My eyes are so bad I literally can't see myself in a mirror if I take off my glasses. So I only wear makeup if I'm going to be wearing contacts, which is very, very rare!
I work in sales. Full makeup is mandatory during the week. During the weekend it's mascara and lip gloss only unless we're meeting friends or going on a date.
It's been so hot and humid, not to mention I sweat more now after ds, that it just sweats off and if I curl my lashes they fall straight. My hair frizzes also. I seriously can't wait for cooler weather.
I used to always at least wear powdered foundation but now that I am home almost all day and don't see many people, I don't even do that.
When I go out (out could be a night out, or just a family gathering) I usually wear full make up, foundation, eye liner, eye shadow, mascara. MH gets upset that I only put an effort into my appearance for other poeple and not everyday (or most days) for him so I guess I should at least start doing liner everyday.

I only started wearing makeup in 2006, I was 27. Now I always wear to work or if we are going out. If I'm just running out and being lazy I'll only put stuff under my eyes cause I have wicked dark circles, and maybe some mascara.
I only ever wear eyeliner and possibly the tiniest bit of colour to my eyelids. I try to put liner on daily, but if I don't shower til late in the day I may not put it on if I'm not going anywhere.
A shower first thing in the morning and a bit of liner disguises my dark circles. If I shower later...the circles stay.
Just eye shadow, eye liner(upper lashes only) and some lipstick. I feel like if I don't have something on my eyes they just disappear entirely behind my glasses.

I love hair and make-up, but with LO here I have simplified. Unless it is something especially fun or formal, I typically wear to work or for errands BB cream, Bare Minerals concelear, mascara, highlighter, brow powder, and bronzed. Liner is 50/50. It only takes about 5 minutes maximum. I have gotten really good at putting it on in the car when DH drives places.
I wear full on make-up to work M-F and take it off as soon as I get home. I do not bother to put any on during the weekend unless we are going to some sort of function. If I need to go anywhere else, no makeup required!

I'm the same way, but I practiced a lot and can now put on mascara and eyeliner without being able to see myself. But if I'm wearing my contacts, it probably means I'm going to the gym in which I don't put on make up, even though I could.
Usually though, I wear powdered bronzer and mascara. Maybe eyeliner or eyeshadow for work or meetings friends. Nothing fancy- can do it all in under a minute.

Never wore it before LO, and still don't. The only times I can recall wearing makeup are: * dance recitals and plays when I was a kid * weddings (my wedding, or if I am in the wedding, otherwise not then either)
Maybe when I get older I'll reconsider but right now I'm too lazy and figure if someone judges me based on appearance they aren't worth it. (FFMC?)
I wish I didn't 'need' to wear it, but I feel unpolished at work if I come in without MU. so, I guess I wear it every day unless it's a stay-at-home-and-do-nothing day. tinted moisturizer, concealer under eyes, powder, bronzer, blush, lipstick, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara. plus curl my eyelashes.
If I'm making a grocery run or something, I'll usually put on blush and mascara.
Every day. For work it's pressed powder (a.mazballs! Doubles as a foundation but goes on like a quick powder! So easy and looks amazing), eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, bronzer. On weekends I usually do the same. I don't Have to wear make up for my husband by any means but I like putting forth the extra effort. It makes him feel special and takes me less than 5mins on any given day to do all of the above so I really don't see why not
I used to wear eyeshadow and mascara every day to work before LO was born. Then, something happened to my eyes during pregnancy where they started to burn IMMEDIATELY when I put any sort of eye makeup on so I got out of the habit of wearing it. Now my eyes are back to normal, but I still really only put it on if we are going to a special function of some sort.
At the very least I need concealer powder and mascara. That's about as far as I go for work anymore. If it's the weekends just running errands I skip it all. Today I wore eyeliner and lipstick because I had a meeting. I think my coworkers were thinking she really tried today lol. Good news is a lot of them have young kids and babies so they get it lol.
Simple eyeliner and mascara if nothing else, but I usually do a light foundation or BB cream and blush plus my eye make up. I almost never wear lipstick, but I might use a lip stain or tinted lip gloss.
Those of you that wear the BB cream, what brand do you use? Does it give fairly good coverage?

That's what pops into my head when I read that.
Just shows I'm a bit older because I assume that's NOT what you mean.
Usually though, I wear powdered bronzer and mascara. Maybe eyeliner or eyeshadow for work or meetings friends. Nothing fancy- can do it all in under a minute.
