Some moisturiser (Nivea Q10) after cleansing.
Burts Bees lip balm (which I've now put down, and annoyingly can't find!)

If I was outside I'd have gone for some suncream too, especially after falling victim to face-mask tan lines after 9 hours outside on Saturday.....

Just a smile Smile

Tulipomania · 27/04/2021 19:44
  1. Moisturiser with SPF built in and eye cream.

I don't even bother to wash my face, although it gets wet anyway in the shower when I wash my hair.

RampantIvy · 27/04/2021 19:46

Blimey, some of you have high maintenance regimes. Are you going out to work?

As I have been WFH since last March I just wear serum and moisturiser. I went to Tesco after I finished work, but as a face mask covers most of my face there is no point in wearing make up.

When I was office based I wore foundation, blusher and lipstick as well. I don't wear eye make up as my eyes are too old and wrinkly and I wear glasses.

Twinkie01 · 27/04/2021 19:49

HandforthParishCouncilClerk · 27/04/2021 19:53

I’m working on the mantra that skincare is the new make up. I work in an acute NHS hospital so was getting really bad maskne, and have it a lot of energy into my skin to try and turn it around, so I now don’t wear any make up - I have tinted lashes and brows, and just use a tinted moisturiser and lip balm alongside my regular skincare.

  • origins exfoliating face wash
  • pixi glow toner
  • pixi vitamin c serum
  • glossier priming moisturiser rich
  • rapid brow serum
  • NARS tinted moisturiser with SPF
  • a bit of dr pawpaw on lips and cheeks
FreekStar · 27/04/2021 19:55

I used bioderma face wash in the shower, followed by:
Liz Earle tonic,
Drunk Elephant B-hydta and vitamin c serum mixed together,
Marula oil around eyes,
Drunk Elephant eye serum,
Paulas Choice Glow spf30.

Then make-up:
By Terry Foundation,
Lancome concealer,
Laura Mercier setting powder,
Hourglass bronzer
Hourglass blush
Urban decay mascara,
By terry grey shadow around lash line,
Anastasia dip brow.

FreekStar · 27/04/2021 19:55

Oh and Mac Cosmo lipstick!

KeyboardWorriers · 27/04/2021 19:59

Water in shower

Cucumber oil

A small amount of blusher

Benefit eyebrow stuff

That's it, too many products just make my skin go bad and then I need more make up to cover it up!

If I want to make an effort I would add a little mascara and lipstick/gloss as well but I don't use any foundation./creams etc as they just make me break out
