I use anything at hand. At the moment it is some stuff from M&S that DD gave me. I also use a rose oil occasionally. Since I always wear glasses I wear mascara and use a soft grey kohl pencil on my upper eyelid. Hardly ever wear lipstick, just a lip salve when I remember

I use Lancôme foundation, L'oreal bronzer and mascara, Max Factor lipstick. As I am fair haired I have tried many eye brow pencils and found that an Eyelure one isn't too harsh. It all takes 15 mins and I never leave the house without all of it. Even walking the dog!!

I use Nivea moisturiser, Clarins foundation, Urban Decay eyeshadow, Clinique mascara, Body Shop eyebrow makeup, various lipsticks, Clarins bronzer or blusher, guerlain meteorites for highlighting cheekbones. I use all of these every day using less or more dependant on the occasion. I tend to look washed out without it - especially since my eyebrows disappeared!

By the way all that lot only takes 5-10 minutes.

Depends on what's happening. I always cleans and moisturise don't often use toner and these days serum, moisture surge and then moisturiser. If it's golf or a day at home- tinted moisturiser (Clarins) mascara and blusher, lip gloss/oil.
At home sometimes nothing but a thick layer of moisturiser and plenty of oil in my hair when washed.
To go out the full works after moisturisers primer (Clarins) concealer (Clinique) base (Chanel) blusher (Bobby Brown) Brow Zings (Benefit) eye shadows (Two Clarins) light dust of powder (Clarins) lipstick (Dior).
I like playing with make up and I feel I look better and feel more confident with it on. The brands I use are those I can get in this town there is only Boots which doesn't sell any good brands so I have to go into Leicester or Nottingham but haven't found anywhere selling Laura Mercier yet which I would like to try.

Day time I use moisturiser, powder, mascara and brow pencil.
For a dressed up occasion I add concealer, eye shadow and lippy.

Light foundation to disguise the thread veins, a bit of brown eyeshadow as eyeliner and a touch of mascara.

I use a small amount of eye shadow and nothing else at all.

I use tinted moisturiser in the summer and a light foundation in the winter. I always use powder and I like blusher but have started using a highlighter and shaper compact as well. I've more or less given up on eye make up as I seem to be allergic to everything. I miss it though.

Wondering what you put on your faces ?. These days I tend to use a tinted
moisturiser for work and that's it. When going out I tend to put on foundation, mascara and lipstick, sometimes bronzer . I used to put on eye liner but it's such a palaver with the magnified mirror I got fed up lol....also I like Laura Mercier products, do you have a particular favourite?
