I wore makeup every day until Covid. Now, I only put on makeup for my ‘in office’ days or if I have an appointment.
I stopped dying my hair almost 2 years ago. I told myself that I would go back to daily makeup to try to look a bit less old, but I don’t.

I work at home and have skipped putting makeup on when I go out most places years ago. I mostly wear it when I'm going to see someone I care what they think of my appearance (so seeing friends or some family, meeting new people). Also, makeup for me means some mascara and eyeliner so not much different. My mom always complains that I should add lipstick but it feels weird at this point. Lately it's rare that I even wear a bra when going out so I doubt anyone is surprised by the lack of makeup (I also stopped dyeing my hair which is now a light brown with a peek of grey)

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'm the same. I wore make-up daily when I worked. When Covid hit and the only place I went was the clinic or hospital with DH, I stopped. Now I only wear it if I'm going out with a group or to something like a wedding. I love NOT having to take it off at night. |

No I always wear makeup but if I’m just staying home, I’ll wear eyeshadow and mascara and that’s it. It’s part of my routine so it just depends on how much or what I use that day.

I color in the lighter/thinner spots of my eyebrows and dust powder on my shine, that's it. I don't even bother with mascara any longer.

I wear makeup every day. I have a work routine (concealer/shape tape, foundation, powder, blush, highlighter, eyeshadow, mascara, lipstick/lip gloss), then add eyeliner and lipliner if we are going to a nice restaurant or to an event. For mostly around the house days, I will use a tinted moisturizer instead of my foundation. Both have SPF 30, so I don't usually apply additional sunscreen. I love playing with makeup and experimenting with new colors and techniques. I'm also extremely pale and my skin shows every imperfection. I have nice skin, but I like to even it out, both color and texture, with foundation and powder.

I wear makeup every day. At the very least I wear eyeshadow primer, eyeshadow, and mascara.
A lot of days I wear eyeshadow primer, eyeshadow, mascara, brow color, blush, lipstick. Occasionally eyeliner, but most of the time I use eyeshadow for that.
Very occasionally I'll wear foundation. If I think about it I use setting spray.
I have an eyeshadow problem. I own 30 eyeshadow palettes - mostly Urban Decay, Too Faced, Colour Pop, or Morphe. I'm known for my eyeshadow. I'm an art teacher- I can get away with weird.
I love lipstick- lipstick is power. I look a hundred times better with it. I use a liquid one and it is usually red, occasionally bright pink, like in my photo.
I just cancelled my Ipsy subscription because I'm getting buried under product. I used to have Birchbox, too. So many makeup samples...

I wear mascara and lipgloss every single day, or I just look tired all day. When I worked jobs at other companies I wore makeup every day, but now that I run our company I only wear makeup occasionally, or for special things.

I used to wear a full face of makeup even if I wasn't going anywhere. Then I got RA and was too tired for a long time to put makeup on. Then I started wearing it if I were going out of the house. Now, it's hit or miss. I can go months without wearing any at all. It's just not that important. I am lucky and have been blessed with good skin, I only have a few freckles and no dark spots and I have never had acne, not even as a teen. I love makeup and how it looks but I am just too lazy and hate spending time at night to get take off. LOL

Does lip gloss count as wearing make up? That is about the extent of my daily make up routine now. Back in my corporate office days it was still pretty simple, but included a light foundation, blush, mascara, eyeliner, eye shadow and lipstick. Mascara, eyeliner and lipgloss on weekends.
I do clean, moisturize and sun protect religiously but rarely even put mascara on.
