I am bog lazy and will avoid wearing make up just so that I don't have to take it off at night. However am leaving a trail of broken mirrors and screaming toddlers so probably should wear more make up. I manage mascara on a good day... what about you?

Do go without make up, but never without moisturiser.

I did today

I was only going to B & Q though!

Blossomhowl · 30/10/2005 21:35

I have to wear tinted moisturiser and lip gloss before leaving my house

MrsForgetMeNotFul · 30/10/2005 21:38

my boys get suspicious when i wear makeup...they know i'm going out!!! The youngest is 6 and the other day (when i had on an embroidered SHORT denim skirt) said "WHY do you look so pretty mummy?"
Now i can assure you i am NOT pretty...but this probably refers to the fact that he saw my opaque tight clad legs!!!!!

Ericblack · 30/10/2005 21:46

Damn MrsForget. My son always says I look pretty when I wear a skirt too and I always believe him. You've made me think its probably just the novelty and he's desparate for me to look more like a lady.

Tortington · 30/10/2005 22:34

nope. never.

Tortington · 30/10/2005 22:34

thats not the write answer to the question - i mean i dont wear it unloess am out on the razz. never for everyday wear

spooklymieow · 30/10/2005 23:07

I wear make up everyday, eye make up, foundation, powder, lippy. I hate the way I look without it.

swedishmum · 30/10/2005 23:55

My children said I looked pretty last night - made up for our halloween party!

spookylucy · 31/10/2005 00:14

Im from the custy school of makeup!

suedonim · 31/10/2005 00:59

I'll go to the school or to buy a paper without makeup but I always wear it if I'm going anywhere else. I wear foundation in winter, tinted moisturiser in summer, eyeliner, eyeshadow and lippy. I'd wear mascara if I could find one which didn't irritate my eyes and I sometimes get my eyelashes dyed.

jenk1 · 31/10/2005 08:23

hardly ever wear it in the day not even for the school run

If im going supermarket shopping or visiting people then i will but thats about it, but i do cleanse tone and moisturize every day with liz earle and i dont have any spots so i suppose its not too bad

Prettybird · 31/10/2005 10:09

I do try and waer make up. Never waer foundation though, even though I'm 44 - just waer a tinted moisturiserer. Just wear that, plus a wee bit of base on my eyelids plus some smudged eye pencil, mascara and lipstick/lipgolss. Have taken to using the lipstick for a wee touch of blusher as well - at least that way it matches! Also swear by mileral use of Touche Eclat. (I am 44!).

Actaully wore much more make-up when I was younger.

Ericblack - may I say you look great and don't need any make up!

Prettybird · 31/10/2005 10:12

... but at weekends, I usually only wear it if I am going somewhere specail - eg yesterday to the mumsnet meet-up!

Don't bother if I'm just going to the supermarekt. And I rarely touch up during the day even at work, so by the end of the day, there's not much left!

But I'm also lazy, and don't ususually bother to take it off at night!

Fortunately I have a good skin!

MamaMaiasaura · 31/10/2005 10:15

I did today - all poorly but did school run. Most days manage mascara (blonde eyelashes that I should just get tinted) and lip seal/ lip gloss. When on placement make more of an effort

Ericblack · 02/11/2005 13:06

Aw Prettybird, thank you! You are definitely too kind. And not so bad yourself. Age has clearly not withered us.
