Edited to add: Also a 7th House Taurean Venus tightly opp my Asc.

I almost never wear makeup.

I don't get the point.

Re: androgyny: When I was younger, a (gay) friend of mine commented that with a baseball cap on I looked like a pretty girl.
With it on backwards, I looked like a "hot gay boy".
So.
There it is.

I don't feel better than the women who wear makeup. I only feel sorry for those who panic at the thought of being seen without it.

I do too. It's kinda sad. I was watching 'my strange addiction' with my sister the other day and there was a woman obsessed with wearing make-up. To the point she even wore it to bed! imo she looked better without it or at least the amounts she had on... It would be interesting to see what her aspects/placements are lol xD

I like make-up more in a fun way and depending on occasion. Sometimes I like to do light make-up, sometimes I just don't want to wear it and feel much better without and sometimes I like to wear really spunky and colorful eyeshadow.

I can take it or leave it. Like Kerosene noted, I have a strong Mercury. For work I'll put on mascara and lip color, nothing on my skin but sunscreen. If I can only wear one item of makeup, I opt for bright red lipstick -- that gets a lot of smiles and attention from men for hardly any effort

About the only time I'll do a full makeup job is for stage or an audition and then I can make myself look anywhere from 30 years younger to 30 years older depending on the role, so that can be fun. Nothing like playing a VERY old woman -- removing makeup at the end of the performance feels like a face lift in a jar of Pond's cold cream.

My best friend is a Taurus with a Libra ASC but oddly, she's not really into makeup either.. she has Venus in Gemini widely opposite Uranus/Jupiter in Sag.

Personally, I wear makeup and find it very useful - I have pale skin and my eyelashes are almost invisible because I'm a redhead.. So it adds more color / expression to my eyes. I love lipstick, too.

I agree; it's fun! That's how I've become acquainted with so many amazing musicians.

Someone who is not into makeup... might be a feminist who has yet to hear of lipstick feminism or who is against lipstick feminism.

I'm not sure what aspects would go with that honestly.
Being closed minded? Brainwashed by chauvinistic dogmas that say good little girls should stay home, look after kids and never be sexual? -- going along with the whole mother-wh0re dichotomy.
Maybe Mercury-Saturn in harsh aspect.

I think basically there are two things at play here:

A lack of understanding for the sexual power of makeup.. or.. a lack of ability/desire to use sexual power.

and secondly..

I'm sure for instance sporty women who are always on the go - might choose not to wear it, as it would be inconvenient.

Also - it's perfectly normal in daily life to not wear makeup.. in many circumstances.. People who are addicted to makeup and won't ever take it off - are likely mentally ill.

, Lipstick feminism proposes that a woman is empowered — psychologically, socially, politically – by the wearing of cosmetic make up, sexually suggestive clothes, and the practice of a sexual allure that appeals to men and to women. The rhetoric of 'choice' and empowerment is used to validate such overt sexual practices,[5] because they no longer represent coerced acquiescence to societally established gender roles, such as “the good girl”, “the decent woman”, “the abnegated mother”, “the virtuous sister”, et alić.

Other feminists object that the so-called empowerment of Lipstick feminism is a philosophic contradiction wherein a woman chooses to sexually objectify herself, and so ceases to be her own woman, in control neither of her self nor of her person.[6] In an ongoing debate, Lipstick feminism counter-proposes that the practice of sexual allure is a form of social power in the interpersonal relations between a man and a woman, which may occur in the realms of cultural, social, and gender equality.

Again - I am not saying all women fall in this category. As Krista just mentioned she has an allergy. So there can be other reasons to choose not to wear make-up.
