Are you high or low maintenace?

piratefairy

I think make up-wise i'm v v low.
I will sometimes put on a little foundation, not v often. I usually jst go with eyeliner and mascara..
Hair sometimes (not often straightened), and trim it myself..
And tend to do nail polish a couple of times a wk, moisturiser and hand / nail lotion every day..
That's about it, i'm a clothes girl rather than a cosmetics girl io think..

I think I'm lowish but most people would think I'm high.

Shower and either body brush or scrub whilst in there, facial wash on face and facial wipes in-between.

Apply face serum and body moisturiser most days and wash hair everytime in the shower with a specialist shampoo for curly hair.

Use a leave in curl activator when I've washed my hair and possibly some serum in-between if it looks frizzy.

If I'm at home no make-up but if I'm leaving the house I put make-up on and it takes about 5 minutes as I'm well practiced. Involves eye liner, mascara, blusher, concealer, lip liner and lipstick.

Perfume always.

Low!

Despite the eyeliner, lippy and dyed hair I can happily backpack around India and spend a week camping at Glasto without a worry.

Low (I think).

Hair cut a couple of times a year. It's never been dyed and I hardly ever straighten it.

Makeup when I can be bothered and even then it's just mascara, eyeliner and a bit of blush.

I shave my legs etc and Immac quite often due to swimming a couple of times a week but I do it all myself. Ditto with nails, eyebrows etc - can't justify paying someone else to do it for me!

I think i'm fairly low maintainance, should try to be higher as i'm a hairdresser and feel i should make more of an effort sometimes!!
Makeup EVERYDAY! Even just round the house when nobody is going to see me, i blame my mum
scrub in the shower, use fake tan at home sometimes but generally get spray tans done at work, as well as eyelash extensions when i have time, gel nails, waxing (eyebrows, legs, underarms...) but i obv don't have to pay for these so that makes it easier!
Have my hair cut and coloured about every 6 weeks but its red so have to maintain it every couple of weeks with a semi permenant at home or get a junior to apply it at work.
(put like that it doesn't sound low, but is balanced out by a healthy laziness with my own hair...don't tend to brush it much lol, and use dry shampoo, plus wear it wavy/messy or pinned up to disguise messiness....:eek:)

I have gone all natural, so i am loving mixing my oils, i have one for my eyes, for the day, night, special for my hair and i enjoy putting cream all over my body at night.

I'm also experimenting with going all natural. Would you consider telling me your oil mixes? Your experience in how they work etc Would be very interesting.

I wouldn't say I'm high maintenance :A

I wash my hair every second day, batiste on the days it's not being washed.
Obviously wash every day, and cleanse and moisturise.
I exfoliate my body (soap and glory flake away :j) every day, use body lotion/butter daily.
My hair is cut when it needs it, and it's not coloured.
I use a quick spray of fake tan every maybe 4 days.
Eyebrow pencil, undereye concealer and mascara are the only things I wear daily - oh, and lipbalm!

I also (and I apologise in advance, cos it might sound a bit minging ) file my feet everyday. I don't use a ped egg or anything like that, just a normal nail file. It takes seconds if you keep on top of it and my feet are always sandal worthy

I forgot waxing and shaving. Legs are shaved every few days and bikini and underarms are waxed every 6-8 weeks. Eyebrows waxed every few weeks :A

Reading this thread has made me realise I'm high :eek:

• get hair cut and coloured every 6 weeks (for free)
• wear pricey make up every day (even if I'm staying home!)
• style hair every day
• 1 hour workout in gym every weekday

However I don't like acrylic nails or fake tan (I like being pale).

I'm very low maintenance. Grey hair I don't dye. Hair cut short every 4 weeks. Shower, hair wash, dry, moisturise body with any cheap body lotion and dress takes 20 minutes in the morning. (I do sort clothes out the night before). No make up, just use light moisturiser and lip salve. Takes me longer to clean teeth than style hair. As long as I'm clean and tidy, that's OK for me.

I think I am low-med maintenance.

Hair
Natural blonde colour but is going a bit grey now so may experiment with colouring(have never done before)
Long hair so only wash 2-3 times pw as it's winter now and too cold.
I dont blow dry and usually don't use styling products.
my OH has been cutting my hair now for 12 months or so.

Body
Dry body brushing
Shower and soap
Moisturise my body about every 2nd day
Used to get waxed every 6 weeks, now just during warmer months.

Face
Makeup only for special times or if I want a bit of a lift.
Very vigilant with cleansing, serums, eye cream and moisturising and I also use sunscreen everyday.
Exfoliate 1xpw and use face mask1xpw

Hands
Just keep clean, shaped nails-rarely polish.
Use scrub 2xpw
Hand cream several times per day
I also use serums on my hands at night as I am a little paranoid about my hands looking haggard and sometimes will after moisturising wear cotton gloves to bed:rotfl:much to the chagrin of my OH;)
Teeth
Brush twice perday
Floss 1-3 times perday
