[Blindtlk] gross but what do I do?

[Graves, Diane]

Hi Michelle,

On that note, I have to say that I have known many sighted people who aren't willing to wear makeup as well, so I think it is a personal thing.

Even though I've had 66 surgeries on my face, there's still feeling
around the eyes, so my guess would be yes.
On another note, whether we're judged or not, some of us just plain
don't like makeup, period. I for one, have had enough experience with
ointments & such on my face to keep me from hardly ever using makeup.
I don't like Halloween masks *put masks on to put me to sleep when I
was a kid*, don't like makeup or anything but water on my face.
