What make up do you wear on a daily basis if any? And how do you find the time/inclination to put it on?

[bubbleandsqueak]

Hi all, I have decided that I am in dire need of a make over, I am 42 years old and only ever wear make up when I am out for an evening and even then its a bit sparce, a bit of mascara and lippy.

I admire people who are not as lazy as me and make up every day, how can I motivate myself to get up that little bit earlier?

I have a fair colouring and blonde hair " whats hot and what not" for one such as I.

omfreakin'g getorf you are pedant and you just used 'trial' as a verb.
What will you give me not to start a thread mentioning you by name?

Everyday I wear:

Concealer (sometimes foundation if I can be arsed)
Blusher (Most important bit)
Mazzie
Eyeliner
Bit of eyeshadow to disguise drooping upper lids
Lippy

And I'm good to go! I honestly look like a corpse if I don't wear any.

Oh! I forgot, I draw my eyebrows in too. Not a line, just to darken them.

Onebat - I will give you my purple glittery eyeliner

Name and shame me, I'm a big girl, I can handle it

Cod and Maidamess - how do you use eyebrow pencil without looking like Jackie Stallone?

you buy a light coloured one

CominAtch Getorf ...

I wear make up on most days, today I have none on.

This what I wear and it takes me 5 minutes to do.

cleanse and moisturise, put on Natural High Radiance Balm after I've cleaned my teeth

Pressed powder to give an even base
2 different shades of eyeshadow
blusher
mascara
lipgloss as I leave the house

I dont wear makeup

I look ok with minmal make-up (i'm 21) but prefer to wear full make up.

I wear,

(I've got chocolate coloured skin and big eyes just to paint a picture)
skin illuminator

eye liner

a lighter eyeshadow bellow brow bone

eyebrow pencil, to lengthen my brows- as i was an idiot over plucked them when i was around 15 and they look short and gross. Thinking about having semi-perminant make up eybrows as its a pita. (has anyone had this?

mascara

blusher

lip balm

Thats it i think

I am 46 (going on 47) and wear tinted moisturiser, Touche Eclat concealer, a beige cream eyeshadow-come-base and Clinque "quick eyes" eye pencil (olivey green), mascara on top lashes only, eye shadow if I have time (light pinky brown and brown),lipstick if I have time, tinted lip balm (Clarins for pereference - usually a coral colour), power blusher if I have time - if not I just use some ipstick or lipbalm on my cheeks. Tkae 2 minutes (quick), 4 minutes (with more care).

I am also fair, with blue eyes, some freckles and reddish/blond hair.

My eye brow pencil of choice and IMO the BEST (and having very sparse eyebrows but very dark hair nessecitates some drawing on of the brows) is Model Prefer Eyebrow Pencil from QVC.

It really is amazing, doesn't budge, lets you do feathery lines to look like hairs and build up colour.

And one colour suits all, you just whack more on if you need it. I look very odd if I don't do my brows.
