I have to agree with DonnaJ. I mean, unless you experiment, how will you know? Then it's a mad scramble on a wedding or a party and you might just destroy a carefully put together outfit with the wrong make-up! Plus I had a really bad experience on the one occasion wear we're allowed to wear the whole face, my wedding! I had absolutely no control! In my country the standard foundation is beige and I am so not beige, more yellow, and so the standard escapist thing for the make-up artist to do is to go shades lighter, so I have a white face in my entire photo album. She was also a very rude woman who told me, two hours before my wedding, that if I was going to make a fuss I could go somewhere else. With the whole family waiting I didn't have much of a choice. So I don't plan to allow anyone to do that to me again.
I have a feeling that a lot of people think make-up, even a bit of rouge on the cheeks looks desperate, especially in a conservative crowd. I think they all think it's about other people, when I have to say its about me, I love playing with different shades, is a form of artistry and self-expression. So once in a while to convince myself that it's not about them I go out with none at all, not even lipstick to convince myself that secure I am with my natural face. I think of that part of it as a social experiment
