Do you wear makeup? Do you have sensitive skin that makeup irritates?

I’m someone in my late 20s, early 30s, and I’ve only worn a full face of makeup less than 10 times.
I have pretty sensitive skin, and even if I take very good care with makeup application, removal will leave me crying for my life.
My usual going out makeup includes some eye product(Kajal and/or mascara, I don’t really know how to wear eyeliner), a lip color(either a mauve lipstick or some gloss) and depending on where I’m going, maybe some highlighter and blush(same as the lipstick)
And I think it’s pretty normal where I live, I haven’t seen people coming to work with a full face of makeup on unless that’s somehow a part of your job.
I have really sensitive skin, plus I just hate the feeling of any makeup on my skin. Doesn’t matter if it’s “light”, I can feel it and I don’t like it. My mom keeps telling me I’m weird to not like it and that “all girls wear it”. I don’t care if everyone else does, I don’t like it.
You’re not weird, and no, not all girls wear makeup. But if she keeps pressuring you, ask her to take you to something like the Clinique counter and have them show you their 3-step skin care. If you take care of your skin, you won’t need “makeup”. You should cleanse your face at night, use toner if you feel greasy, and a mild moisturiser. Eye cream is also important. Tap it in, don’t rub! Make sure your eyebrows are in good shape and dark enough to frame your eyes. A tinted lip gloss/balm is good to have for winter. Pick a mineral sunscreen to wear if you will be outside. Mineral- not chemical. Olay and Clinique make good ones. Lastly, and ONLY IF YOU WANT TO, a smudge of eyeliner or shadow along the lash line, and a washable mascara (Clinique or Maybelline in the pink and green tube) can be fun if you want to play with the basics. But no, not all girls wear makeup, and if you are confident in yourself without it, you’re doing something right.
