I have never gotten into wearing lip products (or really anything on my lips aside from regular Burt’s bees chapstick). I don’t know why but I just feel so uncomfortable and garish whenever I have any lip stuff on….I think maybe part of it is a texture thing for me? Like, glosses are super sticky and don’t stay on, matte or long lasting lipsticks crack and dry my lips out….I wear a full face everyday but just can’t take the plunge on committing to lip stuff. If I put it on, I wipe it off within 10 minutes.

What do other people consider a daily essential that you just can’t abide? Why do you think that is?

PS do any of you think it’s crazy to imagine full glam minus colored lips? Am I crazy?

    I wore contacts for decades, and any liner on my waterline would end up on my lenses so I never got into the habit.

    I don’t like the idea of makeup getting into my vitreous fluids if I can help it, and TBH it kind of icks me out on other people, but I’m traumatized by memories of the 80s when ladies otherwise into the natural look would apply chalky white liner on the waterline to “make their eyes look bigger.”
