What make up do you put on, daily?

Just wondering. I just normally wear eyeliner, mascara and some blusher. I put concealer where I need it and that's it. Im 46. Do you wear foundation daily? I used to wear it and then I ran out and haven't bought more yet...but sometimes it worries me that if people get used to me with it on...then when I cant be bothered [ and I have days like that] then they will think I look awful!!!!

BB cream. It's really good for evening things out, like my stupidly sunburnt nose.

Uh, all of it usually. Foundation, blusher, powder, eyeshadow and mascara. I don't often bother with eyeliner or doing my eyes 'properly' unless I'm going out at the weekend but everything else goes on.

I look wretched without makeup.

None. Never really learned how. At 54 I'm beginning to think I'd better start.

Eyeliner as minimum. Full slap would be Clinique light foundation, very sparingly used, eyeliner, mascara and tinted lipgloss.

Foundation, loose powder, brow gel (to tidy) and mascara every day. If going to work/out somewhere special, I also wear eyeliner, eye shadow & blusher.

Do you think you need more make up the older you get...or less?

Every day, foundation, concealer, mascara, eye shadow, eye brow pencil blusher - if I'm going out I'll add eye liner and highlighter

Wear whatever you feel comfortable with, just because other people wear more or less doesn't mean you have to :)

I am old - nearly 60 & I put on tinted lip gloss most days.

Beyond that I don't bother.

Take me as I am, warts & all & all make up seems to highlight the warts!

I didn't wear make up at all until about two years ago (I'm 26) but now I wear it every day:

  • foundation, powder for everyday and I have a cream one for 'going out'
  • blusher
  • mascara


That's minimum, if I'm going out for lunch or for an interview or I just want to feel better I will wear eye shadow and eyeliner and maybe a lipstick.

It sounds like such a lot, but I don't think I look like I'm wearing make up...

Concealer under eyes, powder to set it, mascara and a bit of blusher. Eyebrow pencil if I have time.

Primer and eyelid primer. Illuminator and foundation followed by powder. Eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara and lipstick.

I'm a reasonably recent convert to wearing more make up since I kicked stbxh out two years ago. Before then I was always too ground down to bother but nowadays I like to make an effort. Just for me.

Sanctuary bb cream, mascara that's it usually, lippy and eye shadow for evenings and lunches etc. I tend to go for 'natural' look.
