When do you do your makeup? Morning, evening? Only if you’re going out?

.

I tend to do it only when I have time–which tends to be later mornings or early afternoons!

I only do it when I have work or am going out for a special occasion like hanging out with friends or the bf. 😛 no makeup during school for me ’cause I have no need to impress anyone there!

I typically do it right before heading out of the house for the first time or right before the hubster gets home from work; so it varies greatly.

I only do it when I’m going out, if I’m going to spend the whole day at home I won’t put on makeup. I generally do it in the morning before I go to uni, sometimes midday if I have late classes. If I’m going out at night after I’ve been out during the day I’ll do my makeup again.

I do my makeup before I go out. If I’m not going out I don’t bother, I prefer to just let my skin breathe and try to give it a break!

I do my makeup before I leave my house unless I’m just going out to get the mail! Usually in the morning but can be afternoon or at night.

in the morning usually, or whenever i’m going out…but also sometimes when i’m just feeling like playing around or experimenting w a new look.

Anytime on the weekends when I’m going out with friends, and sometimes in school when I don’t feel tired in the morning, whch is RARE 🙂

I do it in the morning before I go to work. On the weekends I don’t do my makeup to run errands but I will do it before I go out to dinner with my fiance.

Mornings and usually touch ups through out the day and sometimes if I have a special event in the evening I’ll take it all off and do it again.

I have to be to work by 6 so I’m up at 4am every morning, in the bathroom by 4:15, and that’s when I start my morning routine. My normal makeup look is pretty simple and needs to last all day because I don’t usually have time to touch it up.

in the mornings before school usually. just some mascara though. I only put on foundation, eyeshadow etc if I’m going out in the evenings.

Amanda Avatar

Before I go out. I’m a freelancer so I don’t wear makeup during the week unless I’m going shopping or meeting a client. It keeps my skin looking good though and doesn’t feel like a chore when I do decide to wear it.

In the mornings when I have work I usually only put foundation, mascara and a bit of blush.. same goes for when I have school, which is only 3 days in a week. When going out on the weekends thats when I use eyeshadow, eyeliner, etc.

For work during the week: In the mornings

On weekends: If I go out at night or if I have time before running errands in the morning/afternoon

If I have to leave the house and have face to face interaction with anybody, I’ll do my makeup right before I leave. Otherwise, if I’m just dropping off bills or whatever, a hat will serve as camouflage. 🙂

In the morning before work and whenever I’m going out for the evening.

When I do errands, I only wear lip gloss and some mascara, nothing heavier.

KaylaK Avatar

I do my makeup in the mornings when I’m about to go to school, but it’s usually really light makeup. I also do it later on in the afternoon or do a major touch up before I go to work.

Daniela Avatar

I try to do my make-up in the morning, but I don’t really have time (wake up too late and need to catch the bus xD…). So I just slap on some concealer, mascara and blush.
In the evening however, when I go away, I put on a lot more.

Kella Avatar

I can’t work right now (health) so I only do my makeup when I’m going to my boyfriend’s house, leaving the house to go anywhere, or if someone is going to be coming to my house. So basically I do my makeup whenever someone is going to see my face, other than my parents. lol

Candee Sparks Avatar

As soon as I wake up I slap on a moisturizer (while still in bed) and go from there. Depending on when I wake up and the time from when I start to the time the bus come, I’ll do the whole thing but if not then all I’ll do is foundation, draw on my eyebrows and contour. I finish my eyes at school if necessary.

Nic Avatar

If I wake up early enough, I’ll do very basic makeup (foundation, blush, mascara) for work, though that hasn’t happened much lately. Otherwise, I do it shortly before I go out.

Christy Avatar

It depends on when I’m leaving to go out. Usually I do it in the morning before leaving for work or school. If I end up going out in the evening, I’ll retouch and add to what I have put on. Sometimes I’ll just wash it all off and restart if I’ve had a really long day.

Heather Avatar

I usually do it when I wake up in the morning. Sometimes I won’t feel like doing it and then I’ll end up doing it in the afternoon or something and usually if I’m just staying home or something if its like sunday I won’t do my makeup at all unless I feel like it.

Every morning after gym before I go to work…a bit of a boost showing of my MAC compacts and brushes at the locker room’s countertop when making up :-p Weekends when going out….

Luda Avatar

I do my make up befre i leave the house. Usually its in the morning before work. on weekends it’s before i leave the house whatever time that will be. if i am home all day i won’t wear anything.

Bettina Avatar

Every morning before work, or if it’s a day off I do it before I leave the house.
Today was a no make up day because
I take a martial arts class and today we had to get up at 7:30 am to be in a special event class by 10 (it was a longer drive than usuall) so there was no point in putting any on plus it was raining and when I got home we had to clean our whole house from top to bottom.
