gtky: your makeup routine

picklesx · January 2011

Because im curious and so many women that i encounter always seem to have a full face of makeup (which is strange to me being that I only use eye makeup on a daily basis..I cant commit to using foundation or any face makeup short of a dab of concealer on spots when needed, anything more and i feel like i can feel my pores clogging! Is this weird?)
What is your daily makeup routine?
Do you wear makeup any time you go out in public?
Do you still put on makeup even if you don't plan on leaving the house?

EDIT to fix formatting. Oops.

junebuggy2004 · January 2011

I don't wear makeup, even the hypoallergenic kind, it irritates my skin.

LuckyLucy10 · January 2011

Unless I am going to a fancy party, I only put on light eye shadow and mascara. Occasionally I will also put on lip gloss or lipstick.

Mrs.Slick · January 2011

The only thing that I wear everyday is a moisturizer/sun protection. Other than that I might get some mascara on a few other days of the week but only get myself dolled up for date nights or when I know my picture is going to be taken.

SParkman80 · January 2011

I don't wear make up if I'm staying home all day or if I'm only working out. I use a tinted moisturizer instead of foundation and I wear a little eye make up!

HappyAardvark · January 2011

If I'm going out - to work, shopping, out to dinner or out with friends...

on a clean, bare face I apply a few drops of hyaluronic acid (is very moisturizing especially in winter), then smashbox light primer, then foundation (bare minerals), a bit of very light bronzer, blush on the apples of my cheeks, eyeshadow primer *or* a cream eyeshadow base, lid/crease color, eyeliner, and mascara. Lipgloss 99% of the time. Full face of makeup.

If I don't plan on leaving the house... hell nah. If it's a quiet day and I just have to go to, like, the grocery store, then maybe just some powder and mascara. And lipgloss. Always lipgloss.

kmadsen2004 · January 2011

I not a big make-up wearer. If I'm not leaving the house and sometimes even when I am (like running to the store) I don't bother. For work, I use a light powder and mascara. If we are going out at night or anything more than work, I will put on a bit of blush or a bronzer and a little eye shadow.

cantalopes24 · January 2011

I wear concealer liquid, under eye powder, full face powder, cheek and lip stain, bronzer, liquid eyeliner, 3 different colors of eye shadow, lip gloss and mascara. I wear make up every day, even when I'm not leaving the house. I don't wear much make up in the summer or when I am tan.

jaimelody · January 2011

I'm pretty much the same as you. I use eye shadow, liner and mascara on a daily basis and lipgloss. But I'm to the point where I really need some kind of concealer under my eyes but I have no idea what to try or use.

Jessiree · January 2011

I never leave the house without makeup on, but won't put it on if I'm in the house for the day. I use a tinted moisturizer with SPF in it and I always wear eye liner, shadow, and mascara. However, since I am so fair, my eyelashes are blond and look non existent without mascara, which is the main reason why I always wear it.

MrsMitty08 · January 2011

I like a tinted moisturizer with SPF 30 and then eye liner, shadow, mascara and I'm done! I really like the tinted moisturizer by Clinique.

If I'm feeling fancy or for nights out, I add Bare Escentuals mineral powder and some blush.

I hate lipstick so I only ever wear chapstick.

mango1583 · January 2011

I don't wear makeup everyday. I will go to the store with out any on. Mostly work days and when I go out with DH.

I wear Bare Minerals. I use the primer first. Love the stuff. Bruch on some foundation, a little warmth on the cheeks and Mineral Veil. Mascara. Eyeshadow and Eyeliner aren't an everyday thing tho. Take me less than 5 minutes for all though.

I love bare minerals because I never get the feeling like i'm wearing paint on my face.

psubride1012 · January 2011

I am a full-face gal - I will go out of the house without it if I have to run errands or something...and if I am not leaving the house for the day I don't bother putting it on. But I usually always have it on if I leave the house.

I love smash box photo finish. Do you use Urban.Decay eye primer? It came in a shadow kit I got and I love it.

brookelynpaisley · January 2011

At the very least I wear a little foundation, loose powder, lip gloss and mascara. If I'm not lazy, I also wear eye shadow and liner. I don't put make up on if I don't intend to leave the house, and even if I'm just running errands I sometimes don't wear it. But I always wear it for work or if I'm going to see people I know.

