    The only thing I have ever needed to touch up was either lipstick or lip gloss. I don’t wear foundation and I wouldn’t even bother touching up blush even if it has faded mid-way through the day (which has never happened either, lol).

  2. Roxanne says:

    I just really can’t be bothered to bring makeup everywhere, and generally I don’t have time to retouch anyways!

  3. Laurz says:

    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.

  4. 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.

  5. Corinne says:

    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.

  6. Jessi says:

    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.

  7. Rengirl says:

    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.

  8. New Ribena says:

    Only lipstick/lipgloss.

  9. Svetlana says:

    I do touch-up my lipstick/lipgloss , kohl eye pencil on my water line and my blotting powder

  10. Nic says:

    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.

  11. Vijaya says:

    I don’t touch up my eye or face makeup, with lips though, it’s a must.

  12. Hannah says:

    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.

  13. Joanne says:

    “Set it and forget it!” Reminded me of that infomercial where the guy cooked a turkey, lol.

  14. Ally_D says:

    I only touch up my lipstick or gloss, blot my face and then dust on some more powder.

  15. Blair says:

    some times depending on my mood

  16. Marina says:

    I only blot and touch up lipstick/gloss.

  17. Miranda says:

    It depends on what it is. Normally I will reapply lipstick/gloss, or use my mac blot powder. But usually it gets left alone.

  18. Yumi says:

    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.

    • Shannon says:

      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

  19. AnGeLwInGz says:

    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.

  20. Mora says:

    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).

  21. Emily says:

    Sometimes…it depends on how the day went and how/whether the make-up faded. =)

  22. Karen says:

    I touch up lips throughout the day and other makeup only if I’m going out after work.

  23. Amanda Enn says:

    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.

  24. Maca says:

    I touch up lipstick/gloss through the day and foundation powder if I’m going out after work :)

  25. Alexis says:

    I only do it if I am wearing lipstick.

  26. Refinement says:

    I blot my face with oil absorbing sheets.

  27. Carie says:

    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.

  28. HovercatMittens says:

    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!

  29. Alex says:

    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 :)

  30. Azaza says:

    Yup I definitely have to touch up

  31. Debra says:

    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.

  32. Brittany says:

    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.

  33. Bonnie says:

    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.

  34. BethM says:

    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.

  35. Jessica says:

    I just reapply lipstick and dig out the eyeliner globs from my eyes.

  36. coco72 says:

    I only retouch lipstick and blot, sometimes I spread a spray Fix+ if I sweat

  37. Amy says:

    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. :)
