    Make-up vs No Make-up

    Just wondering if I am the only one to lazy to put make-up on!! Not that I don't have time, just to lazy to slap something om my face. I am back at work for two months now and swore that I would put make-up on each morning, but has yet to do anything of the sorts. Love my lip-balm!!

    I have been using a fake tan for my face instead of using foundation as it saves time in the morning.
    I too love my lip gloss, I have just got a really nice Revlon one that looks great so I am sticking with that.
    But like most Mum's unless I have to get dolled up I just go with the lip gloss.

    Nope, I never wear make up.. but my reason is because I just dont like the feel of it on my face plus I like to splash water on my face and that would ruin it (i think?)

    I can't even remember how to put make up on! I actually went to put on some mascara the other night as we were going out, and I hadn't used it for so long that it had gone all gluggy!

    I worked in the corporate world in Sydney for a long time and had to wear slap for years.....it was a grind.......

    So when we mvoed to Adelaide I swore off it all for a couple of years, and felt liberated!

    Then we moved to Darwin.......zero point in wearing make up as it just used to slide off my face in the heat.

    Since having babies, I certainly didn't bother for ages.

    I now work part time and ENJOY putting my face on again! To the point that I wear a little every day.........(tinted moisterizer, lippy and mascara).

    Makes me feel a bit more gorgeous.........

    Each to their own........I reckon it is a phase that ebbs and flows..........depending on time, motivation, hormones and skin condition!

    I go through stages of wearing nothing and then making an effort. But whenever I do wear full makeup people at work think I have a job interview or something LOL!
    So most of the time I don't bother

    I don't bother, and very rarely have. I have even worked in a job where part of the workplace agreement was to wear a minimum of lipstick and mascara......bugger off I say.

    I wear make up when I go out. Nt every day and not everytime I leave the house but most of the time. I like to take that little bit of extra time on myself to make me feel good.

    I will do a full make up if I am out to dinner or the club etc.

    Nadine, thank you! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. I used to wear it just for work and nights out. Since Jack was born, I have probably worn make up twice - I don't even wear it to work anymore. And I don't miss it. I am sure it's good for my skin and think of the money we are saving!!

    So true Lucy sooooo true!

    I go through phases, I remember not leaving the house without makeup, and atm I'm going through a "lazy" phase LOL! When Paris first started school I wouldn't be seen without a bit of trans powder, some gloss & mascara... now not so much.

    During the day - nope, but if Im going out - even to the shops, I do. Having said that my routine takes about 2 minutes flat and I dont wear any foundation, just bronzing powder (my fav- always makes me feel a million bucks!) some eyeliner, eyeshadow and mascara! I always have at least 10 lipglosses in my handbag too!

    I usually wear mascara and lip gloss whenever I go out... can't remember the last time I bothered to put on any more makeup than that though!

    I need to put make up as my skin is not the best and I don't feel comfortable going out with out make up. Say that it is only a thin layer of foundation just to take away the freckles and redness and lipstick when I remember. So takes all of 2 minuties max to apply.

    i think my fav, is my tinted moisturiser, and i tint my eyebrows and eyelashes so most of the time i dont bother with mascara.... but think i need to invest in some lip glosses...

    I hate wearing make up it feels gritty on my face and I dont like much eye make up as that just feels heavy. I have been looking into bronzing powder and tinted moisturiser or sunblock but at this point I have found anything I like or that is not to expensive.

    I only now ever wear it if I have something special to go to.
