Do you routinely wear makeup?

[madelise]

I don't anymore. When we were first dating, I'd even wear makeup to sleep because I didn't want him to see me "ugly". Yes, overdramatic BS lol.

After I started getting comfy, I stopped wearing makeup unless it's for a special occasion, where I dress up anyway. I think my (ex)boss got annoyed that I wasn't looking cute at work anymore. WOOPS!

But the perks is.. my skin looks beautiful now that I don't break out as much!

JW how often you LIWs doll up for your men?

I wear makeup everyday, but I do it for me and not for anyone else! I feel so much more put together, and therefore much more confident, with makeup on. For work and everyday stuff my makeup takes me literally 5 minutes to do, and then on special occasions or whatever I'll take a bit more time and do something a little more dramatic. I'm not very good at applying makeup or figuring out what types of styles look good on me, so it's usually quite simple.

I'm the same. I wear make-up to work everyday and when I leave the house to go somewhere and do something more elaborate for more formal events or going out at night. It takes me 5 mins to apply the everyday stuff as well- just foundation and light eye shadow.

I routinely wear blush, mascara and lip-balm. Hair in a ponytail. If it's a special occasion I'll pile on a little eyeliner, lipstick, bronzer and curl my hair.

At home I seldom wear make-up (apart from whatever is left over from the day), but to be fair, neither does he

Rarely. I haven't worn makeup regularly in YEARS. I do if we're going out or that sort of thing, but everyday? To work? Nope. Someday I will again, I'm sure. But sleep deprived student and working makes me want the extra five minutes of sleep in the AM! I do prefer myself with makeup, like star sparkle, it makes me feel more confident and put together. Someday.

Poor SO probably sees me one day on the weekend with makeup. It's his fault for telling me how "beautiful" I am without makeup! Ha!

Buttt in reality, even though we live together, our work schedules collide so I only Get to hang out with him on weekends! He works 8-5 or 10-7 during the week and I work 3-11:30pm ! So it's kinda like we both live alone?? Lol

ditto - only i'll put i USED to do this. This year has been a little harder and the makeup doesn't come out as much, but those are also my go to's

I only wear mascara and a tad bit of foundation to smooth things out. If I'm getting "dolled up" I'll put on a little bit of bronzer and eyeshadow/eyeliner. yay for being low maintenance!!! (and having oily skin so nothing stays on well anyway)

 

[Phdecorate]

Yes...very light sheer foundation, light bronzer or blush stick, mascara and a little eyeliner mostly. I would never go to work w/o make up but I see clients all day. I would go out without it on the weekends....or if I was not working, especially in the summer. I hate feeling like I have a lot of make up on, although I sometimes think I would look a little more polished with a little more make up. I think I look young for my age. I have been known to get carded...yes STILL it will be good when I am 50!!!!

you ladies make me feel like a complete slob

I *never* want to wear makeup! I want to just get permanent eyelash implants, or something LOL (yes, I've looked into them! they are done! HHAHA, except since they use your head-hair, it keeps growing and growing and you have to trim them. LOL!!!!), and just color in my brows. I hateeeee spending 5 minutes wiping off eye makeup, and scrubbing my face raw to get the foundation off.

Madelise <-- lazy.

 

[princesss]

I wear make up every day. If I leave the house, I have make up on. Not just mascara, either. A full face. I didn't have video chat dates with BF without make up on until I went to visit him and he saw me 5 minutes after getting out of the shower (when I look AWFUL) and when I was horribly sick. After that, I figured he's seen me in a bad enough state that the odd chat without make up every few weeks wasn't going to kill me.

head hair on your eyelashes?? sounds FREAKY!!!

I'm lazy too. the first few months together he always saw me with makeup. then less and less and when I'm pulling 16 hour days between school and work, well, I'm lucky if i remember deodorant...nevermind makeup

luckily i have olive skin tone and pretty even complexion. if i feel i need SOMETHING i put on my tinted primetime eyelid primer...it gives a nice gold-ish glow.

but let's be honest. he sees me 1% of the time with makeup on haha. I also feel like he appreciates it more when i do full makeup

Me too! (first part)

AND, goodness you really are like ships in the night! Do you have a routine of leaving notes to each other or anything? You must cherish the weekend!

My SO prefers no makeup (on anyone), and I'm not very put together to begin with, so it works out well for both of us! I never wear makeup to work. If I am going out I will conceal my spots (cry) and dark eye circles (Does anyone else have this? Mine have always been so grey!), curl my eyelashes and put on a liiiiiiiiittle bit of mascara, and blusher. Usually I wear a bright red or fuchsia lip too, but not always.

It's nice to know that I'm not the ONLY one who rarely wears makeup anymore.
