    Well, if i'm not leaving the house over the weekend then I won't wear any.

    Daily I use:

    Max Factor colour match foundation.
    Either No & bronzing balls or a translucentpowder over the top of the foundation (Depends on tan status)
    Browny/goldy/peachy/olivey coloured eyeshadows all blended in (was in a kit I had for last Xmas from Boots but not one of their usual makes)
    The browny eyeshadow as an eyeliner
    Whichever mascara I fancy at the time, at the min it is a no7 one.
    If I use blusher I have an Elizabeth Arden one, or if I have a tan, I use a bit more of the bronzer.
    8 months to go till end of the IVA :j:rotfl::T

    I'm the same as Joesaunt, if I'm not leaving the house then my make-up bag stays in the drawer.

    Don't wear foundation - I'm lucky to have even skintone.
    Dab of Rimmel pinky shade blusher.
    Eyeshadow - matched to whatever clothes I'm wearing.
    Eyeliner - either Max Factor or the darkest eyeshadow I've used.
    Mascara - Barbara Daly black or brown.

    My eyes are green so I can get away with wearing all sorts of colours - green, brown, grey, purple, turquoise, blue.

    I also change my nail polish every day - today I've got chocolate brown.

    Powder - very light dusting of Avon anew or EL doublewear
    Blusher - Varied depnding on what look I'm doing that day

    Concealer, get dark circles under eyes when i don't get enough sleep
    Benefit High Beam, helps disguise dark circles, and brightens
    Blusher
    Eyeliner
    mascara
    lipgloss
  • At the moment I'm not wearing any, as I've just had microdermabrasion done. It feels very weird to be bare faced! :(

    For every day, nothing special makeup:

    Foundation - Christian Dior Forever or Chanel Pro Lumiere
    Eye liner - Urban Decay
    Maybe Eyeshadow - Urban Decay
    Lips - Can vary from tinted lip balm like Benetint, to much more "done" lipstick.
    Mascara - M.A.C or YSL

    I am a makeup junkie though, so there are any number of products and brands that might get used, depending on the occasion and the look.

    When I can be bothered to I wear:
    Erase Paste (Benefit) for the bags under my eyes
    You Rebel tinted moisturiser (again Benefit)
    Dandelion blusher (Benefit) or Hoola and the other blusher (Benefit - my summer wear)
    Rimmel grey eye pencil
    Either Benefit eyeshadow or some set I have
    Benefit Mascara.

    Benefit is the only one i've found that suits my skin, isn't too heavy and lasts.

    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

    All I wear during the day is Lily Lolo transparant finishing powder because I'm so oily, I line my eyes using a black eyeshadow - currently Dr Haushcka and I use a Burts Bees tinted lipbalm. I might add eyeshadow for a night out but that's it.

    I do wear a sunscreen each day though which might add something, currently using Marie Veronique's Kid Safe Sunscreen SPF25 which is meant to be colourless

    I asked exactly the same some months ago, if you search a bit you might find the post with more useful answers, i think it was called "Do you wear make up every day"

    About me, I use only tinted moisturizerd. I only apply make-up on weekends if I go out, I hate being a slave to make-up!! (I used to be many years ago...)
