On a daily basis, I wear: foundation, eyeliner, brow pencil, and mascara. Sometimes, I'll wear eyeshadow, but not all the time. And sometimes, I'll wear lipstick. And yes, I experiment with different color eyeshadows sometimes too. Every once in a while, I'll go mostly makeup free and just do my eyebrows (always) and put on some foundation.

I admit, getting ready in the morning takes time, and I don't even do as much as some girls do. But to each her own if she has enough time to do it. I know how I early I need to get up to make sure my makeup looks good, and I'm assuming the girls who go all out know when they need to get up too.

When I go out like either at night or just when I really want to impress someone during the day, I'll do primer/concealer/foundation/eyeliner/mascara/eyeshadow/blush and then lipstick at night...that sounds like a lot but it really doesn't take long, I do the same thing every time so nbd. I never highlight or countour. Scratch that, I try and make my nose look smaller. If I had less dark circles I would only do my eyes and blush, but sometimes I really need to cover up an annoying pimple or I didn't get enough sleep which requires foundation/concealer

I don't really wear makeup bit when I do it is usually just foundation and mascara. But if it is more fancy I wear eyeliner and eye shadow as well. But i don't do anymore. My bf and my guy best friend don't like it when I wear makeup and prefer me not to. I try not to but sometimes it's hard but I have gotten better.

I just wear primer/foundation/concealer/bronzer on a daily basis and not when I'm at home. I couldn't be arsed putting the full works on every morning. On special ocassions I'll go for all of it but still nothing heavy, just subtle. I think a lot is ok if it gives off a natural sun kissed look :)

too much makeup on a girl looks fake...i only wear a face cream with spf 50+loose powder+kohl+mascara+blush+lipgloss/lipstick (it depends)..and if it is for a more formal occasion i'll just add eyeliner and a nice eyeshadow colour

Depends on the occasion and the girl to be honest. If some girls want to wear full makeup good for them, if others wear no makeup then good for them.   Christina Aguilera pulls off the more makeup look better then this girl   Some girls do not need as much makeup, or it does not work as well.   For the crazy colors you should not wear as much makeup because it becomes too distorted imo.

Usually most of the guys prefers if a girl doesn't LOOK like she's wearing a makeup.

If makeup is done properly & applied in appropriate colors, it accentuates your natural beauty without giving you an 'over-done' look.

Personally for me, a girl's best make up is her smile ^_^

Wow...all that must take forever! Day to day I used primer, liquid and powder foundation, concealer, light bronzer or blush and light eyeliner and mascara. If I'm going out I'll do more dramatic eyeliner, occasionally a bit of eye shadow and lip gloss. If I'm not leaving the house- I do nothing.

If I had nice skin (but unfortunately I have terrible skin), I wouldn't bother with makeup (other than maybe some mascara) on normal days. I do wonder how people have the time and money to be soooo put together EVERY day. I've literally NEVER worn all of the makeup you mentioned.

Depends on the occasion and your looks.
Some girls dont even need makeup when going to college or just talking a walk others need thrm to hide flaws.

When going to a night club there is no limit unless you look like u fell in a paint bucket.

In short look awesome

Mesonfielde · Answer

My line of makeup for what I find less attractive is zero makeup! :)
Well, technically as long as I don't see it (like mineral powder as per someone's answer on another question), it's perfectly okay, but I don't like paint related things. I think they look silly without exception, always. Personal preference, but it's how it is.

findingdreamland · Answer

I have rarely worn a full make up , maybe just a few occasions. Few times for my friends wedding and few times for night out.
Generally I wear very natural make up. I feel way more comfortable that way. When the make up makes me feel heavy, I don't prefer.

BlueEyedHipsta · Answer

I use to wear concealer, foundation, lipstick and mascara everyday to school but then I decided that it just wasn't worth it so I just wear a bit of balm and maybe concealer but now I'm at home I've only worn a full face once in the past month which was yesterday for no particular reasoning.

My boyfriend honestly hates me wearing too much makeup well any but it's lucky I like to keep it natural.

Ps-my eyebrows I do everyday no matter what

Dzindzer · Answer

I usually just use primer, mineral powder, blush, eyebrow pencil, eyeshadow, mascara and lipstick. This is for everyday and I apply it very (veeeeeryk) light (sometimes I skip powder). I am very pale so I prefer not to apply much since you can tell it easily. :)
when I go out I apply a bit more powder and more eyeshadow.

LovelySerene · Answer

I usually wear most of what you listed, but I have a skin condition which makes my skin pretty blotchy...but I usually look like what I do in my profile picture, but I usually mix it up with the eyeliner, and I don't always wear red lipstick.

I like wearing make-up, I wear it because it's fun to put on and it makes me feel feminine. I don't care what others think. Oh and btw, I also use an eyebrow pencil.

This where I draw the line on too much makeup

Angelo75 · Answer

I just LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE makeup. But maybe because of my face/hair fetish.
But nothing turns me on more than seeing a woman in full makeup.

On the other hand, I draw the line when she starts putting on things that gets glued/attached.
Like fake eyelashes... fake hair...
It has to be washable and removable.

COCOCHANEL · Answer

only for pictures and i only uses lashes, liquid eyeliner, cc cream, finishing powder (sometimes), blush and lip gloss. recently added eyeshadow to that list but i avoided it for about 12 years.

HandsomeRaj · Answer

Just as long as she can carry it off, it's never too much :)

If it doesn't enhance her looks even a little is too much ;)

But I certainly don't want to hold her face or cheeks to find my palms all caked up lol

Account · Answer

I agree with you. I only wear mascara, eye liner and lip balm. I don't think that I need to put all that. Plus, I don't have pimples or age spots to hide (for fuck's sake, I am only 22).

lumos · Answer

Apparently I've never worn a full face of makeup... I only use foundation and mascara. Most of the time I fill in my eyebrows a little too. But that's it haha.

Livi95 · Answer

I literally never wear a full face of makeup, usually just eyeliner and mascara - I don't think I'd have the time or patience to apply a full face of makeup everyday!

melissa2 · Answer

I literally wear nothing. I wake up, fix my hair and brush my teeth and I'm good.  If I do wear makeup it's to special events and it's only mascara.

rgb008 · Answer

Everyday. Unless I'm not going out haha. I've gotten pretty good at it and can put a full face on pretty quickly lol

Zephyrsue · Answer

I only do a "full face" as stage makeup for a performance. For special occasions, I wear a decent amount but more neutral colors then for stage makeup. For a regular day, not usually anything.

sherlocked · Answer

During my dance performance. Its like paint on my face -_- Full on make up and saree. Otherwise no make up (mostly because I suck at it) :P

MaskofInsanity · Answer

If I'm going out (partying, events, weddings, etc) I'll do that routine generally.  It sounds like a lot but it takes about 15 minutes lol.

Phoenix98 · Answer

Honestly I am not one who likes a lot of makeup on a girl I prefer to let the natural beauty shine after all makeup is only their to highlight said natural beauty not cover it up.
