Can you do that? I doubt if I can. I always have problems drawing eyebrow so I don't think I can do that even without a mirror. I think I can put on lip gloss without the mirror, not lipstick though because it needs to draw the lip shape. Have you ever tried this? I didn't and I don't think I can do it good! :-p

Hi mermaid...I don't think so! I would never try - I'd have everything all over my face in no time - I definitely need a mirror!

I also think it is possible for me to wear makeup like powder and comb the hair without looking in the mirror.

I generally can manage without using mirror. I usually take my hand handkerchief for cleansing my face. I will look up a mirror , if necessary in the place nearby , if it is available.

In this situation I never do that, I'm always see in the mirror if when I comb my hair and make up. In my bag,mirror is always present so this thing is important of being a woman.

I can only apply lip gloss without the mirror. I do my make-up driving in my car, or better say when on red light. I made my make-up few times without the mirror, but it was light lashes cover and lip gloss only...

I don't think it is possible for me to comb my hair without mirror. I think most people do need mirror to see themselves and adjust according to it. I think it is hard to put makeups without mirror.

Dear friend, I hardly do any makeups but I do put creams on my face to prevent from hot. I do it while looking on the mirror other simple things are usually done without mirror like making my hair better and putting some powder on face in hot seasons.

No way. I would be surprised if any woman could! I guess lip gloss is alright because it is usually only slightly tinted and so if the application is not perfect it isn't a huge deal. But everything else needs a mirror, even blusher! Maybe face powder could be applied without a mirror, but I would want to check that it looks okay after putting it on!

I can leave the house without looking at myself in the mirror. I am the type who can miss looking a mirror in a day. I am just confident about myself. I am just thankful that I am contented on how I look.

I tried once, putting lipstick without a mirror but it didn't look good. I saw my co-teacher before, she can do put lipstick without a mirror so I tried too but it didn't work on me. Anyway, I can go anywhere without looking at the mirror sometimes, though but not often.

Nope....wouldn't even try it. I have a hard enough time applying it with a mirror. Sure wouldn't even attempt to wing it without one.

When I was still single I always check myself in the mirror. I could not go to work without checking myself in the mirror. The only part of my face that I do not check is my eyebrow. I do not care whether the hair grows longer and i do not even trim them. I am not too vain because I rarely put make up. I only use them occasionally and I just put a lip gloss very thinly. When I got married I rarely use mirror. Reason is I am only at home. When I and my husband goes out of course I still check myself but not too long. I only spend about 2 to 3 seconds in the mirror now. Maybe I have no more reasons to make myself too much noticeable because the person I wanna impress with is already mine. He just loves me for who and what I am and he was attracted to me because I am the only lady he met who does not wear make up all the time. And besides I am already confident with myself so I guess mirror is just a help when I feel I need to boost my confidence a bit more.

No, Its really impossible for me to put make-up without a mirror. I imagine that putting make-up without a mirror makes me look a crazy woman or a clown heheheh! Mirror is very important for me when putting make-up so that I can make over my face and free from stains.

Yah, in putting make-up you really need a mirror,I agree on that. But in some cases like combing my hair or other things I did to myself, I didn't use it. Sometimes, I wonder if how do I look? hehehe!

it may sound crazy, but i have a knack for eyeliner and mascara. For me, it's being about to hold the creases of the eye back with the middle fingers to run the eyeliner along inner edges. I've been surprised with some quick makeup fixes i've managed without a mirror. But to reach a bombshell look, mirrors are musts!
