I've just put on a full component of war paint and thought, "Wow. I sure am wearing a lot of stuff on my face." Maybe I'm weird, but I thought it could be fun to list - in ascending order from skin up - what I've put on since my morning shower.

Skin Care:

Boots Time Delay Daily Brightening Tonic Water (AHA)
Indeed Hydraluron gel
Olay Regenerist Serum
Clinique City Block SPF 25

Makeup:

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector
Colore Science Sunforgetable Powder Sunscreen SPF 30 (I do the Michael Goss trick of powder under foundation)
Clinique Redness Solutions Foundation
Lancome Effacernes Longue Tenue (concealer)
NYX taupe contour
YSL Touche Eclat (highlighter)
Nars Orgasm blush
Touch of pressed powder buffed in (Michael Goss trick)
Soap and Glory Archery DIY Brow Bar (powder and wax)
Bobbi Brown eyeshadows
Bourjois felt tip liner
Seventeen Falsify mascara
No 7 lip liner
Lancome lipstick

I promise I'm not orange and scary!

Wait rose essentials bar soap to wash face
Grape seed oil and no.7 perfect and protect spf15 day cream mixed together
Make up
Dior glow maximiser on eyes and temples
Clarins instant concealer around nose
Benetint
Tiny touch of bourjois bronzer
Natural collection clear mascara on eyebrows and lashes before curling them
No 7 gold tube tubing mascara- black
Occasionally Clinique eyrshadow in olive in my martini
Vaseline on lips
Sounds an awful lot when written down but don't use much of any of the make up. Just enough to look less pasty and asleep!

Lancome genifique
Simple light day cream
Nivea lip balm

Maybelline the eraser
Tarte pressed blotting powder

fabulassie Michael Goss = Wayne Goss? What's the logic of powder under liquid?

Me - normal day, mostly spent indoors

skincare

Clinique Take the Day Off Balm (cleanser)
Sarah Chapman Skinesis Age Repair serum
Olay total effects 7in1 serum & moisturiser (SPF20) - not keen, using up

make up

Max Factor False Lashes waterproof mascara (plus shu uemura curlers)
Clinique chubby stick for cheeks in Amp'd up Apple.

About to do evening skincare which is same cleanser but includes an acid, uses a different serum and a different moisturiser (richer with no SPF).

pourmeanotherglass · 14/04/2015 22:29

A splash of water when in the shower. That's it. Feeling a bit intimidated by the long lists. Should've known to stay away from style and beauty.

Water (face flannel in the shower)
Boots Lift & Luminate Serum
Boots Lift & Luminate Eye Cream
Olay Regenerist Day Cream

Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish Mineral Powder
Urban Decay Naked eyeshadow
Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara

Never used cleanser/toner
Never worn liquid foundation, blusher or concealer.
Never touched my eyebrows.

I do use eyeliner if I'm going out, but not every day.

Water
Neals yard frankincense intense concentrate

I've been volunteering at the food bank today so no make up. Don't use a product to cleanse in the morning, just water. The Neals yard stuff is gentle enough to use round eyes and works brilliantly, my skin looks very good at the moment.

avagosling · 15/04/2015 12:17

Wow can't believe how many products people use on a daily basis...
It's just water and some camellia oil for me in the morning.
A bit of bronzer and mascara, good to go..

theDuchessInTheDodgeCharger · 15/04/2015 17:20

either water in the shower, or Lancome face wash ( often the first one )
E45 all over

then when at work, depending on my mood and what I see in the mirror :
-mascara ( L'Oreal at the mo )
-little bit of eyeshadow ( Bobbi Brown at the mo )

sometimes, when my skin feels dry, pure Argan oil all over. I even use it to clean my face sometimes, instead of water....

crassula · 15/04/2015 17:25

I rinse my face with water and put sunscreen on it (which I assume also acts as a moisturiser). Sometimes (rarely) I wear make-up, but never foundation or powder - just eyes and lips and a little blusher.

miaowmix · 15/04/2015 17:30

Today Ultrasun Factor 30 tinted, plus Korres watermelon lip balm. I am working from home though and it's 25 degrees here in London...

Tomorrow back to a few more products I imagine. But as soon as it hits 20 degrees or so I hate wearing much more than BB balm or tinted moisturiser on my skin.
Tomorrow probably Chanel Vitalumiere, Benefit roller girl mascara, and Becca tint lipstick. Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner in the evening...

PeskyRat · 15/04/2015 17:38

Cleaned face in the morning with Olay regenerist cleanser/scrub thingy and water, then put on some bravura hyaluronic serum and bravura moisturiser.

Make up today was Skin79 BB cream mixed with some bronzing gel, collection2000 concealer on spots/mark plus a bit of maybelline age rewind concelaer under eyes. Pat of rimmel translucent powder.

Swoosh of body shop shimmer brick type peach blusher.

Aubergine revlon eyeliner (brings out the greeny side f my eyes).

Tiny bit of mascara.

Rimmel chubby stick on lips in a pinky colour.

I'm 42 and my face looks dull and flat without make up!

Branleuse · 15/04/2015 17:44

neals yard rose oil.
YSL fusion foundation
eyeliner
2000calorie mascara

emzii206 · 15/04/2015 17:45
  • Lush Ultrabland cold cream cleanser
  • Lush Greased Lightening Witch Hazel Gel
  • Lily Lolo mineral powder concealer
  • MUA eyebrow pencil
  • Collection 2000 gel eyeliner
  • Max Factor (no clue which!) mascara
And then use the two Lush organic products again to take it all off with...so not too high maintenance! I can usually do it all in 15 minutes...and since I've been using Lush products instead of mainstream chemical cleansers/toners/moisturisers, my skin has never looked better!
