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?

Math I'm with you - even if my face is bare of any other make up, I always leave the house with mascara.

I should make more effort for the office, TBH, but it's the type of job where people don't even know we exist, we don't have meetings, we're not customer facing, so the only people I see every day are the same 3 women.

ANd forgot to mention moisturiser - I use a dark spot corrector one at night, and and Q10 with SPF15 for the day.

Clinique supersoft tinted mousturiser and a bit of concealer if I need it. Nars orgasm illuminator.
Cheapo soft black kohl eye pencil and Loreal Telescopic mascara on eyes
Stila nude lip pencil, Clinique chubby stick lip colour and sometimes a bit of cheapo Barry M vanilla gloss on lips.

I never wear mascara. I wear glasses so people can't really see my eyes, and I have dark eyelashes anyway. On the odd occasion that I wore it in the past people always asked me if I was wearing false eyelashes. I don't wear eye makeup nowadays because my eyelids are too wrinkled and eye shadow just highlights the problem.

I find mascara accentuates the lines under my eyes....even just top mascara. :(

Well, sometimes the lipstick is sheer, very occasionally nude.

I notice some of you are talking about under eye concealer, which sounds exactly what I need. Can someone recommend one, please. I need a make-up tutorial, I always look like I've got a black eye if I try to use eye shadow - can you just go to a dept store make-up counter and ask them to show you what to do??

Normally I just wear foundation and vaseline and on a night out I add blusher, mascara and lippy. Need to know how to use eye shadow properly, though!

Every day: foundation (2 mixed together); under eye concealer; blusher; powder; eyebrow pencil; eyeshadow; mascara; lipstick.

Love the stuff Smile

And no, it really doesn't look like I am clarted in it, I am skilled in the art of deception after devoting my life to it.

Work: Dr Feelgood (anti-shine thingummy), under eye concealer, blusher, powder, eyeliner, mascara, barely there lipstick

Weekend: sometimes nothing, sometimes all of the above, sometimes something in between

Going out: lightweight foundation, eyeshadow plus all of the above, applied a bit more heavily

Every day; moisturiser (olay spf 15 one, nothing fancy) and mascara (have dark, but short ish eyelashes so feel things need accentuating). That's it. Oh sometimes, lip balm or nude lip gloss. Work day or otherwise.

Going out/special event; moisturiser, maybe face perfector base, very rarely foundation, eye shadow, mascara, maybe blush, lip stick or gloss.

I am lucky that I have quite clear, even toned skinned and its (generally) not too shiny, so think most people are surprised I'm not wearing foundation.

Oh, I did wear concealer on my eye circles the other day, but that's because I had a 10do DS and had very little sleep!!!

Under eye stuff, benefit ooh la lift or the fresh illuminating touche-eclat-style thingy.
Tinted moisturiser. Love Sephora's own stuff, and it's SPF 15.
Eyeliner, either bare minerals big and bright (which would be my no 1 tip for new mums- really makes your eyes appear bright and sparkly, not dull and exhausted!). Sometimes eyeshadow, Nars, or bodyshop is my current fave.
Blusher or bronzer depending on time of year.
Lips- usually just vaseline, but lip gloss if I remember, or lipstick if I am feeling grown up.
I do my eyebrows if I have time/ remember..!

Avon after many years trying them out, the By Terry under eye stuff from Space NK is the best. Expensive, but worth it: transforms people.

the full works every day. Including brow makeup, eyeliner etc. I don't feel (or look) right without it. It only takes me 10 mins & makes me look so, so much better.

Am currently on maternity leave but as a minimum wear mineral powder, blusher, mascara and tinted lip balm. If I'm going out in the evening and want my make up to last better, or going to do something nice i will wear foundation and eyeshadow as well. On rare evenings out I will make eyes more sparkly and possibly wear lipgloss. I never ever leave the house without make up on unless it is an emergency. I think I have worn make up every day bar one or two since DS was born.
