Men know little to nothing about makeup. They don’t know how it works, and they barely know when a woman is wearing it. I mean, they can tell when the application is obvious, but they have no idea about more natural effects.

Your statements are ridiculous. Black people have been killed while shopping, while inspecting their own properties, while walking down stairs in their own building. Because they were black. The distrustful eye of that Starbucks employee can lead directly to a black person being injured or killed by police or by…

I love and adore good old Ponds. I apply it all over my face and eyelids, spritz a Kleenex with clean water to dampen it, then wipe off the cold cream & makeup with the damp tissue. I then will use a clean warm washcloth to go over my face and get off any last traces, and I’ll follow that by washing my face with a…

I thought I read that too.

Um, yes, marriage is recognized by society. Cheating with a married person makes you a jerk helping to screw up a family. It’s not totally your fault, but it’s partly your fault. You are being a jerk if you participate in a deception against someone else. You are not being a jerk if the other spouse knows about you…

I just don’t understand how someone could be a bad kisser but good in bed. I mean, how can one think that licking teeth and nostrils, jabbing tongues, etc. are hot, and be cognizant of the other things that turn people on?

The balloon anecdote made me laugh out loud. I didn't even know that this was a variety of bad kissing.

Why on Earth not? I’m sorry, but bad kissing is utterly horrible and no one should have to suffer it in silence. And it won’t get better without addressing it, because obviously the person thinks that his subpar skills pass muster.

They rank way at the bottom - to you.

I don’t understand why you care about a bunch of women going to a class on makeup, and you don’t care about a bunch of guys learning how to use their pricey camera gear to take photos and get more likes on Flickr and approval from their fellow photographers. It’s the same thing. People investing their time in the…

Do you feel superior to these people?

You wrote that -

Some people wear makeup to rock the latest bold lip color, and others wear makeup just to look “normal” because they might have really blemished or marked skin. You don't know.

This, exactly. Most men who are not named Francois Nars are completely ignorant about makeup. The Instagram look is not meant to impress the average man, it’s meant to impress other women (and the few men) who know what it takes to achieve that look.

Me too! And the bedtime ritual can be long because that's when I clean my brushes as well as my face.

The line from Prince’s song “U Got the Look” -”It must have took a whole hour just to make up your face” - that line is not unrealistic, I’ve learned. No, it doesn’t take that long at all daily, but it can if one is taking special care for a particular look.

I suggest that people not fall for the La Mer marketing, and actually go to a site like Paula’s Choice that evaluates makeup & skincare based on the proven claims of their ingredients. Some better options can be found at the drugstore for $20. /I’m being a party pooper

I assumed that all of them have extensions.

I have no problem with what she’s saying. She’s giving nurturing support to others, and one doesn’t have to carry a child in one’s uterus to do that. Nor are the women who do give birth to a child automatically entitled to the sobriquet “mother” - there are “mothers” who will abuse or neglect their children, or will…

I was sure that Fielding was aiming for Daniel Craig to play the new love interest for the movie version of the 3rd book - given the character’s description. As for my impressions of the 3rd book, didn’t love it much. I was touched by the character’s reactions to the big spoiler, but found the latest Bridget to be an…
