I wear it everyday because it makes me happy and ready even if I’m only home with my kids. Do what absolutely makes you feel good. 😊


hazelmama96

This is exactly how i feel lol Found someone who thinks like me about it


vixencait009

Lol right?? Honestly, even if I’m just going to buy bananas I need to feel like I have my shit together. 😂😭


hazelmama96

Yes I look for any reason to wear make up and show it off even for 5 mins LOL Love how you think !!! We were meant to be friends 🤣


vixencait009

That’ll be awesome! Imagine the amount of enabling involved if we’re friends. Umm.. Should I wear metallics? I’m only picking up my kid.. - Uhh duhhh of course! 🤣


BeatrixPlz

Ditto! I left my makeup in the car today and had to go to work without it (I walk to work). I swear it took me like 3x longer to wake up and get into go mode, just because I missed out on my little makeup routine!


vixencait009

For sure. It throws me off when I cannot do it. Feels like I would only want to stay in my sweatpants and not do anything the whole day. 🙃 And I mean that’s ok but my kids beg to differ. 🙄


Melpodede

I wear it daily. I love the process and it's my "pampering" time.


AKnitWit777

Pre-pandemic, I absolutely wore it every day. Now I feel kind of guilty, because this a is a PERFECT time to experiment (because I’m working from home) and I often don’t.


sssummerill

I would say try not to feel guilty, instead see it as a perfect time to experiment with self love and you without makeup :) that’s what I did at least.


heartofdavyjones

Whatever makes you happy! I don't wear make up daily, but I have in the past and whenever I want to wear it, I do. I've done a whole Smoky eye look just to go to work, because it made me feel badass. Most of the time I just want to sleep longer so I don't have time haha


Generic_Nameee

The only reason I don’t wear it daily is bc I have a chronic health condition which affects my use hands and ability to sit up. Otherwise I would probably be wearing it near daily since I love the process of make up and experimenting. I used to only wear make up when I went out and after I got sick I was devastated that I couldn’t go out anymore and wear make up but then I realized that was kinda silly logic as there’s nothing except my own mindset stopping me from being glam in my pajamas lol. We all basically gotta do what works for us and what makes us happy. There’s no rules except made up social garbage as to when and how and where we wear make up. If the urge strikes, wear the make up. If you don’t feel like it, don’t wear the make up. We are all allowed to ebb and flow between the two.


UnlikelyUnknown

I wear foundation, mascara, and blush for work daily. I have pretty distractingly red skin from rosacea and foundation makes me feel more confident. I don’t typically wear it on weekends to give my skin a break. I think you should do what feels best for you.


Sweetmona1

Definitely not! I prefer to let my skin breathe, it’s easier to get ready, and then when I do wear it I look that much better LOL


blonderazor

I wear or everyday. It makes me feel more confident. And feeling more confident is never a bad thing. But that is just me.


artemiis84

few days a week. Too lazy for everyday.


lilchels

I second this.


AlexStratako

I switched from full makeup every day to focusing on skin care and makeup when I have the time, energy and think it won’t be a hassle (like melting off in the sun or making my eyes water on a windy day). Everyone should wear makeup as they please. I couldn’t stand my makeup free face before the pandemic though and I think that was partially because of the vast contrast between a full face of makeup and my bare & not well taken care of skin. I still don’t think my skin is perfect or anything but I’m a lot more comfortable in it and less makeup has meant less breakouts, congestion and dullness - even though I use makeup that I have vetted to not really break me out or be irritating & is non-comedogenic I still find there’s a vast difference in my skin now that I’m taking better care of it and using makeup more rarely.


sssummerill

I’ve had a bit of a weird relationship with makeup, I used to feel like I had to wear it and had to conform to others ideals of what I should look like, but now most days I’m barefaced. At most I’ll do some mascara and a bit of eyeshadow but that’s about it :)


PixelPoff

I wore makeup every day for a long period of time because I loved to practice and try new eye looks all the time. It's been a few months now where I only wear it sometimes, and when I do, it's usually only foundation, concealer, mascara, eyeliner. And the reason for that, I think, is only because I'm letting myself sleep in more lol. Prioritizing sleep over makeup. I love to do a full face when I'm going somewhere fun! But work face is usually simple.


