Not necessarily so, according to the recent survey, which found that while nearly three quarters of all women wear makeup, 40 percent of these women don’t always bother to remove makeup before going to bed. The reasons for this beauty blunder varied: 12 percent of makeup wearers say they don’t need to wash their faces because most of their makeup wears off on its own during the day, while another 12 percent find makeup removers to be drying to the skin.

For real-world people whose wardrobes consist of a mishmash of mostly chain-store purchases that are usually snowing fair signs of wear (washed-out colours, stretched cuffs and stains in al the wrong places), replicating those high-fashion looks appears an impossible dream.
