How much makeup do you wear and when do you wear it?

Mandmeesh

Foundation, blush, eyeliner, mascara and tinted lip balm. Every single day.

sarenu1

Mascara and tinted lip gloss for work. I don't have time for anything else.

CLLDLL

No makeup on a normal day. Powder, lip gloss and a touch of mascara for something special like date night or a big presentation at work. The only time I do full makeup is for weddings I'm in, funerals, and formal family pictures.

Depends on what I'm wearing on the look I'm going for. Typically day to day I'll wear some mascara and tinted lip balm. On a day I want to look pretty I'll do foundation, concealer, blush, eyeshadow, brow filler, eye liner (liquid or gel), and better mascara. When I go "full face" or night time I'll use primer, fake eye lashes, lip liner, lipstick, bronzer, and contouring powder. I have varying ranges of make up.

Rarely worn on the weekend. Partly out of laziness, partly to give my skin a break. SPF face cream every day, though.

When I do wear makeup (most weekdays), it's foundation, a little tinted powder/blush, and mascara. Sometimes eye shadow and tinted lip bam, if I'm feeling fancy.

I have really reactive, sensitive skin so I wear foundation and concealer if I'm going to br at an important event or some public places. I will skip it if I'm just with close family or friends though. And then on date nights or special occasions (or before when I was working) I would also wear blush, mascara and sometimes eye shadow.

Oh sure. But stringy doesn't get the silent treatment for that?

Powder, eyeliner, mascara, tinted gloss. Every day.

tjkdlhb

usually only if I'm going to a wedding.

powder, blush or bronzer, mascara, eyeshadow, lipstick/gloss... It *might* be once or twice a year at best.

Sometimes I'll use cornstarch as powder or  cocoa powder as a bronzer... but it's rare that I even do that.

joyfultrex

No make up normally. mascara and eye shadow for things like weddings. sometimes.

Assface and I are dear friends, TJ.

Into+the+Kitty

I wear a BB cream, powder, and mascara if I'm just out running errands. I do the whole full makeup thing rarely anymore.

kz's_girlygirl

On no-makeup days I wear Garnier BB cream, plus powder (MAC studio fix) and blush.

Most days I wear foundation (philosophy miracle or mufe matte velvet), powder (MAC studio fix), bronzer/blush, MAC paint pot in 'painterly' or 'constructivist,' and mascara.

If I'm seeing friends/ shopping or we are going out for dinner I add eye shadow and liner and fill in my brows.

I makeup.

Does the powder help with shininess? I like my Bb cream, but I always look sweaty bc of the sunscreen in it. Would powder on top help me?

I use smashbox BB cream, which IMO has a pretty matte finish. I use physicians formula translucent powder over it just to set it, so it would help with yours to set it and also should look less shiny.

CC cream, mascara, and lip gloss- if I am going out of the house.  

Foundation, powder, eyeshadow, mascara, blush, bronzer, and lip gloss- for special things.

Add eyeliner and subbing lipstick- for really special things.

Good to know. I will try this next

Rimmel also has a matte powder that is super cheap- (I usually have a dewier than I would like finish with my bb cream.)

I like wearing makeup but I can barely get a shower every day right now. Ifwe are leaving the house, I try to take 1 minute to brush on mineral powder and mascara.

Brandiewine11

When I was working I wore foundation (bare minerals) and mascara every day. Now I just wear a tinted moisturizer with a little powder most days. I do more if we're going out to dinner or something.

Maybe I'm behind, but what is BB cream? CC cream? I've heard of them but I have no idea what they are. Please educate me.

mrshudson618

Nothing normally.
Special occasions I wear light foundation, mascara, light eyeliner, an blush.

JEPES1348

Foundation and mascara. Add blush for weddings. I'm a minimalist when it comes to make up.

ElleBeeDub

I don't even remember the last time I showered right now... For work, tinted moisturizer, powder, eyeshadow, mascara, blush, lip gloss. (Same for date nights, etc...) When I'm at home or running errands, nothing (unless I need a little pick me up)

countrycotton

Only when I go to town, so once a week. Bare minerals foundation, countour powder, mineral vail, blush, eye shadow and mascara. For dates or special occasions ad eyeliner and lip gloss.

KLXVI

I wear BB cream and mascara every day even if I don't leave the house. I might add eye shadow if I'm feeling fancy and only use eyeliner for special events.

Sgriff1

If I don't leave the house no make up (doesn't go well with the sweats I refuse to change out of). Leaving the house... Liquid concealer, powder, bronzer, mascara. For work, everything I just said plus eyeshadow and liner.

Ok, note to self. I need a BB cream. Looks like a trip to Sephora for me.

sasq09

I don't wear makeup unless I'm going to work or out with friends. I just don't have time to put makeup in to run errands. When I do I use bare minerals foundation and blush and eye shadow/liner /mascara. If I'm really short on time foundation and mascara is it.

freezorburn

I pretty much only wear makeup for special occasions/holiday gatherings. Last year I switched to bare minerals, and I like how it goes on only I have to moisturize a ton first. Actually that incented me to get heavier stuff for my daily moisturizing -- I guess my skin type changed PP and I hadn't realized it. I only do foundation, a bit of eye shadow and maybe some lipstick. I'm leaning towards neutral/nude colors these days, I don't like to look made up.

Note to self: Google BB cream.

rbtrumpet

nothing.

I try to put it on for weddings/date night/etc...but I'm so out of practice, it doesn't look good (also most of my makeup is super old, and I don't want to buy new stuff for the 1-2 times/year I use it).  So yeah, I just don't wear any now.

Since getting my hair chopped off, I feel the need to wear a little make-up.

That and I'm now getting Ipsy bags.  I'm not sure how long I'll keep getting them.  But its like a little make-up/pamper treat every month for $10.

Last month I got lip gloss, nail polish, finishing powder, deep conditioner, and an eye liner.  I like the eye liner and lip gloss.  I haven't had time to try the nail polish yet.  The finishing powder is nice because it's sample size and I only wear BB cream once a month, so it's the perfect size.

This month I'm getting a nude lipstick (excited about this), highlighter (going to give this one away), lotion (great for work), mascara (I need a new one anyway), and facial cleansing cloth (sounds good for travel).

I'm liking it so far, but I'm not sure how long I'll keep the subscription.
