Makeup is a tricky issue with me, because there are the social norms around beauty and "looking polished" and then there are other social norms that I sometimes use it for, like "looking like I have had some sleep when I haven't" or "looking like I have not in fact been crying." So like what you said about "good hygiene" -- there are social norms at play, but they can be complex ones.
