How much makeup do you wear?

On a daily basis I mean.

Personally I wear a wee bit of foundation (got acne scarring and red spots), a tiny bit of concealer on any dark areas, powder, pink blush and eyebrow pencil. I am off mascara at the mo as I've got an eye infection but I'm not missing it, I like looking natural.

So tell me, how much do you wear?

Bb cream, concealer under my eyes, brow pencil, pale shimmery eyeshadow, mascara, blusher. It sounds a lot when I write it down, but it takes me about 7 minutes to do the lot. And I feel so much better for it.

None.

Diggum · 17/03/2016 11:59

Mineral foundation, bronzer, blush, mascara, liner and eyebrow powder.

It would take mere minutes if it weren't for having to fill in my fair/overplucked eyebrows. The bastards.

quirkychick · 17/03/2016 12:00

More as I get older, but it looks like less iyswim. Takes me about 7mins too.

Tinted moisturiser/foundation, cream blusher, eyebrow pencil, a little grey eyeshadow, liquid eyeliner, mascara. I have had days where I've worn none due to eye infections (thanks dcs) but usually wear this.

frikadela01 · 17/03/2016 12:02

None at the moment because Im just too tired to be bothered. I used to just wear eyeliner and mascara. Ive never bothered with anything more on a day to day basis because my skin does not thank me for it.

RaisinGirls · 17/03/2016 12:02

I wear primer followed by foundation, then a dab of illuminator on my cheekbones, mascara and eyeshadow in neutral tones and a lipstick of pink / red variety. Looks very natural and not obvious at all. Takes less than 5 minutes to do

absolutelynotfabulous · 17/03/2016 12:07

Loads. Foundation, highlighter (to draw attention away from wrinkles), maybe some blusher, eye shadow, mascara, lippy. Takes 5 mins.

Lonoxo · 17/03/2016 12:08

I wear glasses so they frame my eyes. Eye liner, brow pencil, blusher, lip stick. Takes about 5 mins.

oldlaundbooth · 17/03/2016 12:08

Foundation, powder, bronzer, mascara, eyeliner.

I have worn this since I was 14. Every day unless giving birth or very ill.

SmellOfPythonInTheMorning · 17/03/2016 12:08

Foundation and blusher.

maybeIwillmaybeIwont · 17/03/2016 12:11

I wear eyeliner, eye pencil ( for underneath eyes, not too much) mascara, occasionally concealer, and always lipstick, that is all.

maybeIwillmaybeIwont · 17/03/2016 12:13

Meant to add, I've got this down to about 4 minutes.

ClaudiaApfelstrudel · 17/03/2016 12:17

eyebrow pencil, mascara if I have something important that day, blusher and maybe a bit of lippy if I cba

Piemernator · 17/03/2016 12:17

None, I'm mixed race and look like I'm wearing a little eyeshadow all the time and have a very even complexion. Bless my genetic melting pot.

Twinkie1 · 17/03/2016 12:19

Eyebrow powder, mascara and lip gloss.

I hate the feeling of foundation and will wear it for v special occasions but day to day I only go to the gym and run around with the kids so it's not something I'd bother with.

ForeverLivingMyArse · 17/03/2016 12:23

Primer, foundation, powder, bronzer, highlighting powder and blusher (face)

Eyeshadow (few shades blended), eyeliner (pencil or liquid depending on look) and mascara. Brow pencil and gel. (Eyes)

Lip gloss

Think that's it! Sounds loads but doesn't take more than 10 minutes.

gaggiagirl · 17/03/2016 12:26

All of it!
Primer
Green, lilac and yellow corrector
Contour
Foundation
Concealer
Powder
Highlight
Blush
Bronzer
Brow pomade and fixing gel
Eye shadow
Waterline liner, tight liner, gel liner
Mascara
Lip liner. Lippy.

I can take 10 mins or an hour depending on what time I have. And yes it does take all of those products to make me look mildly average Grin

superbfairywren · 17/03/2016 12:26

I don't wear makeup every day so about 3/4 days a week I just wear botanics radiance balm then the other days If i have time I wear foundation, blusher, highlighter, eye-shadow, liner, mascara and eyebrow powder, oh and lipstick!

Nabootique · 17/03/2016 12:27

Primer
Foundation/BB cream/tinted moisturiser depending on what coverage I need
Concealer
Blusher
Highlighter

I tend to forgo eyeshadow if I fancy wearing a bold lipstick. I love gel eyeliner as well, but tend to keep that for nights out.

5minutestobed · 17/03/2016 12:28

Foundation, concealer,blusher,eyebrow pencil,mascara and sometimes eyeliner

Drinksforeveryone · 17/03/2016 12:29

Most days nothing except for lipsalve.

If I am going somewhere more dressy, or on an evening I will use eyeliner, mascara, maybe a brow product and some neutral lipstick.

juniperdingleberries · 17/03/2016 12:29

Foundation
Powder
Eyebrow pencil
Mascara

I have a shimmery eyeshadow crayon and bronzer or blusher if I'm going out. Also have liquid and pencil eyeliner but not used those since before DD was born!

KnockMeDown · 17/03/2016 12:30

Moisturiser. Clinique Super Double Powder. Lip Balm

specialsubject · 17/03/2016 12:33

none. Have my own long lashes. Pluck brows a bit when they get messy. Wash face. Wear sunscreen. That's it.

MinnieF1 · 17/03/2016 12:33

Primer depending on the foundation I'm using
Foundation
Colour corrector for dark circles
Concealer for dark circles and any spots
Mascara
Eyebrow pencil
Blusher
Lipstick (usually velvet teddy or similar during the day).
Loose setting powder

If I have more time then I use bronzer for a subtle contour, liquid eyeliner and pencil eyeliner, eyeshadow and a highlighter. I would use a different lipstick if it was in the evening.
