Make up wearers - How often do you touch up of a day ?

[habibihabibi]

I have a new colleague who is older but a classic beauty, perfectly groomed and made up .So I've stalked her and seen she she takes a little tote on each trip to the loo and touches up as well as hot brushes her hair with a battery brush thingy, tops up deodorant , perfume and brushes her teeth.
Excessive ?
I'm game to add at least some of the rituals as always just do am makeup and on occassion top up lipstick meaning I look crumpled and crap by the commute home.

Top up of powder and lippy.

Wow. I don't touch up. I put a numeral lip colour on and after that's gone I just use a tinted balm that I can apply at my desk. Use and expensive foundation that still looks good at the end of the day.

Lipstick lots mainly because my lips feel dry without it

Powder maybe once more in the day with a brush.

Quick extra brush of hair and a spritz of perfume

I'm considered the 'made- up' one amongst my friends

When i did nights and 80 hour weeks in a really dry environment, i used to brush my teeth, spray on some deoderant, brush my hair and slap on some tinted moisturiser and lip balm just to feel human- 2-3 times a day or night.

Now I work 12 hrs, 4 days a week and officebsed and the habit is down to 1-2 times a day

Literally never. On a big night out I might powder my nose and put some more lippy on but that's it!

I put makeup on the morning. Sometimes I wash it off in the evening. That's as much as I can be bothered to do.

I wear a full but light make up for work. I choose a good foundation; Max Factor lasting performance, a slick of mascara, gel blush and lip stain as it lasts. No need to top up.
I find decent deodorant works for the entire day. I might spritz with a floral scent ,but never reapply.
I think it is important to well groomed at work; it doesn't have to involve a lengthy process unless say you work on a cosmetics counter.
I have done some really dirty/ physical jobs but have never skipped on the slap.
Hair wise, I just rub in some leave in conditioner for afro hair and spray with cheap hairspray to tame it.

I might manage make up for the morning school run, but then it does not get re-done at all.

If I don't manage it in the morning, I might put some on for the afternoon run. I also might not, like today! Totally make up free.

I could not be bothered with the routine your colleague seems to have going on. I have always worked in care until recently, so barely even time to go to the toilet, let alone all that faff!

Never touch up. Burts Bees tinted lip balm at a push but just if my lips feel dry.

Never

Hey Flumplet. That's me too.

violetbunny what are the eye drops?

We have a cabinet in the ladies for our make up and san pro. I brush my hair a few times as it is fine and gets straggly easily. I might touch up make up a little bit if I am going to see a client but generally don't bother. I wear EL Double Wear and that stuff doesn't budge!

Since I got a decent primer then I don't need to touch up unless it's really warm and my oily face gets out of control.

I don't wear lipstick. I have quite full lips and think I'd look silly although I try every now and then. Then rub it off

I think less make up is more if you want to look groomed. Heavy make up is for nights out!

I don't touch up my makeup - I reapply hand cream and lip balm throughout the day and that's it.

I keep my lipstick in a pocket and touch that up. I check the make up on my nose hasn't gone weird. I might "zush" (spelling for this technical term?) my hair or check my clothes.

I touch up lipstick but only after eating. I carry a powder compact with me but rarely use it except for the mirror, I used to be quite shiny and have to repowder but my skin has settled down as I've got older. I use clear lip balm through the day as well. I never do anything with my hair once I'm out the house.

I take my concealer in my pocket or stashed in my bra if I have no pockets and touch that up if needed, and frequently re-apply tinted lip balm... that's pretty much it.

That said, my morning make-up always includes the bloody brilliant Benefit primer and equally bloody brilliant Estée Lauder double wear foundation which tends to stay put unless I sweat like a pig...

Never touch up.

Hardly have the time to have a wee.

Sometimes I redo my lipstick and I do take deodrant in my bag and use if I feel I need it (if it's very hot or I've had a meeting etc). I don't brush my hair as I never wear it loose. If it was loose though I would brush it constantly otherwise I look like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards

I barely manage to put makeup on most days. I don't touch up during the rare times I do though. I don't even brush my hair once it's done in the morning - but it tends to be up in a pony most of the day.

Maybe I should get a wee brush for my bag...

I don't have children, I'm just easily entertained.

Considering the weather here in HK. is unremittingly humid, hot and given to extreme summer rain storms in addition to my stressful, 10-11 hour job every day working with children, I bring a sizeable bag of makeup with me to work because I need to take any and all available opportunities to make sure that nothing has disappeared. I have a beauty shop nearby but I'd rather I didn't have to buy something if I needed it. I have a waterproof pressed powder but I alternate between sweating at shivering at work plus I feel ragged after I leave so it's nice to touch up.

I've tried waterproof loose fixing powder and setting sprays and (supposedly) waterproof foundation but they never really work.

I don't wear any makeup to work just if im going out or at weekends my skin is much better for it
