How often do you wear make up?

Every day,even if I'm not going anywhere or seeing anybody. Just tinted moisturiser, mascara,bit of blusher, eyeliner.
I'm a pale redhead with blonde eyelashes and eyebrows and look dead without it!

Not sure why people keep mentioning the OP and her pyjamas in a snide way. I assumed that she only mentioned it to make the point that it was so early that she was still in her pyjamas but the neighbour was already fully made up. I don't think she was boasting that she was so unbothered by appearances that she never changes out of her nightwear.

Just mascara and a bit of lippie on work days. Having said that, I’ve recently started having eyelash extensions done monthly so I spend even less time applying makeup now. I do wear the full works (foundation, blusher, eyeshadow etc) on a night out but those are few and far between these days so make up doesn’t really play a big part in my life anymore. From about 16-30 I wouldn’t have so much as walked the dog without it, it feels quite liberating not to be as bothered now

Some of the younger women where I work wear eyelashes that enter a room about half a minute before the rest of them. I admit to thinking those look weird.

Nearly every day

Interesting.. most of my neighbours don't look like they are wearing makeup most of the time, except for one who puts it for church on a Sunday. I can't remember seeing any of the others in make up except maybe for a night out.

Personally, I put on eyebrow pencil, a few dots of a pencil eyeliner, and a dab of blusher when I get up, and lipstick/balm when I leave the house or when I remember during the day.

Don't wear make up
Don't wear the PJs outside

I used to wear makeup everyday and it used to make me feel good about myself, and now I barely wear it. It’s coincided with my mental health going down hill. I just don’t have the energy for it any more. Same with hair and clothes - I used to love those too.

I put it on everytime I go "out" so meeting someone for drinks, a meal, shopping trip or on a family day out.

I put it on for work when I can be bothered, can be every day or no days in a week. Some days I might just put some bronzing drops and mascara on, other days it's the whole lot.

Never to just go to the supermarket, hardly ever for the gym but once or twice I have put some tinted moisturiser and mascara on with lip oil or lip balm unless I'm wearing it already.

It's just time and effort and I can't be bothered but I do enjoy playing around and trying out different products.

I only put on mascara to fool people I'm awake

😆

I guess years of doing the exact same thing has made it so I could probably do it without a mirror by this point xD

Not sure why makeup needs justified, I find it less odd to be in full glam than I do going out in pjs at lunchtime, even if it is just to your car… I like doing it, so I wear it most days

Exactly this.

Never, don't own any unless lip balm counts.

Never.

I remember being asked once by a (male) family member if I needed more time to "get my face on" when on the way to attend a 'do' (I was wearing a very small amount of make-up on this occasion). I told him my face was already attached. Wish I'd thought to return the question...

And self care for me is an hour’s early morning workout at the gym, batch cooking healthy & tasty food or lying on the sofa in the evening with a good book & one or more cats.

Every single day when I'm seeing another person.

Mostly every day. I do a full face but it doesn't look like a full face, if you see what I mean. Like one of those 'no make up' looks that men think mean we're not wearing make up. A good foundation, blush, eyebrow pencil, eyebrow wax, mascara and a tinted lip balm. Takes me 8 minutes including two coats of mascara and curling my lashes.

We're all different. Self care for me involves a good book and some good chocolate whereas I consider anything related to appearance as a chore like vacuuming. Love dresses, no need to coordinate anything:)

I used to wear my 'level one' minimal make up every single day though. To work, to do the school run, to nip to the shop for milk. I'd never be out anywhere without concealer, mascara and blusher.

It was Covid that totally broke that habit as we had nowhere to go, nothing to do and my face was half covered with a mask anyway. I never went back to it and just stay bare faced most days now.

Every day without fail. It takes me 5 minutes and I feel undressed without it. I'm over 50 so covering up sun spots, dark shadows, colouring in eyebrows and putting on lipstick/blusher just brightens up my face. I do not care what anyone else thinks, I do it so I don't catch sight of myself in a mirror and think 'gosh you look terrible'.

Also, I really enjoy it. I have drawers of make up and I like experimenting.

Well OP I will admit I also go outside in pyjamas and dressing gown - every morning actually because I go out to top the bird feeders up as soon as I'm out of bed. So the birds can get their breakfast. I don't usually meet any neighbours at that point though.
I also wear make up every day - applied after breakfast. It's only a minimal amount and I've made a conscious effort these past few years to look as natural as I can. It only takes 5 minutes to apply. I'm so used to doing it, it's so part of my routine, I feel it's sort of " me" now.

There is also no connection between wearing makeup and being "groomed" in terms of wearing good quality clothing in excellent condition and being generally clean and tidy. Do you assume men who don't wear makeup also wear clothes from 1987?

If I'm in the office I will wear a full face, so foundation, powder, bronzer, eyebrows, eyeshadow, liner, blush and highlighter.

Rarely if I'm just at home. Sometimes I might do my eyebrows and a bit of blush but depends what Teams meetings I have.

Trying to add that since my 50s I wear less - when I was in my 20s and 30s and worked in London I wore far more

After reading this thread I decided to do my make up and timed myself.

Tinted moisturizer, concealer, blush, eyebrow gel, mascara and lipstick.

One minute, forty seconds!
