How often do you wear makeup? (POLL)

Are you a makeup guru that loves applying and wearing makeup all the time? Or do you rather not wanna go through the hassle and only wear it on special occasions?

I like wearing a bit of makeup when I go out with friends but if I'm just heading to get groceries then I don't like to bother.

I wear light makeup every day when im going out before the pandemic but now since we're wearing masks i rarely wear it unless for special occasions or when im eating out

Smart. Too much makeup will stain masks and it's one of my pet peeves

lmao i don't wear makeup when wearing masks not because it will stain the masks but because my face is covered with mask lmao

Still smart

Just lipstick every day for meetings so I won't look like a zombie but after I wash it off right away

On daily basis when going to work I wear light BB cream and mascara on upper lashes since my eyelashes are blond but long, so I'm used to 'coloring them' to make them visible haha. That's only when going to work (and to school or uni, when I went there) but not when going grocery shopping or something else.

I put a little bit more if I go to some event or out on the weekend. I would use blush, eyebrow pencil and lipstick.

Still pretty light compared to most women I see around I guess.

I usually try to make my lashes visible whenever I meet with people with an eyelash curler since they're naturally tiny. Idk what it is but I can't ever wear lipstick, I always go for lip gloss instead.

And yeah I know some girls who put probably a whole liter of makeup on and they look amazing. Kinda makes me jealous lol

Yout still wear masks? I think covid is all forgotten at the moment where I'm from

Same. The only person I know who wears a mask is my mom

OT - since I'm derailing as usual

Oh, there are almost no cases here rn, so it feels like I'll do more damage to myself by wearing mask than not wearing it. I feel so free finally But I have to admit, it felt so unusual not wearing it at first when I wore it for the 2 years straight. It was like something was missing. But now it feels normal again and good!

Btw haha there was someone from work that didn't recognize me without a mask, they were introducing themselves to me saying: ''your colleague 'keaji' already knows me, I'm...bla bla'' And I was like: ''but I am 'keaji'!''. They were shocked hahaha, because they never saw me without a mask and didn't even realize I was the same person.

Yeah, I think it depends on a person what you prefer, I used to like lip gloss more too, but now I'm a lipstick person

Oh on a daily basis I also sometimes use lipbalm since my lips are super pale, I use the Labello strawberry shine, to give me just a little bit of color

Yeah, some girls do know how to put on makeup so well!

Well only once I gone to professional to do my makeup (for my cousin's wedding) and it was horrible! Idk if she just didn't know my face or if this kind of 'american style' makeup just doesn't suit me... But it was summer and my pale arms were out, but she made my face like 5 shades too dark and contoured it weirdly (she is one of the most popular make up artists from my country).

Lip balm is great. My lips get dry easily so it really helps.

Well certain styles of makeup fit different face shapes better. So maybe that kind of style fits certain people but not you.

Quote from keaji

Right, same!

True, not every kind of makeup style fits everyone...

I think minimal makeup fits me the best.

Also I think it's crucial if you put foundation on, that it matches your skintone and I feel it was the makeup artist aesthetics to make me look tanned, since I'm too pale?(this is what looked the most off) Paleness is not admirable where I'm from, but I'm just embracing it at this point, while other people think I should tan a bit I guess.

I'm sure you look great just the way you are. I don't get some countries when it comes to what skin color is prettiest. My skin is naturally pale too and I don't plan to tan it. I just kind of stopped worrying about my beauty so much you know.
