Low Maintenance Blues

I feel like I look pretty homely lately. The problem is that I don't have time to put makeup on, do my hair nice (or at all), and I work a lot so my wardrobe is mainly comfy pants and tshirts. I was looking up low maintenance makeup routines on google only to find that other people's version of low maintenance is my version of getting dressed up. Putting on foundation AND concealer AND blush?! And that's not even including the eye shadow and lip gloss. THAT'S low maintenance?! In my opinion, putting on foundation and concealer and blush is the beginning of high maintenance because it takes more than 5 minutes to do. They might say it takes only 5 minutes but that's a lie. Have you ever tried the so called "low maintenance" makeup routine? It takes me at least half an hour to do. Five more minutes and I might as well be getting ready for a glamorous party of some sort (not including the hair). Isn't there something I can do that takes 15 minutes or less and doesn't require any kind of overly expensive products? Is that too much to ask? Do I have to convert myself into some kind of prissy girl in order to look decent? Why can't people just think I look good the way I am?

And another rant... Why can't anyone seem to accept my natural hair colour? I'm trying to save money people. It costs almost 200$ to get a nice hair cut and colour these days and I simply can't afford that. I'd rather do other fun expensive things, but I keep getting questions asked of me like "when will you get highlights again? You look really good with blonde hair," and similar things. The real question is do I look that bad with my natural light brown hair colour? Is there something wrong with me or everyone else because they care that much about if I look dolled up or not? WTF. Maybe I should just sleep and rott in bed and then I'll only ever have to wear pajamas.

Thank you community natural foods for allowing me to be low maintenance. And F U as well because now that I am, no body likes me so I think I'll go and eat worms. :-P

Perfection is an arbitrary reference set as a standard to which all else compared to it is considered imperfect. Who decides what it is and why do we strive for "it"?
