Feel free to elaborate on your answer in the comment section!
I touch up my lips too much. Whenever they are naked, I feel naked. At work, they are touched up 4-5 times. If I run home on my lunchhour, I'll swipe a little of Bare Esentuals "faux tan" or "Bare Radience" over my face, but that's all. Those lips of mune MUST look good. :)
I usually re-apply lipstick or gloss after lunch, though other lip touch ups are more likely to be balm (sometimes but not always tinted). I get really oily, so I carry some Urban Decay De-Slick and a mini Too Faced kabuki brush. I'll dust on a bit of that if I'm going somewhere after work, otherwise I don't bother.
Yes, it's been over 100 degree out here, and kind of humid. Even if I don't go out in the heat much I still need more touch ups than I do in cooler weather.
Nope, I don't because I use milk of magnesia as a primer and when I say my makeup lasts all day long... I do mean ALL DAY LONG. lol never have a looked shiny or anything! I recommend buying it because it works wonders. I love it.
I touch up my lipstick and also blot papers for the shine (the bane of my oily skin.) A light dusting of blush sets it nicely.
I find that the only makeup i worry about during the day is my foundation and lipstick (especially during a school day) if there is a primer on my lids, my eyeshadow and liquid eyeliner are set for the day. my eyebrow powder does NOT budge (I use MAC's espresso eyeshadow to set the spiked eyebrow enhancer) but i've tried so many foundations, and though MAKE UP FOR EVER seems to work for me, i always touch up with powder at any chance. and unless i am using a lip STAIN, i always touch up my lips :)
I'm kind of a germophobe, so nope (which is why I also don't keep any in my purse) because if you touch up, you're just applying it on dirty/polluted skin and it gets back on the makeup and yeah...*shudders* I'm sure it's completely fine for other people, but me, NON!
I blot and repowder my T-Zone several times throughout the day! I seriously need to get some UD De-slick. I also reapply lipstick/lipgloss whenever needed.
If I wear makeup, then i usually only touch up my face with blotting sheets, oil blotting powder, then a powder foundation. I don't like to touch up the eyes throughout the day.
i only take the lipglass or lipstick with me. because lip products doesn't stay well at me (maybe it's because i'm constantly eating something LOL).
I only touch up my powder (I get shiny as chrome) and my lipgloss. When I put on my makeup in the morning I make sure to set everything really well because my work day is too hectic to get into fixing this and that.
I have to because of my oily skin, usually have to blot a bit, reapply lipstick/gloss etc. I don't repowder a lot though.
Because I am oily I blot/powder with these 2n1 blotting/powder papers 1-3 times a day. The only thing else I touch up is lipgloss a couple of times a day. As far as everything else, I don't want to have to carry around a bunch of products, which increases the risk of damaging/losing them, and I'm lazy lol. I JUST stared blotting/powdering this year and I have been wearing makeup for 7 years lol
It depends on what it is. Normally I will reapply lipstick/gloss, or use my mac blot powder. But usually it gets left alone.
What I usually touch up during the day is my lip makeup (gloss/lipstick), powder, and my hair. I do all my makeup before I leave and don't find it necessary to add much more during the day.
I touch up my face by blotting and applying a mattifying powder because I'm always shiny by midday. Sometimes I touch up lip color, sometimes I don't bother.
If I am wearing lipstick or lipgloss I may touch that up. Other than that, I wear various primers that do a pretty good job of making my makeup last all day.
Lipstick/gloss I touch up after eating (if I'm not at home). Blush I touch up after work or if it's faded while I'm out for the evening. I never touch up eye makeup - thankfully it stays put.
I went with other cause my touching up is normally lipstick/gloss and a few pats of Urban Decay De-slick on my shiny face. Beyond that I don't touch up anything else.
Once it's on, it's on LOL I may eventually touch up lips and powder in the afternoon if there's a special event but that's it.
I only touch up my makeup if I put it on early..then I redo a bit before I go to work (I work nights). I don't usually put on my full face until right before work, so no touch ups are needed.
I just really can't be bothered to bring makeup everywhere, and generally I don't have time to retouch anyways!
