	It seems that the primary purpose of makeup is to give a woman
	a psychological lift toward feeling more attractive.  Many
	people (men and women) have a difficult time believing that 
	they can be accepted as they are, and thus they make an effort
	to present a false face.  This falseness can be in terms of
	makeup, or it can be falseness of action (comman male approach).

	The ideal, of course, is that all of us would learn to accept others
	the way they are, for who they are, and love them that way.  It
	is not true, however, that most of us (me included) can not find
	some areas of our personal makeup that we should try to change.
	But these are personality traits, NOT physical traits.  No-one
	should ever be rejected on the basis of physical traits.  Some
	of do need to lose some weight, though.

	I'm off on a tangent.  My point was simply that cosmetics are
	usually a psycological crutch, and not something that really
	makes a woman more attractive (at least not to me - I am repulsed
	at the way most women who wear the stuff wear it).
