Anyone else stopped wearing make up?

Since lockdown had us working from home and not really needing to leave the house much, I've not worn the stuff and feel so liberated for it!

I've not been dapping the concealer or foundation on for our work team zoom call. I'm starting to appreciate my skin and now wondering why I would cover it so much. Anyone else finding this?

I'm wearing about the same as I wore before - not much, I just spend 5 mins a day applying it, and just reapply lipstick after eating. I'm a sahm so I don't work, and all through lockdown I was going out every day taking my toddler for walks, so I've still been out in public all the time. If I was at home all day I probably wouldn't bother, but I think if I was wfh I'd want to get out for a walk once a day.

Now that I’m out and about more I’m back to wearing it because I just look so grotesque without it. I feel so uncomfortable with myself and around other people. Wish I could get over that though because I hate having to do it!

Me, I started work as a covid testing and laboratory preparation supervisor and having not worn makeup for about 6 months apart from nights when I've been bored and done it just for fun, I don't feel the need to wear it really, work I'm in full mask, visor ect and nipping to a shop I'm in mask and gloves so there's never a reason to wear it, I went out for dinner and just dressed down

Yep! Stopped wearing foundation altogether. I'm letting the world see my freckles and feel much happier for it!

I never started wearing make up to stop wearing it.

@SummerPoppies that's good! I don't think this is the thread for you then! :)
