Bethster, there is a poster on FlyerTalk known as
Former BAG. A few years ago she was my girlfriend (hence the name: It stands for Former Beautiful American Girlfriend).
I have seen her at night and in the morning. I have seen her in rainstorms and snow. I have also seen her right after she got out of the shower.
There was only one time that I ever saw her when she looked ugly. She was the manager of a department store and the rep of one of the cosmetic companies gave her a complete facial make-over. She wound up looking like a painted clown.
Every other time she was, indeed, beautiful.
My UIG (Used Italian Girlfriend) also looks a lot more attractive without make up than she does with it.
I imagine that make up does help some women but the great majority are simply giving in to the advertising hype which has convinced them that they are so ugly that they have to hide behind a "new face".
Wrong. In most cases, their natural beauty far outshines anything that Revlon or Estee Lauder can put in a package.
