No longer bother with make up or how I dress!

Well, I do, but I quite enjoy seeing people natural.
I like messy hair, and clean skin and people looking comfortable that way.

No, I don’t think I have really, but entirely understand why some people do, depending on their circumstances.
If you aren’t going anywhere, or may not see anyone on a particular day, comfortable clothes ( or grubby gardening ones could be the best thing.
I have certainly put weight on though!

I wear makeup and dress more formally the two days a week I work. Other days I dress more casually and the only makeup I wear is lipstick. I don’t like “leisure” wear still wear a nice skirt or pair of trousers and top even on casual stay at home days. Also would never spend the day in pyjamas I would just feel grubby.

I have odd days when I don’t bother but most of the time I do.
To me it’s a way of retaining some normality in these strange times.

Usually very casual with comfy old clothes washed and worn all the time, but recently plucked up sufficient courage to do our own supermarket shop. I changed into something smart /casual, hair washed, a bit of eye shadow, mascara and lipstick. Our first supermarket visit since March. Ridiculously excited with an added drop of nerves.

I haven’t really altered what I wear ie jeans & tops with occasional leggings or dresses.

I wear more eye make up when I go out because with a mask, I feel eyes need more emphasis and also just going to the shop for some milk seems like an adventure nowadays!

Until lockdown, I wore full make up and dressed in professional business suits 5 days a week; even on the one day that I worked from home. Since lockdown, I no longer wear any makeup; at all. I know that I won't ever go back into my office to work again and so I took my 4 office suits, shoes and bags to the charity shop last week. I have very recently decided that wearing a bra is rather uncomfortable so that might get ditched too.

I very rarely, once a year if that, wear make up. Spent thirty years ‘power dressing’, live in jeans/shorts dependent on the season. Hair has always been a bit wild, but if I’m comfortable, I’m more assured. No weight put on in lockdown, too much anxiety!

I still do my hair every morning and by lunchtime I look as if I've been pulled through a hedge backwards.

No makeup unless I do go out.

I wear make-up every day; I like wearing it, think it makes me look slightly better, and it makes me feel good. But for some reason I forget to wear perfume, which I wore every day.

Could not go without a bra! That's a step too far. Got a wardrobe full of nice clothes but spend my time in jeans and shorts these days. I often wonder if I'll ever go back to the office.

I was like this till I went back to work nowBack in my uniform and all bad Habits ditched!

I was awful in lockdown. Scruffy, no make up, unwashed hair. I improved a bit when I had to do Zoom working and then had to get myself in order when I returned to work. Except I didn't totally manage to get my previous polish totally back.

No change for me as I'm an 'essential' worker so I worked all throughout lockdown (support worker) my clothes are casual and comfy for work anyway ...leggings and tunics mainly and tinted moisturiser for face ?

Jeans? Baggy top? No make up? Seriously? Rest assured, I don't wear make up but I wouldn't be seen dead in denim. It's collar and tie, blazer and trousers, old fashioned trousers, with turn ups. Fair Isle socks and two tone shoes.

For the casual look, light coloured trousers, with an Aloha shirt and a straw sun hat.

I like to wear suits too, most are vintage style with wide lapels, one in particular is a zoot suit (google image of a zoot suit) Dress down, no thanks.

My wife wears little make up, but you would be surprised at that if you saw her. Her perfect eyebrows and full red lips are not all they seem. They are tattooed.

Crikey, am I so unusual? During the day I dress according to what I’m doing e.g. old clothes for gardening, comfortable clothes for housework, smarter for shopping but come evening I have a bath and put on my lovely clothes before dinner. I don’t see the point in keeping clothes for “best” so, for example last night it had turned cold so I was wearing a lovely royal blue Windsmoor dress.
Gave up bras in the 60s and only very rarely wear one now. Sometimes wear lip gloss but no other make up. It ages you I think.

Always some makeup for me.
It’s second nature and only takes a couple of minutes - I’ve got it down to a fine art! Still use perfume daily - bottle in the car, another in the bathroom and mini version in handbag.
Clothes are another matter - they all seem to have shrunk in lockdown - so lots of elastic waist stuff and long tops for me.
Casual, but not too scruffy, I hope.

What a dandy Spangler

Since I was about 16 I have put on a full face of make-up every day unless I’ve been home ill. I feel pale, blotchy and sickly looking if I don’t. As soon as lockdown started I realised there was no point in doing it anymore. I live alone and apart from a daily walk wasn’t seeing anyone. It suddenly felt unimportant to wear makeup and even when I did start going out I didn’t bother with it. My face got a little bit tanned and less pasty and I gradually got used to seeing my bare face again after over 40 years. Last week I travelled to see my family for the first time since January and took not one item of Make-up with me. It felt really freeing. For special occasions whenever we can have them again, I will probably wear it but now it feels really normal to go out without it.

I seem to have gone the other way, making an effort since the beginning of lockdown to put a bit of face on and wear smart clothes when going out.
A noticed a couple of people in our area also doing the same,
We wear masks at all times outside the home here and I have found myself wearing eye make up more than before.

Just a little make up for me every day whether I'm going out or at home. Light tinted foundation, eye shadow, mascara, and always different earrings every day.
It's part of my anti-depression therapy to make an effort to look my best. I do wear comfortable clothes indoors but always try to look reasonably neat.

I wear less formal clothes as not at work but I still like to be clean and tidy. I love my make up but only wear if go out ,my skin seems better without it. I always wear perfume.

I lost 4 stone just before lockdown and was so pleased as I’m always struggling with my weight, I treated myself to new clothes.
Now I have put two of it back on due to all the sweet things I was eating during that time (I’m a chocoholic) and can’t fit into any of the new clothes and my old clothes are still to big.
I used to never even go to the corner shop without my lippy on now I will go to Town bare faced.
I’m so mad at myself I have to take myself under control ?

I feel like I have definitely let myself go a bit; I never wore make up anyway and still follow my personal care and cleanse, tone, moisture routines
Where I am falling short is my dress code; as I am not at the office I spend my days in jeans or jogging bottoms; considering a major cull of more formal clothes, can't see me needing a lot of them ever again.........
