And what are your go to products?
E.g Cleanser, toner, moisturiser, foundation, mascara etc.

At the moment I have been reaching for:

St Ives fresh face scrub
Olay beauty fluid
Rimmel match perfection foundation
Rimmel stay matte powder
Avon eyeshadow quad in brown shades
Mac bronzer
Clinique mascara
Vaseline rosy lips

For my hair I just straighten it or put in a messy bun.

Wash with plain water and a Nivea face wipe
Nivea night cream (I get dry skin sometimes and this helps prevent it so I use it am and pm)
Revlon primer
Bare minerals original powder foundation
Coral coloured blush from body shop
Maybeline eyebrow gel, sometimes with powder
Max factor mascara

Hair is in a bob and I wear a hat for work so it's just washed every other day.

I only wear makeup when I'm going somewhere and I work from home so most days that means no makeup. I'm going to be starting postgrad in the next few months so that will mean wearing makeup more.

Go to products:
Garnier Micellar Water
Bioderma Sensibio moisturizer
Marula oil
Eve Pearl primer
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum foundation
Max Factor false lash effect mascara
NYX lip butter in Eclair
Burberry eyeshadow in Rosewood
Anastasia eyebrow gel
Peachy coral cream blusher from Elizabeth Arden
Guerlain pressed powder
Clinique eyeliner

On no makeup days I do all the skin care and just some Maybelline baby lips or some Dior lip glow. Always SPF 50 every single day no matter what.

I love these threads.

I use either Sanctuary hot cloth cleanser, or Kiehls face wash in the shower. A couple of times a week or so I use a proper exfoliator. I have a Garnier moisturiser but it's not great and I probably won't buy it again. I use a brilliant Garnier eye makeup remover though. I wear makeup every day. Benefit primer, mac foundation and powder, nars blusher, benefit gimme brow eyebrows thing, Lancôme mascara and a Rimmel waterproof kohl.

I get my eyebrows, lip and chin waxed about every 3 weeks, and I get my hair cut about 4 times a year. In between cuts I put on hair colour and trim my fringe.

Waitrose Pure Sensitive hot cloth cleanser in the shower
Una Brennan Vit C serum
Waitrose facial oil (just a drop)
Either Nivea Soft moisturiser if I'm leaving the house or Waitrose Pure night cream if I'm not (not heavy enough for night but too heavy for under makeup!)

Makeup currently:
Max Factor miracle primer or Benefit That Gal
Bourjois City Radiance or Diorskin Star foundation
Nars powder
Nars Orgasm blusher or Bourjois pink pot (can't remember what it's called)
Diorshow mascara
YSL lipstain
A brow powder whose name I can't remember

In the evening I take it all off with Johnsons baby lotion, then hot cloth cleanse with Una Brennan's Neroli cleanser, Waitrose Pure Comfort Serum, facial oil, Astral moisturiser.

I have pretty good skin but don't do nails, brows or hair often enough to look truly groomed!

Hi User, I switched from Creme de la mer to the charlotte tilbury cream and I prefer it (and it's price tag!). It feels so soft when I put it on, not as heavy and greasy as La Mer.
I only got it after they gave me a tester when I bought a lipstick.. was very impressed

Double cleanse with Pond's cold cream and Cosrx salycylic acid cleanser (or the Good Morning cleanser, if I feel like a change), followed by either The Ordinary glycolic acid toner or Pixi Glow Tonic with tea tree oil in it in a spray bottle spritzed onto my face. Cosrx snail cream. At night I may use either the advanced retinoid, niacinamide or azelaic acid by The Ordinary.

In terms of treats, I use the concentrated AHA treatment by The Ordinary once or twice a week, plus I mask regularly with generally the Superdrug acne mask, sometimes I use sheet masks, Love Lettuce by Lush, or Cosmetic Warrior if I have perioral dermatitis because it's the only thing that seems to calm it down.

Makeup is generally NARS tinted moisturiser, Collection 2000 lemon colour corrector under eyes, The Saem concealer, Tarte cheek stain in True Love, Barry M Strobe Stick, 17 Tattoo Me eyeliner (sadly discontinued), MUA Lengthening waterproof mascara, Revolution eyebrow pomade in Ash Brown, Cats Wink powder, NYX or Models Own setting spray, some kind of lipstick (often a NYX soft matte lip cream).

I'm not a very low maintenance kind of woman.

a.m., splash with lukewarm water, Olay moisturiser with serum mixed with Clinique City Block spf.
p.m., hot cloth with any mild cleanser, the ordinary caffeine dark circle thing, same moisturiser as a.m. Castor oil on lashes and brows.
I'm 46 and my skin has probably never been so good, although I have a few fine lines.
I waer make up everyday, no brand loyalty at all except No 7 mascara.

Morning - Una Brennan rose face scrub in the shower. Hair wash every day. Nivea on my face. Then, Clinique BB, No 7 creme blush, a little mascara and done. Evening, Holika Holika green tea cream to take off the makeup, hot cloth cleanse with Korean face wash and Pixi Glow Tonic to finish. I am not very high maintenance, but I do like nail varnish. My skin looks pretty good. Sometimes I will do a facemask; Una Brennan usually.
