Putting make up while on the Bus

I’ve tried putting make-up while on a cab or in the car. This happens when I’m super in a hurry and can’t afford to be late. This usually occurs when I was still studying. ? Very rare now that I’m working. When I graduated, I made a promise that if I get late from work – there’ll be a punishment. Procrastination was my problem when I was still in school. Anyway, it’s sometimes funny doing the make up while on the road. I actually mastered it, putting my concealer evenly, other stuff without smudges and not too much powder.

i also experienced that. its annoying for me but i understand her. maybe she's late for work that's why she had to do it on the bus. if that's the case maybe she'll wake up early since putting make-up will cost much time. and ladies must also know when to put and what place is appropriate for putting make up.

Yes, I have seen a woman put on her makeup before on the bus. It was a good thing I wasn't sitting next to her. But I can understand why you would find it annoying. I would be afraid of injuring myself with the makeup if the bus bumped into something. I have also seen female drivers put on makeup when they are stopped at a red light. I just think its dangerous. I think women should take a little extra time and put on their makeup before they leave their homes to go somewhere.

To tell you the truth I don't understand why do people feel annoyed by that. People doing their makeup in the public transport aren't bothering anyone. They're not being noisy, they're not dirtying anyone else's clothes with their makeup, they're not being violent towards anyone... just painting in their faces. I usually don't wear makeup, but I see people doing that in the train everydays and it's ok with me. Even if it was 7-10 minutes, some people just don't really have the time at their homes, or they have a family that won't let them alone for those 10 minutes they need to do their makeup.

hello.. i put on make-up when i go to work (a must for my kind of work) but i have a thing about when and where to put make-up. For me, putting on makeup and even brushing my hair is personal and i don't like doing it in public. I don't even like putting it when someone's watching me. I have also experienced what you have experienced, with women who put make-ups on their way to wherever they are, and i'd say it's a breach of proper etiquette. When you're a proper lady, you just don't put your make-up just anywhere, with other people watching or maybe even ogling at you. I am a busy, single mother of three kids and i say i am always in the run when going to work, but i either put on make-up at the house before going to work or in the lady's powder room at the office, or put none at all if i don't have the time.

I saw a lot of women dong that even inside jeepneys. I was really amazed how they can do it!. The most difficult part I guess was applying mascara and eyeliner, LOL!

I can't do the makeup in the bus. It is in a hurry and I am afraid I can't even have a seat. Sometimes the bus will be crowded since everybody goes to work. I prefer to wake up earlier and do my makeup at home. It is much more comfortable and I don't like doing it in the bus to suffer the weird eyes from other passengers. I love China

I have to show gratitude to women who could put on their makeup in a moving vehicle. I was never good at doing this myself. My makeup would be everywhere except where i wanted it to be. i would have to put my makeup on at home.

I gone through the first page of the responses for this question and didn't realize how many people might have gotten annoyed or weirded out about this. LOL! Because I myself have done that number of times when I'm getting late. I usually get up late and have to rush around the house getting ready for work. So sometimes I leave the house with the basics: wearing clothes and my hair is properly combed. Then I put on my makeup in the FX (public utility AUV's here in the Philippines). Believe me, I also think it's pretty embarrassing to be doing something else in an FX or any public vehicle other than sitting down and waiting to be let off in your destination. So I put on my make up when I'm not sitting next to anyone. I want to make sure that when I get off the FX, I look "acceptable" for myself. If I get on the FX and it's pretty crowded, I choose to wait till I get to the office and put my makeup in the bathroom. At least there's a big mirror and proper lighting. I still don't think it's cool to have to put on make up in a place where a lot of people can see. I think it's rather embarrassing. I could put up with just one person seeing, or two people seeing. After all, I'm not going to see that person again. But I wouldn't really mind if someone beside me was putting on her make up. After all, I do it too!

wow! i say i am amazed with this kind of person. esp when they apply eye liner. they are pro. i must admit that there are times i also get annoyed. esp when they seem to own a huge space.

I have also seen women riding on a jeepney putting their make-up on. I think it became their habit, ignoring the people looking at them. They usually caught our attention because they kind of annoying. Just imagine if the bus or a passenger jeep encountered an accident while she's doing that thing, she might had put her lipstick on her nose ^_^

I have nothing against it too, but I can pretty see why you are annoyed. There is what we call a proper etiquette in putting on make up too. As what was already mentioned, there's a proper place for doing anything like putting make up as such. Putting on make up should not be done anywhere we like. It should be done in a powder room. I guess a lot of women are not observing this proper etiquette because they just don't see anything wrong with what they're doing. I hope we should try and observe this so as not to annoy other people. I also get irritated by people retouching in front of the dining table in a restaurant. They should excused themselves and go to the powder room, but they aren't sensitive about this and other people's feelings.

yes,i do..I saw a lady going to her office probably,while the jeepney is going to our route,she again did the same thing as you mentioned here.Like you,i have nothing against with what they do because its there right but somehow,i think they/she should do it in a proper place like before going to work perhaps or at the office(powder room)its really not good to do all those stuff where too many people can see you..too bad!

I have seen some as well. It just felt the same as you. There is nothing wrong but just annoying. It just show that the person doesn't really know the proper etiquette or maybe she doesn't care. Moreover, if the person do it just because of she late at work again it shows that she is not ready for her working day since the beginning.
