How Much Make-Up Do You Wear to Work?

StrawberryAlarmClock · January 2012

I was going to make this clicky but there are just too many options.

On work days, what all goes on your face after you wash it in the morning.....that's assuming you wash it in the morning. Wink

Me: SPF lotion, mascara, concealer, carmex lip balm.

Brady77 · January 2012

lotion, little eye liner, mascara, burts bees lip balm

honeybee111 · January 2012

tinted moisturizer with spf, eyeshadow, mascara, eyebrow gel, lip gloss

hmr22 · January 2012

SPF moisturizer, mascara & powder foundation

mrambo3 · January 2012

Zero. I barely have time to do my hair...

Jills83 · January 2012

Moisturizer, undereye concealer, bronzer, eyeshadow, mascara, chapstick.

btsrc5 · January 2012

lotion, loose powder

I never have worn much makeup

jlaOK · January 2012

SPF moisturizer, powder, eyeliner, eye shadow, mascara, blush, lip gloss

The sad part is that I WFH so the only people who see me are the daycare teachers and any co-workers I Skype with.

ElopeToHawaii · January 2012

A lot compared to everyone else! Lotion, concealer, foundation, under eye concealer, brow pencil, brow gel, blush, eye primer, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara. I usually forget lipstick but carry a few glosses in my purse. It takes about 7 minutes to do all of this, with kids hanging off of me. I don't spend any time on my hair (wash and dry it at night, don't wash, or wash and leave curly in the morning) but spend my time on makeup instead.

financialdiva · January 2012

SPF tinted moisturizer, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara

WinesNotWhines · January 2012

I'm trying to wear more makeup. My basics are: primer, concealer, foundation, blush, eyeliner, lip gloss. On good days, I add mascara and eyeshadow.

I feel ya!! I was in such a rush last week that I got the whole way down the stairs before I realized I still had my toothbrush sticking out of my mouth!

FortMyersBride · January 2012

Acne medicine (yes, I still get acne!) and tinted moisturizer IF I have the time. I'm rather low maintenance.

Me, too.

Thus, the daily concealer.

Mrs.Handy · January 2012

foundation, finishing powder, blush, eye primer, eyeshadow, and lip gloss

I'm surprised by how many people wear mascara. I guess I've never been an eye make up person. It just looks odd on me. I only wear mascara if I'm going out on the town, which rarely happens.

JessandIgli · January 2012

Lotion, liquid foundation, eye shadow, eye liner, and lip gloss. I'll take out the mascara if I have an important meeting.

Brian'sWifey · January 2012

Liquid foundation from MAC, I pencil in my eyebrows, eyeliner (upper and lower lashes), mascara, and tinted lip balm.

historychick79 · January 2012

Bare minerals foundation, warmth and sheer perfection. Cream eyeshadow in neutral tones. Tinted lip gloss when I remember. I developed blepharitis last year, and can no longer wear mascara (phooey), otherwise I'd do that too.

Thanks! I work in non-profit fundraising and the women in my office are always "done." Most have manicured or fake nails also but I don't have the time or inclination for that. I've been wearing makeup for years so I've perfected my very fast technique over the years. I can put on mascara while holding my 1 one year old and telling my 4 year old to switch the shoes to the correct feet. I wish I had a little more relaxing time in the morning, but oh well.

aehwch · January 2012

Very little. Face lotion, foundation, powder, and maybe mascara. I never wear lipstick/colored lip gloss. I have never been a make-up person (beyond the basics) and I feel like a clown when I pile it on

katiegal · January 2012

I was my face and use lotion with SPF. No time for anything else. I look like crap with dark circles under my eyes but I don't care. I'm a Medical Technologist and work in a hospital lab, no one (besides my coworkers) see me anyway. On the plus side, not wearing makeup during the week saves money! I love me my expensive cosmetics!

Ms5586 · January 2012

Today? Absolutely nothing lol - it was a busy morning and I wanted to sleep in a few extra minutes.

Usually it's concealer, powder, eye liner, eye shadow, and mascara.

QueSrah · January 2012

Moisturizer with SPF and tinted eye cream (if I remember) to hide the dark circles. When I get to work, I throw on lipstick.

mexicolombiana · January 2012

If I have no court or clients NONE.

If I have to show my face to the world, blush, some eye shadow, mascara and lip gloss. and DONE.

CrazyToast · January 2012

Tinted moisturizer w/ SPF, blush and mascara. I carry carmex with me.

seahorse102410 · January 2012

I NEVER leave the house without makeup on.

moisturizer, foundation, concealer, powder, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, bronzer, blush, lipliner and lipstick. I carry powder, concealer and 3 lip things in my purse for the day.

kms34 · January 2012

lotion, powder, tiny bit of blush and basic eyeshadow

KathrynMD · January 2012

I haven't worn much to work the last few year, but on my birthday last month we took soem pics when I first got to work and I was a little horrified by how haggard and washed out I looked so I've been trying to do a litlte more.

Basics for a pale person - concealer, cream blush, mascara and chapstick/lipgloss; if I have a little extra time, eyeliner too.

That's my one staple. I have blonde lashes so I look like my eyebrow waxer went overboard if I don't use it.

Matt Dvorak · January 2012

nothing. But only b/c I work from home and don't care what I look like to the daycare ladies :-)

Back when I worked in the office - foundation, blush, lip gloss. Sometimes mascara.

ASmallWonder · January 2012

The whole nine - moisturizer, foundation, blush, eye primer, 3 shades of shadow, liner and mascara. The only thing I never really do it lip gloss stuff. It comes right off so I'll put it on every once in a while or I stick to lip balm.

chillyupnorth · January 2012

SPF Tinted moisturizer, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, usually bronzer because I"m pretty pasty.

All this for me too, plus lipstick or lipgloss. I'm surprised so many people wear less -- I'm pretty average I thought! Are there regional differences? I work in an office in the city so maybe that makes a difference, but I wear makeup even on weekends. Weekends it's tinted moisturizer, undereye concealer, concealer, blush, mascara, lipgloss, brow pencil. I can get it done pretty fast. I'm up and out of the house before DD's up, which helps. I catch the 5:55 train every morning.

kj07 · January 2012

Face lotion and chapstick/lip gloss.

But I've never been a big make-up user.

Lexi & Orion's Mommy · January 2012

lotion, light cover up, thin eyeliner, eye shadow, mascara, lip balm

Pesky · January 2012

spf moisturizer. Right now that is it. I wear makeup on occasion.

Yes! I got the new iPhone and tried facetime with my sister. I almost passed out when I saw my face. I think I'm going to start doing foundation!!! Yikes!
