Do you wear foundation everyday to work?

[Ashtower]

I recently started a grad scheme. This morning I realised I had run out of foundation. My reaction to the prospect of going into the office without it really surprised me.

Everyone my age wears make up.

No? I'm 32. I wear mascara. That's it?

Nope. I only wear foundation on some nights out.

What is your age?

I do, powder foundation so only takes a second to apply and is fairly light and doesnt need to be blended.

I have quite blotchy skin otherwise

I wear foundation every day, would feel very uncomfortable going out without it (unless it was just for a dog walk or something)

I'm 32

Nope never have. Save it for a night out only although I do look better with it.

23

I wear a tiny bit of foundation (1/4 of a pump), eye liner , blush, mascara and nude-pink lipstick. It's a very natural look.

Might wear lip liner if I want a nuder lip.

No. Often, but not always. Probably would if I was chairing a meeting with externals or giving a talk with lots of people, photos, filming etc..

I look and feel more tired without makeup. Only takes me 10 mins on the train.

I do. I have a lot of hyperpigmentation and old acne scars, so my naked skin looks like freckles in the negative, iyswim. I've seen people flinch and stare when they see me without makeup for the first time. Foundation makes it so much less noticeable.

yes - just a very light coverage, but I do feel it's part of my office "uniform" I guess.
I often go bare faced for the school run, or just mooching out and about locally

I'm in my forties.

Nope. I very rarely wear make up (mostly because I'm a lazy bugger who'd rather stay in bed for that bit longer. 😂😂😂)

I will keep some powder in my bag in case I feel a bit shiny but that's it.

I only wear any kind of make up at all for weddings. So I wear foundation about twice a year.

I wear foundation or tinted moisturiser every day as I used to have acne and so am in the habit of it, plus it evens out my complexion. Don’t plaster it on though! I’m early 30s.

42 years old here. Wore no makeup to work in my 20s. Since I turned 30 I wear tinted moisturiser, and occasionally lipstick and mascara if I have an external meeting.

Full make up everyday. Moisturiser, primer, foundation, under eye concealer, eye liner, mascara, eye shadow, blusher, lipstick!

Yes - my everyday face is primer, Double wear, bronzer, blush, eyebrow pencil and mascara....

I feel shit without it on

I work from home mostly now so am lucky if I get dressed

When I went into an office everyday, I wore foundation every day. Without it everyone would tell me I looked tired and ill but I often thought about stopping wearing so much makeup.

I'm a chef and very grateful that I dont have to wear makeup.

No. I do like make up and will wear it on evenings out and to special occasions but i can't be bothered on a daily basis.

My routine only takes about 6 mins in the morning

(do skincare at night to "unwind")

When I was your age, I would have done, because I enjoyed makeup. My DD's sometimes don't, they have good skin and completions, some of their friends, who don't, always wear foundation.

Now, at work, I would always use Bare Minerals and I need a undereye colour corrector. Day to day, sometimes just undereye corrector and concealer.

I never wear foundation as fountaion - I occasionally put a bit under my eyes as concealer if I look particularly tired.

Very interesting. I guess it varies from office to office. I honestly think 90% of women in my office wear make up. 100% of people my age.

With mascara.
