    I wear make up every day, just foundation or tinted moisturiser, eyeliner, mascara, blusher and lipstick, the same shades every day, only have one of each (apart from two lipsticks).

    Ali-t which liquid eyeliner do you use? I am torn between that and pencil.

    absolutely! I won't leave the house without it! I only wear liquid eyeliner and mascara though, it enhances my eyes and without it I feel plain and ugly.

    I use the bourjois one http://www.bourjois.co.uk/catalog/make_up/eyes/eyepencils_eyeliners/liner_pinceau_eyeliner It is great, fantastic brush and lasts all day. I try to draw the line along the base of my lashes so there is no gap. It is the easiest brush I have found - not too thin or thick and much easier than the felt pen ones.

    Ali-t, thanks for this. I sometimes think liquid can look harsh on me as I am nearly 50 but I find it stays put better than pencil.

    I wear make up to work, just a bronzer, eyeshadow and mascara. I put it on on the way to work on the bus!!!!! Making best use of time! On weekends I tend not to wear eye makeup, just bronzer.

    I don't wear make up at all. This is what I look like for better or worse. My Mum used to tell me I should wear it in case I met 'The One'. Well even he would get to see what I look like soon enough. A taxi driver once said to me that' women wearing make up should be regarded as on of them 'misleading' things under the Sale of Goods Act !'

    Love make up or maquillage as I call it! But don't wear it every day anymore like I used to. I wore it every day for years and particularly when I worked in retail but since I've worked from home don't always wear it. But still love to put it on when I go out and can do it in about 10mins - mineral foundation, bronzer, blusher, eye brow pencil, eyeliner, lip liner, lipstick for normal and full on eye make up, mascara if out for the evening!
  • Never. It makes me feel like someone else, and I quite like just being me. But I suppose it's what you get used to.

    Always. My skin is that bad I'd be ashamed to leave the house - I care too much about what other people think!
    I've got it down to a fine art though, about ten minutes and I can look respectable :)

    Yes I always wear some make up every single day. If I am not going out anywhere it will just be mascara and maybe some lipgloss, sometimes a little eye shadow and I do my brows.

    If I am going out then I do my eye make up better, base shadow, liner and mascara. Brows, foundation, blush and highlight etc.

    I am pale skinned and have light eye lashes that if I did not wear mascara you can't see them and I look like some kind of alien strange thing with no eye lashes or brows.
