If you wear makeup everyday, what do you wear and how long does it take?

[HickDead]

Inspired by the top 5 beauty products thread, would love to know what others wear daily. Was in HofF beauty hall yesterday and was fascinated by all the sales assistants with perfect makeup. Love anything beauty related! Daily I wear -

No 7 Stay Perfect Superlight foundation
Mac studio finish concealer
Rimmel stay matte powder
Nars Mata Hari blusher
Eyeliner on top waterline (one of the many I got with glossybox)
Clinique naturally glossy mascara
Maybelline Eyebrow gel
Maybelline babylips lip balm.

Takes well under 10 mins.

[dudsville]

I take about 10 min to do a low key "natural"look, but 5 of that is just evening out my rosacea-flushed skin tone!

[Justfred]

Foundation, concealer, powder, blusher, brow pencil/gel, eyeliner or eyeshadow or both, mascara and something quick on lips; a stain or neutral lipstick. Takes about 7 mins. I have to have my hair up, no nail varnish and ugly uniform for work so I like to put a bit of effort in where I can!

[RunRabbitRunRabbit]

What type of skin do you have?

I've got middle-aged pale skin with very pale eyelashes and eyebrows if left natural. My makeup take 10 minutes.

Eyebrows and lashes dyed about once a month.
Clarins beauty flash balm primer
Dior nude skin glow foundation
Dior nude air light diffusing loose powder
Dior blush
No 7 felt tip eyeliner
Urban Decay Naked Basics & Naked 2 eye palettes
Maybelline volume mascara
Rimmel lipstick
Various highlighter powders.

Rimmel foundation.
Cover girl or Rimmel powder.

Rimmel eye-liner.

Every day since I was 13 (give or take the brand)

Mid 30's, good skin. Pale eyelashes, blonde.

Takes about 5 mins.

Wear lipbalm all the time, chapstick et.

It's fairly low budget but works. I've worked in cosmetics and tried all the big luxury brands but don't see a difference.

[absolutelynotfabulous]

Foundation.
Concealer in shadowy bits.
Blusher.
Lightweight powder.
Lip liner.

All cheaper brands. Takes 5 minutes.
I do nails every day, but that takes longer.

[SausageSoda]

Mac Strobe Primer
Clarins under eye concealer
Chanel or Lancôme foundation
Chanel loose powder
Isadora Bronzer
Bobby Brown Blusher

Oh, and Vaseline on my eyebrows and lips

[clumsyduck]

5 mins tops for foundation brows and mascara sometimes bronzer

If going out anywhere more special will take a bit longer to do a more "glam" look

[Rufus27]

Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation
Avon Colour Ruch lipstick (or else Rimmel Long Lasting)
Clinique airbrush Concealer
Soap and Glory bronzer
Rimmel Special Eyes eye liner.

I sometimes experiment with other products, but always come back to these staples. I think I must be only person to have tried Mac lipstick and been so disappointed!

[ArieltheMermaid1720]

Foundation, concealer, bronzer (occasionally), blusher, powder, eyeshadow, liquid eyeliner, mascara and a chubby stick or lipstick. Takes me about 10 minutes or so.

[MadameJosephine]

No 7 stay perfect super light foundation
Soap and glory super cat eyeliner
No 7 dramatic lift mascara
Lipstick (at the minute in liking the no 7 one that was free in the Christmas bauble) or tinted burts bees lipbalm

5 minutes tops

[EverythingEverywhere1234]

After cleansing and moisturising;
Urban decay eyeshadow
Soap and glory supercat eyeliner
Rimmel pencil eyeliner on top waterline
Soap and glory archery brow pencil
Bare minerals Matt powder foundation
Soap and glory highlight
Lip balm
NYX soft matt lip cream

Takes about 10 minutes I'd say. If I fuck up my wings, longer. I've got lash extensions and hd brows so that saves time!

[DorcasthePuffin]

No7 stay perfect foundation
No7 concealer
Just a little Shiseido loose powder on my T zone
Body Shop cheek tint
Benefit eyebrow pencil
Benefit eyebrow gel
Body Shop gel eyeliner
A really cheap eyeshadow palette I got on holiday (two quid!) - an offwhite over the entire eyelid, then a darker colour in the crease
Darker eyeshadow/eye pencil to soften the eyeliner
Tinted lip balm

Takes 7 minutes - half of that is probably on the eyebrows. I've been doing the same routine for nearly 40 years, but the products have got sheerer and lighter over time. Make-up is so much better than it was when I was young, it's much easier to get a good finish in a hurry.

[DorcasthePuffin]

Ooh, I forgot to say mascara - that IS harder to find these days, as it's all false lash effect and very black (really ageing). I use that No7 one with argan oil in, in brown/black. It feels and looks soft and natural.

[ThisIsSylviaDaisyPouncer]

Primer over face
Foundation
Corrector under eyes
Concealer under eyes
Powder under eyes
Face powder
Eye brow makeup
White primer / highlighter for eyelids
Eye shadow crayon on top lids and underneath
Liquid eye liner on top lids
Kohl pencil under eye
Mascara
Lip liner
Lipstick
Blusher
Highlighter on cheekbones, lids, nose

That's just my work look (fifteen minutes), obviously if I'm going out I'd do my full face 😁

[stumblymonkey]

Benefit concealer
Estée Lauder powder
Mac blusher
Benefit highbrow eyebrow wax/powder
Various eyeshadow but usually Bobbi Brown in a neutral colour (cream, brown or light grey)
Lancôme black eyeliner
Benefit They're Real mascara

Takes me about 5-6 mins on the train

[SesameSparkle]

My basic 'natural' everyday look takes me 20 minutes! Quite a bit of that time is spent evening out my bad skin/covering spots/scars with a little concealer brush. The rest goes on quickly. I use foundation, concealer, powder, blusher (which I also swipe over my eyelid creases), eyeliner, mascara and brow gel (the brows get threaded regularly and the gel defines them quickly, without needing to faff with pencil).

[Judydreamsofhorses]

I do:

Nars eye primer
Smash box face primer
YSL foundation
By Terry setting powder
Blusher - usually Nars, Mac or Bobbi Brown
Single pale neutral eyeshadow - Smadhbox or Urban Decay
Curl eyelashes
Mascara - Estée Lauder Doublewear or MAC False Lash
Benefit Browzings
Quick sweep of Hourglass finishing powder
Dry hair
Eat breakfast
Brush teeth
Lip liner - MAC
Red lipstick

Seven minutes, not including breakfast/hair/teeth cleaning. Longer if doing eyeliner, which is usually cat eye flicks, and I might chuck on some Becca highlighter too.
