I work in a school, I'd stand right out in a ton of makeup plus eyelashes. I'm not allowed eyelashes or nails unfortunately.

No one really wears more then the basics in work as it is looked on as unprofessional and unhygienic. I love makeup especially bright red lipstick but I save the full works look for nights out.

I've already given my list but didn't realise it was brands. My makeup is a mix of benefit, no 7 and rimmel.

Mydearchild · 19/12/2015 19:38

My routine

Dior nude foundation

Bobby brown blusher

Maybelline long lasting lipstick

Clinique mascara

TelephoneIgnoringMachine · 19/12/2015 19:40

Nothing, I don't think I've worn any since last year. I have about 15 minutes to get myself ready in the morning, including shower.

I am a nail polish addict though... I can do that at night or between housework.

Clinique CC cream
Lancome concealer
Chanel powder

bonzo77 · 19/12/2015 19:46

Clinique powder blusher
NARS highlighter.

Both very ancient (over 10 years old) but seemingly bottomless!

JennyOnAPlate · 19/12/2015 19:50

sneepy · 19/12/2015 19:53

Benefit Dandelion blusher
Lippy usually Clinique Black Honey

Takes about 2 mins. If I didn't have sensitive eyes I'd do a bit of eyeliner & mascara as well. I do get my eyelashes dyed which helps.

Ista · 19/12/2015 19:53

mascara
blusher
tinted lip butter

hollieberrie · 19/12/2015 19:55

Primer (Smashbox)
Foundation (a Brazilian brand called O Boticario - I got obsessed with it when i worked over there)
Corrector & concealer on eye bags- Bobbi Brown
Eye liner pencil - Maybelline
Eyebrow pencil - Maybelline
Mascara - L'Oreal Telescopic - tiny brush so good for short stubby lashes like mine!

If i dont wear any make up i look ill. (Am pale and very blonde)

ThatsNotEvenAWord · 19/12/2015 19:57

hollie people ask me what's wrong if I've not got any on! Made a rod for my back I think

hollieberrie · 19/12/2015 20:01

Ha, Thats, me too! If I'm having a make up free day at home and have to pop out i always go to a further away supermarket so i don't bump into anyone! Am SO glad we dont live in the old days before make up was invented Wink

SparklyPenguin · 19/12/2015 20:20

Laneige Cushion foundation or BRTC BB cream sheerly applied

This is for an everyday face, for going out I would add primer, concealer, highlight products, eyeshadow primer, eyeshadow and lip gloss

Normal day:
Maybelline tinted moisturiser/cc cream type thing
Eyebrow pencil in brown

Whatever lip balm is at hand
Not long at all, less than 5 mins including putting on eye cream and moisturiser first.

Evening:
Maybelline primer
Max factor foundation
Eyebrow pencil in brown
Chanel eyeshadow - pearlescent up to brow, dark grey and a glittery one on lower lids
Grey eyeliner on lower lashline, quite heavy
Black eyeliner on upper lashline
Not sure of the make of mascara but it has a white one you apply first to thicken and lengthen and then a black one to colour them
Chanel end lipstick
10 mins or so if I don't have to go hunting for any of my makeup in dd's room!

BestIsWest · 19/12/2015 22:42

Lancome Teint Miracle foundation
Lancome under eye highlighter
Lancome concealer if my under eye shadows are bad that day.
Boots no7 Pop and glow cream blush
Benefit Roller Lash mascara
Boots no 7 eyebrow pencil and eyeliner or if I have more time, Elf eyebrow gel and powder

For evening I might wear eyeshadow and lipstick but as I get older I find less is more.

Wow, there are some burstig make-up bags!

For every day, I wear:

Mineral powder foundation - Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish
Eye shadow - Urban Decay (whatever I fancy from the Naked 2 palette)
Mascara - Max Factor
Lipstick - I have all sorts

That's it. Takes a couple of minutes.

I've never used any contour product, blusher, concealer, liquid foundation, false eyelashes, or anything on my eyebrows. If I'm going out I usually ramp up the eyeshadow and maybe add some eyeliner (Barry M).

PitPatKitKat · 20/12/2015 02:37

Chanel concealer if I have a spot/scar
RMS illuminator on cheek/brow bone
Whatever clear lipgloss or red lipstick (plus liner if lipstick) I have at the time
Eyelash extensions

A minute to find where I left my handbag, minute or two to get made up.

Bare Minerals foundation
Clinique eyebrow powder
Bobbi Brown eyeliner
