If going out in the evening...

Do you do the whole skincare routine in between?

So remove day makeup, cleanse, tone, eye cream, serum, moisturise... reapply make up...

No

Ladyformation · 12/01/2018 16:39

If I'm at home, yes (I work from home, so this isn't infrequent).

If I'm already out, at a meeting or whatever, then no, I'll just top up.

YES always if I’m at home getting ready. I wouldn’t go out with make up on which had been on all day as I think it looks much better fresh. And of course I’m cleaning my teeth etc so may as well wash my face too

DuckOffAutocorrectYouShiv · 12/01/2018 17:03

Not the whole thing but I will cleanse and moisturise. I don’t do the ‘active’ steps (acids, retinols etc) as I would get irritation.

Straight from work - no, just brush teeth and touch up face, might add a darker eye shadow.
From home - yes.

rightknockered · 12/01/2018 17:41

I blot with a tissue, rebound and touch up eye makeup and lips, perhaps blusher
If at home, and I have little time (often) I just wipe over with toner and then top up. Obviously I'm minging

Thistlebelle · 12/01/2018 17:48

Yes I wash my face and moisturise before reapplying make up.

confusedandemployed · 12/01/2018 17:48

Never wear make up in the day, so no.

happymummy12345 · 12/01/2018 17:50

I don't ever wear makeup or do any skin care routine. So no..

PasDeDeux · 12/01/2018 18:16

I reapply my makeup only because oil has built up beneath my foundation and powder over the course of the day (yuk) so I feel fresher just doing it all again! Mascara is a bugger to remove and reapply though as my wipes never quite get it all off. If I was really pushed for time I'd probably just go over any bits that needed a top up of foundation, powder on my T zone and new lippy.

PasDeDeux · 12/01/2018 18:19

Oops forgot to fully answer your question, yes I would cleanse and moisturize but I don't actually bother with serums and toners (what is a toner?).

Doobigetta · 12/01/2018 18:24

I tend to partially cleanse and start over. So I remove eye makeup, and run a pad soaked in micellar water over my face, but I don't keep going until the pad comes away clean like I do before bed. And then use either moisturiser or serum to stop tightness and make a smooth base, but not both.

PaperdollCartoon · 13/01/2018 00:31

No I just touch up make up
