How much (if any) makeup do you wear to work?

[nicelyneurotic]

I wear a fair bit of makeup to work, a little bit of everything - foundation, mascara, eyeshadow, eyeliner, blusher and lipstick.

Most of my colleagues wear little or no makeup.
I'd like to do this but would feel self conscious, shiny and worried I look ill (am pale with dark under eye circles).

Was wondering what/how much makeup you wear and if anyone has any tips for a less made-up, but polished, look?

Concealer
Blusher
Powder
Eye liner
Eye shadow
Macara
Lip liner
Lip colour and gloss
Sometimes wear foundation but not often.

None
Actually, no, I needed some lipsalve andi splashed out on the red tinted Vaseline one. Does that count ?

I am a civil engineer, I spend a lot of time on building sites.

I wear the works everyday (natural though) unless it's a full day at home. I too am pale with not the best complexion and have naturally dark circles under my eyes. I had my eyelashes tinted the other day so didn't wear mascara to work and the first person who saw me said I looked tired! I don't wear make up for other people's benefit, I wear it because it makes me feel better and more confident. I understand and admire people who don't feel the need, but it's just not for me. Everyone looks better with make up in my opinion! Xx

I wear makeup every day. But a subtle touch (or that's what I hope):

SPF 50 moisturiser
Chanel Vitalumiére aqua
Collection 2000 concealer for under eye rings
Tiny bit of powder on t-zone - Soap and Glory or Laura Mercier
Blusher - Bobbi Brown soft pink or Revlon berry something
Mascara - YSL Babydoll in Navy
Lipstick - currently either Rimmel Vintage rose or Mac Plumful. Depending on the mood.

Seriously, takes 5 mins. 7 mins tops.

I look the the (now proverbial) potato without.

Light foundation. Neutral but shimmery eyeshadow. Eyeliner. Mascara.

Maybe some lip gloss.

I'm not client facing all the time so rarely more than that.

Under eye concealer. The couple of times I have forgotten, I've had "Spam, you look terrible, are you OK?" comments from the head. (She's not known for tact.)

None most of the time but very, very occasionally a little eyeliner. I also occasionally dye my eyelashes.

The younger women where I work tend to wear the most make-up. Seems to be a trend for painting in your eyebrows, which was considered passe and weird when I was young.

Most of the older wmen wear a bit of bousher and lippy and mascara as far as I can see, but no trowelling it on.

I'm 36. I wear concealer and foundation and a bit of bronzer, mascara and eyeliner, coloured lip balm.

I would wear no make up if I could but unfortunately I look like I haven't slept for 3 weeks without make up so I wear everything but natural look..hopefully others think it's natural too...

I wear the works everyday
The few times I've gone without I've been asked if I'm unwell :(

Daily make up is:

Concealer, powder, bronzer, blush ( rosy colour), highlighter, eyebrow pencil and mascara.

Going out make up as above, but with eyeliner and shadow, and lipstick. If Im feeling fancy I might wear false lashes.

I work with quite a lot of twentysomethings who wear no make up at all.

I am fortysomething and don't like being all done up in daytime, but achieve the no make-up look these days look takes... quite a bit of make up

So I wear tinted moisturiser, concealer, eyeshadow primer and light-coloured eyeshadow, mascara, a bit of cream blusher.

But I will quite happily go out in the daytime with no make up providing I have no spots!

None. There's at least 25 women where I work and no more than one or two wear makeup, and then it's just a bit of mascara. I come across plenty of women at multi-disciplinary meetings, and makeup is definitely the exception rather than the rule.

If I'm just going to stay at home, nothing

But if I'm going to uni or just out and about during the day - primer, tinted moisturiser, cream blusher and mascara. Depending on how much I've been awake during the night, concealer as well.

Occasionally, I'll wear a light foundation instead of the tinted moisturiser

Always at least eyeshadow used as liner and a bit of foundation and blusher. Sometimes more. Always get comments if I wear lipstick, as I look much more 'done' then, I think.

I always wear the full works. It only takes me 10 minutes, or probably less, of a morning to put it on.

I didn't wear make up to work one day. My boss called me into his office and asked if I was unwell and needed to go home.

I wear make up most days. Takes me 5 mins to do - tinted moisturiser, concealer, powder, blusher, eyebrows, lipstain. That's a fairly minimal look for me. Most women I work with wear some make up, but not heavy. Occasionally I'll be in a real rush and not have time to do it and I'm not embarrassed to go out with no make up. I don't bother putting any on when I'm at home.

Eyebrows and lashes dyed, scent applied before I leave the house. Then a spot of L'Oreal's master smoky purple eyeliner, mascara, primer and a slick of Clinique lipstick aimed at my head on the very wobbly local bus.

If someone told me I looked ill/tired/hungover/whatever without make-up I would probably stop wearing it entirely. I would rather people got used to me the way I am than feel obliged to wear it every day. I do often go weeks on end with nothing except my eyebrow pencil, but am having a spell of wearing more at the moment.

Mineral/powder foundation
under eye concealer
mascara
blusher
lipstick

Takes about 2/3 minutes tops every single day - I don't go out without it. If I'm going out to somewhere special I add pencil liner and a bit of eyeshadow.

Everything No7 except the mascara which is lancome.

Primer
Foundation
Eyeshadow
'Eyeliner' –actually a line of eyeshadow, on the rim of my top eyelids
Mascara
Concealer under eyes
Blusher
Powder
Eyeshadow on eyebrows

Looks like a lot written down but he finished 'look' is pretty low-key and seems to be the minimum I need (or feel comfortable with anyway) to look presentable and healthy.
I only use neutral eyeshadow – it just helps make my eye area look less tired and dark. I hope my foundation isn't too trowelled-on looking and just evens out my skin tone.

I think I wear more than most if not all of my colleagues; it's not a very high-powered or corporate area.

It takes me AGES to do. I'm constantly trying to trim my time/improve my technique, but no dice as yet

I wear eyeliner, blush, lipstick and conceler everyday (teacher) but mascara is only for evenings not sure why

I wear foundation, blusher, lipstick, eyeshadow and mascara every day.
I enjoy applying it and the ritual of it, having done so since I was a teenager. I'm support staff in a school where some people wear make up and others don't. It's what people feel like I guess.

I wear foundation, blusher, eye liner and mascara. Lip gloss if handy but often bear lips.
