And that is very weird for me! Would normally only be when I don't leave the house or I am sick. I can't remember the last time. But my skin felt so fresh and nice. I just put on sunscreen and went out. I didn't feel self conscious and no one ran away screaming so that's a plus 😁 this could be a new thing for me! At least on days that I'm not at work.
Does anyone else go makeup free?

Yes, everyday. I have probably only worn makeup a handful of times in my 50+ years. I am odd - I own that.

Almost every day. I never wear it at work and only put it on for special occasions and church on Sunday’s.

I frequently go makeup free. I only wear light makeup for work and usually nothing at the weekends and during vacations.

I’m doing it more and more these days. At nearly fifty my skin is looking better than it has in 25 years, though I wish I had started quality skin care earlier. I have lash extensions and my brows are tinted so my eyes always look like I have something on them. They’re what I want the focus on anyway, so that and a bit of tinted lip balm and I feel pretty good going out without a full face of makeup.

I rarely wear foundation but my 'go to' is a little under-eye concealer, mascara and a tinted lip gloss/balm. Sometimes I'll add brow colour and a wash of blush so never anything heavy. I don't leave the house without mascara but other than that I'm pretty light on make up most days

I would never go out without make up either. Then there was the occasional day, which quickly turned into I hardly ever put any on now, mainly just special occasions.

I was one that never went out without makeup. As I have gotten older, I realized that people that know me and love me don't care if I have it on or not. I wear it to church on Sunday but for church meetings during the week, I don't wear it. I go out most days without makeup now. LOVE it! Why did I wait until 5 years ago to come to this revelation?

Always. I just never bothered to be honest.
My dd always wears it, and when we went to Israel she did not. She came home saying how freeing it was and since then has worn just a little bit and is happy with that.

I've worn very little makeup since I was a teenager. I hated how liquid foundation felt. My anxiety told me I looked silly and clownish when I did (plus mean girls in high school laughed at me any time I tried to fit in).
I had full make up done by a professional to get tips and colors. It made me look 40+ when I was in my early 30's. Not what I wanted.
Now if I wear anything, it's tinted moisturizer, mascara, and a little eyeshadow. Even then, I feel weird because I still can't shake the old anxiety.

I always wear makeup to work. I have discovered that the term for my features is "low contrast" - pale skin, pale lips, light colored eyes, sparse lashes, fading brows, not much in the way of visible bone structure - so I feel that without makeup, I appear featureless. I don't like it.
I skip makeup on the weekends if I'm just running to the grocery store or something.
My makeup routine is short and simple. I do wear eyeliner pretty much every day, but I've been applying it so long that it takes no time at all. CC cream, concealer, a simple eyeshadow, liner, mascara, brow powder, blush/contour, lipstick. Less than 10 minutes. I don't think I look particularly "made up" when I'm done - I just have more visible features.

Another one who only wears on sunday and special occasions. The only skin care product I use is a generic face cream from Walmart after my shower. I was blessed genetically, I guess, I have pretty good skin, not many wrinkles. My dd all said they hope they inherit those genes.

I have worn makeup almost every day since I was 14. On the rare occasion I go out without it, people who know me ask if I'm tired.

I usually skip it on my days off, but I wouldn't be caught dead without my face on at work or in a social setting. The grocery store--don't care at all.

I’ve noticed that when women at work, who normally wear quite a bit of makeup ( around ages 20 - 40 ) don’t wear any ~ they look so much younger. And, in a good way. Since I hardly have any eyebrows or eyelashes, that’s the only things that get made up. Days off, none !

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

I'm usually full face for work every day but the constant humidity here the last few months has made me dial it back. I wear it because I love putting it on (my am zen moment). The last time I wore it and started sweating before I left the house I surrendered. As soon as it gets cool though I'll be right back on it.

The closest I get to no makeup is a light coverage of my foundation. I have red spots, so I like to have those evened out. Otherwise, my skin is in good enough shape. Just wish it was an even color.

I don't own any makeup and would have no idea how to put on anything more than lipgloss (now nail polish is a different story).
I had makeup done professionally once and I hated it. I think I look a lot younger without it. I could use some help with puffy eyes and dry skin in a few areas but I don't think makeup would help those problems.

I turned 50 this year and I am almost always make-up free. Special occasions are the only times I drag out the make-up and that's when I notice it all needs to be replaced from the last time I wore it! This past weekend we were camping, and I noticed someone putting on a full face in the camp bathroom, it was HOT and MUGGY this weekend and from my personal, limited experience with makeup I really couldn't imagine spending that kind of time putting on makeup that I am going to sweat off in less than ten minutes. I will say that both my daughter and I are fortunate in that we have long dark lashes and borderline bushy eyebrows so that helps somewhat. When I DO wear makeup, people start asking questions ... "Is the circus in town??"

Very occasionally I'll go out without any makeup, my skin hasn't been good lately so I feel more confident with it covered.

I am another "low contrast" person like Merge. Red hair faded to light strawberry blond (no grey, thankful for that), pale skin, pale brows and lashes. I would love to just forget about makeup, and at age 66, you'd think I wouldn't care, but I look so much better with some brows and mascara. I do wear light makeup to work, and if I'm going somewhere where I will meet people I know, but I have been going without on my early weekend grocery runs. My life would be easier without vanity!
