Do You Wear Makeup When You’re Sick?

Do you wear makeup when you’re sick? I was actually worried about getting sick this weekend because I’m in Seattle this week and between travel, small confined spaces, and the brutal cold I was positive I’d get ill. Ironically turns out Seattle is a little warmer than New York (not by much!) and I ended up getting a cold before I left home (I started sneezing on Saturday and it just went from there).

Yuk!

I hate being sick.

And wearing makeup when I sick?

Hate it but…

I do wear makeup when I’m sick even though I don’t want to. Typically down the sides of my nose are super flaky and even scaly when I’m sick because I’m glowing my nose constantly and the area gets raw after a while. I already have dry skin but being sick seems to make it even worst. Not to mention I get brutally chapped lips when I’m ill. This all makes for messy makeup application.

If it was up to me I’d throw my comforter over my head and sleep until I feel better. But in reality, that’s not possible. Too much to do, too many things that need doing, life, work, etc…! But yeah, I’d totally not wear makeup if I could but I think I’ll scare a little child or two if I didn’t!

I typically apply the whole lot in most cases. Eyeshadow, mascara, foundation, concealer, blush, etc…..but if I’m feeling REALLY, really bad, I’ll just do a little concealer and cheek stain and call it a day.

How about you?
