What’s your beauty like when you’re under the weather? Sick or just down in the dumps, do you still reach for all of your morning makeup?

My boyfriend always teases me about this because although I might not wear much makeup when I’m sick in bed, if I drag my sorry *ss to the doctor, I put on a full face and get dressed in my normal clothes (skirt & heels). I also put on makeup for a 2 am ice cream run at the gas station… Yeah, I have issues.
Monday, August 25, 2008
LOL! Ah, yes… I know that feeling, Laney!
Monday, August 25, 2008
good question! i try to keep things as simple as possible.
usually when i’m feeling bad i won’t be bothered with contacts so i wear my glasses – ergo no need to deal with eye make up. usually some blush/bronzer makes me look a lot fresher and a little eyeliner makes me look more awake.
Monday, August 25, 2008
Me too, Viv! I tend to have so little energy, I don’t end up doing my makeup :( Unless I have to go out, then I do a little!
Monday, August 25, 2008
If I feel sick I just don’t wear any!
Monday, August 25, 2008
This is usually how I feel, too!
Monday, August 25, 2008
today i’m in a blah mood, so i did a minimal look (since i can’t seem to leave the house with absolutley NO makeup on….)
today is:
regular foundation/concealer
perky paint pot
vailla pigment (on lid and browbone)
diorshow black mascara
soba to fill brows
clear brow set
shy beauty BP blush
lollipop loving lipstick w/ pucker tendertone over (try it!!)
and now i feel human :)
Monday, August 25, 2008
It is hard to leave the house without makeup on! At least, sometimes :)
Monday, August 25, 2008
That’s so funny to me that you ask this today because that’s how I’m feeling today – sick with a cold. And I wondered how to do my makeup this morning. I guess I did the usual, but without the normal amount of care of effort. If I wanted people to notice I was sick, I wouldn’t wear any!
Monday, August 25, 2008
I’m sick with a cold, too, Heather!!
Monday, August 25, 2008
Not as much as on days I feel good
When under the weather just mascara, blush & lipgloss.
Monday, August 25, 2008
I usually try to brighten up the skin, too, when I’m sick!
Monday, August 25, 2008
If I’m sickly, beauty products are nonexistant. However, makeup totally perks me up if I’m feeling down.
Monday, August 25, 2008
LOL, yes, makeup takes a leave when I get sick, too!
Monday, August 25, 2008
When I’m sick, all I want is high thread count sheets and sleep. The only thing I really use is nice smelling hand cream (for some reason, the JR watkins lemon hand cream makes me feel a little better), lip balm, and after I’m feeling up to it, a scrub with les couvent des minimes honey scrub.
Monday, August 25, 2008
LOL!! Yes, sleep is nice when you’re sick!
Monday, August 25, 2008
Good question!! Usually when I am sick and all stuffy and puffy, I am proud of myself for managing to wash and moisturize!! So I usually will just be a bare face bum, or if I have to go to work, I’ll try to conceal what I can and fake it with some blush :) But when i am sad or stressed, it makes me feel better somehow to put on a full face and know i at least LOOK prepared to face the day! its a bit empowering, i think.
Monday, August 25, 2008
LOL! Yeah, I’d have to agree with you. Especially when you get hit by a mean bug!
Monday, August 25, 2008
If I’m sick in bed I wont bother at all… but if Im depressed or low, Ill do something a little extra just to perk up my mood! :)
Monday, August 25, 2008
Ditto, Sana ;)
Monday, August 25, 2008
If I’m sick and I have to go to work, I will reach for concealer and blush. I find blush the most effective thing to combat a tired face.
Monday, August 25, 2008
So true! Blush is a great pick-your-face-up!
Monday, August 25, 2008
Just concealer, foundation, powder, and a MSF.
Monday, August 25, 2008
Nice ;)
Monday, August 25, 2008
Unless I’m really sick and I’m committed to bedrest, I will do my regular makeup if I’m still mobile enough to go to my classes or whatnot. I’ll concentrate on foundation and blush, because when I’m sick my complexion looks pasty. I’ll try to make myself look as healthy as I can, haha.
Monday, August 25, 2008
I usually have to put on blush and foundation if I leave the house, otherwise people will mistake me for a corpse, LOL. (When I’m sick, I mean.)
Monday, August 25, 2008
Non existent. If I’m not feeling well I don’t like wearing any makeup. If I’m feeling down, a bright lipstick and or a fragrance helps to perk me up.
Monday, August 25, 2008
I love a nice lipstick for a pick me up, too!
Monday, August 25, 2008
I don’t wear makeup if I’m sick. But I’f I’m depressed or low putting on a full face makes me feel better.
Monday, August 25, 2008
Completely the same – when I’m depressed putting on make up gives me a bit of a boost but when I’m sick I can barely get a shower and get dressed, let alone put any make up on.
Monday, August 25, 2008
Oh, man, do I feel you on the “don’t want to do anything” while sick thing!
