Makeup habits

[MrsBunnyfoo]

When I'm out and about I'm normally fully made up. I'm big on doing my eyes at the very least. For me, makeup adds color to my fair complexion so I feel I look healthier and more alive with it.

For work, I usually just use some eye liner and mascara, maybe lip gloss.

If I am going out on the weekends I will usually also add some eye shadow, and actual lipstick.

I rarely ever do a full face of make-up. My work routine is - eyeliner, shadow & mascara. That is probably 4 out 5 days. There are quite a few days I don't put on any make-up at all.

I don't know if this will sound braggy, but I feel like I have a nice complexion and skin tone so I never really felt like I had to wear foundation or powder. Occasionally I'll dab some concealer onto a stubborn pimple, but that's about it!

I'll wear make up if D and I are going out. For work, I rarely wear it. It's far too early for me to put forth that kind of effort.

I look like a teenage boy without makeup. Zits and all.

ETA detail:
Foundation, concealer, powder, blush, eyeliner (top and bottom), mascara, clear lip gloss everyday.

I always do my eyes. And by always I mean for work or if I'm going somewhere nicer, not like the grocery store or my mom's house.

Eyes=eyeshadow, mascara, liner, and undereye concealer.

If I'm feeling froggy, or if I think there might be pictures, or if I need to look a little more professional than usual, I add in base. My cheeks are red, so I never do blush.

I despise lipstick, but I got some lip butter stuff I will wear sometimes, or the tinted Burt's Bees. I horrify my very southern mother, who won't drive up the road without lipstick. She loves to tell me to put lipstick on.

[Trouble]

The last time I wore foundation I broke out worse than when I was a teenager, so I don't wear it anymore. I try to wear eyeliner and shadow daily, some times lip gloss and powder. That is about it.

[lexxasaurus]

I always do my eyes - blended eyeshadow, fill my eyebrows, liner, mascara. I never use foundation, just a bronzer if I want to add some shimmer, and tinted lipgloss (or occasionally fire engine red lipstick) depending on what I'm doing.

Hi I am new! Dunno if there is an intro post... anyhow, I love make up, but I rarely get up soon enough to put a lot on for work. I usually use mascara, eyeliner, a little blush, and chapstick/lip gloss. I don't wear foundation because my skin gets quite oily, and foundation makes it look even worse. I wear a little mattifying translucent powder if needed. Some days I don't wear any make up, and just hope my glasses hide my eye circles. Once in a while a member will comment on how I look tired, but I just politely tell them I don't always wear make up. For date nights and concerts etc., I love to wear fun make up! I have a lot of eye shadows and eye liners, fun lipsticks, too... but don't use them nearly as much as my college and being the singer of a rock band days.

Welcome, and feel free to start and intro thread.

I'm in a rut again. Today I'm still sunburned, so all I have on is mascara and eyeliner.

I typically wear mascara and a lip stain. Lately I've added a shimmery eye shadow to the mix.

Wow, I wear more than I realized. Concealer, foundation (although now that my skin has cleared up, I mix a little foundation with my everyday moisturizer so it's not so heavy), blush, eyeshadow (usually), liner of some sort (either a pencil on my lower lids or some more shadow) and mascara. It takes about 5 minutes from start to finish, but I didn't realize that I was doing the whole shebang every morning!

I know what you mean! When you type it out like that, it looks like a lot more than it really is.

I would like to say that I would wear more makeup, but I feel silly getting all made up to walk with an elderly lady for an hour or playing with two young kids for 2 hours, you know?

I rarely put on makeup, only on special occasions.

[pinkwillow]

I usually wear foundation and undereye concealer (I have pretty bad adult acne), eyebrow filler (I don't over-tweeze, just have really light colored brows so I 'dye' it with a pencil), clear mascara to keep the brow hairs held in place, mascara and blush. Only when I have customers will I wear eyeshadow with UD primer potion, set everything with powder and put on liner.

For work and going out: eye liner, eye shadow, bronzer and lip gloss (sometimes mascara).

Weekends if I'm not going anywhere I don't bother with make-up.

[ILikeSloths]

It totally depends on the day, my mood, and what I have going on.

If I'm going somewhere specific like an interview or going out with friends and family then I usually wear foundation, blush, eyeshadow, mascara, and sometimes eyeliner.

If I'm just going to the grocery, running errands, going to the gym, staying at home, or doing outdoor activities then I don't bother wearing anything.

Mrslindy- Welcome! It's a great group around here. I've always loved makeup.

Duff- I know what you mean. I was looking in my makeup bag this morning picking out this and that when I wondered what everyone else did.

PinkWillow- I use the Urban Decay primer potion too. Good stuff.
