To do my make up on the train?

It doesn’t exactly bother me, but I always think it’s odd. Either you care about other people seeing your natural face without make-up or you don’t, if you do, why don’t the people on the train count?

Maybe they should have a special makeup compartment on the train?

I think if it's taking you longer than 10 minutes, it's too much. For me personally. obviously everyone has their own preferences. But for those spending 1 hour plus doing make up, I just wander how it must affect your skin?

But on the train, no it wouldn't bother me. People can do what they like as long as it not hurting anyone.

It's fine. I saw a young woman do this recently. She got on looking fresh faced and got off like a beige shop dummy. (I'm very nosy and was fascinated by it as I don't own make up).

Doesn’t bother me in the slightest. I find it very weird that anyone would be annoyed or disgusted by seeing a woman putting on makeup.

It used to bother me until I stopped to think about why and couldn't come up with a valid reason! So now it doesn't bother me at all and think its fascinating.

Just impressed you can!

My coordination is so rubbish I can’t put make up on without looking like a 3 year old has been let loose in parents make up bag.

you do you and if this works for you - go for it.

far far more ‘antisocial’ things on trains that I see such as people using devices with no headphones or super smelly food - that would actually bother me.

A touch of lippy and mascara just doesn’t feature on my radar!

A bit ( very ) mean

Why do you have to do it on the train? Can't you wake up a little earlier or something?

I would find it odd to see a man shaving on the train.

I'm not sure why I don't like it, but it makes me feel uncomfortable.

People who put their makeup on during train journeys seem oddly vulnerable. It feels as though they are either narcissists (it is like a performance) or not that well organised. It's kind of annoying.

I really like it when women do their makeup on public transport 🥰

I would frighten people, and drop my makeup doing it on a train.
However if you saw one of my daughters you would be amazed, although she has reduced her routine now.

It used to involve, lots of foundations, triangles, and all sort of amazing layers .
But the end results, transforming, and very glamourous.

To be honest her lesser efforts now, are much nicer, makeup but better. 😊
She is such a beauty

because all that shit settles onto your brushes and slap.
But I live in hope that those putting on mascara on the tube will end up with a brush in their eye

Its a bit inconsiderate of others in my opinion, make up is dusty and can smell quite strongly. Its also a bit unseemly to be doing it on the train if you care about such things.

It isn't as bad as what I have witnessed before which is people cutting and filing their nails on the train, no I don't want to breath in your nail dust or have to bat away your finger nails as they ping about the carriage!

In old fashioned terms it speaks of lack of etiquette. In modern terms, a bit immature and chavvy.

I had a colleague who would file her nails at the desk and snort up snot sniffles instead of blowing her nose discreetly like a normal person you could hear her hoiking up and swallowing snot.

As long as it doesn't make mess and no sprays are used then it's fine.
I don't understand why it would bother someone in that case as it has zero impact on them

The only thing that would bother me is spraying (asthmatic, no aerosols in my house at all) or removing things from your body, tweezing/nail cutting.

We care about our appearance in places in certain places not others. The train isn't one

I don't like the smell of make up, powders are the worse. It irritates my skin and nose when someone is applying powders. Sprays are totally unacceptable. I think it's impolite to eat smelly food or apply make up but the worst is this woman who was clipping her nails on the bus ...

Mn is just judgemental of all make up I find.

The ones who do it usually wear an awful lot of make up, often in a way that they would look better without it.
It doesn't bother me.
Too much perfume or aftershave does bother me. I don't mean spraying it, that should not happen, but just wearing too much.

The only time it annoys me is when the smells, sprays or powder are flying around that isn't fair. There is opening windows on our train and having to breath in sickening sweet chemical smell is nauseating.

Other than that crack on.

I like seeing other women put their makeup on.
I watch surreptitiously though. It would be weird to stare.

It's Mumsnet - everyone has allergies and cries about everything.

It's unhygienic 😂 yes because being crammed in a carriage with 30 people who haven't washed their hands, touch everything and cough everywhere is so sterile.

It's a thing, it's a good use of time if you want to wear makeup to work. Literally not a single person on any London line would look twice at someone doing their makeup.

It still stinks of the actual ingredients.
