I wore a lot of makeup at my high weight, however I really don't correlate that to my weight.. I was just going through my 'princess of darkness' phase at the time. You know, heavy, dark makeup and alternative fashion.. I'm still very much into alternative fashion, but my tastes have matured quite a lot in the last few years and my preferences are much more.. dare I say, tasteful now.
So the makeup has lightened up a lot since losing the weight, but for me it really had nothing to do with my weight but more the evolution of my style preferences in general.
I thought this was really interesting cuz I used makeup not to be invisible but cuz I thought it would distract from how big I'd gotten.
Yeah, I see how you thought as well. The reason not wearing make up made me feel invisible was because I grew up very tomboy-ish, so when I wore makeup, everyone paid attention. Otherwise, I probably would've thought just like you-- that makeup would distract from my weight.
I've always taken a LONG time getting ready regardless of what weight I was. Except now, the end results I'm more pleased with than before.
I have noticed I could care less if I have make-up at the gym now though. I'm there to workout not to look good. At my biggest, I would make sure I had light makeup on so I look SOMEWHAT put together.
