Speaking for myself (I'm hardly qualified to speak for an entire race, gender, any group, really), I wore make-up for men, back in the day.  When I attended women-only events, it was always an opportunity not to bother with the make-up.  And even in most mixed-gender situations, I used very little.  But it was always the women who picked on me for not wearing it.

Since I hit my 30's, decades ago, and especially since it's so common for women to go without makeup in Austin, it's a really rare event now, mostly having to do with making eyebrows appear on my face.  My husband's into inner beauty, but married me anyway (he's European though, so maybe that's why.)

My daughter's a masseuse who's urging me to do yoga.  I'll get there.  Thanks to Fran for the video.

You seem to have a very wise daughter - I would listen to her. :-)
