Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
I don't understand the people who apply their full make-up on public transport.
I watched one woman get on the tube looking lovely and fresh-faced and then slowly transform to fully made up.
It makes me feel a bit icky, especially when the person licks a tissue to deal with a smudge on their face or licks the end of a brush. I don't like seeing the faces pulled as they apply eyeliner and mascara. But, I can't look away.
I really hate it when people comb and brush their hair on public transport.
I might reapply my lipstick in public but not much else.
What's the etiquette for public grooming?

I was on the train to Manchester recently and a woman was doing her makeup on the same table as me, must admit I didn’t think it was appropriate. A bit of a touch up and reapply lipstick is ok but not the whole works x |

I know! I only wear eyeliner, lipstick and add mascara if it's a special occasion. How are they managing full foundation, including shading, and drawing on eyebrows?

Were you drawn to keep checking progress? At least she had a table.

I might just be really weird, but I’m actually turned off by makeup. I’ve never met a woman who I didn’t think looked better without makeup than with it.
I think part of it stems from its overuse. I find that to be particularly egregious here in the UK. Ever since I moved here, it feels like all the women i’m seeing here are going full-on overload on makeup. You’re all way more beautiful than you think! |

I couldn’t not look as she was sat opposite me. It was very weird watching her do it as she used different techniques to me as well x |

A full face is currently fashionable. I might start another thread about my theories on that. Fresh-faced, which was made-up, used to be fashionable.

Perhaps that's it - they're showing off! I read a theory that the birds of paradise's ridiculously large tails, that prevent them from flying (or flying well - I can't recall) is to say; my genes are so good that even with this ridiculous tail I survive. |

Now, this is one where I have some  (not 'kissing' other cars, though). I do pluck my chin the car as the light is better. |

Although I’m sure your intention is good , you’ve forgotten something here . And that something is really important , that being that lots of women don’t put make up on to please you , me or anyone else but themselves .
So to say they use too much , and they look better without it is fine as it’s your opinion , but remember , they may not be trying to appeal to us . |

In nature it's usually the males with the big preening displays. Fashion seems to have moved us away from dandies to women displaying.

A woman I used to share a table on the train into the city used to apply her make up every day.
I found it almost hypnotic, there was a rhythm, a pattern, ritual if you will, to the way she went about it. For her it seemed to be like a kind of meditation if that makes sense.....
It was quite captivating....

But now, aren't you just kind of killing a conversation?
Of course it's all subjective and they may well be putting on the amount of makeup they like to please themselves. On the other hand, whether they like it or not (and this also applies to all other people with all sorts of desires), isn't it possible that they're affected by what they perceive other people to like? And whether or not they are, isn't it possible to meaningfully say you think they've got it wrong? In the way that art critics and fashion commentators do. And that doesn't mean that the "expert" is right.
Changing the topic - I have heard it said that when a guy says they prefer women without makeup, they don't realise that all women wear makeup out and actually they just prefer minimal or the natural makeup look. Is that correct? |

I rarely wear it myself but I find it absolutely fascinating to watch someone apply it - the precision and almost ritualistic aspects of it are really intriguing - it's methodic and almost hypnotic.
So I guess I don't mind makeup. Just don't start cutting your toenails on the tube people. It's  |

I don’t mind make up or literally no make up. I prefer if the lady is comfortable in their skin with make up or not.
I’m not picky. |

I always wonder what would be said(if anything..this is Britain/Uk..whatever we are)if I whipped out an electric razor & started shaving..pulling all those weird faces to get the last bristles & then my electric(or manual) toothbrush. All the same to me personal grooming is called personal grooming for a couple of reasons. If you don't have time...get up earlier! |

I think if a woman has a ‘look’ that she likes , and uses make up to enhance that look , she isn’t going to take kindly to anyone giving her a critique after she’s achieved the look she desires .
It may well be possible that she wants the look she has because she thinks that it’s what there’s want her to look like , but I very much doubt it . Ask a punk , an emo , a goth and I doubt any will say they look as they do because it’s what they perceive that society wants from them .
And far from stopping a conversation , I think I may have started one |

That's what that author of "The Artist's way" says about morning pages - but what if, as soon as you get up, whatever that time is, your children wake up and you have to hold them for the next hour? Or, what if there's always a risk your children will awake shortly, so you have to prioritise - you decide to shower, make coffee, deal with a few emails, write your morning pages, and if time you'll do some personal grooming, but that can always wait for the train, can't it! |

if I saw someone doing their make up or anything like that I'd just assume they were previously in a rush. The train journey is a perfect time to get things done.
If I was doing my make up on a train and some woman was eyeballing me I'd have to stop and ask her what the fuck she was staring at, but that's just me. |

Is it the private nature of it? Although, in public it's not private...

