Poll: Makeup

How much makeup do you wear on a regular workday? Going out? To the gym? Do you ever leave the house without makeup? When?

Re: Poll: Makeup

  • Regular workday - at least blush, mascara and lipgloss/lipstick.  But I've been trying to be consistent in adding a bit more to the normal rotation without going overboard.

    If I'm going to the gym in the morning, I'll go with no makeup on...maybe just a little lipgloss.  But I won't wash my face if I'm going later on in the day and I already have makeup on.

    I've gone to the grocery store and on walks around my neighborhood with no makeup.

  • Regular workday is concealer, powder, bronzer/blush, eyebrow pencil, mascara. Going out and I add eyeshadow and liner. I want to get better about reapplying lipgloss.Going to the gym or anywhere out of the house I at least put on concealer, powder and bronzer. I do this in the morning at my parents' house before I go downstairs too. (Crazy, I know!)I finally remembered to post this after a conversation a few weeks ago with some gfs who were shocked when I told them that no one in the last seven or eight years has seen me without makeup besides H. And maybe my sister when we lived together.
  • I put on the whole gamut every day, even if I'm not going out, which is most days lately. The only time I've left the house without it in ... Um, ever ... was at 2 am to go to the birth center. The only thing that changes per circumstance are the colors I use. But unless I'm well rested and tan, I really need it. And when does that happen for me? Psh. :)
  • I really don't know how guys go around with no makeup on to help their complexions, etc. every day of their lives. heh
  • If I wear makeup it's always the same amount. I wear mineral powder, eye liner, eye shadow and mascara. If I'm feeling fancy I'll put on some lip gloss but usually I just wear plain old Blistex. I want some red lipstick though. I don't know if I can pull it off but I'm going to try.

    I wear makeup to work (except for some Sundays if I'm feeling lazy). I don't always wear makeup on my days off work unless we're going to do something.

    I have gotten better about makeup, I think I said I rarely wore makeup last time we talked about this.

    JealousE. Yet again. Damn men.DP, thanks for making me feel less crazy with the always wearing makeup.
  • I always wear foundation, eyebrow pencil, eyeliner, and mascara.  My eyelashes/brows are blond, so my eyes always need some extra color...

    I'll wear lipstick if I'm going "out", and blush if it's a special occasion.

  • workday is powder foundation, light blush, and either mascara or eyeliner.. usually mascara. Lately I've been wearing both bec I feel like the darker hair makes me look more pale unless I have a little more "pop" to bring out my eyes. I alternate between my new favorite lip gloss (Thanks, Madisen!) and chapstick for lips.

    I don't put makeup on for the gym, so if I go in the morning, I'm usually naked-face. I don't like to go anywhere else without at least a brush of foundation and mascara or eye liner, but if I'm not going anywhere, I don't put on makeup.

    I know!!! Maybe their skin is just more rugged or something. Of course they don't have lovely womanly hormones to help them look like hell every other week. YW, LB :) My mom's mom started it--the first thing she did every day was put on powder from her fancy compact and Revlon Fire and Ice lipstick that she then wiped off as a stain and dabbed on as blusher. Mom's favorite comment to me is, "You're not wearing enough lipstick." :D
  • I hardly ever wear make up. I try to wear at least powder and blush everyday, I've been carrying it around in my purse more to help me remember, but unless Im going to see someone "important" in my book, I don't do makeup.  

    I've never been a dress up kind of girl.  I mean, I can when I want to, but usually I dont want to... Wink

  • For work, I wear concealer, foundation, mineral veil and blush for some color. With my dark hair and no tan I would look like a ghost otherwise. Also an eyebrow filler, eyeliner and mascara.

    I love to play with make-up when I go out, I will wear eyeshadow and I love to wear bright red lipstick.

    I have no problem running to the grocery store or whatever with no make up on, I have a pretty nice complexion with the exception of black eye circles.

  • I try to always put on foundation and mascara and will usually wear eye shadow.

    I have no problem going without though.  Mainly because i'm lazy.

  • For work I wear foundation, concealer, powder, blush, sometimes bronzer, a highlighter (usually Benefit high beam or eye bright), some brown eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick.  If I go to the gym (which rarely happens lol), I don't wear anything except maybe some chapstick.  I hardly ever leave the house without makeup though.

  • I don't wear makeup to work ever because I work with kids, and I just don't see a point. Occasionaly I'll throw on eyeliner, but I feel like if I do that, I look incomplete, so most days I just save myself the effort.

    If I'm going out with friends or with DH, or to church, it's foundation, powder, bronzer, blush, eye liner, eyeshadow, mascara, lip gloss.  Except today. I was crazy made up for boudoir pics yesterday and I just couldn't bring myself to do anything to my face today after I washed all of it off. I actually toyed with the idea of leaving it and pulling two days out of one face of makeup. I'm gross, I know.

    I thought about doing that with my wedding makeup. I had airbrush makeup and it was so awesome. I wish I could have that everyday.

  • Daily - concealer, foundation, powder, blush, mascara

    Gym - concealer, foundation, powder

    I wear more if we're going to dinner or out with friends or something.

    I can't think of a time I've gone out without any on.

  • I like how I look and feel more confident when I do full make up.  However, I rarely do it. 

    For every day at work, I do undereye concealer, mascara and lip gloss.  Sometimes I'll add eyeliner and eye shadow.

    For going out, I do all of the above with foundation and blush added.  And heavier on the eyeshadow.  This is my favorite face. 

    I will run errands, go to the gym, walk the neighborhood sans makeup.  But, if I already have it on, I don't take it off.

  • Daily- powder, chapstick and mascara. If it's summer, I drop the powder. I'm pretty low key when it comes to work makeup

    Gym- nothing. I sweat too much and it would just come off.

    Going out- I try to spice it up a bit. I will wear eye shadow and some fun lip gloss.
