I honestly can't recall anyone ever commenting on my makeup at all.....hope that's a good thing!

If you are secure with your choices, there ARE no rude remarks, yes? "Rude"? What is that word you say..."rude"? Say "thank you" & continue on with your fabulous life!!

But on the other hand......guurrrlll....we Texas Beauties have cornered the market on "The Remark". You smile sweetly, pat them on the hand & say "Well, thank yeeeew!! Bless Your Hearrrrrrt!"...and continue on with your fabulous life.

Warning: Only a true Southern Belle can carry this off (and knows the true meaning of Bless Your Heart!), but we WILL let the Yankees try. =.

Oh, please. You just say a cheerful "thank you!" and move on. Snide remarks can only hurt you if YOU let them . ALso if you wear bright or extravagant make, you do so because you. want to be noticed. Well, sometimes the attention you get, will not be positive. That's okay, as long as you are happy.

Eleanor Roosevelt said it best: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

As a Connecticut Yankee in the South, I know what 'bless your heart' means and I can only imagine what is being said (or thought) after that.

Being a Southern girl myself, I know all about "Bless Your Heart". I know it can be used several ways. I pulled through a drive-thru just a few days ago during a downpour...cars were backed up...the girl inside had a trashbag over her uniform like a raincoat...rain was slapping her in the face everytime she opened the window because the wind had changed and was directing the rain towards the window. I felt so bad for her; she was giving service with a smile the whole time! I gave her my money and said, "Well, bless your heart"....I actually meant it!! I used it in a good way!

That was a very sweet sentiment! I'm sure she appreciated the comment under those crazy circumstances...made the day a little brighter.

I don't know if I should admit this but when I read your header I thought you were talking about the mean spirited comments some people make on the boards. I guess that was my ""duh"" moment for the day.

No ""duh"" about it; I initially thought the same thing.

Maybe you need a makeover. Go to a cosmetic counter and see what they suggest. You may be surprised! There was this lady customer I waited on for many years. She wore this god awful brite blue eye shadow every day. I guess no one close to her had the guts to tell her how bad it looked. She put it on everyday so she must have thought it looked good.....maybe when she was 17?

Kind of reminds me of someone I worked with one time. She commented on a prospective employee I had just finished testing (who, in fact, WAS wearing too much eye makeup).

Her comment: 'too bad she uses so much eye makeup - it doesn't improve her ugly appearance'. MY comment: ' Ugly can be fixed. Stupid can't'. 13 years later 'ugly' is still with the company; I managed to get rid of 'stupid' 6 weeks later. ${#emotions_dlg.devil2}$

Off subject, but brings me to another issue about people's comments. I have ongoing mobility issues. Have and use a scooter and/or walker, and often use the scooters in stores. Have permanent handicapped plates on my vehicles. Some days, I get around just fine when first parking at a store, but before finishing shopping, I have to get a scooter to check out and get to car.

One day, late in the day after doing a lot of walking, I had one more stop for milk (always at the back of the store). It was scooter time. I parked in a handicapped spot. Got out, got my cane. A person (I couldn't call her a lady) said to me: 'why are you in a handicapped spot? You don't appear to be handicapped'. I had my pat answer to that all ready: 'and YOU don't appear to be an a*ssho*e, but looks can sure be deceiving, can't they'.
