I've never really had a good makeup routine! Other than eye shadow,mascara etc. Could anybody discuss their routines. Thanks!

Get up. splash cool water on face, apply lotion. Done.

I wear make-up every day.

I moisturize, apply foundation (with a brush, not a sponge), eye liner, mascara, eye shadow (most days), concealer and some blusher.
I've gotten so use to wearing it, that I feel strange without it, or a little bit naked without it.

Some people spend an hour doing their make-up, but I've gotten use to putting it on now as a daily thing, so usually only takes 5-10 mins.

Most days its just face wash, toner and some lotion, no makeup.

Make up days it's face wash, toner and lotion. Concealer(sometimes, depending on how much sleep I get or what my skin has going on). Foundation powder I put on with a brush pretty lightly, just enough to even out my skin tone. Brush eyebrows to shape/tweeze if necessary. Then it's Mascara followed by a very light blush. If I go all out, and I very rarely do... I add eyeliner and some eyeshadow, might pencil my eyebrows enough to not be obvious but to get them closer to matching my hair color oh and I'll put on a light primer under the foundation powder to make my skin a little more smooth looking.. also seems to help keep me from getting shiny as quickly as I usually do.

That's normally what I would do,just wash my face,toner and some lotion no makeup. I've been working on a complete make-over! You have a great routine! Now let's see if I can add some to mine. Thanks!

Um... what's a toner? Isn't that like make-up as well? Sorry I'm completely ignorant...

I wear pencil eye-liner pretty much every day, plus a dusting of mineral powder foundation. Today I wore some lip-gloss just cuz I felt like it, but my morning tea has washed it away.

Boo.

Everyday I wear makeup. I mainly just wear mascara,eyeliner and eyeshadow but I will occasionally put on blush or a lip stick from time to time.

I start by applying a base so my eye makeup stays on longer, then I apply my eyeshadow, my mascara and then my eyeliner and I'm done within about 20 minutes on a good day. Sometimes it takes me 30 but not often.

I am obsessed with make-up. I HAVE to wear it if I'm going anywhere... you'll never catch me with a "naked" face in public!

During the day, I stick to a nice neutral look. It's fairly similar to everyone else's post, so I'll skip that.

At night, I have to admit that I wear a lot of make up. Not in a trashy way, I just like for my skin to look flawless, which takes a lot of stuff for me.

I go in order:

1. Clinique pore minimizer & moisturizer
2. Cream concealer
3. Liquid foundation
4. Pressed powder
5. Highlighting bronzer
6. Blush
7. Eyes- usually a quad of shadows in the same shade. (I like to use gray & black to create a smoky look)
8. Gel eyeliner, then go over it with a matching matte shadow to seal it in.
9. Curl lashes
10. Apply 2 coats of mascara!

Then, there you have it- a perfect going out look!

cinbuns, It must take you quite awile to apply your makeup? I don't wear makeup all the time,but I'm trying to add more to my routine!

As a child, I would watch my Mom put her makeup on. It took her a hour or so. I like to see women with that trashy makeup look as it really turns me on. Well not really trashy, just a lot of makeup on as long as it's that clean look. My wife... no makeup, just lotion and out the door she goes. Being a redneck kind of guy, I like that trashy look on women.
