I'm trying to wear it a bit more but sometimes I just can't be arsed. I do look better when I have it on though

Never!

ouryve · 05/01/2013 21:22

Never.

I hate the feel of it on my skin. I last bought some when I got married over 8 years ago.

uptheamp · 05/01/2013 21:23

all the time, do like it though, like all the sparkly colours

Lucy411 · 05/01/2013 21:23

Everyday! :)

BunnyLebowski · 05/01/2013 21:24

Every single day.

Unless I'm having a hugely hungover, not leave the house, duvet day!

usualsuspect · 05/01/2013 21:24

mascara and eyeliner everyday

FortyFacedFuckers · 05/01/2013 21:27

Everyday unless I am having a jammie day. I don't wear a lot but couldn't go out without foundation and mascara.

mysteryfairy · 05/01/2013 21:27

Everyday unless definitely not leaving the house. If anyone does call in and see me makeup free I always get asked if I am ill, even when it's my mum visiting!

Arisbottle · 05/01/2013 21:28

Every day for work, I try to to at other times unless we are going out in the evening

DewDr0p · 05/01/2013 21:29

Only when I go out... So not all that often! Grin

ThreeBeeOneGee · 05/01/2013 21:30

Mascara and lipstick: occasionally, i.e. once or twice a month.

Foundation, blusher and eyeshadow: once in my life (at my wedding).

Eyeliner: never

Mumelie · 05/01/2013 21:45

Everyday all day

FiveHoursSleep · 05/01/2013 21:47

Never. I don't even own any anymore!

sweetheart · 05/01/2013 21:48

Yep pretty much every day all day here too.

ErikNorseman · 05/01/2013 21:50

Everyday, bare essenscuals foundation and mascara. Takes less than 5 minutes.

MirandaWest · 05/01/2013 21:51

Very rarely. I do look quite nice with it on but not that much nicer Grin

deleted203 · 05/01/2013 21:54

OP I'm like you. I only really bother if I'm going to something very fancy (like a wedding) or occasionally if I think, 'God, you look shit today' and I can summon the effort. I actually look loads better with make up. I just don't care enough to be arsed.

QuinnFabray · 05/01/2013 23:17

Every single day. I love it. I look forward to putting it on.

BunnyLebowski · 05/01/2013 23:20

Me too Quinn

Love deciding what look to go for and which of my gorgeous products to use (had a huge xmas haul courtesy of Santa DP) Grin

Love the ritual of putting it on. Seeing myself transform from puffy blotchy mess to something vaguely pretty Wink

carmenelectra · 06/01/2013 09:20

Everyday of my life unless I'm so ill I can't leave the house. Varying amounts. Basics for work, mascara, blusher foundation, lipgloss or maybe just vaseline. More make up weekends and days off work. Full on when I go out- false eyelashes the lot!

Zara1984 · 06/01/2013 09:21

Every day (but mostly just a very light amount. It is one of the few things that makes me feel human and feminine given that I have a small baby to care for!

bunnymother · 06/01/2013 09:25

Every day. I look awful without it - pale and washed out. I don't wear foundation, but wear eyeliner, mascara, concealer and lipstick.

AnnoyedAtWork · 06/01/2013 09:29

Used to be every day, now just at work (or when I go out, which is rare!)

I am too lazy to put it on at the weekend!

Have felt less need to wear it as I've become more confident in my self (less focused on looks for self worth) but I do look healthier and more awake with it on!

Mockingcurl · 06/01/2013 09:34

Everyday. I love make up. I live in a house full of males, so feel it's something girly just for me.

InNeedOfBrandy · 06/01/2013 09:35

I love the transformation and deciding part to bunny

I wear it everyday unless it's a duvet day. Have no issue with people seeing me without makeup boyfriends and such, know of one person who would get up early put her slap on then go back to bed so her boyfriend didn't see her without.

I like deciding how I want to look that day and how doni want my hair. I could not live without foundation and mascara, day to day I use foundation mascara eyeshadow blusher and vasaline. I use eyeliner and lipstick and heavier foundation for nights out and days where I want to feel more dressy.
