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

Never wear it, never have. Don't think I have great skin but can live with myself as I am.

Do you go to work five days a week without makeup?

I go everywhere without makeup. Work, the pub, parties, my wedding, every single place

I wear it every day apart from a once in a blue moon Sunday if i just cba and i'm staying in.
I wear it for myself mainly , part of my job is public facing and i have to give out advice and information and i think i look more professional wearing it.
I do also wear it for my husband because i know i look better and i think its nice to make an effort in your relationship, he is always clean ,smart and takes care of his appearance so it works both ways.

I wear a small amount of make-up each day.

I might wear a little more when I go out in the evening but nothing 'heavy' or excessive. It's just not 'me'.

Yup! Every day and have done since I was 14!
Not loads though - bit of concealer on my cheeks, a sweep of illuminating blusher/highlighter, eyeshadow as eyeliner and lipstick. Takes about 5 minutes.

I do, but not a lot. As a bare minimum I put some concealer under my eyes because otherwise I look awful, like genuinely unwell.

I do. Foundation, concealer, blush, mascara, lipstick. Takes under five minutes (I’ve timed it). I mustn’t be too heavy-handed because multiple people have said to me ‘of course you don’t wear makeup’ whilst I’m wearing it, when they’ve never seen me without it. I don’t know if that means I’m doing it well, or that I shouldn’t bother.

I think it makes me look better. But I’m also of normal intelligence and so realise I don’t make the decision to wear makeup in a vacuum, presumably I’ve been influenced by societal expectations in this as in many other things.
