Glad you were able to use the answer so quickly.  (sort of)
I am another one who doesn't wear makeup normally.  Not for any major reason, just don't.  I have only ever once had someone comment on it when I was working retail.  Several women in my current office don't wear makeup. 

Ruelz:
Maybe I live in a strangely sheltered world, but I don't recall ever hearing that women 'had' to wear makeup.  You can be perfectly well-groomed and not wear any make-up at all.

Same here :) I am wellgroomed, but I just can't be bothered with putting on makeup every day.

By the way, for the people who comment how men never have to put on makeup to look 'professional': It's kind of funny that the cosmetics industry is trying to change that. After all, almost every woman uses makeup these days, and there is not much to gain there. So over the last years I've seen more and more commenrcials for skin creams and the like for men arise.

Your comment reminded me of the article I saw the other day: a couple of make-up ads have been banned in the UK for being "misleading", because the pictures are airbrushed.

BeagleMommy:
I haven't worn make-up for about 15 years.  I just don't have the time.  If DH and I are going to a wedding or other special event I put a little on, but I generally don't wear it.  Your CW was rude.