I've tried it, but I like Trish McEvoy's Eye Base Essentials better... I find it doesn't cause any of my eyeshadow colors to change color when I put them on over top of it (huge peeve of mine w/shadow primers), and really holds the shadow onto my lids longer than anything else. It has a nice consistency and is really blendable with your finger, but I still use a cream shadow brush for more precision.

leathersmel4 · January 2011

I used to wear makeup ALL the time....At least foundation and powder(I have a horrible complexion.)

My skin has been clearing up, so I haven't been wearing as much...

But my makeup routine when I do wear it usually is a light coat of foundation, a loose powder, some blush(light), eyeliner(thin, not bold), neutral eye shadow, and mascara.

Wow, that sounds like a lot...but really it only takes about 5 minutes for me to apply.

kujayhawkgirl · January 2011

I use Bare Minerals products. I just use the loose powder foundation, glee (blush), and mascara -- it takes me about 5 minutes. I also use Aveeno facial moisturizer. I don't wear makeup if I'm just staying home or running a few errands. If we're going out on a date night or some other fancy occassion, I'll also wear some eye shadow, and more blush.

I use Boi-ing by Benefit as an undereye concealer. I have also tried the double ended concealer/highlight pen from Maybelline and that gave me some nice results too but I have found that the former is easier to blend and the application is quick. The benefit stuff is I think around $20 but it lasts forever and I think its worth it for me.

bwe1100 · January 2011

I need to start wearing lipstick and tinted moisturizer daily, but right now my routine is just lip balm. (if Chapstick Medicated - the light blue one - is ever discontinued, I may die)

Jenny92207 · January 2011

Usually during the winter its tinted moisturizer SPF 30, loose powder, eye shadow and mascara... Maybe some pink in the cheeks if I'm headed out. Summer...SPF 30 eye shadow and mascara. If I'm at home or during the weekend nothing.

ixnay · January 2011

I usually do Mary Kay foundation, powder, light eye shadow, mascara, and Burt's Bees chapstick. I'm self-conscience without make-up after years of fighting bad skin, but I don't wear it for just around the house and sometimes I'll run an errand without it.

I'm curious--those who do a tinted moisture, what brand is it?

brandywine2010 · January 2011

I am a makeup whore! I will leave the house without it, but it is rare. If I'm running or working out I don't wear makeup. Also, I don't wear it when I'm hunting.

My everyday routine is:

Estee Lauder Idealist for my enlarged pores. Day Wear SPF 30 moisturizer. Liquid foundation, blush, finishing powder on my face. Full eyes everyday with brows, eyeshadow, mascara and a highlighting concealer. I wear lipgloss and sometimes lipstick. In the summer, I skip the foundation and just use finishing powder and bronzer.

I can't live without my mascara. I have blonde lashes and brows, so they look non-existent without makeup.

jchanth · January 2011

i LOVE wearing makeup. I just have fun doing it. I put on a moisturizer/primer, then foundation and powder, bronzer/blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara, and fill in my brows. If i'm staying home i usually won't do anything just to let my skin breathe. If i just feel like being lazy, i'll do my foundation, blush, and some mascara.

onesandtwos · January 2011

I use a combination of Bare Minerals products depending on how my skin looks that day. Sometimes I can get by with just a little blush, but usually I need the whole gamut--primer, foundation, powder, and bronzer. I never leave the house without mascara and lip gloss, regardless of what I use on my skin. I usually don't put makeup on if I'm staying home, but sometimes I like to get pretty for DH, even if we're going nowhere!

I use Laura Mercier and I love it!

Teffie · January 2011

I typically don't leave the house with no makeup on unless I'm going to the gym. Most days I do my eyes (shadow, liner, mascara) and then just some poweder and bronzer on my face. During the winter I will sometimes use Bare Minerals foundation for work as well.

If I'm just staying home and I know DH will be here I'll still do some lighter makeup on my eyes. Just makes me feel better I guess.

I never ever wear lipstick. I can't stand it.

Katie829 · January 2011

I have horrible skin, so make up is a must.

I wear make up forever HD foundation and MAC studio fix powder. Cannot use anything mineral because it makes my face itchy.

