I don’t wear makeup ever. Not even special occasions, just never.

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. This is me. I have fair skin with very pale eyebrows and lashes. I always put at least a little mascara on and usually brow gel. Even if it's just to run to the store when I have no plans to go anywhere else for the day. Most days I wear full makeup, but I think I have a pretty light hand with my makeup.

I don't bother. Haven't for years.
Who the heck am I trying to impress? And when I wear it, I feel self conscious, constantly worried about rubbing my eyes and messing it up, or it rubbing off on my clothes.

I probably wear makeup 3-4 days per week. I have fairly good skin and lash extensions, so, most days it is lip balm and go! I love makeup, though! And, wish I had time to do a full face more often.
People think lash extensions are high maintenance, but, really, they are the single thing that helps me be low maintenance most days!

Yes, everyday. I have probably only worn makeup a handful of times in my 50+ years. I am odd - I own that. Also part of the oddball club. I did buy some Burt's Bees blush and lip colour last spring. Every once in a while, I wear it LOL. Otherwise, I spend my time on skin care and I usually use natural or homemade LOL. I just don't like chemicals on my face, never have.

I wear makeup most days, but some Saturdays when I am just out running errands, it feels good to slather on a bunch of moisturizer and let my face reset for a day. My normal makeup isn't heavy - it is really probably all gone by the evening, but I don't worry about reapplying unless i'm going somewhere special.

Erin I’ve had mine for about three months and still love them. They really aren’t hard to maintain, and the less stuff I put daily around my hyper-sensitive eyes the happier they are. I’ll always make sure keeping my extensions filled is in my beauty budget .

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. Or sick !
I just don't feel like me if I don't wear it.

I’m a low contrast face also. Light skin, blonde hair, blonde brows, light brown eyes, short pale lashes, pale lips. I wear makeup 95% of the days. I’m so glad my DD got her father’s very dark brows, eyes and lashes, with pale skin. She loves makeup but she doesn’t look washed out with a bare face.

From High school thru my early 30s I wore makeup daily, it was just part of my routine, no matter the day of the week. After pregnancies, my skin changed and I feel very uncomfortable (itching and burning feeling) from mostly all brands of makeup. So now most days I just do my skin care stuff and no makeup. My boys tell me "You look like a different lady" when I wear makeup because they don't see it often.

I used to wear makeup only a couple times a year. Now I wear it almost daily, but I only wear mascara and do my brows and have recently added a little blush. So it isn't much.
I am going to look into these lash extensions though!

I generally wear make up everyday, but I don't use many products and the colors are always neutrals, so I doubt if people would even notice if I skipped it occasionally.

My hair and face are just not that striking in their natural state. I guess I just like to be "fake"! Only I don't put down women who don't like to do as I do. Unless you have invisible or unruly eyebrows...then I'm judging you so hard.

I almost always wear make up when leaving home. I wear foundation, mascara, lipstick, eyebrow fill in. I have some facial redness, and blotchy spots as well as under eye discoloration. I think I looked washed out and worn out without it. I feel and look better when I have my makeup on.
Wearing makeup is a personal choice. No right or wrong. Great for those who don't wear it, great for those who do wear it. Do what you prefer. To each, their own.

If I’m not leaving the house I might go makeup free but otherwise I always wear BB cream and mascara. Even when we go out that’s all I wear.

I wish I were a person who didn't need makeup. Actually, I can't tell you how much I wish that. My sunglasses are my favorite accessory.

Depends on where I'm going, what I'm doing, etc. Today I met my friends at the park with our kids so they could all play. I went makeup-free. Tomorrow I'm meeting another friend for coffee, no kids. I'll do my usual- concealer under my eyes, mascara and a tinted lip balm.

I never leave the house without make-up. I always wear primner, a little foundation, blush and a little lipstick. When I don't wear it people say I look tired ( I guess it's a nice way to tell me how bad I look..lol ).

I do, but I feel self conscious about it. I have rosacea that makes my face really red. I get a lot of comments about being sunburned. In the summer, I go with it! I wear make up to work, out for special occasions, etc. But, not to run errands and not when I'm just going to be at home.

I wear it when I go out with my friends and to church on Sundays. Otherwise (which is most of the time), I don't wear any.

Me! I did in high school but after the dui accident in college, I stopped. No matter what brand I tried, my scars were irritated, more visable, and my skin breaks out.
I occassionally wear lip stick and eyeshadow.

I used to be a full makeup girl. Then menopause came along and it all sweated off in a half hour. I had to adjust my routine. ( I also had to stop blow drying my hair, even on low heat it just triggered the mother of all hot flashes)
I kept it really simple after that, but still always brushed in my invisible( almost non existent) brows.
After I stopped coloring my hair, I saw that the change to grey requires more color in my face. Now in my 60’s, I find the most fresh and youthful look for me is well moisturized skin, with cream blush in a pure clear color( usually pink), and some lighter matte eyeshadow to bring my eyes out more and cover darker discoloration from age. I always still paint on my eyebrows, but I found much better stuff at Ulta and I’m pretty happy about that. If it’s a special occasion or I’m just in the mood, I use eyeliner and mascara, but my eyes are big enough that I look fine without it.
If I’m emotional or going somewhere where there might be tears ( happens more than I wish) I skip all eye makeup but the brows.

I'm 54 and I've tried to be a makeup person. I'm just not.
I wear a touch of concealer and a little eyebrow pencil...and that's glamming it up for me!
My mom blames it on sending me to summer camp when I was a kid. I dunno. I do know I don't like all the fuss.
It is a major relief once we hit summer break because I don't do anything to my face but wash it and apply sun screen. Oh, and chapstick.
