Miranda: Thank you.

I agree that what’s most important is women not using makeup as a shield for what they (erroneously) see as their natural defects, and instead as an occasional enhancement.

The problem is that the routine of wearing it everyday can make it hard to see yourself without it; I’m workin’ on it.

And I contemplate putting pictures of myself on here, but so far I like the slight spectre of mystery.

I understand the *need* to wear makeup every day and the various reason many women feel they have to load it on every day.

I think it’s more important that women become comfortable with what they look like without makeup.

Again (even though I’m posting backwards), I’d much rather see a picture of you without makeup than a picture of a supermodel. I find you much easier to relate to than Helena Christensen.
