God no. Not due to a lack of time, but because I look perfectly fine without it.

I do to go to work. Wfh I usually just moisturise and use some mascara for online meetings! The filter does the rest 🤣

weekends will depend what we’re doing but don’t wear all the time.

Only when I go into the office. - twice a week.

somanychristmaslights · Yesterday 18:00

Yep! I look like a troll without it.

Justaquestionplease · Yesterday 18:02

Yes, I work in a customer facing role so yes, every day at work. Most days when I'm not working too.

Svanam · Yesterday 18:03

Yes everyday unless I don’t go out which is unusual

BePoisedPlumUser · Yesterday 18:04

I used to but these days I wear it about twice a year. I just can’t be bothered.

TheChosenTwo · Yesterday 18:04

Not me, plenty of time and lovely makeup to choose from but I can’t be arsed. I do like lipstick so maybe if I’m going out over the weekend you’d find me with some lippy on but other than that, no. And I’m going out tomorrow but to the seaside, I will not be wearing any makeup!

MudandMoet · Yesterday 18:04

Me! Wouldn’t even walk the dog without it. Takes me all of 5 mins unless I’m going out out.

PivotPivotmakingmargaritas · Yesterday 18:05

Me - the lady who looks back from the mirror is old and has dull skin

To me make up is like coffee just what I do to wake up in the morning

mynameiscalypso · Yesterday 18:05

Yes, I do. Always have. I have a very quick routine but I like wearing it and looking less like a corpse than my natural pallor.

PinkEasterbunny · Yesterday 18:05

I wear make up every day. I do it for my own benefit. I look like I have been exhumed otherwise. It only takes a few minutes each morning.

NovemberMorn · Yesterday 18:07

I wear it every day too.😃
I don't wear any foundation, I look better without it, but lipstick, eye shadow and eye pencils are a must.

Pieceofpurplesky · Yesterday 18:08

Not unless I go out out - for example I off to a 40th tonight and will wear makeup. Midweek pub I won't. Never for work. I am really lucky that I have pretty decent skin and an even complexion so that makes it less necessary and I totally get I am lucky!

cityliving99 · Yesterday 18:09

Absolutely I do.
Concealer under the eyes, eyebrow filler, soft foundation, subtle blusher and lipstick. Every day.
I don’t want to look even older thank you

Carjuke · Yesterday 18:11

Every day . Takes about 2mins .Tinted moisturiser,eye liner blush stick and very pale pink lipstick.

WhiskerPatrol · Yesterday 18:27

I do, but only since I discovered tubing mascara that comes off in my bedtime shower. I don't mind putting on (minimal) make-up but don't like the faff of taking it off at the end of the day!

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · Yesterday 18:28

Always.
And I'm retired and live alone.

Abracadabra12345 · Yesterday 18:29

I do if I’m going to be leaving the house. I’m older and everything starts losing definition and merged into your face! So I bring definition back to my eyes and lips and feel and look better for it.

As others have said, it takes mere minutes and feels like self-care, so why would I not “bother”? The only thing I don’t like is removing it at the end of the day - very tedious

UsernameHoarder · Yesterday 18:30

Yes. Well for work or leaving the house.

I wish I didnt have to. But I look ill without it. And I have done it forever, so a really hard to habit to break from that perspective too.

pIumwinegum · Yesterday 18:31

I always do. Even if I’m not going out anywhere.

It’s become a relaxing habitual routine and I do it because I like it.

gingercat02 · Yesterday 18:33

5 days a week at work, just tinted moisturiser, mascara and lippy. I try to have one day off over the weekend, often Sunday.

Not me, never actually! I have a great skin so i dont need it

Darkdiamond · Yesterday 18:35

I wear a full face of makeup every day and have so ever since I was a teenager. My face is perfectly nice and fine without it but I just love the definition it gives my features and genuinely adore new products and techniques. I have timed it and it takes me 7 minutes to do a full face. I leave home at 7am each morning for work and also get 3 school aged kids out the door and have just always made it part of my morning routine. I use a tinted spf, concealer, blush, eyeshadow, eyebrow pencil, liquid liner, mascara and lipstick. I like going to work looking my best and make up definitely makes me look better. I was brought up to always look your best and I wouldn't go to work or to a social event knowing that I could look better but just...didn't. Going to the shops, doing a few errands and hanging around the house with no make up doesnt bother me either.

I do because it’s not Halloween every day (also wear on Halloween)
