Nope! Never have, don’t plan to start! I told my husband just the other day that when I die he’d better make sure they don’t put any on me for the funeral! I’m dead, I’d rather just look dead than have that on me forever!!

Sunscreen and occasional lippy
Can’t tolerate anything on my eyes,never have been able to
Not on my nails either and don’t like the look of fake acrylic nails with lots of fancy coloured polish at all

I’ve found my tribe, LOL!   I can’t have anything around my eyes for an extended period of time or they will start to really, really itch. Even the hypoallergenic stuff makes me itch. So rather than fight it, I gave up a long time ago. I’m by nature a very low maintenance kind of person purely out of laziness coupled with the fact that I truly just don’t care. I figure as long as I’m clean and have clean clothes on, have clean hair and don’t stink, I’m good.  I don’t have the time or patience for it, plus it’s expensive and I’d rather spend my money on other things. My DH likes me the way I am and he’s the only other person whose opinion matters at all to me. I impress him more by picking up a shovel and helping him dig a trench, or picking up a paintbrush and helping him paint or any of the other hard things we need to do. If people can’t stand looking at me with no makeup, gray hair and unpolished nails then that’s their problem and they can choose to look away. This is pretty much me, too (minus the ditch digging)! I haven't colored/lightened my hair since Sun-In in college mostly because I'm too lazy and cheap to keep it up. My eyes are very sensitive, so no eyeshadow or mascara (which would probably just chunk off on my glasses anyway), and I'm so blinky that I've never been able to get eyeliner on at all, even if I wanted to. My cheeks are pink by nature, so blush would be redundant. I just really hate the feeling of gunk on my skin - even lotion on my hands. The only exception for me is lip balm when my lips are chapped. I do wear sunblock if I'm going to be outside enough to need it, but I avoid the need for it as much as possible because it feels so gross - even the mineral kind. |

I don’t wear makeup daily, but do wear it if we’re going someplace special. The older I’ve gotten the less I get helped when shopping (not grocery) if I don’t have something on and am dressed nicer.

I wear no makeup most of the time. When I am going out like an evening type thing, I will put on mascara and a tinted moisturizer on my face. I might use a tinted chapstick. But that's it for me. Day to day, I just don't bother. My eyes water a lot so it seems like anything I put on them just ends up a mess. But I have regular facials so my skin usually looks pretty good and even toned.

I’m dead, I’d rather just look dead than have that on me forever!! I’m going to solve that problem by just getting cremated. My survivors can find one of the handful of decent photos of me and put that out instead. |

No hair dye, no nail polish. Just mascara and lip gloss, and only when I'm going out. At home my face goes naked.

I’m far too lazy for makeup. Shopping for the right colors, applying it, touch ups throughout the day, trying to prevent the makeup from getting all over anything that touches my face, removing it again before going to sleep, etc. I’m exhausted just thinking about it 😂

46 years old here.... no make up, no hair color. I wear "stick" that I make with bees wax and coconut oil if my lips are dry. I even skip lotion most days! I'm so no maintenance! My nails are naked too unless i have enough time to sit and let them dry which is never. Life is so much easier!
In junior high and high school I tried to do the make-up thing. Eye shadow, liner, mascara, blush, gloss. Now? Why did I waste my time!

None for me. I did in high school and college but I was not good at it. I worked early shifts at a hospital so that is when I quit, after that, I did not have the money for it for the longest time. Now, I figure why start? I did get it done for daughter ‘s wedding and it did look good. But I can’t do it myself.

I wear minimal makeup to work, but not Otherwise. Haven’t used any in the 10+ weeks I’ve been working from home.

I own chapstick and nail polish. I've worn makeup maybe 3 times in my life.

Before I had my first kid 22 yrs. ago, I always had on makeup, did skincare, always did my hair, and nails, and always wore nice clothes. Now I am the opposite! My younger self would be in shock! I feel like now, I have no idea what to do with makeup and skincare. And I can't see well enough to put on makeup. So I just give up!  |

I do when I go out. I am very pale, and people tend to ask me if I’m sick when I don’t wear blush.

I grew up with a mom who would get up and apply her makeup first thing. She is 84 now and probably just stopped this several years ago. So since an early age I always wore foundation, powder, etc...everything. Probably about 7-8 years ago I dialed it down to foundation, powder, my eyebrows and lip gloss. My eyebrows and eye lashes are white blond and it sucks. And my complexion isn't great so I still feel good about the foundation every day. Right before COVID I started dying my eyebrows and eye lashes so it appeared I had some. I was really liking it. And then a shovel handle broke and hit me in head and I have a nice scar now going right down through my eye brow. I guess I won't be dying them anymore. I am not someone who looks great without makeup. The make up looked great on me in my younger years. Now not so much.

I never wore makeup. I was allergic to so much that I didn't bother. Then when my kids were toddlers, I began wearing some. I'm still not proficient at doing my makeup, but I do wear foundation, lip gloss, eyeliner, mascara, some eyeshadow and bronzer.
It's so hot here in FL that I only wear makeup when I'm going somewhere I care about. The grocery store, etc., doesn't call for makeup down here.

Don't let what is probably the most kick-ass scar anyone here has stop you from doing your brows or whatever makes you happy. Jason Momoa has an eyebrow scar and so does my "work son", we think it's pretty cool. I know you're not a man but still, pretty wicked. |

Zee thank you so much. I am experimenting with making it look not so bad. I can still do my brows but there is not only a definate line where they are missing but some of them are going in all directions from stitches. I am not someone who is vain (at least I don't think so) but I really want to have my eyes done and I am hoping the scar adds to my sagging eyes to plead my case with the insurance company. I don't care about wrinkles or crease lines, but my stupid eyes have so much sagging above my eye and horrible bags (heriditary) underneatch.

I don't most days, but I have gross skin. The most I do is primer, BB cream, and concealer. Occasionally lip gloss or mascara.

I wore make up once...on my wedding day. Other than that, never.

Can’t relate. Cosmetics and doing make up is a hobby of mine just like scrapbooking used to be. I’m obviously wearing less now since I’m not going out in public much but I have to admit I love when grocery shopping day rolls around and I have an excuse to at least do the upper half of my face.

I don't ever wear makeup if I'm not leaving the house. If I'm running to the store (in normal times), I might throw some powder on a blemish, maybe a coat of mascara and a swipe of tinted lip balm. I will do a full 5 minute face  if I'm attending a social event. My DD is a HS SR and was asked by her school news station if she's learned anything during this pandemic that she will continue to do when it passes? Her answer was to smile with her eyes. Since then I've been wearing mascara, a little liner and brightener to help my old ass eyes smile behind a mask. |
