How much makeup do you wear on a typical day? - Page 2

to go to work: bare escentual stuff and light eyeliner and mascara

when i go out: I try to wear everything and anything!!!
mac foundation, bronzer, powder, eyeshadow, pigments, glitters, fake lashes, fluidliners, primers, etc etc of mac, smashbox, victoria's secret, and a few other brands

Usually BE or I mix a foundation with a little highlighter, concealer, mascara, lip gloss and blush. Sometimes I will add liner and shadow dep on my mood. That is mainly my work/everyday face. I may add a few things for night/special events lol

haha lots
Chanel Pro Lumiere in 30 Cendre - Foundation
Chanel Purete Mat in Gentle Beige - Powder
Shiseido The makeup Duo Tan/Bronze - Blush
Benefit BADgal Lash - long lashes
Urbandecay mascara - short lashes
Christian Dior Souroils Poudre - eyebrows
Christian Dior Eyeliner Waterproof w/ smudger
Shiseido Eyeliner Pencil for retouches
MAC Fluidline Lithograph for an underneath shimmer

Yes, I would definately recommend buying the $60 starter kit that comes with brushes...I suppose some of the brushes could be substituted with others, but the run of the mill cheap powder brush won't work with the BM foundation and the BM concealer brush is AWESOME.

I work at a cosmetics counter so I wear makeup at least 4 times a week. I don't apply makeup before I go to class, though, b/c I am lazy and don't want to wake up any earlier than I have to. I wear:
BM bare vitamins
BM foundation fairly light
BM bisque concealer
BM Warmth
Nars Orgasm blush
Diorshow Mascara
BM eyeshadow
BM eyeliner (usu. soul sister)
BM lipstick/liner in one (i love this thing):
Bare Escentuals Quick-Stick
Lipgloss (usu. Lancome Juicy Gelee or BM)
BM mineral veil

I've been trying different types of make up since i could ever remember! now i'm stuck on,
1. estee lauder double matte foundation or for lighter days, clinique super fit.
2. curl my eyelashes, hardly any mascara
3. loreal liquid liner for under my eyes
4. physicians forumla dusty grey eyeshadow
5. clinique powder
6. physicians forumla multicolor bronzer (works wonders)
7. estee lauder wet/dry brow definer stuff
8. moisturizer: clinique dramatically different gel stuff

wow, never realized how much stuff i use.
But..some of those things i apply just takes 30 seconds or less.
but yeah, i paint my face everyday. Its like a part of me...can't walk out the door w/out foundation on. done it ever since i was young...will do it till i'm dead heheh

I will take that as a complement and Thank you!! but I am sure there are girls on the forum, I know on AF and definitely on MUA who make me appear ametuerish. The thing is, if you ever saw me, I don't look like I wear a ton, which is the look I like. Most of my friends aren't aware of my 'habit'

I just read somewhere that Black Honey is like in the all time top ten of things that EVERYONE should have. It is a great sheer color that you can keep layering darker if you want. Trish McEvoy's sheer blackberry is really similar.

i've been wearing black honey since ~8th or 9th grade. I really like the color and how much you can change it if you put a few layers on

I intended it as a compliment! It takes a lot of knowledge to have a repertoire like that. The mere fact that you appear to be wearing nothing makes it even more apparent to me that you know your stuff. My father always said, as did the few make-up artist I know, that if you can see the make-up you are wearing then you are wearing too much or wearing it incorrectly. Not that I think that is the case for everytime you wear make-up but as a general rule. Anyhoo, I think you have the right job here Ma'am! We're in good hands!

I am going to look up the Black honey. I am hoping it is like the Estee Lauder Perfect Midnight #98 that was their most popular selling shade EVER that they promptly discontinued that I have not found an adequate replacement for STILL.... UGH! Why do they do that? It makes me so stinking mad! I am still digging out the bottom of my last tube on special occasions. I feel so stupid.

MMMMkay...just looked Black honey up. I HAVE To see someone wearing this shade....new thread...

If I'm just babysitting or running errands:

Bobbi Brown corrector undereye concealer
BE foundation
Nars Orgasm blush
lip balm

To go to work/go out, all of the above +
Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner
Diorshow mascara
some sort of eyeshadow
Fresh lipgloss in some shade whose name I don't know

burts bees chapstick

and when i'm feeling dressy, this indian stuff called "kajol" on my bottom eyelids. works better than any eyeliner i've ever encountered!

Daily: Minimal to nothing

SPF 15 Clean & Clear Morning Glory
MAC concealer for under the eyes and if I have a zit that day.

