When did you start wearing makeup?

Your mom sounds like mine (although I'm sure yours is much much younger). My mom was from that era where you didn't wear eye makeup if you had glasses (she did) or blush or liner or any of that stuff...BUT you could not be caught dead without your Revlon red lipstick. Even when she got older and somewhat housebound, she put on lipstick EVERY morning. She absolutely didn't understand me wearing 4 colors of eyeshadow and blush and then just putting no-color lip gloss on.

At this point in my life of course, I TOTALLY understand the not wanting to be without lipstick thing. The pigment in your lips starts going when you get older.
