Why be sexist about this? I'd also have a problem with men who do that! ;-)Women who put their makeup on while driving a car. Literally, driving a moving vehicle down the freeway.
Get your *** out of bed twenty minutes earlier!

The above reminds me - when did we as a society decide that women are naturally ugly and cannot be seen without makeup? Women have been conditioned to admire other women who never leave their house without their "face" on. There are those who brag that even their husbands have never seen them without makeup (which causes me to think their marriages are bizarre). Those of us who have decided that our everyday faces are just fine for everyday endure comments like "you'd be so much prettier if you wore makeup," etc. So I have to make sure I don't look like myself to be acceptable to society? What a screwed up world we live in.
But yeah, don't put it on in the car, or at least wait until a red light.
I agree 100%. And I think women are at fault more than men for women feeling pressured to always look their best and wear makeup and have their hair done all the time.
I wish my wife would not wear makeup as much and I wish she would just not do her hair and wear her hat more often. I think she looks good no matter what and I hate always having to wait for her to get ready but she feels the need to look her best at all times when she leaves the house (kind of a keeping up with the joneses type thing I think) and is always concerned of what people (random strangers mostly) think about her. Even if we are just going camping or hiking.
Just last week we were camping and we decided to go to the lake and I got everything read to go (fishing gear, stuff for our dog and for our daughter, food, drinks, etc) and was waiting for her, like usual, and I look in the trailer and she is curling her eyelashes. To go fishing at the lake. Wtf.

I tell my wife all the time not to wear makeup, and she rarely does.
She does have occasions where she likes to wear it, just because it’s a part of dressing up. Just like how I don’t wear a suit to work in a tractor.
Yeah but it’s not just that black and white. There are degrees. I don’t mind a little but when my wife starts going heavy on the lipstick, I’m like wtf???? Are we going to the circus?

My theory is that it's a relic of evolution. Many species compete for the strongest male, and much of that obviously includes competing with other females. Women are wired that way and it's hard to change your wiring no matter what the subject.
If you really want to look from the viewpoint of evolution, females prefer to mates with a variety of males, the same female can have different standards at different times, and different females exhibit different preferences.
It's not like female chimpanzees or bonobos wear makeup. Using evolution to explain a behavior unique (among primates, anyhow) to humans is usually a gateway for confirmation bias.
