Make up

luckylily · Gucci

Every day.

On a regular old day, like going to work or running errands, I just do a little foundation, blush, mascara, and lip gloss.

If I'm going out in the evening to a rock show or out w/ friends, I'll add the full eye makeup routine.

Alikat · Kate Spade

Everyday - except when I forget like today.

I always wear eye shadow, liner, and mascara. Sometimes add some bronze powder to my cheeks. I usually just wear Rosebud salve on my lips, but will wear gloss out at night.

I wear full makeup every single day. I don't have the most perfect skin, so I have to use foundation to cover up my little imperfections. Everyday I use the following:

Concealer
Foundation
Powder
Eyeliner
Mascara
Eye brow filler
Blush
Lip Gloss
Eye Shadow

I LOVE makeup and I actually enjoy applying it to see what different effects I can make.

I do full makeup every day, but it's very light/ natural looking.
The first thing my Mom taught me about make up was that the point of it is to look like you aren't wearing any- that kind of stuck.

I wear....lip gloss or lip stick everyday...doing a whole face seems time consuming...im pretty sure that u guys are pro's at this so how long does it take to get ready for work?

Elle · Hermes

I do a full face of makeup everyday too (if I'm leaving the house that is!), but like ILC it's a very natural look. My makeup routine takes maybe 10 minutes and includes:

Moisturizer
Foundation
Concealer
Powder
Blush
Brow gel
Eyelash curling and Mascara
Eyeliner
Eyeshadow
Lipstick
Gloss

You do it long enough, you get it down to a science!

make up takes me 5 minutes max. I have my morning routine down to 25 minutes including making coffee and packing a lunch! (I am NOT a morning person!)

About 2 minutes is spent on make-up... I can't be bothered to do more before work.

nunzi182 · Kate Spade

I spend about 25 minutes on hair and 15 minutes on makeup. That's not even including my shower. I have to get up a good hour and half before I have to leave for work

Christine · Coach

My everyday routine is a little bit of sheer foundation, some concealer where needed, powder, blush, eyeshadow....then I curl my lashes and put on some lip gloss. Done! Takes about 5-10 mins.

chanel_cheri · Nine West

I wear a little everyday. I wear a little concealer, blush, mascara, and Burt's Bees lip balm (). It takes maybe 5-10 minutes. I don't wear a ton of makeup because then I would have to do it everyday, which I don't have the patience for.

If I'm going out, I'll put on a little eyeshadow on in addition to my day face and a lot of mascara. I think I look weird with a lot of eye makeup on so I just don't wear that much besides mascara and the occasional eyeshadow.

blubirde · Chanel

My day could range anywhere from zero makeup (like today) to powder, concealer, eyelash curler, mascara, blush, eyeshadow, liner, etc. Most of the time it's somewhere in between with a bit of powder and mascara and that's it. Quite frankly, unless I go all out, I don't look that different with or without makeup so it's not usually a priority if I know I'm just going to sit in my office all day.

Oh and list of products:

concealer - Beauticontrol or Laura Mercier

powder - Stila

eyeshadow - Stila, kitten

liner - Stila, espresso

mascara - Max Factor 2000 calorie

curler - Shu Umera (sp?)

blush - Nars, orgasm

lips - whatever I feel like at the moment (ranges from drugstore to rose salve to pricey glosses)

Every day, I wear makeup on my "problem areas"... I use this covergirl stuff that's labeled as foundation but I don't put it all over or on thick... just on some scars on my chin and under my eyes, and wherever else is bothering me that day. Every day I also put on mascara and if I'm not wearing lipstick I put balm on my lips with SPF.

Other than that, I might do one other thing - lipstick, gloss, blush, eyeshadow, liner, etc.... but usually only one of those. If I'm going out at night, I'll use two of those. I'm always afraid of looking overdone because none of my friends wear anything besides mascara, so I feel ridiculous when we all go out and I'm the only one with shadow or lipstick! Of course I never try to make my makeup look overly noticeable, it's always subtle, but they can still tell. I'm starting a new job tomorrow, though, so I anticipate putting a little more effort in for a while to look nice every day.

I do varying levels of full-face make-up depending on the day. I ALWAYS have on mascara though...my eyelashes are blonde and I look absolutely freaky without it.

Generally:

- foundation
- powder
- blush
- base for eyeshadow
- eyeshadow
- eyeliner
- mascara
- eyebrow definition w/ pencil
- lipgloss

Maddie · Coach

I always feel like foundation, powder, and concealer don't hide anything on me, just draw attention to the fact that I'm trying to cover it up. This may be because I'm totally inept at makeup.

Anyway, 90% of the time I wear mascara.
70% of the time I also wear eyeshadow.
60% of the time I also wear eye liner.
40% of the time I also wear blush.
10% of the time I also wear lipgloss.

sfclinevandy · Coach

I always wear makeup. Bare minimum is just poweder and blush so I don't look washed out. An average day I wear foundation (Bare Minerals... so it's very light foundation), bronzor, powder, blush, eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara and lipstick.

Lilykind · Hermes

I put on a full face almost every day. Occasionally I forget or I'm in a major time crunch so I go without. The full face is 15 minutes when I'm rushing but if I'm being a perfectionist it's 20.

Foundation (Bare Escentuals/BareMinerals applied with BE Kabuki brush)

Concealer (more BM and Kanebo concealer pen for my eyes)

Powder (BE Mineral Veil)

Bronzer (BE Warmth)

Blush (Nars Orgasm)

Eyesahdow (not loyal, right now using Lancome Colour Dose which I think has been discontinued but I generally like to use creamy eyeshadows)

Eyeliner (Stila Smudge Pot in black applied with thin liner brush)

Curling eyelashes (Shiseido eyelash curler)

Mascara (not loyal, am currently using a gwp Lancome Definicils)

Lipgloss (I've used everything in the book, currently I have two Philosophy Kiss Me balms in my purse)

100% of the time, I have on at least some lipgloss or lipbalm. Otherwise, my lips would be dry and chapped.
