Is there anyway not to look half dead by half past four if you work

[MusterMix]

i get up
make up on and out of hosue by 745
i reffrech lipsick
by home time i look like a zombie

do you refresh? what makes make up stay and your skin not turn green and eyes red

[TheCongaLineOfTruth]

put cream blusher and moisturiser on at lunchtime?

A brisk walk at lunchtime is also good.
Drink more water maybe?

I think I need a paper bag by 4.30 most days.

[MusterMix]

i come home and think
"i looked ok wheni left"

yes cream blush is teh answer I htink. i have a nars orgasm stick i have in my bag but always forget to use. By the time you have eaten, done tidying up. weeed etc its all over

Lippy, a bit of Touche Wotsit (I KNOW you hate it) Pressed powder is my latest new best friend.

[CybilLiberty]

I hasten to ad I don't do this each day, just if I'm orf somewhere else.

[haventsleptforayear]

Not sure but would love to know.

On a business trip with a friend/colleague recently.

In the morning she said to me "oh, you look nice, I've never seen you with so much make-up on before".

I was wearing the usual, but this was 8am BEFORE any appts/classes etc.

The cheapy version rip off of Benetint is very good, it stains your cheeks and lips so stays on.

10 min power nap at desk

Bronzing powder, quick swoosh over reduces the greeny exhausted-ness.

[MrsBadger]

yy bronzer or blusher

I do it in the car before nursery pickup to stop people saying 'oh are you ill?'

[janeite]

Refresh? I hardly have time to BREATH as we have just half an hour for lunch. Today I just didn't bother with make-up at all - I don't advocate this at all.

[MusterMix]

lol i have all this kit in my bag - exp the old trusty no 17 grey eyeliner

but i forget to reapply.
SOME days ( when i have year nine) i realie i havent looked at myself all day and look ever so slightly demented.

[HeadFairy]

I refresh... quick swish of loose powder, a swish of blusher, dab of lippie and fluff up my hair. I put my make up on at about 9am before I leave for work and I don't get home until 11pm, so refreshing is essential. I would most certainly look a zombie without it!

[MusterMix]

right
i am invigorated.
I will be fab.

[hobbgoblin]

Bit of Benefit LemonAid and some RushHour on cheeks and lips does for me. v quick, little kit required

[badgermonkey]

Urban Decay Primer Potion keeps your eye make-up on ALL DAY. Today I put mine on at 7, taught all day, went for a 5-mile run when I got back and had to scrub it off in the shower. My eyeshadow was as bright as it was when I put it on. Genius.

[MusterMix]

no way?

real;y?
and grr at 5 mile run

[PumpkinsCantDanceTheTango]

what is an orgasm stick? Is that code for a dildo?!

[MusterMix]

yes i ram that on every day

[castille]

4.30 is good going in my book. I look rough within an hour of leaving the house some days.

Maybe my bathroom mirror is just supremely flattering and I actually never look ok.

[janeite]

Yes - Primer Potion is magic, especially in combination with Mac or Urban Decay eyeshadows - but it even makes cheap crap last a long while.

Which is best, Orgasm or Benetint? What is Rush Hour?

[saltyseadog]

I swear by Nars multiple in orgasm - it is the best bit of make-up I have ever owned.
Slick of carmex on the lips, touch up under eyes with No 7 lightening concealer and a dusting of transclucent powder and I'm good to go.

[MusterMix]

oh i KNOW all this
i knwo i know i know
its just lunch is 40 mins
add to that 5 mins off either end sorting/tidying.logging off
eating and its gone

[badgermonkey]

You look like a twat running with loads of purple eyeshadow on though. I just couldn't be bothered attacking my face with half a dozen wipes if I was going out to get redfaced and sweaty enjoy the benefits of exercise anyway.

God only knows what's in it. I suspect it's superglue.
