Do u wear makeup every day?

When I moved to the UK 5 years ago I decided to stop wearing makeup everyday for the office, but lately every time I see myself on a mirror I think I look horrible!! Am on my late thirties so maybe I should start wearing some every day ...

What do u ladies do..?

    I always use blusher, liner, mascara and do my brows :D Wouldn't entertain leaving the house without them!

    I rarely use foundation though, prefer to just use concealer and blusher. I'm 60 by the way!

    I wear make up every day.

    Usually just a base, little bronzer and blusher, eyebrows pencilled (if they're needing tinted!) mascara and lip balm / lipgloss. If I don't have that on, I feel / look like death warmed up.

    Nah, it's really mostly because I have quite dark circles under my eyes (no amount of sleep and water help!) and I have a touch of rosacea on my nose, so I cover up :)

    Nights out, i'll do a bit more with my eyes & lips etc.

    I'm really good at taking it all off at night though, even when i'm trolleyed! Thanks to that i've got pretty good skin considering, and even when I thought I didn't and had one of those UV light skin tests done....the lady at SK:N was baffled as to why I was there at all, result!

    I wear makeup if I'm leaving the house but other than that I go makeup free. I have M.E which makes going out difficult and I don't see the point in wearing makeup if I'm just going to be staying at home.
    That said, if I'm doing some self-portrait photography I'll experiment with makeup, but not often.

    I rarely wear it normally, but always wore it for work. I wouldn't make a special effort to put it on to go to the shops or anything.

    I always wear makeup, I look ill without it! In the summer when I've got a tan I tend to just wear a bit of bronzer, mascara, eyeliner and some lipbalm or gloss, plus cover up round my eyes when I'm not sleeping so well. In the winter I add foundation, powder & blusher.

    I would never ever go to work or be in a professional situation without make up, if I'm not leaving the house then I don't wear it at all:)
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future

    It is extremely rare that I wear make-up at all. Even when working I didn't, rather have a few minutes longer in bed.

    I rarely wear it, at work or out and about (in general). I will wear it for nights out, special occasions and client meetings though.

    Otherwise, tinted moisturiser is enough for me. Evens out the skin tone enough for me to feel confident and comfortable.

    I don't how you ladies find the energy or the will to put make up on every day. I'm sure you look a d'mn site better than I, but I just can not be *rsed! lol
