Make-up poll

[bananiem]

Just curious...
I'm a "sometimes wear it, sometimes don't" person. I rarely wear eye shadow because it gets in my contacts and makes my eyes itchy.
My sister, on the other hand, is an "option 2."

I'm way too lazy to deal with it, so I never wear it

 

[kdibattista]

I always put makeup on when leaving the house but it's not a big production... I only really wear eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara and lipstick. It takes me about 5 minutes.

Occasionally, I will wear foundation & blush (pictures, weddings, etc).

I have the same issue with my contacts. I just ordered Bare Essentials so I'm thinking if I like it, I may wear makeup more often.

I always wear makeup, it is just a habit. The amount I wear varies with the seasons--in the winter, I wear foundation, but in the summer I use tinted sunscreen instead. A little undereye concealer, a light dusting of powder, eyeliner (upper lid only), light coat of mascara, and a light lipstick. I can do the whole routine in under 10 minutes.

Sometimes I wear it, sometimes I don't.

Be careful if you wear your contacts when you apply this; the foundation, etc. is a very fine powder that can get in your eyes. I always end up inhaling it by accident!

Well, I bet you have beautiful lungs.

I don't wear a lot of make-up but I do wear it most every day. It's habit--after I take a shower, I put on make-up. Takes about 3 minutes total. But I don't freak out for anyone to see me without make-up.

 

[BeNJeNWaFFLe]

I'm the sometimes do, sometimes don't kind.

I am very fair (thanks grandpa for the Irish skin), so I wear make up to work so I look professional. On the weekends when I'm going out if I notice that that my eyes look tired I'll put on some powder, thats it. Otherwise I don't use makeup. It takes too long to apply and then take off. I don't have the patience for it.

 

[Briarmom]

I wear it very seldom. Mascara once or twice a week.

 

[cepmom]

I used to wear it everyday, in and out of the house. Now I guess I'm getting lazy or I just don't care as much . Most days I am just driving the kids to school and doing stuff around the house anyway, so I don't bother. If I have an appointment someplace or have to go to work, the makeup goes on. I am getting tired of my old standby Clinique makeup ~ I think it makes me look old or something ~ it's not the same as it used to be.
I just ordered some Bare Esscentuals so I hope I like it and if so, I'll probably wear makeup more often.

Well, yes, actually people always compliment me on my beautiful lungs

And I bet it's waterproof!!

I used to be an option 1 girl - makeup was a MUST! Christmas morning I'd get up at 5:00 am to get in a shower, do my hair, and put on makeup before we started opening presents. It was a production...drove my family nuts! Even when I went on a wilderness camping trip, I had to put on powder, eyeliner, mascara, and lipcolor every stinking morning. I was a little out of control...

Then I started having sensitive skin problems, and was told NO MAKEUP. Period. None. Nada. Zilch. Nothing. I freaked at the time, but eventually got over myself.

My skin is still sensitive, but much better than it was, and I can wear makeup occasionally (weddings, date night with DH, job interviews or similar), but most of the time I go without it. I certainly like how I look in makeup, but most of the time I just can't be bothered with it, and there's always the risk of a rash if I wear it too much.

 

[Rajah]

My option wasn't on there -- I only wear it for special occasions.

 

[Marseeya]

Same as Rajah. I go without far more than I wear it.

I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times in my life that I've worn full facial makeup, including foundation, powder, eyeliner, eye shadow, mascara, blush, lipstick, and lip liner. I probably wear foundation once a year. Lipstick, NEVER. Mascara, occasionally.

 

[DisneyJen0504]

I rarely leave the house without makeup on unless I am going to the gym and then running some errands. If I am going to be home hanging around, I wont put any makeup on at all. I feel comfortable with or without but overall, when I go out, some makeup goes on! Even then, I usually wear face makeup, mascara, blush, and lip gloss or lip stick. I only add eyeshadow to the mix when I am going for a night out or an event.

 

[Pooh67_68]

I never wear make-up.

I would put that under "sometimes wear it/sometimes don't." I feel that's the "I don't want to take the time/ I'm happy with how I look without it" option.