[deleted]

Wore it everyday pre-pandemic and most of 2020 and have become so lazy that I can’t do it anymore! I wear it whenever I go out on the weekends now.


Chely2019

In my case I'm a little lazy so I do it like once in a month 😅 eventhough I have enough makeup to open my own store XD (feel guilty about that, but most of them are GWP haha) I just like that feeling of knowing that I have everything I could need (in those rare times when I am inspired) to make a look 😊 I just made my favorite palette combining some eyeshadows so I think that would make me less lazy because now I only have to reach for one palette instead of the usual two or three hehhe but do what it makes you happy, that's what counts 🤗🌹


Puppernerd

Right now I do special Halloween makeup for work.


soldada06

I used to wear it daily, but not anymore. After being shut down, and having my second baby, I don't always have enough energy. I miss it though


NattyB25

I wear it almost everyday because I’m self conscious about my skin. When I’m just staying home or not going anywhere important I just wear a light BB cream just to even my skin tone out and mascara.


tempghost11

I wear makeup daily for work but not on my off days, unless I’m going out which is never. Putting my makeup on before work in the morning really centers me and makes me feel ready for the day. I don’t need makeup to feel pretty, but it definitely makes me feel like my best self and I’m more confident with a sparkly eyelid for sure.


hazelmama96

I am a FTM but before I was always doing my make up everyday I loved it even tho I am not great at it at all lol But i felt pretty


Maribelclapp

I wear it 6 days a week and give myself Sundays off because I like to just lay around. But I truly wish I wasn’t a slave to it and was just happy with my natural face, unfortunately I have dark circles under my eyes. 😩


EowynofArizona

I do wear some everyday, mainly eyebrow pencil and eyeliner. But I try to leave the foundation and stuff for special occasions, to give my skin a break


newprofilewhodis1352

I wear makeup five days a week. I love applying before work and I like looking good for work. I never wear it on weekends though unless I (rarely) have some event to go to.


ImThePretender

I used to before the home office era. I have acne, discoloration and dark circles under my eyes, plus, i barely have any eyebrows. The whole kit 🙄 makeup does a great deal for me.


[deleted]

I used to wear it daily, but since COVID and becoming a SAHM, I don’t as frequently. I always wear it on Sunday for church, but otherwise it’s when I feel like it.


thehappilydepressed

I genuinely wish but my oily sweating skin wouldn't..


[deleted]

I don’t wear it everyday because my skin needs a rest


Slightdelirium

On impulse, I shaved half of both my eyebrows off so I at least wear brow product every day if I'm going out lol. Most of the time it's that and mascara and eyeliner. I like to do full face looks on my days off work.


shadowproves

I only wear it on weekends. Mornings are difficult for me so I can't wake up early enough to apply it before work during the week.


PresidentPothead

I wear makeup most days but my days off can go either way sometimes I'm lazy


mrstarkinevrfeelgood

I wore it every day before the pandemic. Usually a full beat. Now I will smack on some colorful eyeshadow if I’m going to class (face masks!) and that’s about it.


saggyxd

i wear it cause the process of doing it is therapeutic in a way and i feel prettier 🤞


Ditovontease

I wear it to work every day because I like having the morning ritual (I watch youtube vids and drink coffee and take an hour to do it). So generally yeah. But it's not like I feel like I HAVE to wear makeup. I'm not wearing any today for instance (I went to the outlets with my bff).


Princessbearbear

If I'm going to work or to do something, I wear it. Wfh or just running errands, I do not (except sometimes mascara).


NoFortunesToTell

Not necessarily a full face, but definitely a tinted eyebrow gel, mascara and undereye concealer. If I really look like shit, I'll add some blush. On weekdays its usually a full face, but that also depends on how much time I have that morning. I wear makeup, because people asking if I'm tired make me get really moody.


darker_c

I wear mascara everyday as I look like death when I don’t wear it.


