My thoughts regarding cosmetics have remained the same for my entire adult life: a bright pink lipstick and a spot concealer. However, I thought this was a great question for the community.
Dear Muffy,
Hello again from Down Under!
I hope you are going beautifully and the summer is not too hot for you. It is the depths of winter here and I am loving wearing my shetlands!
I have been thinking lately about cosmetics and their purpose. For a long while, I felt the pressure to wear foundation and cosmetics because I thought I had to wear it to look "polished" and because it was What Ladies Do. In the past few months, I have come to realise that I actually don't like how it looks on my skin (apart from some lipstick) and when I don't wear it, I feel more like myself. Also, I can't be bothered and it is expensive!
What are your thoughts about makeup and whether it is necessary? How do you think it aligns with the preppy ethos?
Regardless of whether I hear from you, thank you for writing such interesting articles for us and sharing such beautiful photos.
All my best wishes,
