I never touch up my face, but might apply lippy if I have an appointment/meeting etc

Work with a girl who puts lippy, face powder and brozer on every 5 mins. No joke.

I'm the same as you, on in the morning with possible lippy touch ups if really needed.

I really should touch up my face at least once in the afternoon though because when I look at myself come 6pm I look as rough as sandpaper.

QueenQuootieSpookypieBee · 21/10/2006 12:54

lipgloss/vasaline every few hours... if its a long day, ill touch up with concealer & maybe mascara aswell after about 6 hours.

TheDaVinciCod · 21/10/2006 12:55

touch up at lunchtime and brush teeth

GhoulsToo · 21/10/2006 13:01

same - not at all except for lippy when/if required

Sheraz · 21/10/2006 13:03

Bit of powder at lunch time if really shiny, apart from that what goes on in the morning staya on until bedtime ( unless going out when I put it on with a trowel!)

lulumama · 21/10/2006 13:14

lunchtime...and then not again unless going out ....

powder, blusher & lipgloss..just to enhance my staggering natural beauty you understand...!

NotSoUseless · 21/10/2006 14:11

never. put once in the morning (not always must admit) and that's it. lipstick or lipbalm when remember.

Do not take me as an example though 'cause I am one of those that forgets to take it off in the eve.

Spidermama · 21/10/2006 14:16

I never touch it up unless I'm going out in the evening.

Actually I'm quite proud of myself. I only started wearing make up again recently when I went back to work. I even buy new clothes.

This revelation follows years as a SAHM shambling around like a sack of old laundry.

I don't reapply the basics but frequently reapply lip gloss throughout the day

Full make-up off and reapplication if I'm going out in the evening.

i re-apply face powder half way through the day. sometimes add a bit more eye-liner. always re-applying lip gloss.

CristinaTheAstonishing · 21/10/2006 15:30

I only re-apply lipstick.

Pre-children - every hour

Post-children - in the morning and at an absolute max, once more at 3pm before I pick up DS1 from school if I am looking really rough [grin[

FreakyFloss · 21/10/2006 23:13

I apply in the morning before I leave the house and try to avoid at all costs looking in a mirror afterwards as it is always a let down and I never have the time to re apply. Since having DS I rarely wear lipstick and find that lip blam/gloss results in my lips getting used to it and sore without it.
