How much make-up to wear during the day?

Ive only just started wearing make-up. Just foundation and a bit of eye-liner. People have noticed and I've had many positive comments. How much do you normally wear during the day and what brands do you use?

Benefit posytint as blush
Powder Blusher or bronzer depending on season on t-zone & cheeks
benefit benetint or chanel rouge coco lipstick or Bobby brown lipstick

Mac Blusher and Mac Longstay lippy (ie, the all day lipstick) or Revlon's equivalent.

only wear foundation on big nights out and don't wear mascara during the day as i have stupidly long, thick eyelashes (so i've been told Wink) though i probably would if they were otherwise!

Most days I wear
Dior foundation
Benefit blusher
Liquid eyeliner on the upper lid (many different brands)
Powder liner on the lower lashline ( a dark Mac eye shadow applied with a flat brush. I also fill my eyebrows in with the same shadow and brush.
lipstick ( Mac, clinique or virgin vie )

I rarely wear eye shadow or mascara.

Blusher makes all the difference. If you only add one more item of make up to your routine, I'd add some blusher. And make a lip gloss.

Nars primer
Boots No. 7 Lift and Luminate foundation + YSL Touche Eclat on dark shadows
Ultraglow Bronzer (just a touch!)
Nars cream blusher (a smidgen if I am feeling pale)
Loreal Telescopic Mascara
Rimmel kohl yeliner
Clinique Superbalm lip gloss

Sounds a lot but I apply it in 5 mins and I use everything quite sparingly

No.7 foundation but I apply like concealer with a brush to cover blemishes.
