I used to only wear it if I were going out. Since I started my new "healthier me" journey in October I have tried to fix my hair and put on makeup, at least powder, blush, mascara, eye shadow and lipstick each day after my workout. Sometimes I add a liquid foundation, sometimes I don't. I just feel better about myself with it on even if I am sitting at home. I figured if I was going to start being healthier and trying to feel better I would go all out. Hubby enjoys seeing me "made up" each day when he gets home from work, but if I am bare faced and in a pony tail he is fine with that too. It is my choice whether I wear it or not.
I wear it about once a month but I used to put it on every day when I was at my goal weight. I didn't use all that much: shadow, eyeliner, blush and gloss. However, now I'm not as motivated. Also, I'm not too happy with all the chemicals in it.
I used to work in the Cosmetics department of Walmart so I wore makeup everyday. However, I only wear it now when I'm going out. I don't (usually) wear makeup to work because I don't really have the patience to do it in the morning, and usually my eyes are tired so I don't want makeup weighing them down.
When I do wear makeup though, it's an all-in-one makeup/powder, eyeliner and eye shadow. I don't wear mascara anymore. No real reason - mine just ran out a few years ago and I never bought any more!
I wear makeup everyday. I don't wear a ton though, but on my 'lazier' days I wear just mascara. My eyes are what I love to play with the most because I consider them my best feature. I love playing with different shadows, always wear mascara, and love eye liner on my lower lids. Other than that I wear a moisturizer, little bit of concealer and powder. Also lip balm, sometimes tinted, sometimes not.
I never wear make up except for one time when I was my cousin's bridesmaid. It's weird though because almost everyone I know wear make up at least twice a week, but my mom never wear make up, she likes the natural look so she never teach us to put them on. She only has a lipstick, foundation powder and blush, that's all her kit and only when she was invited to a party or smthing like that would she put on the make up. I remembered me and my sis were really excited the first time we wore make up (it's part of being a girl, you know) but after all our struggling with how to put on eyeliner and so on we just give up. So now unless someone will do the work for us, we don't even bother wear make up, so basically, never.
If I'm going out for something special, I'll do upper eyeliner and mascara and some eye shadow. For my daily life out and about I just do mascara, but I go in and out of chunks of time doing both mascara and eye shadow. Just the two, no eyeliner. I never feel weird without it because growing up I hardly ever wore it. I only use it as an accent, and when I do use it I generally feel more put together all over.
If I'm working from home or on the weekend when I'm just going out shopping for food and running errands I don't bother with makeup. If I'm traveling I don't bother. If I'm at the office or away at business meetings I always wear full makeup. Also, when I go out in the evening with my husband, I wear it. I always use a good moisturizer with SPF whether wearing makeup or not.
Makeup every morning before work. If I am at home for a day there is no way I do makeup. My neighbor who is 80 does makeup when she is just sitting home.
At the very very least, I wear mascara every day but I really try to a little bit of natural looking makeup everyday. I like looking like I've put some effort into my appearance. For too long I really didn't care how I looked.
Even though I'm super girly and I care a lot about how I look, I don't wear makeup often (maybe 2 or 3 days out of the week - I work from home).
When I do wear makeup I have two looks:
The Easy Breezy Look: This mainly consists of a tinted gloss and mascara. This takes like 2 minutes to apply.
The Going Out On The Town Look: I wear mascara, eyeliner, sparkly eyeshadow, blush and lipstick. From start to finish this is maybe 10 minutes to apply.
I focus on skin care and never wanted to be totally dependent on makeup. However, I always have something on my lips. Always.

Reason: typo
I don't wear it anymore. When I used to wear it, I sometimes hated it. One day I realized just how beautiful my face is au natural and stopped wearing it altogether. I swear, almost every man that I've dated in the past has told me, "why do you wear makeup? you don't need it." My dad would tell me that too all the time. I've also noticed that since stopping, my skin has gotten even smoother and lovelier. The only thing I put on my face is raw organic shea butter.
whenever I find the time to put it on. I like feeling feminine. I usually do eyeliner, and pin up style eye makeup with wings and mascara, if im going out-red lipstick too.
most of the time when I go out. If I am going to the grocery store or a place like cvs I usually don't bother putting on makeup. If I do, it's a light dusting of powder. Any place else I put more effort into it. I am obsessed with makeup so I love putting it on lol
I wear make up everyday. Someday less than others. If I don't have time to curl my hair then I go with minimal make up.
I work for a farm implement dealership and of the 22 eplyees at our location I am the only woman. I do like to look feminine. And the guys do notice. One will even comment if I get a new shade of listick or eye shadow...and he will give both positive and negative comments.
Many of our customers are classmates of mine from high school. I think one of the best compliments I got was fone day 4 former classmates were in the shop and one said to the others..."What's her secret, she looks younger al the time and we just keep getting older?" Of course not a one of it bought it when I reply, "Must be all my years of good clean living!"
