Do you wear make up?

Yes, about 4 days out of 7. When I think I might be Facetimed by family. My grandaughter thought I was ill when she saw me with my highlights grown out and grey hair, which seemed to change the colour of my skin and eyes. She had a crying fit.
Coloured moisturiser, blusher, eye shadow and mascara.

If I’m staying home I don’t wear any but if going shopping yes I do makes me feel dressed and you never know who you will meet being single only way going to meet anyone not that I would date mask lol

I no longer wear make-up every day and after a year of lockdowns of various strengths I am not sure I shall start wearing make-up again.

The old woman who looks back at me from the mirror, will, I suspect, look rather ridiculous wearing mascara and eye-shadow and probably remind me of my grandmother describing women as "mutton dressed as lamb".

However, I may try working out a suitable make-up for this old woman who I am having a hard time accepting is me!

Yes, always. I have standards to keep up!!

I only wear make up for weddings and fancy nights out. Even then, it is a little foundation to cover up the redness, eye liner and mascara. After an hour I generally look like a panda because it makes my eyes itch. I've never really been into makeup, it just seems a lot of faff.

Always:
My routine is cleanse tone and moisturize and then put on my make-up. Make-up being foundation, blusher, eyebrow pencil,
sometimes eye-liner always mascara. Never forgetting to clean it off at night and put on some night cream.
I have done this since I was 16 years old and until I feel too old to do it shall continue.

No I don't or should I say can't wear make. I developed an allergy to most cosmetics in the early 2000s so had to stop wearing it. I have to spray even perfume on my clothes if I need to.

Very, very, VERY rarely. Maybe a touch of mascara and blusher for a wedding or special occasion. Don't really like the feel of makeup.

No, don’t even own any make up now. Got rid of it all years ago.

Always wear moisturiser, foundation ,blush, lip balm / lipstick but no eye makeup unless special occasion. Have to make myself look a bit human ?

I have never worn foundation in my life and stopped using eye makeup daily when I was mid twenties and having babies. Last time I tried mascara (for a wedding) it tickled so much trying to put it on I gave up.
My granddaughter was amazed when she found some really old makeup in a drawer and insisted on making me up - it soon came off again.

Not a big user of makeup. Only when going on a night out. But... I have been getting my eyebrows and eyelashes dyed since I was 16 (I’m now 61!!). At the moment the dyed ones have fallen out leaving just very pale white ones so I occasionally use mascara. Waiting for beauticians to reopen in Scotland so I can get them dyed again. Moisturise every day and always put sunscreen on when I’m going out.

Always wear make up every day whatever. Look so much better, feel better and improves every woman I think. Obviously changed shades as I have got older.

Most definitely, every day! I dont know anybody who doesn't look better with make up on!

On days when I stay at home, I just wear bronzer powder as blusher and lip gloss.
When going out, I wear light foundation, nude eye shadow, grey eye pencil, mascara (although I sometimes give it a miss, as it tend to ends up under my eyes) and nude-ish lipstick.
Would never go to any function bare faced. Never!!!

Moisturiser every day. Tinted moisturiser for work or visiting, plus lipliner, lipstick and gloss, and eye makeup. It makes me feel good.

Hardly ever. If I was going to a wedding or something, I’d use tinted moisturiser, a bit of lipstick, a pale eyeshadow and some mascara. It’s mainly because I can’t apply it! When I see the difference in photos of glamorous souls with and without their makeup, it makes me think that I should have made more of myself it the past.

Always told you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear - so no

I have always loved makeup. Nearly every day I apply a very light foundation, undereye concealer, eyepencil, mascara, eyebrow pencil, blusher and lipgloss. Sounds a lot but only takes me a couple of minutes. Look so much better with it on. Today I am decorating so no makeup on at all. I do keep what I use very light and subtle and have changed the products I use as my skin has matured. Nothing expensive and I can recommend Aldi's caviar day and night creams.

Yes, every day. I always did before retiring so felt no need to let things go after that! Likewise the pandemic, going without makeup and living in pyjamas would have been giving in to the horrible life imposed on us - it has been one of the ways for me to have some sort of normality to life to continue as I always have.

I discovered " Boom stick" you can buy on line. It looks like large lipstick and you apply wear you need color. Goes with any skin tone. Very subtle. I moisturize and use this along with eyebrow pencil because my eyebrows seem to have disappeared. Maybe when we become social, I may use some mascara:-)

Hi there.
Yes every day although less when I'm not going out .

Used to wear foundation and lipstick but since coronavirus and masks rarely use any of that as I hate to see it transferred to the mask. Also it looks so fake now I’ve got used to being without it.

People say you look better with makeup but I disagree with older people, I think foundation cakes into the lines/ folds of your face and emphasises them and eye make up also gets into the folds and looks awful. At 70 I have very few lines but I still don’t like the look of it on myself any more.

Love this thread...I double cleanse then apply serum. Next is my home-made moisturiser and always, always a high factor sunscreen. I then do the mascara and apply a tiny amount of cream blush to the 'apples' of my cheeks and finish off with a light lipstick...I love that I've downsized on my makeup and much prefer the more 'natural' look....
