My daughter is one of those people, but I have been known to run an errand looking like something exploded on me...
I am going out to get nails at the local hardware store, NOT to get nailed! Although it did back fire last week, ran to get some milk and looked like I had just rolled off a train, and lo and behold there is one HOT looking S.O.B. in line ahead of me....there was no coming on to that hunk of meat for sure!!

I don't' wear makeup to work anymore either, unless i know i am having a meeting with other people beside the ones I already work with. I wore makeup when i first started working here 5 years ago but everyone on my floor is either married or gay so why should i put makeup on for them. But just like you once in a while when i decide to unchain myself from my desk and leave our building it never fails, i run into McDreamy pants somewhere. My mom is always on my but about how i am going to meet Mr. right while I am at the grocery store, she is always saying how can you leave the house without your lashes or lips on. I just tell her if I'm gonna meet Mr. Wonderful he is going to have to love me without the makeup because we don't go to bed like that or wake up looking like we were at a Vogue photo shoot.
Be comfortable and be yourself

If I leave the house without makeup, I always make sure I use my moisturizer which has SPF 30. As I am very fair and there's a history of skin cancer in my family, I don't take any chances with my skin. I usually wear makeup everyday. And you'll even see me at the gym with makeup, but that's only because I go to the gym later in the day, long after I've applied makeup. But I look just fine without makeup and have no problem being seen without it.

I'm not weird about it, but I will always try to leave the house wearing at least some mascara and lipstick, if nothing else. My rule in my head is always to look like you would want to look if someone unexpectedly took your picture while you were out. I think about it that way because I see all these pictures in magazines of celebrities without their makeup, looking terrible at Starbucks, etc. And I think to myself that even though I obviously don't have paparazzi stalking me all the time, I still would want to look as though I did, well put together and ready for anything. And, like you said, you never know when there will be a hottie at the grocery store!

I almost never wear makeup but I have to admit that I feel a lot more comfortable in makeup, then I don't look so scary :) During the week if I do put any on it's basically to cover up my blemishes and under eye circles, then its not too much.

I go out w/o makeup all the time...in fact, I wear very little other than 'special occasions' or if I'm going out partying...some eyeliner and lip color is all I generally wear to work or out and about.
My thought re: looking nice to meet men is: a guy we date is typically going to see us sans makeup at some point anyway, so any guy who seems interested when we're in our 'natural state' is worth more than those that won't give us a second look unless we're all 'dolled up'.

Oh the young! LOL I wear make-up to work every day and on the weekends I just don't feel like putting any on my face. Just to lazy I guess, especially in the summer month when it is hot and humid anyway, why bother? During the winter I bother more, even on a weekend, because I am way to pale:-).

Ya know from experience, I have learned be yourself. Everyone has days where they have things to do and can not present themselves so to speak drop dead gorgeous. Conversation goes a long way. Hotty in front of you and you want to talk...?? Just strike up a conversation and apologize by looking awful cause it is chore day. Believe me you are not the only person that has a house to run. LL.

I remember being little and being so frustrated that my mom had to put makeup on before going anywhere and I vowed that I would never be like that. Now I'm 25 and can't bring myself to leave the house without at least putting on mascara.

I do go out without makeup sometimes but I always try to look decent. It can be embarrassing when u run into someone you know and haven't seen in a while and you just wished you looked your best at that time.

I usually wear makeup everytime I leave the house, but my husbands has started complaining and asking me not to wear makeup, unless its a special occasion so I took that into consideration and am trying to relax a bit.
It's hard though, I sure like my makeup.
