Just as a bit of fun and to be nosy really and maybe get some inspiration! I’m talking after washing/cleansing.

For me it was 11. Same as every work day.

Hyaluronic acid (whilst face still damp)
The Ordinary Buffet
Eye cream (éclat from Amazon-new this week)
Heliocare 360 spf 50
Concealer
No7 Hydraluminous foundation
Teeny bit of bronzer (no7)
Teeny bit of blusher (one from Superdrug)
Maybelline eyebrow pen thing
Mascara (random 3D one from Amazon that I love actually)
Bit of lip gloss (Rimmel)

I wash with a baby wipe rinsed out under the tap (I know that's frowned upon but it works for me, I've tried lots of products over the years but I always end up with sore, red skin or awful spots.)
Vitamin E oil
SPF 30

I use a gentle exfoliating wash in the shower.

huggzy · 27/04/2021 17:16

Oh I forgot my mascara! Avon super shock.

Iknowtheanswer · 27/04/2021 17:16

14, I think. Normal for a working day.

I was on an interview panel for a senior position the other day, in a area that has nothing to do with my normal working world. Not a single other person on the panel, nor any of the candidates, wore makeup.

before that go round the face, ears and neck with a flannel and a little liquid soap, much rinsing, then dry thoroughly.

Flambola · 27/04/2021 18:34

I just use water in the morning to clean my face, then apply:

Skinceuticals Vit C
Medik8 Peptide Serum
Heliocare Oil-Free Gel SPF 50
Elf Brow Wow on my eyebrows

I have a wonky face so cant be arsed with make-up at the moment, and I’m a bit ill too but I do like having my eyebrows ‘done’.

Flambola · 27/04/2021 18:34

Oh, I forgot, I also use Nuxe Lip Balm.

Off work today, so didn't bother with anything else (although tbh lately, the 'anything else' is only mascara! Masks FT at work so don't see the point in using a full face!)

VanillaSugar2021 · 27/04/2021 18:54

This is so weird. I was thinking of starting a “how many colours do you put on your face?” thread, ie foundation, blusher, mascara, lipstick etc.

Back to your OP - toning water, serum, moisturiser, primer, eye serum, lip balm.
