Re: Make - up

  • I honestly rarely wear any make-up at all. When I do, the only thing I do is some cover-up/powder and blush

  • I don't wear it most of the time, because I don't feel like there's a good reason to and I don't like having things on my skin.

    I will wear it:

    1.  When I think there are going to be pictures taken

    2.  When I'm going out with certain girlfriends who I know always dress / look cute, because I don't want to feel ugly

    3.  If there's a special occasion

    Generally I just prefer to put on a moisturizer and go about my day.  I figure that since I'm married, I'm done trying to impress anyone.  :) 

  • i talked about this in the other makeup thread--but---

    for work or casual weekend meet ups with friends- i do minimal makeup- blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner.

    most weekends - no makeup

    a birthday party, or something where more pictures will be taken - foundation, bronzer, blush, eyeliner, eyeshadow, lip liner, mascara

    and then there's super special events - all of the above, + lashes.

    Just like emy's comment from her coworker yesterday, I think that's such a rude thing to tell someone.  It's the supposed polite way to be like, 'Hey, you look like $hit.'  Every time someone says to me, 'Gee, you look really tired' I want to punch them in the face because I'm like, 'You think I don't know what I look like right now?'  No one *ever* says, 'Gee, you look really tired so maybe you should go home and take a nap.'  It's always, 'You look really tired, hey, here's some more work to do which will likely cause you to be up late.'

  • I really don't wear makeup either. I like makeup but I feel like I don't have the time or skill to really do it right. I will occasionally wear it for an event, but that's pretty rare.
  • I pretty much wear makeup every day, at the very least to cover my dark circles and even out my skin tone.

  • I will wear makeup today.. i just have this huge zit and i wanted it to go away so i didn't want to put makeup on it this morning.

    Anyway, I usually wash my face in the shower, use witch hazel, then moisturize I used to use a primer but i ran out and have been to cheap to buy more! Then i use concealer under my eyes. I use foundation all over my face, powder, blush, sometimes bronzer too. Then, I put on eyeliner and mascara and a little bright color in the corner of my eye and under my eyebrows. Tada! lol.

    Today- washed face, witch hazel, alcohol on zit, moisturizer. That is it. I look a hotfuckingmess as i stated in a previous post.

    oh.. i also always wear chap stick. and lipgloss over that when i remember. i like my makeup to look really natural. so yea..

  • I wear it every day. This is my morning routine:

    Wash face with clarisonic

    Put on moisturizer and under-eye cream

    Brush and floss teeth

    Put on eyeshadow primer and face primer

    Apply eyeshadow (one shade all over the lid, one in the crease, and then highlight/accent color)

    Apply eyeliner, curl lashes, apply mascara

    Apply foundation

    Apply powder

    Apply bronzer and blush

    Finish with lipstick or gloss (usually just gloss)

    It really only takes me 5-10 minutes.

    Yup, this is me, too... except, tbh, I've never really worn makeup that much. But DH makes me feel pretty enough that I don't feel the need to bother anyway. :)

  • I rarely wear (but own a stupid a lot), but when I do I put on:

    * BB Cream (which is this Korean foundation-esque thing but it's not foundation, that just makes your skin look super smooth and polished)

    * MAC eye cream base

    * MAC black eyeliner on my upper lid and lower rim

    * some sort of sparkly light pink MAC lustregloss

    * NARS orgasm blush

    * whatever mascara I can find

    * spritz of some perfume, I usually alternate between my two Vera Wang Princess sprays or Coco Mademoiselle

  • After reading your routines I'm embarrassed to admit my make up routine. I can shower, get ready, do my hair and make up in about 45 minutes though.

    I have a very similar routine. I wear full makeup for work and if we are going out on weekends. If I'm just running errands or bumming around, I do my full skincare routing and put on tinted mouisturizer and mascara.

    kinda? This is when I leave the house:

    Pre-make up: 

    moisturizer, under eye cream, face primer, eye primer, T zone mattifier

    Eyes:

    eye shadow base, 3 colors of eye shadow (highlighter, lid and crease), liner, mascara primer, mascara, eye brow pencil

    Face: 

    liquid foundation, loose powder, blush, bronzer, under eye concealer, highlighter, setting powder 

    Lips:

    Long wear lip gloss (matte), shiny lip gloss and lip liner

    Now that I'm looking at it, I swear I don't know how my routine got to be so extensive 

    Embarrassed 

  • I wear primer, concealer and powder daily (bare minerals), along with subtle eyeshadow, chapstick and/or lip gloss.  If i want to put in an effort i'll add mascara.  I only occasionally wear lipstick and eyeliner, etc.

  • Just mascara most days! Eyeliner if I'm feeling fancy.

  • Nothing. I use moisturizer constantly though. I have somewhat olive toned skin, light olive tone but it's there and I don't feel the need to cover it. I also hate the smell and feel so I don't bother. Don't even own any! Lol! But I'm lost without moisturizer. I have an eyelash curler too, but that's because my eyelashes are super long and every now and then I curl them and it looks like I'm wearing mascara.
