do you wear make-up everyday?

Neorago · 2020-06-19T16:34:17+00:00

No. I don't wear it day to day. I wear it on the weekend or for important events. I'd like to wear it more but the hassle of taking it off every day puts me off tbh.

gcthrowaway2019 · 2020-06-19T17:07:59+00:00

Years ago I wore makeup everyday to work. Foundation, blush, liner, lashes, brows and lips on top of styling my hair (before going natural). I don't anymore bc I wanted the 2 hours of sleep back.

I wear it on special occasions. It's nice to glow up once in a while rather than be caught without your "face on" and people ask if you're sick. Also noticed people don't say how great your skin is when you're wearing makeup.

WildTenderness · 2020-06-19T16:26:02+00:00

I try to wear it most days, makes me feel a lot more put together during these times indoors.

pineycitrusforest · 2020-06-19T16:35:26+00:00

No. I don't feel like myself with makeup on.

Genometric · 2020-06-20T02:40:53+00:00

Nope, I wear none. My goal is to make it through life having never learned.

analcreampiesplutter · 2020-06-19T16:47:08+00:00

I wear concealer everyday as my skin feels uneven without it.

a_throwawayy_ · 2020-06-19T18:21:25+00:00

I used to. I don't wear makeup at all anymore. I like how fresh my face feels, and I like how I get a lot less unwanted attention from men. I also get ready in 10 mins now instead of an hour

carachu · 2020-06-19T16:18:38+00:00

I put on eyebrows. By that i mean i just colour them in blue to match my hair. I used to pluck them all out when i was ypung so now theyre super fine. Other than that only for special occasions. Im pretty happy with my face and my skin is luckily pretty clear

Thestral-glow6 · 2020-06-19T16:18:50+00:00

Nope haven’t worn it for the last couple of years due to my job, and enjoying how clear and fresh my skins felt due to this! Sun screen always though 🙂

mythicalnebula · 2020-06-19T18:00:52+00:00

only if i have a breakout. but mascara or curling eyelashes and lip balm is a must no matter where u go. it makes me feel a bit more feminine but it’s also minimal.

appleadam123 · 2020-06-19T16:20:09+00:00

No just lipgloss

bqluoeoedn · 2020-06-19T17:39:29+00:00

No. If I go out or feel like it, usually eyeliner. Sometimes concealer, light foundation and eyeshadow. Full face for more formal events or natural look.

ChristianGirl93 · 2020-06-19T19:19:08+00:00

What I recommend to myself- wear what makes you feel the best- some days- full face- somedays just a little self-tanner and false lashes and lip balm, or brown eyeliner a little mascara and concealer- but I only avoid going without any unless my face is tip top because otherwise I just don’t feel as peppy. (Primer, spf, concealer, and mascara are my necessities)

BasieSkanks · 2020-06-19T20:33:58+00:00

Nope. I prefer to keep make-up for special occasions. Plus the make-up I use is expensive and I don’t want to have to replace it often.

adeecomeforth · 2020-06-20T00:58:12+00:00

No. I never learned how to apply makeup, and now that I am going to be 30 soon, I don't feel like I need to learn anymore. I do however, love skincare and I wear sunscreen religiously just to take care of my face. I also have a plain face and I feel like I look even worse with makeup but that's probably because I don't know what looks good on me.

Partyavoider29 · 2020-06-20T02:58:45+00:00

These days I do. But makeup is also a hobby of mine - I've invested a lot of time and research into products (only non-endocrine disrupting, must be organic) and application techniques. I'm also goth. So part of what I like about makeup is that it's a silly way for me to participate in a subculture I'm part of when I can't go to clubs or events (because that would be a public health hazard).

I do not think I wear makeup for me. But I can't intellectualize every decision I make, it doesn't take me long, it makes me happy when I nail eyeliner looks, simple pleasures, etc.

134340-92494 · 2020-06-19T17:31:58+00:00

Yes. I do it because I like makeup and creating pretty looks. It’s fun for me and keeps me feeling put together. Do I occasionally skip it because I don’t feel like spending the time? Absolutely, but I have noticed men are not as kind or attentive to me, which is a bummer sometimes, but if I want to have a peaceful day where I am left alone, I’ll go without it.

Some other replies are saying that skin always looks “fresher” without makeup, but I get compliments on my complexion with or without it, since my foundation is usually very light coverage, and I make sure it doesn’t ever look cakey. I also take really good care of my skin, so as long as you’ve got a good skin routine, makeup every day is fine.

missamourcali · 2020-06-19T20:03:19+00:00

Almost every day I have a small amount on (foundation, eyebrows, mascara).