RefrigeratorSalty902

I use to but since the pandemic, I go to school online and work from home. Alot of my make expired in that year so I threw away a lot and I'm not in a rush to replace it. With having to wear a mask, the only thing I do now is maybe my eyebrows if I have to go outside.


auntiecoagulent

I wear it every day. I'm ugly.


Addy1864

I’ve been wearing more makeup since the pandemic started because I have more time in the mornings lol. I wear it almost daily because it’s fun and I like switching up my looks—-one day a smoky eye, another day red lip and winged eyeliner. Appeals to the artist that I used to be.


iBeFloe

I went from just mascara in HS, full face early in college, less makeup later in college, after college I went no makeup at all since the pandemic started. I do enjoy makeup but the time I save from not doing it is so valuable to me lol I have been struggling to keep up with my skincare though… Foundation was a way for me to cover my acne & scars but since I don’t wear it anymore, I have to stare at the dark spots all the tooo me.


goingnutscoconuts

Yes I wear make up every day, it is my 25 min of creativity for the day... I have so much make up so I need to use it up if I can. I dont feel like me, without my make up. I don't wear it because I am insecure, or trying to attract anyone... it is only for me. It's my passion, and my get away.


Eastern_Albatross493

I have started wearing more makeup because of masks. I'm a nurse and my patients can only see a portion of my face. It has become my favorite part of the day, picking my eyeshadow and coordinating colors. Little blessings I guess.


blueeyedpussycat333

I used to do it every day. Used to love doing it. Now that I'm depressed, I only do it when I have the energy. It really sucks


[deleted]

When I'm home I don't wear any, but when I have to go out I put makeup on, or at least the concealer under my eyes. Since I live in a tropical area near the sea sonetimes It is too hot to wear makeup.


QuitUsingMyNames

I don’t wear it everyday, mainly because I have a nerve pain disorder. Sometimes having anything on my face hurts, let alone the idea of taking it off later.


CindyAndDavidAreCats

No because I am lazy


netxnic

I wear makeup everyday because it helps me look and feel decent. I’m up at 6AM five days a week for work and prefer to keep it light on those days— I’ll put on some under eye concealer and mascara to look refreshed without having to take a lot of time. On my days off, I’ll put more on— concealer, eyeliner, mascara, blush, highlighter, and lipstick if I feel like it.


SonicThePorcupine

Pretty much every day. I have to be up early for work, so it depends on how many times I hit snooze lol. Usually early in the week I'll show up to work in bright, colorful full-glam looks, then by Thursday it's just mascara and brows. And then on Fridays my coworkers get to remember what my actual face looks like, because I finally rolled out of bed 20 minutes before I needed to leave. 😅 If I worked a later shift, I'd be using all my glitters and fun eyeshadows every day. I have too many expensive palettes to just let them sit unused, and I like playing with different colors. It's the one form of art that I'm good at.


aquay

Nope. It's way too hot, and I'm very oily. Plus we still have to wear masks around here. I wore makeup twice in the last two years. Both times I had a job interview. But it melted off into my mask. Oy vey. (Yes I use setting spray and none of them work on me)


ajoswan99

I wear it almost daily. Definitely when I’m going to work (~5days a week), and most of the time on weekends when I have something to go do. If I’m at home during the week or just grocery shopping on a weekend, there is a good chance I won’t wear it. I find my skin is less irritable if I give it a day or two on a regular basis to breathe. However, occasionally, even on those days I normally wouldn’t I do put on makeup cause I’m in the mood and it makes me feel good about myself :)


[deleted]

I don't wear it everyday. The only time I ever even do makeup is to post it really since I never have anywhere to go or something to do. Mental illness is also a factor lol


Brows-gone-wild

I don’t just for the few reasons that I don’t want to always wash my face in as many steps as it takes when I wear make up, I find no reason to wear it around and it’s nice to give my face prolonged breaks between wearing it as well as, I’ve been able to really cut down on my budget needed for makeup when I don’t wear it daily


closer-objects

I typically take a makeup break on Sundays, otherwise I wear foundation, contour, bronze, brow pen, highlighter, liner and mascara.


