Full make up…… just in case.

Sorry! I meant Sago

Is that Grasmere, Boz?
Another Laura Mercier fan here

Quick stop for a picnic, view appreciation, photo and more lippy ?

As someone who couldn't put the bins out without makeup on I'm so surprised (and may be a little worried!) at myself that since Covid I just can't be bothered.

I wear it now if going out with the family but otherwise don't bother

I always wore full make up when I was working, it helped my confidence. I have toned it down a bit, but never leave without mascara (my eyelashes are blond) and tinted moistureiser at the very least.
Also I always wore lipstick, but thatt is impossible, as we are still wearing masks here.

I don’t understand when people say that they put makeup on for themselves and not other people. Unless you are continually looking in a mirror it is not the wearer that sees it so surely it is for the other people that are looking at you.

Oh I could rabbit all day too Boz! I love makeup and couldn’t survive without it. I’m afraid I can’t advise re foundation/base as I hate the look and feel of it on me. Tried loads and gave up every time. Sometimes though I use some face primer (Look Fabulous Forever or Clarins) to blur the lines and pores and both stay on well.

Some magazine did an article about foundation (or base coat as it is now called) and found the cheaper ones are ok but haven't the lasting power of the dearer brands. I tried a Primark once, as a matter of interest as it was only £2.50. It was very light and liquidy but my face didn't drop off!
These days I stick with Laura Mercier base coat as it last all day and is waterproofish when swimming (I swim like a crocodile with face above the water). I think Clarins do nice products and is, I believe, worn by the Queen.
I could rabbit all day on make-up. Sorry.

I have a daytime "Face" and a evening going out Face... You go girl fully agree.

I have only just started wearing make up when I go out again - don't bother when at home.
Anyone have any suggestions for make up that stays in place even after wearing a mask ? I have found that when taking your mask on and off, when on the bus, in the shops etc that more ends up on the inside of the mask than on my face !

Always put full make on every day. Feel so much better and look better with it. Often look at someone and think oh wish I could be let loose on you with some make up and you would look so much better! A lot of women looked washed out and no bringing out of their best features.

I've never worn much make-up, but I sometimes put lipstick on if I'm going out - and because I now have to look at myself when I'm on Zoom or Teams calls I try to make the effort then too. The only time I wear 'full face' make-up is if I think it's important to show someone I made the effort. E.g. for a wedding or special dinner party - or if I'm doing something special with my daughter.

I wear make up every day. Takes 2 minutes to apply after my shower and before dressing. Moisturise then powder foundation, eye shadow, liner and mascara. Lip stick if I’m going out, and always a spritz of perfume - Brad Pitt might be on my bin wagon one day!

Always lipstick - don't know why I bother as it never stays on, especially with masks!

Never a full face.

You are not alone as I have wore makeup for most of my life. The makeup is for you and you alone.

Boz

I wouldn't put out bins out unless wearing make-up; I swim in make-up. Why? Because I look bloody awful without it.

I now wear a face shield so as not to spoil the lippy!
Make-up and clothes lift my mood.

Yes every day. Taupe eyeshadow, fine line of black liner and pink tinted lip balm. Without it I disappear and as Boz said look bloody awful. And a quick squirt of what we called ‘scent’ back in the day. Five minutes tops. I wouldn’t venture beyond the back door without it. We have horses behind us and I’m wary of frightening them …?

You look really nice Sago. I’m childminding and it was door-to-door in the dark & will be going home later so I’ve gone ‘au naturel’ today. Hmm. Not the best look as I catch myself in one of the mirrors here!
?

I do use blusher because I look washed out without it, but not to put the bins out!

Me too Boz (I'm sure you don't). I even put lipstick on when I wear my mask!

I found it quite liberating not to wear makeup all the time as a mask hides the wrinkles and there is no point in wearing lipstick.

Yesterday, going out for lunch, I did wear a little makeup as we went to England and it's difficult to eat lunch wearing a mask anyway.
I look worse with eye makeup than without apart from a little mascara on my rather short and sparse eyelashes.

I look like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards and the only thing on my face is blue and magnolia paint

You look great but not for me, I wear a little for occasions but just a lick of pencil, mascara and lipstick but you’d hardly know it was there.

I always wore full make-up when at work it was part of my "uniform" for the day.
Now every day I apply tinted BB cream to give me colour and moisturise my skin for the day,at the moment I don't ware eye make-up as I am having treatment on my eyes and have to be very careful.
