Day to day I do not wear makeup. Since my oldest was for a very long time very much a tomboy and all the rest of my children are male I honestly did not really expect to deal with it much--but since she has really started getting into it it's been a fun bonding experience. It's another excuse to sit down with my teen for an activity that she is very much in control over (since I don't know crap about it, she's the one teaching me or making me over so I'm not too embarassing 😉 and no, she doesn't say that to me, I like to tease her about it though), doing something, talking or not depending on her mood or indirectly chatting about what's going on (she also likes to come down to my practice and get a one hour massage every other week too, which is similar in that she tells me what she wants, she decides what if any aromatherapy, she picks the music, ect.).

So I think I understand at least the appeal now when I see her friends and her shopping for makeup/trying new things and sending silly snapchat or whatever pics to each other, ect. 🙂 I am not sure if that's how ALL women get into makeup. Maybe I just didn't because I'm an only child who had pretty much all male friends until I was an adult and out of college!
