I own one 10year old eye shadow pallet. I wear eyeliner most days but don't have my shit together enough to wear eye shadow everyday. Does anybody?

I love make up and wear it most days , even if I’m not going out of the house I put some on.

I always wear eye shadow and use eye crayons which I swish over my eyes lids and blend with a brush.

I work from home mostly, have to go to the office once a fortnight. Working from home I wear no makeup at all.
Going to the office is interesting as I have to be out of the house by 6am so its a rush in the dark!
Primer
Bare minerals wafted about my face
Brows, these take the most time, Benefit grimmer Brow plus a pencil
Single colour eyeshadow
Mascara
Sweep of blusher

I can do my work makeup in about 10 mins.

Winenotttea · 22/02/2019 21:36

My eyebrows probably take 7 of the 10 mins, mine are non existent and need all the help that they can get!

I do the primer whilst putting the kettle on, by the time I’ve made my cuppa I’m ready to do the rest!

I have followed the beauty and the boutique no make up make up look for the last 4 months as I was a complete novice and needed a complete overhaul and new look. It's fantastic, simple and quick and looks great.

Winenotttea · 22/02/2019 21:40

I’m going to the hairdresser tomorrow and like to have ‘eyes’ done so that I can judge my hair. So, tomorrow’s routine (after cleanse etc.) will be...
Brows
Mascara

Beyond that I can’t be arsed!
My skin has improved hugely since working from home and not piling crap on it all day every day. When I do go to the office the first thing that I do when I get home is clean all the makeup off.

sizzledrizz · 22/02/2019 21:41

tinted moisturises/cc cream
mascara
blusher if looking peaky and not had much sleep
tinted lip balm

Winenotttea · 22/02/2019 21:44

Wearing makeup makes me feel more tired in the evening, I’m sure it’s psychological but as soon as I take my makeup off I feel much more awake and refreshed.

Pinkyyy · 22/02/2019 22:24

Throw away that 10 year old eye shadow palette. Make-up has a use by date, which admittedly I always overstretch, but certainly not to 10 years. Have you not seen the stories of women going blind by using out of date makeup?

Craftycorvid · 22/02/2019 22:39

None to done in about 10 minutes (but been doing full slap since my teens):

Serum and Ren eye gel
Combination of BB cream and Nanoblur
Setting powder
Eye shadow and eye liner
Brow pencil and gel
Mascara
Blusher (Nars Orgasm)
Lipstick
Quick spritz of setting spray.

Mymadworld · 22/02/2019 23:58

Foundation
Bronzer
Blusher
Eyeshadow
Curl eyelashes then mascara
Vaseline eyebrows & lip

Takes 5 minutes and I rarely go out without it and if I do people always ask me if I'm ok or tell me I look tired Blush

SapphireSeptember · 23/02/2019 00:17

Moisturiser.
Two eyeshadows, applied with fingers. I like the halo effect, so I apply the darker shade all over my eyelid and under my lower lashes and then pat a lighter, often shimmery shade into the centre of my eyelid.
I then pop on some eyeliner in pencil form.
Apply highlighter to my cheekbones.
Put on lipstick or lipgloss.
I've got a sample of a MAC foundation and if that works out I might start wearing it. But I'm lazy and like to do the colourful stuff more. Blush

halfwitpicker · 23/02/2019 01:05

Foundation, powder, mascara, eyeliner. Concealer if I can be arsed