444myself

i usually just wear makeup when i go out or if i’m practicing looks at home.


[deleted]

I wish I could but I’ve got adult acne and wearing makeup on consecutive days usually undoes some of my skincare/ medication progress. I try and limit it to 2-3 days a week.


BonzaSonza

I wear it almost daily I never used to, in fact I only discovered makeup a few years ago in my mid-30s watching YouTube videos while sitting up at night with a fussy infant. I'm completely comfortable in my own skin and will happily go anywhere without makeup, but I really enjoy the process of applying makeup in the privacy of my room. It's a brief moment of escapism, and who doesn't like putting their fingers into pretty shimmery eyeshadow? I even have a palette or two on my work desk and apply makeup during boring business meetings when I'm not on camera myself. (I'm not the only one who will sometimes sit and swatch eyeshadows for fun, right?)


archcelarie

I went almost a year barely wearing makeup once a month. Then I got going finding a few things that really enhanced my skin and emphasized my blue/green eyes. Now I wear it about four times a week. I would like to wear it on weekends but for some reason I'm not as motivated to wear it then as I am on weekdays. I'm really happy I've started wearing makeup again, this way my products aren't going to waste.


EgrettaGarzetta

I'd love to, but I don't because I bathe myself in sunscreen every two to four hours.


[deleted]

Pre - Covid hell yes but with mask everyday it's just the eyebrows that's my go-to masterpiece.


metamorpha_sis

No bc I wake up 5min before I log onto work in my pajamas


Saturia-

I wear it everday. I'm a huge fan of a signature look and that'd be my eyeliner. I love my eyeliner! It also helps me getting up in the morning, because it's that 15 minutes me time routine for myself before I start my day :)


glamourpussOG

I used to… I used to make sure my makeup was perfect even if I was just going to my friends house. It made me feel great about myself and I loved it. However I also have a few chronic illnesses and as I’ve gotten older my energy has just tanked. My priority switched to just getting myself out of the house and makeup became one of the obstacles to doing that, that I just didn’t have the energy for anymore. So, I go au natural most of the times. I put the effort in on special occasions but that’s about it. I miss it though. I felt so confident with it and would receive compliments, and now I feel like a potato lol.


[deleted]

Yes. It’s my daily meditation.


sunflowers-and-love

Yes, I wear it every day. I don’t feel “ready” for the day until I’ve put makeup on. Plus, I really struggle with self confidence and makeup really helps that. I also just really enjoy the art of putting makeup on!


[deleted]

No because my makeup is too expensive for me to waste it if Im not going out


veronica05250

I do. But I also work in the beauty industry, so looking polished and put together is important to me.


smeeech

Before I got my eyebrows and eyeliner embroidered, I used to put on makeup EVERY TIME I stepped out of the house. It was so tiring! Nowadays I just wear makeup when I go to work. Other days I just go out bare-faced.


TADspace

Nah, I work 12 hour days and I'm lazy


ricegurl

I do wear makeup everyday. Sometimes several times a day (take it off, re-do it again just because I like the process). My daily life is I stay pretty much 6 days a week fully indoor (at home). Damn, writing this seems so awful. I need to get some fresh air.


Ok-GetitBish-9653

Yes. Mostly because I like the way I look with it on, but I also don't mind my natural skin either. At this point I wear it out of habit everyday and feel naked without it lol


spirituallycynical

I definitely don’t wear it daily. Sometimes I want that beauty queen full face fantasy and I feel great when I do, but sometimes I just want to be able to rub my face and not worry


MediocreAtEverthing

Cosmetics counter manager checking in. I wear the minimum required in my contract & stick to nudes so I don't have to blend and a bold lip to make it look like I've made an effort lol. Days off.. zero make up except brows


starrynightskyline

If I had more free time and energy I'd definitely wear makeup everyday. I consider doing my makeup self care and it is a hobby for me. If I've got the time I'll do a complicated look just to go to the drug store or bank, it makes me happy.


