Just following on from other threads - I am really interested to know how many of you wear makeup everyday, if you do what time do you have to get up in the morning to do it??

For those that wear it - does it really make that much of a difference as most of you have said that your make-up is neutral colours???

Never in Summer, can't be bothered, only for high days and holidays in Winter...

Raggydoll · 12/09/2006 20:56

almost everyday.

moisturiser (botanics i think)
clarins flash balm
rimmel foundation
tesco blusher
and estee lauder mascara

i used to have ALL expensive makeup but like jim jams it has been used for drawing, flushing, eating and various other unusual uses by ds1

yes it really does make a difference - although you can't really tell i'm wearing it - without it i look very pale and pasty... i have very even blemish free skin though, its just incredibly pale!

iris66 · 12/09/2006 20:58

Jazzi - yes - I look deathly without!!!!
daily essentials are concealer/light bronzer/eyeliner/mascara/neutral lipstic

spangles · 12/09/2006 21:01

I dont wear it every day although I should do because when I am wearing make up I get lots of complements from friends and from DH. I dont have a problem with the 5 mins it takes to put it on in the morning... Its the taking it off that I can't be arsed with. I am a lazy slattern and even though I feel so much better with some lippy on I have to say that 3 days out of 5 I dont bother with it

brimfull · 12/09/2006 21:14

yes,takes 5 mins aswell
tinted moisturiser
touche eclat
mascara
blush or bronzer

wear eyeliner and shadow when going out in evening.

sanchpanch · 12/09/2006 21:21

olay radiance mosturiser
boots intelligent foundation
concealer
powder
bronzer

6 mins tops

same routine if i go out in evening + maybe 2nd coat of mascara and some highlighter cream on cheeks

hester · 12/09/2006 21:22

Always, always, always.

Tinted moisturiser
Concealer
Line softener gel
A little powder
Blusher
Highlighter
Eyeshadow
Mascara
Eyebrow gel
Lipliner
Lipstick or lip gloss

Blimey, that sounds like a lot. It only takes five minutes, though - I've been practising for a long time.

hester · 12/09/2006 21:23

And I am most definitely a feminist.

hulababy · 12/09/2006 21:23

I do. Takes a couple of minutes as I put on very little for day to day/work purposes:

one step face base (from Virgin)
brush over some bronzer
lipstick and/or gloss

I put on more when going out properly.

I rarely go out without any makeup.

galaxy · 12/09/2006 21:24

I do:

moisturiser
foundation
blusher
Eyeshadow
Mascara
Lippie

Takes about 5 mins for work or everyday or 10 for going out in the evening

I don't get the mascara but no eyeshadow thing, it doesn't work on me, looks odd

Jazzi · 13/09/2006 20:59

Thanks to MN I actually got up this morning and put makeup on. Can't say I felt any different or looked that different, but was 10 minutes late leaving the house.

spangles · 13/09/2006 21:10

I made the effort after reading this thread and put on some makeup this morning. I even managed to get DS1 to school in plenty of time as well.
I felt better for it so I am going to make the effort every morning from now on

Pinotmum · 13/09/2006 21:12

I put on a bit of beauty flash balm and tinted moisturiser, eye liner and mascara and lip gloss. The alternative is to look like I've risen from the dead - not nice!

JoolsToo · 13/09/2006 21:21

most days but not all - I always feel better when I do though

LaDiDaDi · 13/09/2006 21:44

I wear it everyday. One day I was in a hideous rush to work so didn't wear it. Several people commented that I didn't look very well and asked if I was feeling ok. I do moisturiser, then a light foundation, then benefit hoola and dandelion to give me some colour. Usually wear mascara, esp if wearing my contacts. Lipgloss or balm applied after I have eaten my cereal bars in the car on the way to work . It really doesn't take long and makes me feel loads better if I'm feeling miserable.

paddingtonbear1 · 13/09/2006 22:58

Nope - I only tend to wear it when going out. I cycle to work though (7 miles each way) so I'd have to put it on when I got there, and I never bother! I work in an office full of men!

expatinscotland · 13/09/2006 23:00

I do.

Takes 5 mins.

Primer
Concealer
Foundation
Creme blusher
Powder
Neutral eye shadow
mascara
