I'm not a makeup person, but I am beginning to wonder if it also depends on other factors like early messages in childhood, parent modeling of wearing make up or not, and the industry/environment that you work in.

For example, my mother didn't wear any makeup. We lived in the tropics where sweat would drip down our faces. On occasion I would wear eyeliner. I teach at a university and being glamourous is not expected. It's the same with coloring ones greys. I'm comfortable with my greys, and I think I look presentable. To each their own, with no judgment as long as one feels good about themselves and not forced to conform to societal expectations of how one should present themselves.
