Half Of Women Are Dependent OnMakeup, Study Says

    Do you always put on at least a little concealer andlip gloss before leaving the house? You're not alone, especially if you do itbecause you feel like you need it.

   A new study by the Harris poll, conducted on behalf ofthe Renfrew Center Foundation which researches eating disorders, shows that 44%of women feel unattractive without any makeup on.

 

The study also found that one-quarter of women startedwearing makeup at age 13 or younger.

  

   If you've been swiping on the mascara since you were apre-teen, we can see why it might be hard to feel totally confident without it.But going easy on the eyeliner might, weirdly enough, have positive effects onyour career: A previous study in the UK revealed that one out of three bossesbelieve women sometimes wear too much makeup to work.

 

  We can't speak for all women, but we recently startedgoing totally makeup-free on the weekends, and we're loving it. And even starslike Julianne Hough, Marion Cotillard and Bar Refaeli all stepping out withoutface paint.

   Perhaps we'd all do well to embrace our natural facesand not think of makeup as something we "need" to face the outsideworld.

  

But maybe you already do!
