Does anyone put on foundation daily?

I feel a bit of a diva doing this but feel it makes all the difference. Just foundation and eyeliner seems to make me go from average/icky to like really really made up nicely.

Does anyone else wear foundation daily?

I've seen a lot of women wear mascara daily which I definitely don't do (mainly the hassle of taking it all off the lashes daily)

Yes, I wear - foundation, cover up, powder, blusher, eye liner, shadow, mascara and eyebrow pencil, daily.

nutellalove · 24/01/2019 22:28

Yup. Well if im going to work or out somewhere nice. The only place I wouldn't Is the gym.

Kescilly · 24/01/2019 22:29

I do any time I leave the house. I wish I felt comfortable going without, but I don’t.

I do...lessens the ‘are you okay?’ questions!

bonfireheart · 24/01/2019 22:31

I do, no one needs to see my acne scars, not even me!

Brazenhussy0 · 24/01/2019 22:31

Yup. Full face every single day. It’s part of my morning routine and I don’t feel completely awake/ready to face the world without it.

It’s my ‘I’m actually a friendly person who likes people’ mask Grin

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 24/01/2019 22:32

Yes for work- at the weekend, nope, gets all over my 18 month old

dementedpixie · 24/01/2019 22:33

Foundation and a bit of lippy

MrsApplepants · 24/01/2019 22:36

Yes, full face everyday, foundation, powder and blusher, but don’t go overboard with the eye make up, just a neutral shadow and some mascara. I look dead with no make up

mamaduckbone · 24/01/2019 22:38

Yes, unfortunately - when I’m at work at least. I look like death without it. Never used to wear makeup every day at all but I’m old and haggard now (43Grin)

BelfortGabbz · 24/01/2019 22:38

Yes, my trowelling technique puts many good plasterers to shame.

HundredMilesAnHour · 24/01/2019 22:39

Yes I wear foundation/CC cream almost every day unless I have no intention of leaving home. I also use powder (I have oily skin so get shiny quickly) and a natural looking lip liner.

If I'm making slightly more effort, I'll add mascara (I'm blonde so my eyelashes are barely there without mascara) and blusher.

It's only if I'm going to work (and it's not dressdown day) or I'm going out in the evening that I bother with eye liner and eye shadow.

And the eyebrow pencil only comes out for a BIG effort. Wink

Namechangeforthiscancershit · 24/01/2019 22:41

Errr yes. Never occurred to me that it wasn’t normal. Who (who wears make up) isn’t putting foundation on every day?

starzig · 24/01/2019 22:41

I don't. I have blemishes. I have dark circles and i am pale etc... but it is me and I am not ashamed of my face so don't wear makeup.

LoniceraJaponica · 24/01/2019 22:44

Would you even if not leaving the house?
I like to let my skin breathe, so I only wear it when going out or going to work.

tararabumdeay · 24/01/2019 22:46

Yes, every morning (even before taking the bins out) but by the end of a 13 hour working day, though I believe I'm still made up to the nines, I'm just me with panda eyes.

DameSquashalot · 24/01/2019 22:48

I used to, and I probably should bwcauy my skin iSnt great, but I don't have to look at it. Whenever I catch myself in the mirror I always wish I could be bothered to make the effort. 😁

Mumblers · 24/01/2019 22:48

Nope nope and thrice nope. Can't stand the feeling of it plus I look like a porcelain doll with it on. But absolutely would not ever leave the house without my mascara & eyebrows on.

WarIsPeace · 24/01/2019 22:49

Usually, yes full face of light makeup every day.
Bare minimum for quick dash out of the house though is just mascara and blusher.

DameSquashalot · 24/01/2019 22:49

Sorry, my typing is terrible!

dontticklethetoad · 24/01/2019 22:51

God, no.
I wear eyeliner and mascara (sometimes eye shadow) most days, but only wear foundation if I'm going out in the evening (or sometimes not).
I think it looks very aging.

RavenLG · 24/01/2019 22:53

BB Cream, Concealer, Brows, Bronze, Blush. Usually mascara but my new one smudges like a bitch so I’ve stopped wearing it until I get a new one. I look ill with the make up never mind without

Bubba1234 · 24/01/2019 22:54

Not everyday most days without

greenelephantscarf · 24/01/2019 22:56

no
only for important occassions at work.

bonfireheart · 24/01/2019 22:58

"It looks very ageing."
You must be applying it wrong...
