On a SAHM day: lip balm. under eye concealer on a very bad day
On a work day ( public sector admin): Under eye concealer, powder, eyeshadow, mascara and lipstick.

Does ANYONE use all those things in the Lisa Eldridge video, ever?

every day (even at home) I used mineral powder foundation, bronzer, blusher, eye liner, mascara and on work days I'll chuck on some eye shadow too.

At home- moisturiser

At work- moisturiser, mascara and a tiny bit of foundation on edges of nose (always red).

Who/what is Lisa Eldridge?

Every day - primer, foundation, blusher, powder, eyebrow pencil, mascara, lipbalm

Work day - might add more blusher, eye shadow, lipstick

Hmm- that actually sounds like loads but it's quite subtle!!

I see a woman on the way to work every morning who does put on the full face paint. It isn't horribly obvious but definitely over the top for a normal work day.

every day - none. Moisturizer if needed. Lip balm with no tint if needed. Sunscreen if needed.
This means I can shower at night and sleep in until the last minute every day!

I'm curious to know why full make up is still required on a SAHM day. Not judging, but isn't it better to let the skin breathe every now and again?

If I am not seeing anyone other than my family I don't bother with anything other than moisturizer.

Primer, foundation, eyebrow powder, mascara, eyeliner, blusher and lipstick. Takes five minutes. Every day. It makes me feel better.

I just use foundation, powder (shouldnt but its a habit), blusher.
I have my eyebrow and lashes tinted to never touch them.
I dont often wear lipstick these days. In my 20's and 30's I was lipstick heavy and am finding it hard to find a shade that suits now.

I found primer doesnt stay on my skin...kind of hard to decsribe but it almost glides off

For a normal day, just under-eye concealer and mascara (and cover-up when I get spots) and Vaseline for lips.

If I need to be out and about out of the office, then I might use shimmery nude eye shadow, some foundation and powder as well.

For night, I do smoky eyes, kohl eyeliner and loads of mascara, and a pinkish Juicy Tube-type gloss. Or I do a shimmery nude eyeshadow base with a thick gel eyeliner with flick, and red lippy. Depends on how I'm feeling and the occasion/outfit.

Every day -- moisturiser, concealer, blush, lip balm and lipstick, grey eyeshadow and liner and often mascara. For nights I increase the eyeshadow level to smoky and always use mascara.
