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

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?

Cream eyeshadow
Eyeliner
Mascara
Primer
Foundation
Powder
Blusher
Lipstick or gloss

I know this may not be a popular thing but I think a bit of make up can make women look more professional than a bare face.

I wear it to give me a bit of confidence, not for anyone else. Also because I look pretty shit without it !!

Mineral foundation, mascara, brow pencil, blusher and red lipstick. Eyeliner/shadow sometimes but only if I'm up early and feel like it! Without eye makeup my entire face takes under four minutes (I timed once).