"Changing the topic slightly - we've seen a woman exfoliating in the spa at Rios. Was she in too much of a rush beforehand? It somewhat put us off the place. "
I don't like Rios anyway, but this adds to my reasons never to visit again.

When I used to.commute by train, i'd regularly do my make up then. Half hour plus on the train? Yep, extra half hour in bed and do the make up on the train.

Not a thing to do in public, so no, emails on the train too difficult? writing morning pages? |

I used to do full makeup and paint nails on the bus. To be fair, I usually had been doing overtime on the golf course first thing in the morning, so I would go to bed when I got home, slept a few hours, then got as ready as I could before dashing for a bus, and out to the town for about two |

I’ve seen more than a few folk in my local Asda donned in pyjamas and slippers. Best of all though was late last year in Sainsbury’s; I saw a woman wearing just a jumper which she kept trying to pull down as though it were a dress. She was only wearing a thong underneath and when she bent down for something, I didn’t know where to look (so I opted to stare at her arse of course) |

I usually put my make up on in the car, maybe in a layby or a carpark.I sometimes have an audience which doesn't worry me, I just smile at them and it scares them off! I'll sometimes add lippy in public but nothing more.My look is very much 'slapped on in the car' style accordingly ! |

I think public grooming is nowhere near as offensive as people who get on trains with McDonald's and the like. It smells vile. But I digress...I see nothing wrong with neither makeup nor applying it in public. |

It makes me feel a bit icky, especially when the person licks a tissue to deal with a smudge on their face or licks the end of a brush. I don't like seeing the faces pulled as they apply eyeliner and mascara. But, I can't look away.
I really hate it when people comb and brush their hair on public transport.
I might reapply my lipstick in public but not much else.
What's the etiquette for public grooming?
I don't like it either and wear Smashbox matte lipstick that doesn't come off without an oil based cleanser so no need to even have it in my bag.
Apparently, I'm being judgemental.
In for a penny... I don't get the people who go out in their PJs and dressing gowns either.

I recall wandering around Liverpool on a Saturday afternoon and seeing women in casual clothes, with a dressing gown over the top and their hair in curlers.... |

"Was once on a bus when the guy next to me thought it was appropriate to clip his toenails  "
I think you’re telling a porkie.......
This would be almost impossible in a moving bus and people on the bus would freak out immediately... |

There's a lady at work who insists on shoving her hand up her top and spraying deodorant under her arms then a quick spray up her skirt, in the busy staffroom... Go to the toilets and do that stuff please! |

Heck yeah why can't they get dressed?!
I don't like to see people grooming in public either. Seems to be different rules for the tube though. Seems to be a woman on every train putting her make up on. I always assume she's a hooker on her way to another client. |

She should really be careful spraying her lady bits as said perfumes are not good in such a sensitive area.
I now know this from bitter experience after I sprayed my goolies with Lynx deodorant earlier in order to cool them down.
....I subsequently came to on the floor with what I can can only describe as feeling much akin to the flames of Hades burning my family jewels |

"I might just be really weird, but I’m actually turned off by makeup. I’ve never met a woman who I didn’t think looked better without makeup than with it.
I think part of it stems from its overuse. I find that to be particularly egregious here in the UK. Ever since I moved here, it feels like all the women i’m seeing here are going full-on overload on makeup. You’re all way more beautiful than you think!
Although I’m sure your intention is good , you’ve forgotten something here . And that something is really important , that being that lots of women don’t put make up on to please you , me or anyone else but themselves .
So to say they use too much , and they look better without it is fine as it’s your opinion , but remember , they may not be trying to appeal to us ."
I didn't mean to cause offense on this topic, so I'm sorry if I did. |

I think her lady garden is fairly well protected, her VPL would indicate she is a big fan of the Bridgette Jones pants. The gussets of those things are usually reinforced |

I've done my make-up a fair few times on trains. It's nice to take my time if I've been hetic at home with the kids. Rather wait and do it peacefully with no interruptions. I've also done make up at the services half way through a road trip. We'd left really early and didn't fancy doing it first thing. I don't do eyebrows, contouring etc so doesnt take too long. Infact once a group of us stopped at a McDonald's close to Aintree to get into our finery in the toilets ready for ladies day. Guess some would argue the irony in that but I don't have an issue with it
But I think even I'd draw the line at clipping my nails, although I have painted them on the train. I did ask the lady sat opposite if she minded though due to the smell and she had no problem as she had done the same thing before. Time- lacking motherly bonding |

"I think public grooming is nowhere near as offensive as people who get on trains with McDonald's and the like. It smells vile. But I digress...I see nothing wrong with neither makeup nor applying it in public. "
I like fried chicken as much as the next person but in a packed train in the summer a family devouring a kfc family bucket...they were lucky not to have the content of my stomach as am additional dip!  |
