Survey - Hair and make up every day ?

Sorrento · 26/04/2009 22:12

Does everybody do this ?

I think I must be completely letting the side down but we were out for lunch today, not planned, had been to the park.
So I'm in a black jumper and jeans, ponytail and no make up.
Looked around the restuarant and all the other women, without or with children were dressed to the nines. So I insisted we went back to the park for research purposes and again, like they've just stepped out of a salonnnnn

Yes. But I look a fright without it. I have a friend who is so fresh faced you honestly can't tell when she's not wearing make up and she has lovely flowing blonde locks as well

mrsmaidamess · 26/04/2009 22:14

Yes make up everyday. I'm not big on hair styling, luckily my hair looks ok when I get out of bed, I don't even brush it.

If your trip to the restaurant was unplanned why should you be 'dressed up'?

LetThemEatCake · 26/04/2009 22:16

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I wish.

No.

a slick of eyeliner if I can manage it, otherwise big sunnies.

hair is never brushed and has to be un-dreadlocked every few weeks.

A bloody fright, me.

Yep - hair and make up every day! All you need is some tinted moisturiser, blusher, mascara and lipstick.

Use dry shampoo if your hair looks a bit greasy.

KingCanuteIAm · 26/04/2009 22:18

Nope, I do hair and make up for nights out once in a blue moon. The rest of the time it is jeans, black (smartish) jumper and ponytail. I have more interesting things to do with my time than sit in front of the mirror

If you wanted a more balanced answer, then maybe yes.

geordieminx · 26/04/2009 22:23

Full make up every day - 10 mins,

Hair straightened, and product on, hair short so if not it sticks up in proper bed head style. - 5 mins.

I wouldnt go out for the day without both, although I would nip to the corner shop for papers first thing

TonyAlmeida · 26/04/2009 22:23

of course! Fgs you all have 10 minutes.

hf128219 · 26/04/2009 22:25

I am actually rather snobby about people who don't

used2bthin · 26/04/2009 22:27

Yes, light make up and straighten hair every day, I am trying to just wash my hair every other day though atm.

TonyAlmeida · 26/04/2009 22:27

Me too
ALways made myself look nice even when pn

mrsmaidamess · 26/04/2009 22:28

pn?

smugmumofboys · 26/04/2009 22:29

Hair brushed, but not straightened every day. Tinted moisturiser with spf and mascara as an absolute minimum.

I look old and tired without slap on these days. At 40, I'm just not freshfaced enough au naturel.

KingCanuteIAm · 26/04/2009 22:30

Tony, just because we all have 10 minutes does not mean we all will want to spend those 10 minutes on hair and make up. Especially if the only reason for doing it is so that you won't be judged by other women who, frankly, should know better!

Make up everyday if going out of the house, but less in the summer if i have some colour on my face.

Hair - wash it everyday, dry with hair dryer, gunk on after if going to work. If gets greasy and can't stand it being dirty.

Even if I lived on the Isle of Sheppy in a yurt by myself I would still put make up on VERY DAY. For me.

mrsmaidamess · 26/04/2009 22:32

EVERY DAY

CompareTheMeerkat · 26/04/2009 22:33

I brush my hair.

I don't put on makeup.

SallyJayGorce · 26/04/2009 22:33

I have rosacea so I wear make-up every day to look normal but wouldn't wear anything but mascara otherwise.
