My natural coloring is VERY pale (caucasian is my racial code). I have naturally blonde hair and blue eyes. When I am out in the sun on a regular basis, I barely tan. When I was younger, I really tried to get a nice tan and it just does not happen.
Because of this, I wear foundation, blush and a bit of light lipstick every day--365 days of the year. (ETA--I only use eyeliner if I am going to something--running to grocery store=no eyeliner)
I have friends who only wear makeup if they are going out in public.
Just curious about the peas.

I only wear makeup if it's a special occasion. Like it seems weird to put on evening clothes without makeup. But still my idea of makeup is tinted moisturizer, mascara and lipstick. If I'm going to a black tie wedding I might add some sparkly eye shadow.
I let go of this task like 5 or so years ago. And then during Covid, I stopped dyeing my hair too. I was only dyeing my hair because it was fun. I went from deep brown to blonde to red all the time. I was all over the place with hair color. But now I'm my normal golden light brown hair. And the past couple of years, I've gotten just a few white hairs around my face.
I honestly have pretty nice skin. I make sure it is well moisturized and my skin tone is very even. So I don't always feel like makeup is improving anything. Maybe a matte finish (but let's face it, that is unnatural looking.) And my hair has never in my life been so healthy. I quit using conditioner about a year and a half ago. I just don't need it.

I wear a minimum of mascara if I’m leaving the house. Next level would be a bit of extra brow definition and a sheer lip balm. And above that I’ll add some blush etc
I only wear foundation (if that what you’re asking) for evenings out or special occasions really. My skin is pretty good although a little uneven in tone which i don’t mind and i don’t use foundation to change my colour/appearance.

I generally only wear makeup if I'm leaving the house or people are coming over (depends on who it is though). How much/what type depends on where I'm going and what I'm doing.

I wear a full face if I'm going shopping or out somewhere nice but I'll go to see friends without any on. I don't wear it if I'm staying indoors, it seems like a waste.

I wear makeup every day for work. On weekends, most likely not unless it's to a nice restaurant.

During Covid I start only wearing CeraVe AM instead of foundation. I also did a little undereye concealer, brow pencil, mascara, blush and lipstick. Now, unless I'm going somewhere special, I only do the CeraVe, undereye concealer and lipstick. It's very freeing.

I wore makeup every day when I worked--foundation, blush, mascara, eyebrow stuff and lipstick or at least lip balm. Since retiring end of Jan 2020, I think I've worn makeup less than 5 times and only for really special occasions. But I am fairly consistent using eyebrow stuff since mine have nearly disappeared.

Going to work or special occasions, my makeup routine is just mascara and maybe a little eyeshadow. Some times some lipstick. Other than that, nothing. I’ve never liked foundation or face powder. I tried it often when I was younger, and I just didn’t like the feel of it on my face.

I only wear mascara, but some days I just forget to put it on. So I chose other.

My everyday make up is matte translucent powder, eyeshadow, eye/brow liner, blush, lipstick.
I only us foundation/concealer for dress up events and even then sometimes I skip it.

I can’t say never nor can I check “only for special occasions” because I don’t typically wear makeup then either. About the only times I do is when I’m having professional portraits taken, to try to hide dark circles, to even out uneven skin tones and to make my eyes look more open and noticeable. Most days I resemble the walking dead, LOL.

Summer is freedom time. The only time I wear makeup in the summer is for a special occasion.
I am a teacher. Once school starts, I wear makeup to work every day. I will only wear it on weekends if I am going somewhere.
I love being makeup free!

If I'm going to a black tie wedding I might add some sparkly eye shadow. I used to wear it daily for work, just eyes, cheeks and lips, but haven't done that for nudging 20 years. I was chosen as the model at a "make up party" donkeys years ago and they put the full works on including foundation. I bought some and tried it once and decided it just wasn't me. I know I look better with eyes, cheeks and lips done but I really can't be bothered.

Never. My Mom, however, "puts on her face" pretty much every day.

I chose "other" because I never wear makeup. The only thing I put on is lotion, and sunscreen if I'm going out.

Pre-Covid I was in the office M-F so make up for sure on those days, on the weekends only if we were going somewhere with others.
Now I work from home. I don't put on make up to run errands, and sometimes where we are going out to eat is based on whether I want to put on make up or not. LOL
And often now, putting on make up feels weird as I do it so seldom now.
Edited to add...I am also fair skinned with blonde eyelashes so I am not one of those people who look pretty with no make up on.

I rarely wear make-up - when I go to the office (1-2 days a week) and on rare social occasions.

Don't wear make up. Sensitive skin and it hurts my scars.

I wear tinted moisturizer, a tinted sunscreen and lipstick everyday. If were going someplace that's not grocery store or shopping, I may put on a dusting of powder to take of the shine and even things out. If were going some place fancy, I'll add mascara. I'm very low maintenance.

I checked other because most days I wear makeup, but there are just hanging at home days when I don't.

I haven’t worn any makeup since Covid. I had a mask on anywhere I went. My husband was in a nursing home and I always had to wear a mask and I started having groceries delivered and wore a mask if I had to go to a dr appointment. Pretty much didn’t go anywhere else. My husband passed away almost a year ago and I still don’t go many places. I definitely don’t see the need to put any on to do my almost every day walking. I just don’t really care about wearing it anymore.

I put foundation, bronzer, color in my eyebrows and lipstick every day. If I have somewhere to go or going out, I do my whole face. I am 62 and want to even out my skin tone. My eyebrows are sparse, and I got hit in the eyebrow with a shovel handle that broke during Covide, so I have a scar going through one of them as well. I am going to the dentist soon and I am just doing the basics.

I wear brown liquid eyeliner if I’m going out in public. I have always had very sparse lashes and this works for me. Red pencil eyebrow pencil, no eyebrows either. My avatar is from last year, attending a very special wedding. That is as glamorous as I get. 😊

I wear makeup just about everyday, except going to beach, or pool. My entire life I have liked colors so I have a nice collection of Coloured lipsticks and eyeshadow. As well as nailpolish. And since I own them I wear them.

If I am seeing people I care about I wear makeup. Lol but my make up is pretty light- small amount of foundation to even out my skin tone, little brush of bronzer as I am very pale, and mascara. I would say I wear make most days as I work and even though it’s remote I am on camera multiple times a day. On weekends or other days off it’s hit or miss depending on what I am doing - just grocery shopping- probably not. Church- yes.

I wear makeup 6 days a week. M-F I wear it to work,, foundation + highlighter, eyes (color in crease, eyeliner, mascara), and blush. I'll put on lipstick first thing in the morning but don't reapply it. Once it's gone, it's gone. I feel much more confident and put together with makeup on. I also fix my hair. It's curly so that means I have to wet it and get the curls to cooperate. I let it air dry and it's done for the day. Typically on Saturday or Sunday, whichever day I don't leave the house, I don't put any makeup on.
