Yes, for the most part yes, at the very least I wear lipstick. But usually lipstick and eyeliner. Depending on where I'm going and how much time I have determines what I'm doing with my face lol.

Wednesday's Question of the Day: wearing makeup

Foundation, a bit of cheek color, lipstick. I feel naked without makeup --- try not to overdo it, but I definitely try to use it everyday.

Yes, I try to do it everyday. It helps keep me from having company. On the days I don't comb my hair or do my makeup, we get all sorts of people who stop by.:lol3:

I have hyper-sensitive skin; I may even have borderline rosacea. I used to be able to wear foundation, until I once was prescribed acne cream; they gave me the wrong strength (though I had requested the lowest one). I didn't read the prescription label, used it twice, and then broke out in hundreds of tiny, red bumps. My face looked scalded, all the way down my neck, and onto my chest. Prednisone cleared it up, but, since then, I couldn't wear foundation. (But my skin looked beautiful once it healed!) Never could wear mascara, either--itches like mad!
I've been using Neutrogena concealer on the occasional small break-outs. Now, I can't find the stick (like lipstick) form of it, only those pen things with medication in them! However, the clerk at CVS recommended BB Cream--a foundation with sunscreen, and other nice things. She has the same type of skin as I do. She said it blends your skin blemishes into one unified color, and make your skin appear air-brushed and smooth. I've been using it for 2 days; so far, so good!

Always wear mascara and liner; I feel as if my eyes disappear without them. Never foundation, never lipstick, the occasional blush, eyeshadow sometimes. When I had Lasik surgery years ago I couldn't wear eye makeup for weeks afterward. Made me feel positively naked.
I gave up on makeup decades ago. The only time I wear it is when I have to be front of a crowd, like when work asks me to make a public speech. Otherwise I think the time is much better spent sleeping.
It'd be interesting to know if there's an inverse relationship between the makeup and age. In other words, the younger you are, the more likely you're using makeup regularly.

I wear "full makeup" (foundation and all that crap) 4 times a year: Valentine's Day, DH's Birthday, Our anniversary and New Year's Eve. Maybe a few more times if there are special events such as weddings, parties, etc. Normally, for work, I just put on eyeliner and I'm done. On the weekends, I don't even do that. I'm lucky if I put my contacts in on the weekends! I DO use moisturizer every day.
Now, when I was in high school, you wouldn't catch me going out on the porch to get the mail without full makeup on! I'm just too darn lazy now

I wake up at 5:50am for work...I can't get up any earlier to do my makeup! I really don't care what the kids I teach think of my appearance anyway.
When I go out with friends however, I LOVE wearing make up. In fact I can't go out to a bar or club without it. I'm obsessed with Sephora and MAC and all the high end brands and I love playing around and trying out new looks
