    No, I wear full makeup for going out nights, powder, blusher, mascara, eyeliner & lip gloss for work (that gets bunged on on the tube) and any other day none at all.
    Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.

    I rarely wear make-up as I find it irritates my skin so I save it for special occasions. Both grandmothers and my mum were/are like this.

    Conversely, I have a friend who never does anything without a full face on. Her mother is the same. :)

    I wouldn't put it on to go for a run or to the gym but otherwise, if I'm going out I get made up. I wouldn't dream of going to work with none on. People wouldn't recognise me. In the summer I wear less but as I get older I seem to wear more in general, if that makes sense.

    20s I wore no makeup at all except special occasions, then I would do eyeshadow, liner and mascara
    30s always wore eyeshadow, liner and mascara and for special occasions added in a light foundation
    40s foundation and eye makeup every day, or certainly every work day. Have added powder foundation too since being diagnosed with rosacea. But go to gym barefaced and try to have one makeup free day per week just to give my skin a chance to breathe.

    I would feel uncomfortable going to work with no makeup (not cos it's a very makeup culture, it's very mixed, but just cos I'm me) but I could do it if I had to...

    I really enjoy make-up, I wear it every day, unless I am at home ill. I love the ritual of it, trying new looks experimenting. I veer between very natural tinted moisturizer, mascara and natural lipstick to the full works!

    I find it amazing how it can cheer me up, make me feel more confident and generally boost my mood.

    I have heard that you tend to apply your make up the same as when you first tried, I really try to be not stuck in the eighties, and do new looks, but I do tend to slip back.....:o

    Not everyday. But when it comes to leave te house? Definitely yes, specially with red scars I have :mad:
    Moisturizer, mineral foundation, eyeliner, mascara, and lipgloss. Done.
  • Never wear it at all even on nights out.

    I used to wear it occasionally in my 20s, but always hated the feel of it - particulary lipstick and I don't like putting all those chemicals on my face.

    The only 'make-up' I wear is nail varnish on my toes. I am 40 in a few weeks.

    I'm not a big makeup wearer - I only use primer, foundation, concealer, powder and mascara for work. If I'm going out I add eyeliner and sometimes eyeshadow and lipstick/lipgloss.

    ETA: I'm 27

    I wear some form of makeup most days, unless I'm not leaving the house.
    I have rosacea so at the very least I'll wear that green concealer stuff, foundation and powder to set it. Concealer under my eyes if I need it. I also do my eyebrows and wear mascara.

    Nights out or special occassions I wear more either vivd lipstick or loads of eyeliner and eye shadow.

    Some days I also wear light eyeshadow, liner or lipstick but that's not an everyday thing. I'm 29
