Maintenance stuff. Not car related.

My wife and I work very hard for each other. It’s part of what makes our marriage work so well.

One thing I like is the fact that she rarely wears makeup. I mentioned this because I just sw a woman in the waiting room who had a bunch of makeup caked on to presumably cover her freckles.

I’m just glad my wife doesn’t feel the need to cover hers.

This whole “cover freckles” conspiracy is a Communist plot.

C’mon, man

One could go with heavy coverage for a bunch of reasons, but harsh overhead lighting will definitely not help the situation!

I also clicked because I thought you were going to say you just bought her a ton of her favorite makeup, but still cute :) On a related note, I had my makeup professionally done last week before our engagement photos. As the guy wheeled in bag after bag, including his own chair/workstation and remote-controlled lighting, I told Travis that approximately the dollar value of the Monte Carlo’s suspension upgrade was now sitting on the table, so please keep the cat away. #shitsexpensiveyo

I’m not a fan of makeup... a little is okay but too much = yuck

That being said, do you have any black nail polish?

My wife wears makeup, but she doesn’t cake it on. And she does so masterfully.

People that pile on makeup like it’s keeping their skin from peeling off don’t know how to properly makeup (or so I’ve been told).

My wife’s favorite stuff is actually the Ulta brand stuff.

I do indulge her on hair stuff though. It’s nothing for her to spend $150 on hair products on one trip. Her flat iron was three days’ wages for me.

Thick red hair requires lots of maintenance.

I was a punk rock kid - not a goth boy. So I went with dark blue or green or something to match whatever unnatural color I put on my hair.

My wife is partial to her toes being painted. Specifically dark reds, blues, and grays.

Wh...why would you need remote controlled lighting to apply makeup?

Two part answer: you need good lighting for any detailed work and there’s no guarantee a client has such lighting in their house, so he brought his own. The remote control part lets you cycle between types of light without having to walk back and forth: bright white, “natural” light, etc. Since he did my makeup in my dining room and the engagement pictures were being taken outside, it helps make sure it’s not too overdone.

I just bought my wife an Evo 56v weed trimmer for Christmas and she is thrilled. She let our youngest make her up once because she’s like that for her daughters but she otherwise wears zero makeup ever and she’s beautiful and sexy and I’m lucky that she chose me to be her husband.

I love Sephora (probably Ulta’s most direct competitor), but that shizz is expensive! My makeup bag (who am I kidding... it’s multiple bags, not just one) is a mix of high end stuff from Sephora, Kat Von D, Urban Decay, and MAC as well as a whole bunch of drug store stuff like Maybelline, Loreal, Elf, NYC, etc. Even store-branded makeup.

My problem is nowadays I’m so pressed for time that I don’t really have much to spend applying makeup or playing around with it (I like having fun with it), so I usually just go completely sans makeup. Still, that doesn’t stop me from looking longingly at the eyeshadows when I pass by the makeup aisle, heh.

Anyway... in regards to the woman in the waiting room... who cares if she had a lot of makeup on? Who cares if she was trying to hide freckles? She might have been trying to hide something else, like scars. Or she just might like having a really involved makeup process. It doesn’t change who she is.

Depending on what day you catch me, you might think I’m one of those women who spends two hours everyday making sure I apply makeup in a rigorously perfected routine, or you might think I’m one of those t-shirt and jeans tomboys who frowns on the idea of even being near any makeup. The truth is... I’m both.

And I don’t wear or not wear makeup for the sake of the men who might see me in a waiting room, or at the grocery store, or at work, or while I’m enjoying a nice dinner at a restaurant. I wear it or I don’t wear it for me. And me alone.

As for hair: I’m very lucky God blessed me with razor straight, thick, dark brown hair. I can literally wake up and walk out the door without messing with my hair at all and it looks good. Heh. Which is good, because I suck at doing hair.
