Mask or no mask

[malcontent]

In my neighbourhood now, it's dropped to about 85% masked. A bit higher in the malls. I suffer from allergies so I am careful not to sniffle when I am maskless. Otherwise I am glad to be back to almost normal, no more fogging glasses and mask poking my eye.

Mask poking your eye? That’s never happened to me LOL. For me, it’s nice to be able to get from point a to B without my whole face becoming sweaty and ruining my make up.

I got small face lor...most disposable masks are too big.

I’ve got the opposite problem — things here are always too small, too tight for me.

For masks, the tight straps really hurt my ears after a while.

My wife also said it’s easier, don’t need to put on makeup - no one will know.

As a woman, completely agree The time I usually spend getting ready in the morning has more than halved since COVID, now thinking about putting on a full face before work sounds like such a drag.

I have this probably unpopular opinion that most women look better with no makeup than with a makeup (statistically) but my wife keeps saying that the cases I think are without makeup are still with a makeup. Life is complicated.

Actually, I believe this is the opinion of most men. Personally, I’ve always gone for a relatively simple, natural make up look. It’s funny because the goal is to look like you’re not wearing any make up, so just covering the eye bags, and adding a little lipstick, so your colleagues can’t tell you only got 3 hours of sleep.

x9200, I agree and disagree. While some could use a little help, me being an old farmboy, grew up around girls & women that either didn't wear or wore very little makeup and to me I appreciate the wholesome look over an "influencer". Or to put if bluntly, I like to wake up next to the same woman I went to sleep beside without her waking up 30 minutes early to put her face back on in order to keep up the charade.

I get it, and honestly it’s a lot easier to be comfortable going without make up. How exhausting would it be to have to do all this work just to feel like you’re presentable? I thank the stars for blessing me with good skin, saves me a hell of a lot of time and gives me quite a bit of confidence.

Same here, luckily, I found a pretty good work around - I used a rotation of handmade cloth masks, with really soft, adjustable straps. Didn’t cut into the skin at all, and were relatively breathable. Plus, they were great for the environment, I just had to remember to wash them. They served me well.