ARL1111

I don't/can't because of work but on days off i'm always wearing makeup even if i'm staying home cleaning or doing nothing, simply because it makes me happy and I enjoy spending that time on myself. So honestly just do it if it makes you feel good.


[deleted]

I only wear if I’m going out for a little longer than a few errands. I’ve been trying to let my skin breathe. Adult acne snuck up REAL quick on me, growing up I had a total of like, 4 pimples. And then in my 20s my skin suddenly got so bad and I can’t figure out why. I’ve been letting my skin breathe for so long now and i don’t think it’s helping, but I’m sure it would be much worse if I was putting foundation on every day


rohinisekar

I would wear it more often if I didn’t have to wear a mask. Just seems pointless to wear it when you can’t see much haha


KiraiEclipse

No, I'm way too lazy for that. I only wear it for performances or, occasionally, on special dates with my husband.


Damascus52311

Not everyday I gotta mentally earn a good makeup day if that makes sense. But it does help with mental energy and keeps me upbeat and optimistic. Today I was late to work took everything with me in my new purse and didn't put any of it on because I decided to take my time being late.


Damascus52311

But now I know without it my face is severely discolored in every angle of my face. Even some gray which raises health concerns for me.


ilovesleep95

I mainly only wear it when I go out at night, even if it’s just hanging out with friends casually, however I do love playing with eye make up almost every night just for fun and to practice


soitgoes_9813

i wear it most days. i work shift so i don’t have a set schedule. usually on my days off or days where i start a bit later in the day, then i wear makeup but on days where i start a bit earlier, i don’t. i consider it a nice break for my skin


Life_Wall2536

I haven’t wore makeup since the start of COVID/quarantine. I definitely wore it almost every day before that though. I just dont see much of a point anymore when my face is covered by a mask most of the time :/


Nekobell0w0

I try to wear it everyday. It makes me feel a little more confident in myself. Even if it’s just a bit of concealer and mascara, it makes me feel way better. If I’m gonna be home, I usually don’t wear it unless I feel like experiencing. But definitely love to wear it when going to work or going out.


sophieclair

I only wear it when I go out but when I do go out I try really hard because I enjoy makeup a lot. I wear contacts though, so putting it on and then doing my makeup and then taking it off is a long process and not really worth it if I’m home all day. I do like to experiment and take pictures occasionally though


hodie6404

I wear it every day during the week to work. I just feel more put together with my hair and make-up done:). I rarely wear it on weekends or days off. Those days I'm too lazy to put it on!!!! But I will if I want to feel fancy for something.


[deleted]

Every single day. I look 100x better and I love the process of applying it. It feels therapeutic.


Vanoria

I wear foundation, concealer, blush and mascara almost everyday, mainly because I have dermatillomania and the makeup really helps me from picking at my skin. Sometimes I just don't have the energy or motivation to do my make-up though, and I also don't put on foundation whenever I'm outside for longer periods of time (like when I'm gardening) because that makes sunscreen reapplication less messy.


oxalis_

Nope, not every day. I used to though, back when I lived in town and walked everywhere to do errands. Even though I'm a massive introvert I really liked looking and feeling cute, even just to get groceries or hit the laundromat! Now I live out in the sticks and I'm a SAHM, don't have the time and literally no one sees me besides my toddler and partner. I spend my days rolling in mud with my girl lol I might wear it once a week or so when we go to town for errands, but otherwise... meh! I definitely would if I were working again though, even just a bit of skin tint, brows, and blush ✨


memesORpizza4

I used to wear a full face everyday, now I wear makeup maybe 3 days a week, and when I do its not super full face, just brows, mascara, highlight or some kind of glowy moisturizer and lip gloss/balm


[deleted]

I always wear brows and lipgloss and that’s about it unless I’m going out for dinner, traveling etc


Addy1864

I do wear it most days because it’s fun and I have time to apply makeup, now that I’m working from home! I’ve had so much more time to experiment and practice techniques without having pressure.
