Women of Reddit, do you wear make up on a daily basis and why?

Yeah, I do. I always have, probably since about the age of 15 (I'm 39). I dont leave the house without a full face. My SO tells me he loves me without it. And i know that i look younger than my age (I still regularly get asked for ID if buying alcohol etc) so i have good clear skin, lucky enough not to really have any wrinkles. Im very pale, with very dark eyes (which is a genetic thing) but again my SO loves that about my face. However without make up on, and i think this is because i've worn full make up daily almost for almost 25 years i dont feel like i look like me. I dont feel like myself at all. Id love to be someone who could just wear a littlw mascara and lip gloss and only wear a full face of make up on days / nights out etc but I genuinely don't feel like it me looking back when I look in the mirror.

So...there ye go. Lovely skin, caked in foundation (which costs me a fortune) for life. But at least i feel confident.
