Spinoff - Ladies - how do you wear your makeup?

[stinkerbelle]

It really surprised me in the other thread how many people just flat out don't wear makeup.

I would save so much money if that was the case with me...but I love buying/playing with it. I don't think DH has even seen my full MU collection.

I would say I'm "very lightly, every day". I do do MORE on speical occasions...but if I'm leaving the house, I pretty much at least have on mascara, cheek stain/blush, lip gloss.

What are you?

 

[caitycaity]

i wear mascara maybe once a week (m-f). i wear lipgloss or lipstick 2-3 times m-f. on the weekends if i am going out i always wear mascara, eyeshadow, and lipstick. if i'm not going out (and by out i mean going to the movies/dinner/club/bar, not running errands) on the weekends, i won't wear any.

i don't need blush (if i am not wearing foundation) because my face is naturally pretty rosy.

for special occasions i will wear foundation, but i don't like wearing it every day.

i guess i'm somewhere in between all natural all the time and for special occasions.

 

[HollyJoy]

Very lightly...everyday.

 

[MHopkins2]

Full face, all the time. I save eye shadow, eyeliner, and (usually) super racy lipstick for going out at night, but I put on foundation, mascara, lipstick, and powder to go to the grocery store. The one time I didn't would be the time I run into Mr. Ohhhhh My! at the deli, and I *hate* it when that happens.

I don't wear blush right now, because I've given up trying to fake rosy cheeks. I'm pale and I know it - why fight it?

 

[tonyswife]

On a daily basis, I wear moisterizer with spf and chapstick

On special occasions, I wear foundation, blush, eyeliner and lipstick.

 

[onecoolmama]

Some just on specail occasions.


And I actually laughed the other day when DH called me high maintance.

I will not spend money on the stuff. The make up I have..I think I have had for at least 5 years. I buy moisterizer for my chirstmas stocking and easter basket...

So, I think he appreciates it much more.


I also save a ton of money because I have never had a sip of alcohol.

I could not imagine racking up a billof over $100 at a restaurant in drinks!

stinkerbelle, I'm the same as you. BTW, thanks for the cheek tint tips. I went to Target on my lunch and bought the Sonia Kashuk Cheek Sheer (Sundrenched) and her Bronzer (Golden Creme). I don't get sun on my face so I figured I'd try this instead of a powdered bronzer that wipes off easily. I appreciate it!!

 

[coliebird]

Full face for me 99% of the time. On the weekends, it depends on what I am doing. If I am just hanging out around the house or going to my parents or something I don't wear any. I also don't use foundation in the summer (as long as I am tan). For work, I do it all - eyeshadow, liner, mascara, foundation, blush, lip gloss. If it is an evening out, I do my eyes up a little more and wear lipstick instead of lip gloss.

 

[Alice28]

Days I am just at home, or just have to run to Target or the grocery store, I usually don't wear any makeup. Days where I am meeting a friend for lunch, going out to dinner with DH, going to a family event, etc., I wear full makeup. Rarely do I just do a little- it's either nothing, or everything.

 

[disykat]

I don't fit in any of the categories either. I wear it when I'm working etc, but if I'm just aroung the house or running errands I tend not to. In the summer I tend to wear less. I also wear what I would consider to be light makeup, but since I am in my 40's that includes foundation - something I never wore when I was younger but I need it now to even out my skin tone and protect my face.

 

[Sandy V.]

Full face 99% of the time too. I'm one of those pale skinned blondes with no visible eyebrows or eyelashes. I look deathly ill without some man-made color!

(I wish I could get by without it, however, it's just not meant to be.)

 

[Saffron]

Light makeup (foundation or powder, mascara, blush, light, sheer lipstick) to work or school and special date nights with my BF, that's it.

 

[Seahag]

everyday, everything!
foundation, blush, eyeshadow, eyebrows, eyeliner, lipliner & lipstick (sometimes lipliner then gloss) I don't wear mascara ~ but reading this thread, I'm wondering why I don't !!!

Oh & I bring a makeup bag with me in my purse - it has powder, eyeliner, lip liner, a brow pencil, & about a dozen (yes really) lipsticks & glosses for touch-up purposes.


Woah ~ I sound high maintance !!!!

I don't work, so usually I'm just running around the house or running errands. So, I wear just a little make-up usually--light powder, a little blush and maybe lip gloss. If I'm going to be going out to lunch I might put on eyeshadow. If I'm going out in the evening I might put on mascara. If it's a special occasion, then I'll break out the eyeliner.

 

[CindysGusGus]

I break out easily. so not too much here and only when I go out. My work environment is totally casual so hardly ever to work. I still have a full clinique blush that I bought for my wedding almost 10 years ago...lol...I need to go through my drawers more often. i just threw out the clear mascara I wore at the wedding a couple of months ago. Do they even make that anymore??

 

[Pooh67_68]

I don't wear make up. I did have a little(very little) on when I got married and I just didn't like it.

 

[tnkrbell]

I LOVE Products!!!! Makeup,Hair stuff ect.......
I wear makeup everyday!! And if we go out I like to wear ALOT!!! I have fun with it!! I love being a girl!!

 

[CindyKansas]

I have never found the time to put make-up on. I have friends who wouldn't be caught dead going out to get the mail without their makeup. Not me, I just don't care to wear any.

I bought the cheek sheer in Sunkissed this weekend...looked REALLY dark on a first swipe...but it really sheered out nicely once I blended it.

I got my mom hooked on these things too...she prefers them to powder much better now!

Also - if you are looking for something with a bit more color for your face - Revlon skinlights Face illuminating lotions are nice...plus they have SPF in them. (15 I believe). the bottle is huge, but you just need a dab to put some color on your face.

Trust me -- no one wants to see me running around without my makeup!

(Think of the children!)

I like Benefit's boi-ing and even out -- as someone else already pointed out, a woman of a certain age needs to "even things out". And mascara -- let's just say I'd want it even if I was stranded on a desert island.
