Am I the only ...

... women in the inner west who puts her makeup on in the bathroom anymore? I don’t object to seeing a bit of lippy applied, or a nose being powdered, but I’m sick and tired of watching women apply the full slap! Foundation, cheek stuff, several kinds of eye stuff, layer upon layer of mascara, lip liner, lipstick, lip gloss! If I can manage to get to the train on time, fully slapped up, so should we all.

Wearing no make up at all is another option...

As my mum always says, "mustn't frighten the horses"!

I'd agree... Of course there is that fine line between just enough and too much.

The Mrs does well, but the only time she puts in on is enroute to important functions.

Do I risk encouraging her to use the bathroom and potentially have her quit all together, of just deal with the make up station in the passenger seat of the vehicle?

It's better than the girl in the lane next to me on the Warringah Expressway one day last week...

... with a bowl of cerial balanced in one hand, and a spook in the other. Somehow, between the two, she managed to juggle the steering wheel.

Maybe she saw someone do that on an ad and thought she'd give it a try.

I so wanted her to have an accident, if for no other reason that to see her wear those corn flakes.

UK - so long as your wife doesn't apply the stuff while driving - at least a car is more private than a train, tram or bus.
Chester, I keep wishing people applying mascara while driving end up with the the wand embeded deep in their eyeball!

Yer, Ms Mouse. I'm with you on the eyeball on a stick thing. Altho, I confess, I used to munch out on breakfast bars while applying the odd bit of mascara if stuck in a traffic jam enroute to the bridge.
What really used to mess me up was when the lights would go green while my manicure was being done, and I'd lose my page in the book because my espresso machine would jump around on the passenger seat while cooking up a brew. Then I'd stall the car.
That so sucked.

lol.

I was once in traffic (well, more than once, but for the purposes of this story, once) and in the car next to me was a student driver. I knew she was because it said so on the car, the driver was a very young girl, and next to her a nervous looking man. And she was lurching through traffic. But she was also on the phone. While learning to drive.

CAW - I'm glad you're not driving over here anymore, lorks a lordy!
E - there's a very, very funny tv ad over here, with that exact same scenario - I can't remember what it's for though.