Going out:

SPF 15
concealer
Mascara
eyeshadow
blush

Kinda OT but what does your SO (if you have one) think about you wearing make-up. My fiancee' always tells me I don't have to wear make-up because I look "dirty" when I do...lol...silly boys

- Sunscreen (Shiseido SPF 50)
- Foundation (Jane Iredale PurePressed Powder)
- Lipstick (Shu Uemura)
- Eyeliner (Lancome)

normal lazy day- none
semi lazy day- clinique quick corrector concealer, vincent longo water canvas loose powder, mac blush
going out- the whole shebang! concealer foundation powder blush liner shadow and cant leave the house without the false lashes. it makes all the difference.

oh! and gotta love the benefit she- laq. i swear by it to keep my eyebrows in place.

my hubby probably doesn't pay too much attention, but thinks I look a little better with some on. My coloring in the morning isn't too good, but I glow in the evening, damnit!

I think it is all personal choice to some men. Some like the women 'to the nines' and some prefer au naturel.

my bf doesn't mind makeup but says that i look best when i wake up in the morning sans makeup. meh, i don't know about that

i wear foundation, eyeliner, and blush.

and when im going out, i add mascara, and eyeshadow to the above.

I used to wear my "warpaint" every day but now I simply wear concealer, mascara, and blush ... but I will fix myself up a little more to go out

What shade do you get?

I use bare minerals. And I use their brushes.... but only b/c they came with the starter set. I think you could definately use your own. If you want to try it.... get the starter set at Sephora... only $60 and you get sooo much! Pluse the brushes.

Bare Minerals foundation/warmth/then mineral veil
Nars Sin blush or Mac some peachy color ( but I need to get Nars Orgasm!)
Mac eyeshadow (honey something..)
Bourjeous volume mascara
Chapstick/sometimes gloss

At night... more detailed eye's and sometimes I use Bourjeous Happy light- a shimmery super light foundation... makes your skin glow! Plus lipstick and gloss

lancome mascara, MAC blush right on my smiley cheeks(discontinued shade, don't know what i'm gonna do when i run out, it really is the truest shade to my natural blush) and vaseline on lips.

Going out: mascara, blush, top liner, Nars lip gloss, gold or silver eyeshadow on the inner corners of my eyes, depending on what jewellery i'm wearing.

I'll play!

-Smashbox Photo finish primer
-Maybelline mousse fdtn. on nose, chin and eyes only
-Tarte cheekstain in Tipsy
-Benefit dandelion
-if I need more color, Smashbox blush in Smashing Publish (gorgeous bright pink)
-eyeliner, depends on the day...changes regularly
-a lipgloss, sometimes l'oreal, just a clear l/g.

I wear:

-dabs of moisturizer on the dry spots
-Origins concealer(best one I've found yet, covers the circles)
-Everyday Minerals mixed with some Bare Minerals foundation(3 color mix)
-One of my many blushes, most recently, clear(I think that's the one) radiance BM all over face color, nice and light
-Occasional mascara or occasional eyeshadow smeared on with my finger(eye makeup application is not one of my talents)

Spray with Caudelie face spray to make it look more fresh and not as powdery

Men don't have a clue! My boy says the same, but then when I do wear make up he'll say "You're looking especially nice today, what's different?". He won't even realise its makeup - he can't tell the difference between with or without... all he knows is some days I look pretty and other days not so much.

My fiance bought me a makeup course with proper makeup artists a few years ago and its the best thing he ever got me (meanwhile, he says its the worst thing he ever bought me cause now I take so long to get ready).

I love doing 'natural' make up where it looks like you were born looking that that. I spend a lot of time on getting my skin tone and shading right.... IMO if your skin is glowing, you've 80% of the job done.

My normal make up (when I can be bothered) is:

foundation - mac studio fix (day) or studio tech (night)
* concealer - bobbi brown on blemishes and touche eclat for shadows
* powder - mac blot powder
* contouring - St tropez bronzer
* blush - Mac (margin in frost (sun kissed), orchid sheen roseland (shimmer) for a touch of pink or blushberry (sheertone) for au natural)
* eyebrows - benefit brow zings or if I'm lazy, I just fill them in with mac espresso eye shadow.
* eye primer - benefit lemon aid (great at evening out pigment)
* eye base - benefit pass the potatos or mac brulee in satin
* eyeshadow - clinque buttered bronze shadow duo or stila wheat or benefit trust fund baby
* eyeliners - white pencil on inner rim at the bottom
* mascara - dior show (after a LOT of curling)
* lipliner - mac in stone
* lip gloss - either rosebud salve or mac lipgelee in glosspitality.

If I'm doing it properly like I was taught I think the quickest I've managed is 15 minutes, but I can get the absolute basics done in 5 mins.

I nearly peed himself laughing a couple of months ago when I was packing to go on holidays. One of my fiance's mates was over and he was looking at my make up bag, and pulling things out, going "what the hell is this?" and "what in god's name do you use this for?". I forget that things we take as common knowledge aren't even in their vocabulary.
