Do you wear make up every day?

I used to wear make up every time I went out the house. Now, I only bother when I'm going to work really.

Is this lazy? It takes about half an hour to do it and I just can't be bothered!

Yup.

Foundation, powder, mascara, liner, lip balm. Done. Since I was 14.

I find large sunglasses and bright lipstick does the trick in summer.
In winter I might make more of an effort, to hide my sallow looking skin and dark shadows.
If going out, I put on a full face, takes me around ten minutes.

"Presumably they are the same people who pop up on Bath vs Shower threads insisting you can clean your whole body in 3 minutes and any longer is just laziness"

Unless I am washing my hair it is perfectly possibly to shower in 3 minutes. I don't understand why someone couldn't (disabilities excepted).

I always include lipstick in my makeup CremeBrulee

Only for weddings!

Yes, but it takes maybe 4 minutes max. I look groomed and more alert and thus feel more confident.

NickyNora · 28/05/2018 21:00

Everyday. I wouldn't leave the house without makeup.

lemonsunshinecake · 28/05/2018 21:01

Yes every day. Foundation, mascara and clear lip gloss. Takes 5 minutes.

SodTheGreenfly · 28/05/2018 21:08

Beyond the garden yes but.

Foundation with powder combined
Under eye concealer
Blusher
Bit of shimmery powder on cheekbones
Mascara
Lippy

About 3.5 mins spread over drive to work at the lights and when I park up. Other times before I drive off.

If going to a function a bit of eye shadow and eyeliner. 5 mins and I brinv the make up either into house or work Grin

Yes - every day! It's fifteen minutes of 'me' time and feels almost like meditation.

After having had my brows microbladed, I now just use mascara.

I do stick to a skin routine though, so I guess that's where I spend my time to save on makeup application.