For eyes, I use lots of different MAC colors, but I recently just got the Naked UD palate and I love it. I tend to wear either brown or eggplant liner on the top lids. I use Dior mascara.

I hate lip gloss, but love chap stick.

lynn0926 · January 2011

I wear makeup everyday unless I am just staying in. I wear foundation, eye shadows, eye liner, mascara, brow color (not pencil) , and blush or bronzer. I only wear gloss when going out.

psychgirl33 · January 2011

I always have makeup on, but to be honest it's because I'm too lazy to take it off. I remove it every morning when I shower and then reapply as soon as I get out of the shower. Embarrassed

Everyday: I wear moisturizer, eyeliner, mascara, and Chapstick.

When I am going out or want to look nice, I do moisturizer, Almay Smart Shade foundation, mineral powder, blush, eyeshadow, liner, mascara, and lip stain (I can't stand how lipstick feels on my lips).

The only thing that I splurge on is my eyeliner. I have to have Stilla Kajal liner.

julieb1218 · January 2011

If I know I am not going anywhere or just running errands around my area (grocery store, etc) I won't wear makeup.

My normal daily routine when I am going out or for work is Clinique moisturizer, Clinique pressed powder, a little bronzer, eyeshadow (3 colors, all subtle though), eyeliner, mascara (on bottom only, I have lash extension so no need to wear on top Smile ) and lipgloss.

tigerhearted · January 2011

What is your daily makeup routine?

Since I SAH, I only wear make-up when I feel like it. If I feel like it, or if I'm going somewhere, then I wear vegan mineral foundation powder from everydayminerals.com (my face breaks out with anything else), and some blusher. I wear eye-shadow about half the time. And I wear mascara about half the time I wear eye-shadow because my eyes get really irritated from mascara...I just found some all-natural vegan mascara on etsy, which I'm eager to try. Hopefully it'll work out, because I love how mascara looks.

Do you wear makeup any time you go out in public?

Most of the time I do, but not all of the time. I definitely do if I have some spots to cover up.

Do you still put on makeup even if you don't plan on leaving the house?

Sometimes. Most of the time I don't, but sometimes it's fun to get made up even if I'm not going anywhere.

lilmrsT86 · January 2011

Daily around the house : None

Out in public : Lorac foundation, bare minerals powder, blush, eyeshadow trio, eye liner, mascara, lip gloss

summer/beach : tinted SPF Big Smile

somnybooks · January 2011

I wear MAC foundation, concealer, bronzer, sometimes blush, eyeshadows, eyeliner (only on top), mascara, and a finishing powder. Nothing on my lips (except chapstick) unless I am going somewhere fancy. I will go out to run errands w/o makeup but usually like to at least put on foundation and mascara. I do not wear makeup when I am staying in.

I have terrible dark under-eye circles. The best stuff I have found is Bobby Brown creamy concealer kit. It comes with loose powder to set the cream. I don't leave home without it.

I never leave home without the above concealer, mascara and lipgloss. My usual routine is Bare Minerals (foundation, warmth, and blush), liquid eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, brow color (powder), loose powder, and lipgloss.

shediva1 · January 2011

Do you wear makeup any time you go out in public?

Yes, but if I'm lazy I'll just put on my foundation, mascara and brows

Do you still put on makeup even if you don't plan on leaving the house?

Sometimes, if I feel like a pick me up even when I'm home I'll put on light makeup.

Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer is the best. It makes your face look flawless without looking like you have makeup on.

I then lightly apply Clinque's Superpowder compact with a blush brush so that it isn't caked on and just takes the shine away. If I have circles I use Laura Mercier's Secret Camouflage. I put a touch of Neutrogena blush on. I always curl my lashes with Shu Umera's curler (amazing) and use Dior's Show masacara. For lips, I just like gloss.

That's true, but that's why I like it lol. Its got a golden tint to it and I west it with gold/metallics or even just by itself.

jamieRN · January 2011

I wash my face twice with dove soap, and wear spf 15 moisturizer everyday. Usually clinique pressed powder, clinique blush, and mabelline volume express mascara, and the light blue medicated chapstick. if i'm getting dressed up i do foundation, eyeliner, brow color, and shadow, with lipgloss. i used to wear eye base, but kinda got out of the habit. i'd like to start wearing it again though., it just makes my eyes look so much more awake and bright.
