I always wore makeup when I was younger, but I was never very fashionable, hated shaving (but did it when I needed to wear shorts or dresses), and my jewelry was usually limited to earrings, maybe a couple of rings.
When I met my husband, he preferred when I didn't wear makeup. He said it was natural and how God created me, and that beauty isn't enhanced by piling goop onto our faces. I personally think I look better with makeup, because I kind of hate how I look in general so anything I can do to hide or enhance is a plus. But I became comfortable with not wearing makeup, since my husband prefers it, and now I prefer it as well.
Women are horrible to each other. We are judgmental - more to each other than anything else. That's not to say that men, employers, store clerks, restaurant wait staff, and the whole of the rest of society doesn't also judge. But I think women feel it more strongly from each other, because we all look to each other to "measure up" so to speak.
