seems it's a novel but based on real people? so maybe true stories but exaggerated and not having to be fact checked?
There are different degrees of makeup. I wear a kind of minimal makeup at home for myself, apart from mascara and lipstick. My eyelashes are invisible-blond (my eyebrows are too but not quite as light). My lips are dark. I may have a vid call, I may not but it gets me into a routine. If I forget to wear makeup, that's OK too. My 5 min makeup is very high SPF, light foundation or TM, possibly concealer, possibly brow. Then some kind of one-&done eyeshadow and bronzer and/or blusher. Winter is slightly different.
I think it goes back to Covid. If I didn't wear makeup WFH then all my makeup would go to waste. And of course more work was done online including meetings.
If I go out (I mean not just supermarket or corner shop or park etc) I nearly always wear mascara too - apart from going to the dentist. Sometimes I will carry mascara to the dentist if I'm going out afterwards
. Lipstick is the last thing on the list - which was the opposite to my mother. I don't remember my mother leaving the house without lipstick, sometimes her only makeup

No I don't wear makeup at home, but I'm skin-cared up to the hilt at all times.
If I leave the house, lipstick will be the bare minimum but I usually do everything which takes me less than 10 minutes - light foundation/tinted moisturiser, one colour cream eye shadow, eye liner upper lid only, eye curler, mascara, brow pencil, cream/gel blusher, lipstick.

I'm in the middle of this book and keep wondering how much of it is true...I know the people are real but the conversations are not.
I remember Truman Capote as a fat little guy with a lisp...not attractive. but if you believe this book I guess he was attractive when younger? or had some sort of charisma?
just learned ryan murphy is doing this as a mini series
Feud: Capote’s Women: first on-set images promise high drama – and even higher hair
Ryan Murphy’s glamorous new series will tell the story of how Truman Capote collected his so-called ‘Swans’ – elegant, wealthy socialites – and then used their lives as fodder for a tell-all book

It depends on whom you're married to. Average Joe, what's the point? Billionaire: probably full makeup before he gets home or wakes up.
I actually knew a woman - very pretty - who was married to a guy from a very wealthy family. She did just what you said. he cheated on her and eventually they divorced.
I know a few models who married really well, even with all the hard work, they still divorce. Because the rich guys have TOO many options. They just do, every time they go golf, to a business dinner,...etc, there are always other guys introducing them to new models and movie stars. That's just the lifestyle of the rich and famous.
the husband of the woman I knew was actually out cheating with another woman while she was giving birth
I put on makeup in the middle of the night only when I'm doing Zoom business calls. I don't have a choice with overseas colleagues. It's only business appropriate. I wouldn't consider this "wearing makeup at home".
