What is your makeup routine?

[mac08]

What makeup (if any) do you wear on a regular basis?  

I am feeling in a rut lately.  I always think my makeup looks good when I get ready in the morning, but by mid day I think I look washed out and blotchy (which could be partly due to the horrible fluorescent lighting in the work bathroom), and my eye makeup is always a little smeared. My perception of myself goes from "I look reasonably pretty" in the morning to "I am the ugliest human on earth" by the end of the day, lol.

I wear it every day on a regular basis

Base, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, eyebrow pencil, lipstick...

[wanderingenough]

Primer, BB cream, sometimes blush or bronzer, mascara, brows, and a light shadow.

I sometimes get mascara flakes, but it's because I rub my eyes a lot. Until I figure out how to stop doing that, I think I'm stuck.

Eta: lipstick

[MrsAggie]

Ponds BB cream, concealer, matte powder, eye shadows (highlighter, lid, crease), brow powder/wax, pencil eyeliner for water line, liquid eyeliner for upper lids, blush, mascara, lip gloss/stick.

[pooh8402]

Every single day, bare minimum to be seen in public: concealer under my eyes and on any blemishes, mascara, lip balm.

Most days: the above plus blush, eyeshadow, eye liner, brow pencil, lip gloss or stain. I wear an eye primer under my concealer to hold my cover up and shadow in place.

[mac08]

I forgot to put what I wear: bb or cc cream, powder, under eye concealer, very light application of bronzer, blush, eyebrow gel, neutral eye shadow, eyeliner on lower waterline, mascara.  I usually just wear Chapstick because I am afraid of and don't know how to use lipstick.  I probably need to work on that because I think one of my issues is that by the end of the day my lips and skin seem to be the same color.

Try balm stains by Revlon, Honey color. It goes on easily, like lip balm and it's shaped like a pencil so it's easy to draw on. Then it stains your lips with color so you don't look dead by the end of the day. The Honey color looks light pink, but is a really natural looking "your lips but better" color.

Makeup question here. I want a LIGHT pink lipstick that isn't frosted/frosty/know what I mean? Anyone have a recc?

[tacocat]

Everyday: primer, foundation/concealer, blush

I'll do eye makeup for a special outing, but even that stays the same. I'm not good at the whole makeup thing.

[mac08]

Thanks, pooh8402, those sound great, I will definitely try them!!

[HoneySpider]

Tinted moisturizer, powder, eye primer, eyeshadow, eye liner, mascara

Sometimes lip gloss

Sometimes concealer depending on how bad my pimples are

[ginkgoleaf]

I'm low maintenance. Powder, sometimes eye shadow, mascara, usually just Chapstick. Sometimes I do blush and lipgloss but that's pretty rare. Oh and lotion with SPF in it.

See my post above yours. It's creamy. You'd probably like Cherish.

Oh, thank ya!

[ewall]

Bare Minerals powder, eyebrow filler/powder, mascara, blush, then a lipstick or gloss. I'm lazy so this works for me. I often don't bother with makeup on the weekends and definitely not on my WFH days!

[travelbug]

Concealer on bad spots, powder, eyeliner, (eye shadow if I have something going on), mascara, lip balm/lip gloss depending where I am going! Very basic.

I don't wear much makeup. For running errands I wear nothing but chapstick. My normal routine is powder, blush, lipstick, eyeshadow, and mascara, but I didn't wear eye makeup in months because it irritates my eyes. About 5 years ago I wouldn't go out without makeup fully done, but over time I adjusted to what I look like without it, even with occasional breakouts.

MrsMB My favorite lipstick is Crystal Pink by Estee Lauder. It's pricey but worth it to me because it's pretty much the only one I wear. It's definitely a "my lips but better" color. I've tried other brands like Almay, Revlon, Neutrogena, Covergirl, and the EL is by far the best.

[Skyesthelimit1212]

Powder foundation, eye shadow, blush, colored lip gloss. I try to hit the gym during lunch 2 a week so I reapply my make-up after the shower, but if it's not a gym day I could give a rats butt what I look like by late afternoon. LOL

[awick14]

I don't wear makeup unless it's for a special occasion.

[Deleted]

Tinted moisturizer, mascara, eyeliner/shadow, finishing powder.

Occasionally blush or lipstick.

ALWAYS mascara.

[estrellita]

The only thing I for sure wear every day is cover up under my eyes because I have really bad dark circles. I usually wear mascara too. Occasionally eye shadow, and very rarely anything else (usually if I'm going somewhere where I want to look nice!).

You're my girl! I was waiting for someone to say this.

[bk1]

I almost never wear makeup. I use Chapstick and that is it. 


When I do wear makeup, 99% of the time it is Bare Minerals powder, a little black eyeliner, and black mascara. *Maybe* once a year I put on more makeup then that. 


Eta: I never wear lipstick. Every tinted gloss I have tried turns my lips red no matter what the color is. I just use chapstick even with full makeup on.

[Blue Moon]

When I'm at home or just running around town I use under eye concealer, eye primer, bronzer and mascara.

For going out/work, I add powder, gel eyeliner, and sometimes eye shadow. I almost never wear anything on my lips because I hate when my hair sticks to my lips.

This is me so sure.

bk1 I don't wear lipstick really either. Sometimes I'll put it on, but I never end up reapplying it so as soon as I eat or drink something, it's gone anyways haha. I usually just try to keep some chapstick on!

You guys + Blue Moon should try Maybeline Super Stay 24 hr color. It lasts all day, isn't sticky, and doesn't dry out like other long wear stuff. I love it!

[spankswife]

3-5x year, for occasions, I'll wear mascara, eye shadow, and lip gloss.

I don't even own face powder or concealer.

I know this will catch up to me eventually. Sigh...

Sits here!  Definitely not a makeup person, never have been and likely never will be.  I used to wear it more when DH and I were first dating but he's a huge fan of no makeup- makes my life a lot easier!
