So DH just called me from work and asked me out to dinner, which normally anyone else would be happy. Except Im convinced I have this weird phobia...or paranoia since I was a teen , Im not sure what you call it.
I hate going out without any makeup at all and my hair not done. (ie, not straightened) I have dark circles under my eyes to the point that I will freak out and be really self conscious if I go out without at LEAST concealer and lip gloss.
And as far as my hair, if I washed it, but didn't flat iron it, I will wear a hat instead of wearing it curly cause Im that self conscious about my wavy hair, especially now that its very short (my hairstyle is condusive only to straight hair, but I knew that going in)
Anywho, my point is, I actually get irritable when DH wants to go out and I don't because I just don't FEEL like doing myself up and going thru the whole makeup and hair routine just to go to dinner. Its ridiculous, and I know it. But Im so self conscious that people will look at me if I dont.
Does anyone have the makeup/hair complex when going out, or Im I the only freak???
*********Opps # 3 should say WITHOUT but I dont know how to fix it!! **********

i usually dont wash my face at night (i find i get more pimples when i do b/c it will totally dry out my skin) so i noamlly have on yesterdays make up! (i cant believe im letting myself out of the closet) This is due to me being completely lazy and not a morning person... if i dont have to go anywhere till the late afternoon i will do my hair and make up... if i shower after work and its late its a ponytail and no make up same goes for the morning unless i have on the day befores make up
p.s. i had to add donna that hats and glasses are my fix to everything!!!!
A woman after my own heart!!!

I guess as I've gotten older, it doesn't bother me as much. I don't go out w/o mu often, even if I just take a big brush and put some bronzer on so I don't look pale, then I'll just throw some lip gloss on in the car. NEVER too busy for a lil gloss!!
But, Donna, I think we have the same hairstyle and I wear it curly every once in awhile- it actually looks cute and I get a ton of compliments on it. If I'm 'going out' then it will always be straight, but if I don't have time to straighten and it's something last minute, I'll wear it curly. Try it!!
Sylvia....my before wedding hair or after wddding hair??

i only very recently started wearing foundation or powder of any kind, and in the summer time i usually skip it since my skin tans nicely, and makes my skin look healthy. i almost always wear at least mascara, blush, and lipgloss, and more often than not, some eyeliner. can i leave the house without them, you betcha! if i'm just running errands, i really dont' care what i look like. if we're going out, i put on such little make up that, that it'll take me literally 5 minutes to put it on.
as for my hair, now with it super short, it takes me 2 minutes to do it (OK, 1 minute!). even when i had it really long, i always wore it natural because i really hate fussing over how i look. i have no patience to straighten it, or do anything other than shake it out. i put in some frizz control stuff, some mousse, and leave it. i don't even own a hair dryer, and have no plans on ever owning one. it'll just sit there collecting dust. when i had long hair, and it was super humid, and my hair was a frizzball, i just slicked it back into a ponytail, and was happy with that.
i'm definitely all about NO FUSS! (i'm sure this is so not what you wanted to hear )
Thats okay T, I wish I had your color skin !!!!!!

I am like this. I just think when I look good I feel good and have more confidence. I hate going out without having my hair done this probably sounds crazy but I feel fat if my hair is back and I just feel better with a bit of make up on. I am not crazy though I'm not one of those people that wakes up 30 minutes before their dh so he will never have to see me without makeup. If I am home doing work or relaxing I have no problem having my hair back and showing my zits.
I must get it from my mom she always goes out looking great she used to iron my team uniforms I had creases in my soccer shorts. I am obsessed with ironing now too. I hate wrinkles some days I see people in work clothes and it looks like they ironed their shirt with a stick. My mom also would change if she was doing construction work around the house with my dad and had to go to Home Depot my dad would have spackle in his hair and a pencil in his ear but my mom always looked ready to go out. I am exactly like that now. I just think if I know I can look better why go out looking sloppy. When I look good I feel good and for that it is all worth it .
This all goes out the window if I am hungover .
i can identify with all of this!
When I look good I feel good and more confident and i also feel like a 'fat face' with my hair up and not done. That being said, I could care less how DH sees me. he's seen it all! I'm not like that at home.
My mom sounds like your mom. hah

Yeah, I really love the cut, but it is a PITA to maintain. I kinda miss my ponytail!

only in the last year or two have i even cared about doing makeup. not to sound like i'm all that.... ...but i have always had really good skin...no blemishes or being too oily and such. so i have been able to get away with maybe a little lip gloss and thats it--for awhile.
You do have the most gorgeous skin. You post these pictures where your face is right up in the camera, and I'm so jealous, I could NEVER. I have awful skin and hate it so much that even with my great m/u job on my wedding I didn't want any close-up portrait shots of just my face. I can't look at my skin that close up. If I had one wish, of the superficial 'how I look' variety, it would be to have clear skin.
