No on the makeup, it’s purpose is to mimic good health and good genes, and at the end of the day it’s a form of deception. I wore it for a short period in adolescence but stopped because I felt fraudulent, didn’t look good anyways and hardly ever does. I had bad skin at the time, but it was still my own skin. Don’t feel like you have to wear it, focus on your health, that is real beauty.

I have transitioned my own wardrobe and find that I enjoy modesty more and more. A skirt at the knees or longer that flatters the waist with a blouse or sweater is a good staple silhouette and you can vary fabrics for different seasons. Even with my hair I find myself keeping it up in braids more often. My wardrobe was never that bad, but I am switching out my short skirts for longer ones.

For working out I would try some cardio or pilates you can do at home. The “fitness” weightlifting girl look is pretty gross, not very feminine, don’t feel like you have to do that. If you live in the country maybe try jogging or walking during the day when it’s still light out if you’re anxious about being on your own, maybe see if a friend will go with you.

I’m the same as far as staying at home, but if you already have a committed relationship I wouldn’t worry too much about forcing yourself out. If you have free time I’d focus on building valuable skills, some might be done at home and some out.