Same reason I don't leave the house in sweat pants

MuffinSongs · 2020-06-19T21:49:13+00:00

I do not wear makeup to work. I work with high schoolers so it’s better that way.

If I’m going out with my boyfriend or the girls I wear makeup. Other than that, not at all.

Owl-right · 2020-06-19T23:57:14+00:00

Yes on weekdays for work. Mascara, lipgloss and fill my brows in with an eye brow pencil. I use SPF moisturizing day cream instead of foundation.

Snoo32629 · 2020-06-20T01:31:38+00:00

I've been getting into make up a lot more this year - I like to use it to enhance my features and bc it's fun and makes me feel pretty. I went make up free for pretty much the first 23 years of my life and would only do it for special occasions, so I am pretty comfortable going natural if I'm ever too lazy to do it.

For an every day look I like to do a subtle brown wing, accentuate cheekbones with some light contour and highlight, and put on some lip gloss but that's pretty much all I'll do.

For more special occasions or if I go out with my friends I'll use concealer, lipstick/paint, contour, highlighter, black winged liner, mascara, sometimes falsies. I personally don't like foundation bc I don't like the way I look in it. I'm super into skincare too so I just like to let my natural skin show.

FierceMango · 2020-06-20T04:05:05+00:00

I stopped wearing makeup everyday since quarantine started. I didn’t see the point of wearing makeup if I have to wear a mask; I also stopped wearing it because I hated the way I looked without makeup and thought if stopped wearing it to look at my natural face everyday I would like the way I look without it. And I do now!

devoushka · 2020-06-20T05:43:56+00:00

Yes. It takes me like 5 minutes to do and elevates me from just pretty to gorgeous. Why wouldn't I do it?

wish_i_wasntavampire · 2020-06-20T10:19:24+00:00

Most days yes, sometimes even if I'm not really going anywhere. Partly because, enhances my appearance and helps me achieve the style I like, but also it's like... an extension of my grooming routine (I'll apply sunblock, powder, chapstick and set my brows anyway so... it's not such a stretch to add a coat of mascara or something).

cupcakedreamz · 2020-06-19T22:35:56+00:00

I only wear it when I leave the house. If I'm staying home I could fare less. I usually do my makeup really natural and like my skin to look like skin(also an Esthetician). Only if I'm going somewhere concert or something I might go a little more out. I do my makeup for me and me only! If a man doesn't like it he can F off. I'm so sick if hearing some men say that don't like makeup but will also complain you don't look put together etc

Seraphinx · 2020-06-19T23:37:11+00:00

Not during quarantine. Depends on where I'm going.

Usually I'll try do BB cream (includes spf) and eyebrows, but even that doesn't always happen.

bobbiedot · 2020-06-20T05:22:12+00:00

Nope. I can't stand the way makeup feels on my face. Had to wear it in middle and high school for choir and dance performances, had to wear it a few times in beauty school, never got used to it. The most I do is lip balm and maybe, on the rare occasion, mascara.

tellmesomething11 · 2020-06-20T06:04:32+00:00

I don’t wear foundation, I never did. My makeup is a smidge of concealer (to hide my freckles) bronzer, blush and mascara.

During quarantine I watched makeup videos and did a full face but I hated how it felt. It’s so hot so I did started to use a tinted banana powder to help w sweat but idk because my skin is dry. Anyway most people can’t tell I wear makeup🙄

SlimThicModel · 2020-06-20T09:27:35+00:00

When I‘m going out in public for whatever reason - Yes! I do my eyebrows, conceal my dark circles, powder my face, mascara and falsies. When I’m at home - No. Bare face all day. When I have a photo shoot - Yes, but more makeup than the public outing look... Foundation, concealer, powder, highlighter, lashes, mascara, brows and lips.

swatir24 · 2020-06-20T13:40:04+00:00

I wear eye liner every time I'm going out or expecting people over. Lipsticks when I feel like it. I don't wear any base makeup because I just don't feel up to it most days.

AWholeGlareOfCats · 2020-06-20T14:50:51+00:00

No, never.

The only makeup I own is a mascara my mom got me for my brother’s wedding two years ago, and concealer I had to get to hide bruises from an assault last year. Even before I threw everything away, I only very rarely wore any.

Ms_Tilly · 2020-06-20T14:54:31+00:00

The only reason I ever wore makeup was to cover up uneven skin tone and to make my lips pop more. I've been doing the same barely there look since forever. I don't recognize myself in full makeup and much prefer my natural beauty to get just a little touch up. I don't even fuss with my hair. I always wear it long and natural.
