On a SAHM day: lip balm. under eye concealer on a very bad day
On a work day ( public sector admin): Under eye concealer, powder, eyeshadow, mascara and lipstick.

Does ANYONE use all those things in the Lisa Eldridge video, ever?

For a night out, yes.

Daily is

Primer, concealer, foundation, powder, blusher, eyeliner, mascara.

JethroTull · 29/11/2012 16:14

Work day - BB cream, mascara, blusher

Non work day - moisturiser.

headfairy · 29/11/2012 16:15

every day (even at home) I used mineral powder foundation, bronzer, blusher, eye liner, mascara and on work days I'll chuck on some eye shadow too.

DejaB00 · 29/11/2012 16:19

At home- moisturiser

At work- moisturiser, mascara and a tiny bit of foundation on edges of nose (always red).

mrsbugsywugsy · 29/11/2012 16:24

none - unless you count moisturiser and lip balm

Who/what is Lisa Eldridge?

AcidTurkishBath · 29/11/2012 16:25

For work: foundation, eyeliner, mascara
For weekend: eyeliner, mascara (and concealer if necessary)
For evening out: foundation, powder, eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, lipstick

mrsbugsywugsy · 29/11/2012 16:25

Deja you put red foundation on your nose? Are you Rudolph Wink

TheCountessOlenska · 29/11/2012 16:27

Every day - primer, foundation, blusher, powder, eyebrow pencil, mascara, lipbalm

Work day - might add more blusher, eye shadow, lipstick

Hmm- that actually sounds like loads but it's quite subtle!!

AcidTurkishBath · 29/11/2012 16:28

I see a woman on the way to work every morning who does put on the full face paint. It isn't horribly obvious but definitely over the top for a normal work day.

monsterchild · 29/11/2012 16:31

every day - none. Moisturizer if needed. Lip balm with no tint if needed. Sunscreen if needed.
This means I can shower at night and sleep in until the last minute every day!

Bunbaker · 29/11/2012 16:33

On a SAHM day moisturiser. On a work day - Boots no7 Intelligent Colour foundation (have recently discovered it and love, love, love it), blusher and lipstick.

Djembe · 29/11/2012 16:36

SAHM day -
bourgeois healthy mix serum foundation
Clinique stick blusher
A 'my lips but better' lipstick

Night out -
same foundation but 2 squeezes of pump
Same blush
Dark red lipstick
2 shades of eyeshadow
Highlighter on brow bone

aPirateInaPearTree · 29/11/2012 16:36

Loreal face cream followed by

Garnier BB cream.

mascara

eyeshadow

I shine for about 5 mins but it calms down!

Bunbaker · 29/11/2012 17:05

I'm curious to know why full make up is still required on a SAHM day. Not judging, but isn't it better to let the skin breathe every now and again?

If I am not seeing anyone other than my family I don't bother with anything other than moisturizer.

QuinnFabray · 29/11/2012 17:06

Primer, foundation, eyebrow powder, mascara, eyeliner, blusher and lipstick. Takes five minutes. Every day. It makes me feel better.

CluffyDude · 29/11/2012 17:16

On a normal day;
Foundation
Eyeshadow
Liner
Mascara
Blusher
Lip balm

On a night/day out,the same but with bronzer and lipstick.

I am a sahp Smile

Fairylea · 29/11/2012 17:20

Foundation. Powder. Blusher. Eyeshadow. Eyeliner. Mascara. Lipgloss.

I'm a sahm. Ex beauty consultant. Explains my make up addiction !

laptopdancer · 29/11/2012 17:27

I just use foundation, powder (shouldnt but its a habit), blusher.
I have my eyebrow and lashes tinted to never touch them.
I dont often wear lipstick these days. In my 20's and 30's I was lipstick heavy and am finding it hard to find a shade that suits now.

laptopdancer · 29/11/2012 17:29

I found primer doesnt stay on my skin...kind of hard to decsribe but it almost glides off

NoWayNoHow · 29/11/2012 17:34

For a normal day, just under-eye concealer and mascara (and cover-up when I get spots) and Vaseline for lips.

If I need to be out and about out of the office, then I might use shimmery nude eye shadow, some foundation and powder as well.

For night, I do smoky eyes, kohl eyeliner and loads of mascara, and a pinkish Juicy Tube-type gloss. Or I do a shimmery nude eyeshadow base with a thick gel eyeliner with flick, and red lippy. Depends on how I'm feeling and the occasion/outfit.

idococktailshedoesbeer · 29/11/2012 17:34

Foundation, powder, blush, concealer, mascara (I have my lashes tinted too), tinted lip conditioner. I'm a Mac addict.

AntoinetteCosway · 29/11/2012 17:35

For work: primer, foundation, under eye concealer, blusher, mascara, lipstick. Eyeshadow, eyeliner and highlighter if I can be arsed.

SAHM days: nada!

TheCountessOlenska · 29/11/2012 17:36

I only work two days a week - I'm not going to go around bare-faced on my SAHM days Shock, I do actually go out of the house and meet friends!!

mathanxiety · 29/11/2012 17:38

Every day -- moisturiser, concealer, blush, lip balm and lipstick, grey eyeshadow and liner and often mascara. For nights I increase the eyeshadow level to smoky and always use mascara.
