Just curious. Ladies, do you wear makeup daily?


Quote  |  Reply
I was just wondering if everyone (ladies) wears makeup on a daily basis and if so, what do you wear? Do you wear it on days when you are mostly just at home? I love makeup but most of the time lately I don't see much point in putting it on seeing that I don't have a job...I have friends who wear full makeup every day no matter what (foundation, powder, concealer, eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow, blush and lip gloss and/ or color) and I don't see the point of all that really...yet I love makeup and want an excuse to wear it at times. I was just wondering what others do.

I don't, but I'm a bit of a tomboy. Not only am I allergic to most forms of cosmetics, but I also see no need to waste my sleep putting stuff on my face. A little bit does look nice, and I will for a formal occasion, but in general I skip it.
hell no!

everyday I usually do the same thing if its just a normal day, top and bottem eyeliner, mascara, some white eyeshadow to highlight, and some pale/light eyeshadow on top takes me like 10 minutes.

dont bother with concealer and foundation and lipstick/gloss for  regular day takes too much time

I wear make-up to work ofcourse.  I'm in management and have to look presentable.  But on the weekends, I usually don't wear any unless it's some special occasion, like maybe going out with my husband or a party or something.  I don't bother putting it on to just run to the store or other running like that.  I use to.  But I think that's changed since I've been more comfortable with myself and feel no need to impress all the time.  Besides I think it's good to let my face pores "breath" a little.

I've had bad skin since I was 12, so I've natrually dabbled in make up since then.

I don't put on make up if I'm sick and not planning on leaving the house.  However, I will NOT leave the house without foundation/blush, as I've never had the luxury of having perfect skin by any stretch of the imagination. 

I am in love with Bare Escentuals, the coverage is great and it never looks like I'm wearing make up.  I've tried sooo many brands, this is the very best so far for me.

I have oily skin though, because it's a "powder" foundation, it balances my skin out really well. I never thought it would cover my red zits, but it works better than liquid. People with really dry skin probably wouldn't like this product.  If I wash my face before I go to bed and moisturize, I get zero dryness.

They have really great eyeshadows and blushes.  They have several "kits" available that come with a set of different things + brushes, they are really reasonably priced and you get a bunch of fun high quality makeup.

I don't always wear makeup.. Especially if it's a lazy day when I am mostly studying and spending time around the apartment. I do wear makeup if I am going to class, though it varies as to how much makeup I wear. Some days I stick to just mascara, other days I include eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara. I like to change it up. :)

I wear mac powder foundation...just a bit, mac fluidline eyeliner and mac mascara every day I work.  On weekends, I really don't care unless we're going out to a party or something. That's the winter.

In the summer I wear mascara and maybe some fluidline if I'm feeling spunky.  

Every once in a blue moon I'll do "smoky eyes" with some eye shadow and liquid liner...but really, that's like once every two months.

I can go without make up and it doesn't bother me, but I feel like I've "completed" my look when I have a little on.  The mac powder foundation just evens me out, most people think I don't wear foundation and in the winter my skin tends to be so blotchy and dry even when I use facial cream, so....it works.  But if make up was banned tomorrow....I wouldn't have a problem with that either. :) 

Hi - I do wear some kind of makeup almost every day. I look weird without eye makeup (I look 12 years old and I will be 35 in 2 weeks). So usually I put on a lil eyeliner and mascara every day but it just takes 2 mins literally. I do not ever wear foundation - I am lucky I have nice skin.  I also don't wear lipstick.

If I am doing "full" makeup it's cake eyeliner, pencil liner, mascara, some transclucent powder and a lil bronzer. About 10 mins total. I could probably stand to learn how to wear more makeup like eye shadow and stuff. But I don't...

I wear full makeup everyday.

Eyeliner,mascara,eyeshadow,foundation,powder, bronzer,gloss. 

Nah- not if I'm going to be home all day. If I go out then I will put on some foundation and mascara but I don't wear a lot.
If I have a blemish, I will put on concealer. I do put on eyeliner on the bottom lid every day and a bit of blush. Without the blush, I tend to have a pale skin tone, so it gives my face a warmer healthier glow. If it makes you feel good to wear make up wear it. But, don't cake it on if you don't need it.

If I have lessons, I wear mascara and a bit of eyeliner, plus some vaseline on my lips. If I have the day off, I wear vaseline on my lips and eyelashes (I have very dry lips! I NEED my vaseline!) and if I'm going out on the town, then the whole shebang comes out - liquid eyeliner, foundation, lipstick, vaseline, mascara, powder, eyebrow pencil, highlighter, and occasionally eyeshadow too...

i've just started to wear makeup again when i go out.  the air quality in this city sucks, and combined with the harsh winter weather, i feel like i need the protection. 

also, i'm almost 40.  time to grow up.
I wear a lightly tinted moisturizer with spf 30  everyday, a touch of mascara, and lip gloss, lightly tinted. If I'm going out at night, I might put on eyeliner and a little blush, and wear a brighter clolored gloss. But most people think I don't wear any make-up since what I do wear is so light and unnoticable.
I don't wear it daily. And until recently I did not wear any at all. Now I just wear a bit of eye shadow, mascara and sometimes eye liner. I don't wear any foundation because most of it makes me break out.
I wear lancome foundation everyday, even when I'm home all day. I feel naked without it, it makes my skin look fantastic and covers every minor imperfection.  Then if I'm going out somewhere I usually put on a touch of blush, some mascara and lip gloss. 

I want to try that mineral face powder or Bare Escentuals as someone mentioned. Foundation feels really gross to me, I don't know if I could ever get used to it but I like a clean, evened out look. I like powder...I am Greek, so naturally greazy.

I look so different with makeup on sometimes I am surprised at myself. I have found that men become blubbering idiots over me when I wear makeup, it's funny.

I have some mineral makeup, just small sample jars I ordered (for determining the right colours), the concealer is amazing, it covers up red spots from breakouts like nothing I've had before. I haven't tried it as foundation yet, maybe one day I'll get around to ordering a large jar for that.

Lately I've been really lazy with makeup for work, I don't really see people except on my way to/from it, so it doesn't matter a whole lot. Lazy days I'll just use the concealer I mentioned, and some mascara. If I have the time, or I'm going out somewhere else, I'll wear foundation, powder, mascara...I don't even really wear eyeshadow that much anymore (I think I need to try another colour), and I've pretty much never worn lipstick, I think it looks bad/weird on me, I just wear chapstick and maybe occasionally tinted gloss.

When I had bad skin there wouldn't be a time I'd step out of the house without makeup on, now that I've got it 95% under control I finally have some freedom. 

I just have to say..

I HATE MAKE-UP...i dont wear any. My face is all natural ....why cant girls/woman be natural for once????????????? i mean seriously what do you have to cover up/hide. And if its to "improve" your features then you should just be satisfied with what God gave you.

i have nothing against people who wear make-up tho..dont get me wrong...just people should be more natural and not so fake.

Edit: when i was a model in a hair show...the make-up lady put what felt like 10lbs of make up on my face...i swear that i just wanted to go home and wash my face! lol
I actually feel weird wearing make up, like if it's not really me or so and I have to keep my face in a certain position, ehm, not sure how to explain this, like I am all of a sudden very aware of my face, especially when I have lipstick on, well, I got very well formed lips anyway and they just all of a sudden feel so THERE, like a clowns mouth hehehe, ok I give up, I can't explain it any better LOL hope it makes somewhat of sense.....
