Are you high or low maintenace?

Do you believe yourself to be high or low maintenance? Explain why, what is your daily routine?

Low really.

I don't wear make-up every day, I don't need to wash and style my hair every morning, I use Cleanse and Polish and a face pack once a week; no moisturiser as they all make my skin greasy and enlarge my pores, I drink lots of water and eat properly.

I'm not swayed by cosmetic adverts. I buy what works for me and I stick with it.

High maintenance to me is a full face everyday, manicures, buying most of the stock of Boots (:D)...

Very high and proud;)

Full make up everyday
Hair coloured and styled and extensions
Fake tan
Eyelash extensions
Nails painted

No Bottox etc yet.............

I have a huge array of products for hair and skin not to mention copious amounts of make up and I get my OH and DD lots of products too, to top it all off I have masses of clothes and shoes and bags, all of this makes me very happy and I wouldnt change for anything:D

Low.

One sachet of Resolve Extra, and I'm good to go.

Dyed hair - to hide the grey - well cut and then takes very little attention. No make up 90% of the time, only for special occassions, but moisturiser and No 7 serum and sometimes bio -oil.

I'd say low, but can spend an hour getting ready for a party.

I'd say I'm fairly low maintenance these days. No make-up for work (I'm a housekeeper), but when I go out I can have a full face done in 15 mins. Hair is usually up for work but gets straightened for going out, again this only takes about 15 mins. I have lots of stash but its mostly essentials like bodywashes, scrubs, lotions. I do own rather a lot of nail polishes tho, my toes are ALWAYS painted

Low but trying to be a bit higher

LOW...

Natural blonde hair colour, just starting to get first greys, DD has made me promise once its more noticable I will dye it - dreading the expense and fuss! It's wavy and stays that way. Though daughters have straightened it for special occasions. It's waist length so I wear it up most of the time.

Aldi day/night cream, whatever eye cream I find on sale - I'm never going to look 25 again but I do what I can.

Natural nails, I tried fake ones twice and ended up almost tearing them off after 24 hours, I couldn't bear the feeling. I have weak nails myself so can never grow them long. They stay manicured but with only a nail strengthener painted on top, as I do a fair bit of work with my hands, I can't be re painting my nails all the time and I chip anything within a few hours. So only toenails get painted pretty.

I'm naturally tanned after 14 years working in Asia, though in summer I do use Johnson's holiday skin.

For everyday I'll be done with makeup in 5 mins. Concealer, blush and tinted lipbalm, sometimes mascara, depends how my sensitive eyes are feeling. For a party I like to do the whole face though. Now DD is aspiring to be a make up artist she will do it for me!

High and proud!

Mid rang I guess....

Always have my nails on...

Full Make up every day...

But dye my own hair and get it cut a few times per year. (don't think I could bare all the fuss and expense of going to the hair dresser every 6 weeks like some of my friends do)

I thought I was pretty low maintenance to be honest – even though I am a bit of a product queen.

Full face of make-up every day – but I’m practiced at it so only takes about 10 mins for the full works.

Acrylic nails. In-filled and painted every fortnight in the salon. Not too high maintenance as all I need to do is oil them every so often. Having natural is far more high maintenance as in the few times I go nail-less I was forever having to file and polish them.

Hair cut every couple of months at a salon, but I dye myself at home usually. I find a good hair cut means I can wash and go and even if I dry my hair naturally it still looks good.

Eyebrows threaded in salon – but I dye them myself.

Like to use hair masques, and face masques but as chill out time so hardly qualifies as high maintenance.

Shave my legs/pits as needed, and very rarely use a depilatory on my bikini line.
