It really depends on my mood - sometimes I wear loads of makeup, other times I barely wear any. I do prefer wearing makeup as I feel it makes me look more polished.

Generally, I wear:
Foundation (Guerlain, Dior, Estee Lauder, Laura Mercier or Mac)
Powder (Nars, Guerlain or Mac)
Blusher (Mac, Inglot, Chanel or Laura Mercier)
Eyeshadow (cream products from Laura Mercier, Mac or Chanel)
Mascara (Clinique, Estee Lauder or L'Oreal)
Highlighter (Becca or Mac)
Lipstick, gloss or balm (any brand really, but currently using Guerlain, Clinique or Mac a lot)

It takes 5-10 minutes if I'm in a rush, but I can spend ages if not having anything else I need to do. I like playing around with makeup and find it quite relaxing.

Every day:

Eyebrow make-up, currently Maybelline double ended pencil/powder

Maybe 5 days a week:

Tinted moisturiser (Laura Mercier) plus a natural lipstick, which I don't retouch so is probably gone by 10am.

Full make-up (once in a while)

As above plus concealer, powder, eye primer, neutral shadow, eyeliner, mascara.

I virtually never use blusher but love nail varnish.

I love makeup and the moments spent applying it are some of my favorite minutes in the morning.

I use Dr Jart BB cream or Lily Lolo mineral foundation, a stripy blusher/bronzer (Lily Lolo Rose Glow), UD eye primer and eye shadow (also on my brows and used wet as eye liner) and lipstick. My lipsticks are from Chanel, Nars and Kiko, and I am using up my hoarded eye shadow palettes.

Nars setting powder
Kevyn Aucoin sculpting powder and ambient lighting powder for contour and highlight

I'm a receptionist at a high end salon so have to be fully made up. I enjoy it but it sometimes makes me sad I don't look much different for work and on nights outGrin

Wow that's a lot of answers, thanks all!
i am looking to get some make up with a little Xmas bonus I got.
I seem to only suit brown or beige eye shadows so I feel limited in different shades as all like for like really.
