Do you dislike wearing makeup as I do?

I wear makeup every day ..it has never damaged My skin and in My late 50s I have pretty good skin but use spf 50 on My Face but I haven’t always 🙂

I have never worn it, don’t own any at all.

I wear make up every day as I think I look old and haggard without it.

I very rarely wear it. I don’t like the feel of it on my skin.

Cleanse every day, moisturise every day and night. Lip salve , hand cream and that is it. But I wear perfume every day.
I have never used make up 🤷‍♀️

Never wear any apart for very special occasions. I’m lucky that I have a nice complexion and colouring.

I wear very light understated makeup.Ultrasun tinted Factor 50 sunscreen is perfect for summer without the need for wearing foundation.I use eye primer, cream eyeshadow and mascara as my lashes are very pale.I also use Estée Lauder brow pencil in blonde which is very natural looking.Blusher is a slick of Clinique rhubarb chubby stick,which doubles up as lipstick.

Every time I leave the house

I've never worn much foundation, just a touch here and there when I was working. I find that concealer is my best friend as I get older, but most of the time I simply don't bother. I can't bear the mask-like look that some spend ages achieving in front of the mirror.
If I'm going somewhere special and making a bit more of an effort I'll wear mascara (but not the lengthening kind) and maybe a tiny bit of natural looking eyeshadow and lipstick.
At 72 I doubt that anybody would actually notice that I bothered!

Totally agree, Germanshepherdsmum, I used to wear makeup when I was younger but now at 79, I have noticed that if I look sideways at my face after I have applied BB cream, there are a load of lines that I had never seen before! If I'm going somewhere special (fat chance these days) I might put on some primer, but really, I like my face when I am well-rested and have moisturised well. All it needs is some colour if I'm going out.

I'm just trying out a light BB cream and also a moisturiser with factor 30. Factor 50 is what I've been advised to use, but as I don't go out much, I haven't been bothering, so Factor 30 - in nice moisturiser - is better than nothing. Whatever - less is more.

I'm planning to get something done to my brows soon as they are sparse in some areas and straggly in others; I do fill them in sometimes but it's annoying to have to do that.

I like to cake it on with a trowel, as a rule.
A nice, garish blue eyeshadow, red lippy, and lots and lots of jet black eyeliner and eyebrows.

When I was young (a long time ago) we never wore suncrea. Only people who were well off who went on holiday abroad did. As children we played out all day in the sun and if we got sunburnt Mum slapped on the calamine lotion!! Any damage had already happened. I do wear some light make up, always nail varnish and earrings. Not ready to go au natural yet.

I don't wear make up either - only exception a light touch up on my eyebrows which are affected by thyroid issues.

Not wearing makeup would like me walking around nude lol it ain’t going to happen. Unless it’s Sunday then I give my brushes a rest unless I’m going somewhere then I will wear it. I wear a lot of qvc makeup. It’s come along way from the cake on effect.

And very nice it looks 😂

Yes the older we get the more we get the trowel out 🤣

I have always liked wearing a discreet amount of makeup, and have always been exceeding careful to buy one of two brands that I know does me and my skin no harm.

Now, living in a small country town, and being over 70, I no longer bother with make up, except for very special occasions, which are few and far between these days.

I have worn moisturizer, foundation, eye brow pencil and blusher all my adult life. I can't wear eyeliner or mascara because I wear very strong contact lenses and need to keep them completely clean. Make up has changed a lot over the years and it's not difficult to find products that are light on the skin, but cover unevenness. If I am staying at home all day, then I don't wear makeup and do wear my thick glasses to rest my eyes. It's not a good look!

I hardly ever wear any makeup nowadays..I try to accept myself as I am. Ageing is a challenge and an ongoing one. But it is also freeing.

I only wear makeup if I’m going out.
I don’t see the point of it if I’m staying in.

I certainly look a lot better with makeup than without it.

I remember reading an article many years ago that said foundation protected the skin - not any damage. despite reading that I still don't wear any . I've bought an eyebrow pencil which I try to remember to use as my eyebrows have virtually disappeared. Apart from that I don't use anything - not because I don't like it but because I'm too lazy.
I just wish that many ladies understood the phrase LESS IS MORE when it comes to applying makeup and more importantly perfume. The way to wear perfume is to spray it and walk through it - not bath in it! A hint of a nice smell is far better than an overwhelming pong.

I have always loved make up and wear it most days. It boosts my confidence and makes me feel more feminine. Not too much, just enough to boost morale.

All I use is primer -it smooths out the unevenness. I don’t use any thing else on my skin.

I wear make-up everyday since the age of 16. I also cleanse it off everyday. I’m often complemented on how nice my skin is. I’m sure it’s protected me from sun damage over the years, so will continue to use.

I wear full make up every day and always have done. Definitely look far better with it on than off! I think being sutle and changing shades as you get older. No bright red lipstick, black mascara, black eye liner, heavy foundation and bright blusher.
Think older skin looks coarse and uneven without foundation, you no longer have that dewy and even look of your youth but you need to be light with application and choose your colour carefully. My skin has a much better tone and over all look with foundation and covers blemishes. I go for a grey/brown eye pencil, taupe eyeshadow, brown/navy mascara, nice foundation and hint of blusher and always pink lipstick. I am not 25 anymore (oh what a shame) Look so much better with it on and feel good about myself then.
