Airhead 0 #1 September 27, 2002 And on a lighter note...for us skychicks who like to look good...What kind of cosmetics do you find have good staying power through out a long day of jumping (and maybe into a night of partying too)?!? I have yet to find good makeup that doesn't wear off or end up smeared under my eyes. I know this seems frivolous...But thanx anyways! I'd like to hear what you ladies find works for you.

Jessica 0 #2 September 27, 2002 I find that sweat really gives my face a healthy sheen! And in my hair, dirt and dust give me a beautiful level of control. But my number one post-beer-light beauty trick: Get everyone drunk as quickly as possible so, in their intoxication, they think I'm hot.

skymama 35 #3 September 27, 2002 Down here in hot, humid Florida I have just about given up. I apply make-up in the moring, so as not to scare anyone, and I get worse after every jump! Sometimes at night I'll take a shower and clean up at the dz. That really blows their minds sometimes when they see what I'm supposed to look like instead of a sweaty, frizzy mess.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skygal3 0 #4 September 27, 2002 yes, I agree with Jessica...nothing works better for me than a light application of Revlon shine control topped of with a nice dusting of post plf dirt...very sexy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBile 0 #6 September 27, 2002 Sorry to invade this girly thread, but I would just like to say that the only women who should wear make-up at DZ's are the Whuffos. I've learned that all skychicks are beautiful without it and don't need to put that stuff on their face. Especially you, babe.Gerb I stir feelings in others they themselves don't understand.

Michele 1 #11 September 27, 2002 They have not yet made the makeup which will work on me... Honestly, it takes far too long, and requires far too much staring in the mirror for me to look even presentable. So I just jump, and then go home. The cats don't care how I look, as long as I feed them.

skydiverchick 0 #12 September 27, 2002 I'm with Jessica on this one. Go natural. All the guys I know laugh at me when I wear makeup. Plus with the ratio of guys to girls in this sport do you really feel the need to try and look good? Mother Hen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Airhead 0 #14 September 27, 2002 I started out wearing make-up when I made my first jump, but haven't wore any since! I get nervous, hot and sweaty in the course of my AFP training and a long day. I really have become so laid back about it...The more I jump and the more often I'm at the DZ, I'm becoming more like one of the guys. In the course of a long day of waiting around and jumping, it really doesn't seem of much importance. But then again, I'm meeting so many interesting people and some really attactive and appealing guys... ...I still wanna look good, ya know what I mean?

skymama 35 #15 September 27, 2002 Everytime I don't wear make-up, people tell me that I look really tired or they ask me if I'm getting sick. So, the make-up gets applied in my case, but then I think I'm older than you all too.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riddler 0 #23 September 27, 2002 Women look better without makeup every day. And definately lay off the perfume. I don't like long, polished nails either, but that's just a personal preference. Natural is better! But shaving is still good Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfields 0 #24 September 27, 2002 QuoteThere's nothing sexxxier than a woman who is wet from sweat...whether it be at the gym, at the DZ, or on the dance floor. The Just-After-Sex sweaty look is also particularly excellent, and likely to induce a go-around. Make up is a waste, IMHO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 259 #25 September 27, 2002 Chapstik has excellent staying power. Hats cover wind blown hair. I go to the dz to jump, not to impress anyone with my fashion sense, cosmetic application talent, and/or hair styling skills. Not that I have any fashion sense, cosmetic application talent or hair styling skills... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