Monday, August 25, 2008
Sounds like this is how a lot of you feel!
Monday, August 25, 2008
Not feeling very good today but I’m wearing
Sunset B on lid
Stars and Rockets in crease
Feline on waterline
Pomposity on lips
Cult Fave on top
Monday, August 25, 2008
Me neither! Hope you feel better soon, DevilishDoll :)
Monday, August 25, 2008
I don’t wear makeup when I’m sick. I’ll usually consider putting some on and then change my mind because I feel so miserable. On the plus side, I’m usually too weak to put in my contacts either. My glasses do a decent job of covering dark circles and everything else that I try to conceal with makeup.
Monday, August 25, 2008
Aww, I felt just like this today, LOL!
Monday, August 25, 2008
Only if I’m going out. If I have school or whatever (though I’ll usually skip class if I’m really sick!) I’ll use the bare minimum, ie, mineral foundation to cover blotchyness and dark circles, and neutral makeup. (Which is odd for me, since I rarely use neutrals.) Maybe some liner, definitely mascara and maybe blush to make me look perked up. Although, if I am sick and still dragging myself to school, I’ll usually want the teachers to know I’m sick, so why try to make myself look perked up?
When I’m home alone or just laying in bed sick, I don’t use makeup. It feels like a waste.
Monday, August 25, 2008
Hey Mariah! That’s exactly what I do. I’ll try to brighten up the skin, otherwise not much else.
Monday, August 25, 2008
Hey, I’m not feeling good today either! :( Woke up with a headache that morphed into a small migraine…but now the medicine has kicked in so I’m feeling a bit better! I went to work anyways hoping it would get better and just wore some mascara, light peachy blush, See Sheer l/s and a swipe of Lorac Goddess e/s. I wouldn’t even have done that much except I had a meeting and wanted to look better than i felt!
So, yeah, usually I wear nothing or just mascara and gloss when I’m feeling sick. But if I’m sad or emotional, I’ll still wear a full face ‘cuz it cheers me up!
Monday, August 25, 2008
Join the club, Carrie! I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better (hope it’s all gone by now!).
Monday, August 25, 2008
If I am ill I wear a tiny bit of eyeliner and one coat of mascara!
Monday, August 25, 2008
Nice way to open up the eyes while sick!
Monday, August 25, 2008
None at all, I hate wearing makeup when I feel ill!
Monday, August 25, 2008
I second this, Rowan!
Monday, August 25, 2008
I don’t wear any. I usually only wear make up when I’m working anyway so I’m not terrified of people seeing me without it!
Monday, August 25, 2008
Gotcha ;)
Monday, August 25, 2008
off topic, but i saw this on like a facebook ad or something wondering if youve heard about it?

Haven’t heard about it…
Tuesday, August 26, 2008
If I am sick in bed, I am lucky if I even wash my face! LOL
Even if I have to go to the doctor, no makeup, maybe lipbalm, that’s it. But if I am still going to work, then I do a full face….kinda like trying to trick myself that if I look good, I will feel good.
Tuesday, September 2, 2008
LOL!! If I have to go work/school, I try to at least look alive, ha.
Tuesday, August 26, 2008
It really depends. Do I still have responsibilities? If yes, I’m gonna try to put my game face on. Otherwise, you won’t see me out of bed unless I have to pee. ;)
Tuesday, September 2, 2008
True, I totally get that ;)
Tuesday, August 26, 2008
If I’m sick and have to go somewhere, I generally will wear makeup, even it’s just some highlighter, mascara, and champagne eyeshadow, to brighten my face up a bit. Something to make me look more alive. XD
However, if I don’t? Lip balm’s the extent of it. Because being sick usually comes with icky overly-chapped lips. Bleh. If I’m feeling down, I barely want to look at myself, so makeup’s right out again. But those days, it’s probably better to curl up with a good book or watch Robin Hood: Men in Tights for the 80th time. XDD
Tuesday, September 2, 2008
I agree, gotta look alive at the very least ;P
Tuesday, August 26, 2008
If I’m home sick, I don’t do anything with my appearance because it’s the last thing I feel like doing. However, if I have to suck it up and go to work I usually stick with neutrals and a light lip gloss or balm. For some reason lipstick looks really, really garish on me when I’m sick. It just doesn’t sit right.
Like others, if I’m just feeling down, I often will do a full face to perk myself up.
Tuesday, September 2, 2008
I feel ya, Chrissy! I am sick and whiny and hate doing much of anything while under the weather!
Tuesday, August 26, 2008
i just wear tinted moisturizer, some cheap medicated lip balm, and natural mascara. i already feel icky but i don’t want my skin and lips to look icky. i’ve gone out and about without makeup. guys say i look the same without all the stuff going on on the eyes.
Tuesday, September 2, 2008
Tinted moisturizer is a great idea, Lizzii!
