Do you wear make-up?I do use make-up but very light make-up at that. I always want to look my best when in my class. I do not retouch that often compared to how most of my students do. Yeah, they wear better make-up than I do and they retouch very often as I see most of them in the powder room in between their classes. I only retouch after I have my lunch before I go to my next class.
How about for those of you who wear make-up? How often do you retouch?

hi dolce_vita,
I don't wear make-up everyday at work. I like to be all natural with, very light powder and simple lipstick or lip balm will do. If I happen to wear a foundation and eye make-up I usually retouch it every break time.. I use light powder because my face got oily and I make sure to have face tissue with me to retouch my face. Happy Lotting!

I also just wear light powder, plus a good shade of eye make-up. Because I spend most of my working hours talking, I need a good lipstick that stays for hours. It tends to get erased though especially after lunch.

I don't really do much re-touching. Mostly because if I am at work I am too busy to worry about my makeup. I wear makeup that stays put so I don't really have too many problems with it, if I am out somewhere special I will re-touch it if I need too just so I stay looking my best.

Hi Dole,
I only re-touch my make-up once. During the entire day i just leave it as is,after lunch i just do my lipstick. Before going home, that's the time for me to do my make re-touch. I want to still look fresh even at the end of the day. I want my kids to see me still looking good and beautiful. Tired and beautiful mama!LOL.

you're right especially my youngest, they want mama to always look pretty. Of course it's also a good feel to be home in our best self still. a sweet hug from my family will ease the feeling of being tired and will of course even make me feel more beautiful!

I retouch my make-up after eating and If I notice that my make-up is gone so that I could look fresh again. But I don't use make-up regularly so whenever I'm retouching, I'm just putting powder on my face.

I usually don't wear too much make up, and then I never retouch it. I don't like to be the girl in the bathroom who is painting her entire face on! That's always so annoying! So no, I don't retouch at all. I don't really wear enough make up to need to, though.

I don't wear makeup at all, and the reason is so I don't have to keep re-touching it. it takes too much maintainance. it's nuts!! Besides, I look good just the way i am. I should not have to wear makeup. A lot of people would look great just the way they are, if only they would remove all of the paint from their faces.

I wear make-up but not that too much. I only have facepowder, blush-on, lipstick, lipgloss, and sometimes eyeshadow. I always wanted to look natural even on a make-up. I only retouch when it's needed like when my make-up is already gone.

I usually don't use make up at work. So, I would never retouch it. However, I will make up for attending such wedding dinner or party then I do very light make up or retouch when necessary. Actually, I like to be all natural with a simple lipstick or lipbalm will do.

I do not really retouch. I try to buy good quality products instead, that do not need retouching, and apply it properly the first time. I just usually do not have time for retouching, so this is why I have decided to go down this route instead...

Hello Dolce
I don't wear make-ups. I am just not comfortable wearing make-ups, not even talk powder as if I did, pimples start to appear on my checks, I don't know why. I put lip balm when the temperature gets too cold but that is, nothing else. I even don't like colognes, as it makes me dizzy. Hehehe
And another reason is whenever I go out I don't want to bring any extra baggage, like bringing a shoulder bag or a pouch. When you wear make-up, you need to bring your make-up kit when you're at work, it means you need to bring a shoulder bag or a pouch so you can retouch.
But there was a time I did, that is during the internship period when I was in college. Well as a teacher, you need to look good to your student, and we are required to apply make-ups. So I did, but I usually don't make any retouch, I even forgot to erase it before going to bed.

Good day to you Dolce_Vita78,
I used to retouch my make-up after a half days work in the office, I do it especially after when I had my noon break. However, if I feel, my face becomes oily, I will just put a little face powder on my face in between of the first - four hours in the morning. Then I will just repeat it again after the noon break together with the other make-up.

Oh,I almost did not make-up, make-up seems to be a fermale friend of the patent.Of course,as far as I know ,there are a considerable number of female friends pursuit of natural beauty,but also almost no make-up; but modification is needed, the purpose is to make themselves more spiritual,more beautiful.
