    I HATED (kinda still am) using make up for as long as I remember. I use it now, but very minimally. Other than sunscreen, only one makeup stuff I always use when I go out to avoid unnecessary comments. The others are optional.

      I struggle to get myself to wear sunscreen, and that keeps me from pain and death! No makeup for me, lol. When I had some interest in makeup, I eventually got used to it, but the interest is gone.

      It sucks you have to wear makeup to avoid comments. IMO, it should be an entirely neutral choice and other people can mind their own business.

        Place where mangoes and bananas are abundant 😄

        Anyway, I have very prominent dark circles because of genetic and people either comment because they’re concerned (thinking I am sick/don’t have enough sleep) or make a light joke about it. I’m not overly sensitive about it, but it just gets annoying sometimes hah
