    I used to wear it all the time, i couldn't leave the house without it, but recently i've just not cared (though that may be down to my mental health lol) :o

    Sometimes but not often. I do wear it when I go into town or a night out. I scrub up nicely then!

    I only wear make-up for nights out etc. I wear a little powder during the day to stop my nose from going shiny, but that's it. None of my colleagues or customers have fainted from disgust at my hideous face yet!

    I also wear it when I go out (normally weekend), but wearing it daily makes me feel a slave for it... I think it's very sexist that women have to wear makeup every day to look good...
  • I refuse to leave the house without make up! I feel naked with out it. Its better when i have a tan, but i just look so pasty without anything! Its also hard to get a 'natural look' with make up....
  • I wear makeup most days for work - usually just foundation, a bit of eye brightening pencil to get rid of my dark circles, brown eyeshadow, brown eyeliner, mascara, blusher and lip balm. If I'm going out I'll normally do a smoky eye or a bright/glittery eyeshadow or wear a bright lipstick or lip gloss.

    On the other hand, if I'm having a house day I've got a base colour that I mix with my moisturiser to even my skin out.

    i wear make up everytime i go out,i use mineral powder to protect my skin, concealer around my eyes (dark circles) mascara and sun protection on my lips, it does not take longer than 2 minutes and i feel better for it. If i stay in - like today, i dont wear make up, instead i have a girly day in, and put a mask on, do my brows, paint my nails....

    I skin is extremely sensitive, so i need to protect it, i have a medium color skin, but now the sun is out i am almost black ! dont know what to do with myself, i am not so used to this, my legs,chest and stomach look white in comparation !

    I wear it everyday and it takes me less than 5 mins. I know because I was timed!
    I start with a primer, then foundation, then powder on my t zone. Blusher, eyeshadow (2 colours), eye liner, mascara and finish it off wiht a natural lip gloss. The primer and powder ensure that my makeup looks exactly the same by 8pm at night.
    I wouldn't go out without it, but at the same time I can't be phaffing around "touching it up"

    I wear it most days, not very much for work as I cycle and it gets sweated off (just powder, blusher, mascara) at weekends the same but with tinted moisturiser underneath.

    Don't bother if I am staying in or just going to the corner shop.

    I always take it off straight away when I get home.

    I wear make-up every single day! Even if I'm at home all day on a Sunday I wear tinted moisturiser & some mascara and eyeliner! I don't look like myself without it!
    i wish my bank account could keep up with my Rockstar Lifestle! :cool:
