Started putting some on everyday since lockdown- makes me look and feel better!

Hardly ever.

Jaxjacky Sun 11-Apr-21 13:35:29

Never.

Only pencil on my lower lashes.

Yes, always.

Moisturiser, eyebrow pencil, brow high lighter pencil, don't often bother with mascara, not much lipstick either these days, masks have sent sales of lipstick into a downward spiral I gather.

Always moisturiser and eye pencil, as we used to do in the 60’s!

I never wear foundation, can’t bear the feel of it, but alway moisturiser - in spring and summer it’s a ‘gradual glow’ one.
If going out of the house, and often in it, I wear mascara, pencil on lower lids, a little blusher and a not too bright lipstick.

Before lockdown I wouldn't go out without eye makeup, blusher and lipstick. Gradually I've worn less and less and now even go to the supermarket without any makeup on at all shock

I'm hoping I'll get back to my usual glamorous self as my life gets back to 'normal'!

Yes, every day except Sunday. The full works...

yes - tinted moisturiser, eye pencil and mascara everyday - my skin gets dried out without the tm and without a bit of help I have a fright when I look in the mirror smile

During workdays, Good moisturiser, tinted cc foundation, eyebrow tint, dot of lipstick and an eye primer. That does the trick. I use mascara if in a zoom meeting. Try to go makeup free at weekends.

I have to pencil my eyebrows because I lost them through stress when daughter left home for uni. They never grew back I put concealer on red blotches and a little lipstick.

No need to gild the lily grin

No, just tinted moisturiser and lip gloss. I was never a great wearer of makeup as I have sensitive skin and now I have to wear large tinted lenses nobody would see any eye makeup ?

Yes. Always. Minimal.

Shinamae Sun 11-Apr-21 11:24:20

Day!!

Shinamae Sun 11-Apr-21 11:23:56

Try to have at least one completely make up free a week. Otherwise its foundation and lipstick and sometimes mascara definitely foundation....

Marmight Sun 11-Apr-21 11:21:08

High days and holidays only and then I can’t wait to remove it. Makes me feel claustrophobic. Oh, the relief when I revert to as Nature intended ?

Before covid I wouldn’t go anywhere without foundation mascara lipstick, but now it’s just mascara. And actually I love to feel the fresh air on my face, who would have thought!
