Are You Makeup Agoraphobic? (A New Study Says 1/3 of Women Are): glamour.com

The Daily Mail is reporting that a survey of 3,000 women has found that 1/3 of them wouldn't not go out to the grocery store to get milk if they couldn't find their makeup bag. And, apparently, the paper has labeled this "makeup agoraphobia." Another finding in the study:

60 per cent of women wear makeup no matter what--doesn't matter where they're going or if anyone they know will see them. And almost half said they'd rather go for a full face of makeup rather than go bare-faced, which means these folks would prefer going for foundation and eyeliner to do mundane things like take out the trash.

Oh, and one in ten women said they wouldn't allow their boyfriends to see them sans makeup, "preferring to sleep with a full face on rather than remove it at bedtime." Wait--what? Really? Some women are sleeping in makeup?

We've seen polls like this before--a previous one found that the number of women who wouldn't go out without makeup was lower at 15 percent. My guess is that's probably closer to reality. But, hey, I didn't do the study.

Glamour Article: What is the most important?

What’s The One Makeup Item You Feel Totally Naked Without?: glamour.com

I don't wear a ton of makeup, but when I skip this one particular makeup step, I feel basically as if I am walking around missing a major article of clothing---say, pants.

Okay, perhaps pants are a bit of an exaggeration. But not wearing this makeup item is like not wearing a bra. Which makeup item am I referring to? Mascara. More specifically, mascara on curled eyelashes. Without curling and mascara-ing, my lashes are stick-straight, so they basically look nonexistant. And somehow, these disappearing lashes really change the look of my entire face. I'm convinced of it! I remember the day I met up with Baze, one of Glamour's beauty editors, in the park last summer after having my baby. It was one of the few times I'd ventured so far away from my house sans mascara, and Baze immediately noticed that something was really different about me! (Well, other than the 20 extra pounds and the unwashed hair ... haha!).
