How many things did you put on your face this morning?

[OshKo]

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)

This whole tread lays out clear and simple the level to which women's insecurities are preyed on for profit.

Yep this

Cleanser/toner and moisturiser.

Some days I make an effort and put some make up on. Today is not that day!

Moisturiser

Think it really depends on what you’re doing for the day. I WFH and am on client facing calls most of the day so need to look presentable/hide the bags from being up with kids all night/wear what I would usually wear to the office. On weekends/days off I just usually wear sunscreen/tinted moisturiser and a bit of mascara.

Vitamin c serum

Why does enjoying making yourself look good make you insecure?

Please explain.

Just water in the shower I never use products wouldn't know where to start!

Tinted moisturiser, Benefit primer, browny grey eyeliner and browny black mascara. Later I will be putting on a light green face covering.

I like wearing the eyeliner and mascara even when I'm not going anywhere - it's part of my basic self-image. But I'm going to work today (and cycling too, so definitely no point in fancier make-up as I'd probably sweat it all off).

Just some water this morning, will use no products on my face all day and then do a home facial this evening. It's a little routine I've got into this year, my skin has been so much better for it.

Cerave foaming cleanser
Tropic moisture surge
Ultrasun spf 50

Beutypie tinted moisturiser
A little bit of benefit under eye concealer
Glossier Boy brow
Tinted lip balm (Nivea or burt's bees)
Urban decay naked eye 0palette

@FreshFaceTime

Once a week.
I double cleanse, exfoliate, tone, face mask, eye cream, moisturise and face massage. So it's like an expanded night time routine, really.

I use Garnier cleansing milk, Garnier pure active exfoliating scrub, neutrogena toning spray, I change the face masks according to my skins need so I keep a few options in never spend more than £2, simple soothing eye balm, nivea sensitive night cream. That's what I use at the moment but I do change it a lot

Under eye concealer

Prefer to save money on toiletries and feed my skin from within with meat, fish, vegetables, minimal sugar/alcohol etc.

Some water, a towel and then a pair of spectacles. Shortly (after the contacts go in) some high factor sunscreen. Did I miss a memo?
