave it off.

That sounds very painful.

I think it all depends on the shoes. These for instance would probably work well.

Anywho, @JENN SMITH as an official middle-aged lady (50) I've actually toned down the makeup from full-on "foundation" to a BB cream with SPF, which serves me well at home and at WDW. I use a nude-ish eyeshadow and mascara, as well as eyebrow pencil. I'm a natural redhead with blonde/invisible eyebrows/lashes, so eyebrow pencil and mascara are musts for me before going out in public. Eyeshadow is optional, and eyeliner, I gave that up years ago when I read that using it could emphasize the fine lines under one's eyes! If you are not yet in your 40s, don't even worry about that one.

The hair--naturally curly, which aged into a kind of half-hearted wave that I flatiron. Looking at pics from last week's WDW trip, I've just decided that total flat/straight hair is not all that flattering, so I need a consult with my hairdresser before November, when I return to WDW!

No clue. I just googled marvel shoes.
