So I'm 16 and I'm not sure if i wear too much make up, What do you lot think?
So every day i wear: primer, Foundation, concealer, pencil eye liner, mascara, lip balm. My skin is generally good i don't get spots or anything I just conscious of a few moles which I'd prefer to keep them less visible.

Doesn't sound like too much to me. At 16 (I'm going to be 20 this month) I was going for the full-on gothic/emo look just to go to school! Oh, and moles are cute imo. :3

[taylorg292]

I wear:
Foundation + BB Cream mixed
Colour Corrector
Fill in my eyebrows + set with clear mascara
Liquid Eyeliner
Tiny bit of eyeshadow in crease + corners to make eyes look bigger
Black eyeliner pencil
Mascara
Blusher
Powder
Lipbalm/Lipstick

Sounds like quite a lot but I genuinely enjoy applying my make up and experimenting with it. I do go out without make up on to run errands or walk my dogs but would no way go without it to meet friends/to work/socialise.

[The Doggfather]

NONE

I don't really have a specific time for wearing a lot of make and it mostly depends on what i feel like, rather than actually being appropriate for the specific situation (I'm just socially akward like that haha) I might wear a full face around the house and go out for a meal bare faced.

Usually I would consider 'everyday make up' to consist of:
tinted moisturiser
blusher
mascara
eyebrow pencil (ghostly pale skin and blonde hair - this would be my desert island make up, draws attention to the eyes and frames the face )
lip balm

I would add a nice black slick of eyeliner or a bright lipstick if I was going for 'nice make up'.

However I am sometimes partial to those tacky gem-encrusted fake eyelashes for suitably tacky clubs




HEY! Why was I negged for this? I didn't know that my personal make up choice was so offensive...

me too!

[Bohedie]

I'll always do my eyes with liquid eyeliner, eyeshadow and mascara and do my eyebrows and probably wear a lipstick

however foundation, bronzer and blusher clogs my pores whilst drying my skin so I generally leave it

[bammzie]

Foundation
Blush
White Eyeliner
Black Eyeliner
Eyeshadow (minimal, in the crease and inner corner.)
Mascara

Although, some days I go in with mascara and nothing else.

[bellebrunette]

I only wear mascara on my upper lashes

[hannaaahlima]

a little bit of face powder
eyeliner
mascara
blush
lipstick

[Soph(:]

I don't wear foundation unless I'm going to a party or something I wear heavy eye make up though

[sezzasays]

None at all

[Frey]

I like a bit of liner, blush, powder and lip balm. If it's a special occasion then maybe smokey eyes or some red lippy

Having said that, I can happily go out the house with no make up. I do it to make what I see as pretty, rather than feeling I HAVE to do it to look 'acceptable' or 'sexy'.

I would also advise eating well, not too much sun, no smoking and not too much drinking and you won't really need much makeup at all!

[Petro_99]

sometimes red lippy! i love red!

but daily nothing...

what i have noticed though is that if you wear foundation everyday your skin starts to become really dehydrated,and so then you have the "need" to wear foundation to cover it up.

natural is the best way forward!

[obsessedfreak95]

primer (sometimes)
tinted moisturiser
concealer
eye roll-on thing
loose powder
MAC highlighter powder
mascara
lipstick
lip balm


maybe it's a little much, but it looks natural and my school is filled with such beautiful girls...

[OddThings]

lipbalm,tinted moisturizer(because it's summer,otherwise foundation the rest of the year),very occasionally mascara but my eyes always end up itching so not as often.I've tried lipstick but I've always felt strange wearing it somehow.

[Amaranthina]

Nothing mostly, just moisturiser and sunscreen. I tend to curl my eyelashes the night before so when I wake up, they're ever so slightly curled already. Concealer sometimes to cover up a night of no sleep and if I really need to look awake, some mascara and eyeliner. I have fairly good skin and quite red cheeks and lips, so colour isn't necessary.
Going out; I go the distance. Foundation, bronzer for contouring, concealer, eye primer, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, blush, highlighter and lipgloss. Sounds like a ton, but I use neutral colours anyway, so it still looks fairly natural.

Usual day, I do my makeup to match my style, so I have a bit of a pinup retro look going on. In order:

Primer
THE FACE SHOP bb cream (sparingly, I love to show my freckles!)
Concealer if needed
Maybe blush, idk, i'm not a huge fan
Powder
Lots of nude, browns, golds, and white/cream eyeshadows
Lots of black liquid liner
Pencil for the waterline
Mascara

If I'm not going to school, I'll sometimes add a bit of lipstick to give it a bit of retro glam :3

[Em_Huong]

Now that the weather is really warm I wear sun block, false eye lashes, tinted moisturiser and a bit of blush.

[WhyMe]

Moisturiser (with SPF), powder foundation (I never use liquid, it makes me break out), eye kohl, mascara, lipgloss/lipstick.

For an occasion, I'll add primer, blusher, and eyeshadow.

[ArcaneAnna]

Dependent on the mood and time.

If I wake up early I can spend a lot of time on the eyes (no foundation for me).

Wake up late then obvs nothing.
