there are some woman that will put make up on the minute they get out of bed in the morning, And there are so woman who say no one not even their husband's have seen them without make up
I use to wear make up only when I was going out, I never wore make up even to the office.
Now I don't wear make up at all.
Ladies when do you wear make up and how much?
Men do you care if a woman wears make up or not?

I wear makeup if I'm going out, and someone else is there who wants to put it on me. That's pretty much it. Most of the women where I work (at a bank) wear makeup every day, but I just lack the energy and interest. I might wear colored lip gloss once in a while, but more often I just use lip balm instead.
Once in a while I kind of feel like wearing makeup, but for me it's like putting on a costume, dressing up to be someone else, not me. It can be fun once in a while, but not for every day!

I only wear makeup whenever I get ready to go somewhere, like to the store and to church. I have problems with spots or blemish so I try to cover those up. I don't use too much. I don't wear lipstick, I wear clear or shear lipgloss. I only apply foundation and concealer, sometimes I'll wear eyeshadow.

I have gone through periods of time when I did use make-up routinely, but those times never lasted for long. I have fairly sensitive skin and unless I used pricey hypoallergenic make-up I would break out. My husband has never cared for it, though he is kind when I would put some on. I do try to take more care of my skin as I age. I wear a cpap for sleeping and it does tend to dry my face badly. So I will give an un-asked for care hint. After putting on night moisturizer------- I put a very small amount [dime size glob] of DIAPER ointment, along with a little more moisturizer, mix it by rubbing hands together then applying to face [helps to heat the diaper cream a bit].

Hi winterose!
I use make up only when going to school, when I attend special occasions, as long as it means I'll be out of the house, I apply make up but when I'm just at home I let my face "rest". Not even a powder is applied to my face when I am at home.
I have my own make up kit and I do my own make up. Usually it costs, around 2,500 pesos.

I used to be one of those who had to put make-up on the moment I woke up. Now that I am a mom of 4 and a wife I really dont have the time nor do I care about it much any more. The only time you will catch me wearing make-up is if I am getting to go out and that dosnt happen very often.

Hi winterose I only normally wear lipstick, and if I am going out and want to look nice I will wear a bit of mascara. but I never wear face make up. I can still see in my mind a lot of old ladies that wear make up and put it on with a pallet knife. and they look like clowns. I have never worn face make up for that very reason, as well do you remember when women just used makeup on their faces and it looked like a mask because they left off at the jaw line . geesh Robin

Being a man I have to answer the second question. No madam, I don't mind if a woman wears make up or not. However excessive make up would be frustrating. In my opinion make up should be to compensate slight shortfalls in the finishing of a face. I don't know if this idea of mine is acceptable to ladies in general.
thank you, winterose.

I usually wear some make up when I go out but it's really very little.
Basically, all I'd do is to apply some powder to my skin, no foundation or concealer, then I'd colour my brows a little so as to define them a little more. Lastly, I'd apply some coloured lip gloss. Then I'm ready to go anywhere! :)
I don't apply a lot of make up because that would be like hiding myself behind a mask. I prefer to let people see the real me even though I don't look perfect but that's ok.

I have never been the type to wear makeup much, winterose. I think it is just important to some women, and not others. I used to wear it for special occasions, but since I'm older I don't bother with it at all. I know some women who won't face anyone 'til they have their makeup on. I say, what you see is what you get,lol. I have asked men this question over the years and found that most don't really care. Also, a person's religious upbringing can play into it. Some religions don't approve of it.

I don't wear much make-up at all. Not even lippie. I will make the effort if we are going out somewhere nice or even maybe a job interview but that's about it. I am too lazy to apply makeup every day and my skin doesn't like makeup anyway.

I used to wear the whole thing: foundation, eye liner, eye shadow, lipstick, mascara. Only for work or going out though. Since i've met my now hubby, i've dropped the lipstick, and switched for lipgloss for a few years, but that too is over and done with. Now, i'm down to mascara, moisturizing rosacea cream ( i have a bit of rosacea on my cheeks) and finishing powder to even out my face, and that's it. And it's only for work. If we go out, like a wedding or something, i put on a bit of lipstick too.

I don't use make up.
I don't personally care aslong as it's not to much, but I wouldn't say I get mardy about it. My wife doesn't wear it, so we're fine about this thing.

I don't wear much makeup at all. I tend to wear it if I am towards the end of my rope (week) and my face is starting to show how weary I am...or if I am getting ready to go out somewhere special. Otherwise, not everyday, for sure.

I use minimal makeup.. Here in India, it is very very hot and sunny during summer and so I use a sunscreen lotion while going out in teh sun.
During winter I use a moisturiser.
Other than that the only thing I use is a bindi which Indian women use to apply on their forehead
