How fake are you?

adandem

I wear light make up.
Shave (very regularly!)
Pluck my eyebrows.
Wear nail varnish.
Colour my hair.
Do the occasional face pack/hair mask (not really fake though)
Mosturise/cleanse etc. daily. (again, not really fake)

Hair: I have highlights three to-four times a year.
de-hairing: daily shaving. Would love to have something more permanant. I'm not hairy, but I can't stand the feeling when legs etc aren't smooth: I shve becuase waiting to wax you have to get some hair to wax.
Tan: not on your life. Brought up in hot climate and already have significant sun damage I expect. Pale is beautiful. I am out side a lot, so its factor 50 all day, every day for me and I'd like to stay alabaster through summer if it were possible, as it is I'll settle for just very pale.
Nail varnish on toes almost always, on fingers almost never: used to be both when I was younger, but I have to redo hands daily, and really, the animals don't care so much.
I facemask or similar twice a week, and deep moisturise my hair then too, and I wear some makeup everyday and probably a little too much most days.

I'm very seriously thinking about eyelash extensions. I'm fed up of panda eyes in the summer days, when I'm doing things with the horses. My eyelashes are quite fine, so even dyed they look a little insignificant, though they are quite long, so extentions might be a good addition, particularly in summer, which would actually mean a simpler approach to summer day time makeup. Its just whether I can justify the costs or not really.

I wear make up and defuzz but that's it.
Luckily at 54 I don't have any grey hair so colouring is'nt a problem and since I've worn sunblock on my face all my life I've got realy good skin.
I do spend a lot on good skin creams though.
I just could'nt be bothered with anything fake and I hate being fussed over.
Fake tans don't interest me,I like being pale and a tan would'nt suit my fair hair.
I have'nt even,in all my years been to a hair dresser.I get my husband to trim my hair.It's long so it's easy to do.
Teeth,boobs ect are still as nature intended and are going to stay that way.

What? 54 and no grey hair....you lucky girl!

My boobs are also as nature intended for your average 51 year old; however IMO Mother Nature doesn't always know best, Bravissimo knows better! :footie::footie:

It runs in my genes my father died aged 73 with no grey hair and my grandfather had jet black hair when he died aged 80.
My daughters all in their thirties take after my husband who went grey in his thirties.
It's funny in a sad way watching your babies dye their greying hair when you have none yourself.

I don’t think I’m massively fake....

Only real fake thing is acrylic nails. Medium length normally painted really bright colour. I Get them done in a local salon.

I shave all my bits; but do have my eyebrows threaded.

Hair is dyed; but with a at home dye. Normally a natural brown. Used to be highlighted in a salon but was costing too much!
I dye my lashes at home.

I don’t use fake take. I am incredibly pale and they all go streaky and blotchy on my corned beef legs. I would love to be brown though.

Toe nails painted and filed; but done at home.

I do wear a lot of make-up. I love the ‘mask’ type feeling i get from being properly made up. I don’t think i look overly fake though as reasonably skilled at doing it.

I am a product junkie; and have 100’s lotions and potions for everything... and am normally exfoliated and moisturised to within an inch of my lie.
Body shape unfortunately all natural. I have no tattoos.

It seams a long list; but to be honest i guess its normal for most women...
I would love to be brave and forgo it all; imagine how much extra time i’d have a time... But far too chicken for that. I think its expected really- making an effort.

welllll

Im 35 and have

fake boobs
coloured hair
shaved pits and legs
waxed fandango
plucked eyebrows
wear make-up daily....but not heavy
nail varnish
teeth are not mine either but that was from an accident


I dont do tanning as I dont like the whole bronzed look and no fake nails either...mine are kept short for work.

Not too big a list!!

never_enough

Hair dyed since I was 20 when it started going grey! :mad:
Pluck eyebrows. Shave pits. Just about to start laser hair removal on my legs/bikini line, mainly because I've started swimming every other day & can't be bothered to keep shaving as I come out in a rash.
No nails/varnish as gardening trashes them.
Wear make-up if I am feeling rough, am never without perfume though.
White fillings.
No tanning stuff & avoid sun when I can. Wear F15 in winter & F50 in Summer so skin is great.

Would consider;
1) Teeth whitening, but have heard it makes them more sensitive & mine already are.
2) Boob job (reduction!)

I understand what they mean about hygiene, I feel really dirty if I need shaving & I never feel cleaner than right after shaving.

I shaved my armpits a few years ago and I felt like freak! I think I actually cried afterwards.

Apart from shaving every day/second day (everything from the neck down,as I'm too scared to get anything apart from my eyebrows waxed!) I don't do much regularly.

Occasionally I'll have my eyebrows done.

I take good care of my hands/nails with creams,buffing and filing and sometimes using a basecoat or clear varnish (easier to put on,less mess and lasts longer than colour).

If I'm going out (just to the shops or whatever...),a quick bit of foundation,mascara and vaseline. If I'm going OUT-out (night out,day trip etc.) then I'll up the ante to include some coloured gloss or lipstick and a bit of eyeshadow.
