    For me it totally depends on how much time i have. Some times it's glasses and no makeup, sometimes contacts and makeup, i do not do makeup everyday, that is for sure:)

    Light make up every day for me!
    My foundation is a powdered mineral type and it has an SPF of 25 which means I am protecting my face everyday too!! Yay! :happy:

    Hopefully keeping the fine lines at bay for as long as possible. :wink:

    Depends on how busy I get.

    It's not looking like I'll be that busy. Too damned efficient.

    I'm currently unemployed but when I was working, make-up was reserved for business meetings or business functions; I absolutely hate the feel of it on my face. I did start using the bare minerals stuff from Sephora though and that was a bit better.
    Now, make-up is reserved for special occasions. When I get employed again, I guess it'll be a judgement call at that point.

    I wear a lick of mascara and blusher for work and cover up any dodgy spots! But I try and make it as natural as possible and barely any.

    I will then take my make-up wipes to work with me if I am going straight to the gym from work as I CANNOT STAND wearing make-up to workout.

    Seeing people wearing a full face of slap to the gym REALLY gets my goat!

    But back to make-up for work...

    I try and wear as little as possible so that I can define between day-time and night-time, so I feel a bit more special on a night out or special occasion!

    When I worked in a professional setting I did put on lipstick and eyeliner every morning (it was usually worn off by 10 a.m.). When I worked in a call centre I didn't bother. I think it depends on the environment and on your personal preference.

    I have to be at work at 4am...as long as I'm clean and can manage to get the sleep out of my eyes I could care less about make up..... Plus if I try to put it on I'm scared I may put an eye out with the eye liner or mascara brush.....:noway:

    No one wants to see me without make up! I just wear eye make up but it makes me look like I got some sleep!

    I only wear make-up on two occasions: Holidays (only for the party aspect) and when I totally feel like crap. My motto is, fake it until you make it, so if I look really good, I usually feel like isht.

    Yes. Almost always if I'm out, ALWAYS at work, but not at the gym (that I will never understand - full makeup and then you sweat and need to shower?). It's about looking polished and "finished" as opposed to looking half dead. Of course, the younger you are, the easier it is to go without it.

    lol
    I'm the same way. The better I look(this only applies to work) the worse I feel. funny.

    But honestly I feel so much more confident and attractive, I kind of like it.
    Of course it means no snooze button.

    I wear a little bit of powder to give my face a little color and some mascara, that's usually it. Helps me look like I'm awake haha. Plus I'm in HR i meet with people constantly, so I feel like I have to put forth at least a little effort :grumble:

    but like someone else said, full make up is reserved for nights out! I want a difference to be noticeable!

    I wear 12 or 24 hour lipstick and mascara every day. Occasionally I will wear more for special occasions, but, for work, those two would be it.

    just eyeliner and mascara (otherwise my eyes look small and people ask if I'm feeling OK).

    Basically that's about all I ever wear, but I have one co-worker who is made up like a Geisha every day...its actually quite humorous. I'm sure she thinks people look at her because she looks good, but I suspect they're actually horrified!

    I usually just wear some mascara and lipgloss to work. If I am getting dressed up for work though I will usually put on a little more makeup like eyeliner and lipstick.

    i work at the front desk of my job. i have to wear make-up. though i do go for the more natural look and i don't do "full war paint". i just do my eyes and have tinted lip balm that i put on all day long. but yeah, three colors of shadow, liner, mascara and eyebrow pencil (mine are really light) every single day.

    Nope, maybe mascara and if i feel super pale some bronzer but nope i really dont wear make up. To be honest i dont wear alot of make up out on the town either. But id rather not have all that stuff on my face all day long. Its better for your skin to just wear moisturizer and things of that nature

    I have blond eyebrows and lashes and dark hair so i always atleast darken my eyebrows and put mascara on so i don't look so freakishly pale, lol. Now depending on how much time and what i'm wearing depends on how much more makeup i put on.

    Full makeup every day (unless I'm sick, and in that case you're just lucky I'm here). However, it seems I apply 10 different products in order to make it look like I'm not wearing any make up. Sigh. It sucks to be a girl.

    I don't wear a lot of makeup... Eyeliner, shadow, blush and powder. I do wear it daily though. I totaly dislike lipstick.

    I have the worst skin ever, so I have to wear foundation every day. I just use a light mineral foundation though, so it's not too unnatural looking. I reserve full eye makeup and lip gloss to going out or a hot date :wink:

    I never used to wear make-up but now wear eyeliner, mascara and blush, I put lippy on but it never stays on so don't worry about it so much just like to liven my eyes up a bit

    In my 20's if I had no make-up on my mother ( first she did in the morning was put her eye brows on lol ) would tell me to put make-up on so I would then my now ex would tell me to get the muck off my face when he would see me. Every now and then I would pull the make-up out and put some on then again my ex would tell me to get it off........ After giving birth to twin girls when I was 31 and then reaching my late 30's I pulled out the make-up again one day and my ex said to me " shows you are getting old you look better with make-up on instead of off.... " lol
