How many times do you wear makeup in a week (on average)? 7. Unless I’m sick, I wear makeup. I own it, I wear it!

How long does it usually take for you to do your makeup? 15 to 20 minutes!

I have light/neutral undertone.

I wear makeup just at work, so about 5 days a week. I focus on skincare and longer term masking/treatments on the weekends.

Makeup is about 10 minutes tops now. I found with wearing a mask constantly at work and when out that wearing lipstick and foundation is completely non-essential. Too much smudging while wearing the mask and the lipstick really stains the inside of the mask as well. I tried to wear lipstick for a few days with a mask and it would rub against the inside of the cloth mask and smudge around my mouth area too. I looked like the Joker applied it.

As for foundation, since the mask covers the majority of my cheeks, nose, and chin area it’s not required nor serves much of anything. It too stains and rubs off on my mask. I focus now on brows, a touch of liner and mascara.

Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral skin tone, green eyes, s&p hair

How many times do you wear makeup in a week (on average)? During the pandemic, just once a week. Back when things were normal, almost every day.

Does your makeup vary from the week compared to the weekend? My regular work week makeup stays pretty much the same, but it can change for the weekend depending on what I’ll be doing.

How long does it usually take for you to do your makeup? For a full face, about 30 minutes.

Your skin tone/coloring: Light-medium with warm yellow undertones, dark brown hair and eyes

How many times do you wear makeup in a week (on average)? 5 times, each week day, to switch my mind into ‘at works gear

Does your makeup vary from the week compared to the weekend? Yes, during the weekend I only wear make-up if I go to an event (which now doesn’t happen anymore). Otherwise, it’s no make-up on weekends, moderately casual; make-up during the week.

How long does it usually take for you to do your makeup? 10-15 minutes, on the longer side if I use more than 2 eyeshadows and a liquid liner.

Note, my mind read at first how many times a week do you wear a mask. ?

Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
How many times do you wear makeup in a week (on average)? pretty much every day, even during this pandemic
Does your makeup vary from the week compared to the weekend? not very much; my makeup look (eyes especially) is generally pretty neutral; I might go a bit more smokey but most of the time, my look doesn’t change on the weekend
How long does it usually take for you to do your makeup? Not counting skincare and time for moisturizer and primers to sink in or set, probably 15 to 20 minutes.

Lt. warm skintone.
I wear makeup daily. I see too much uneven tone and dark circles to just let it be. I do sometimes forgo mascara while staying home since it’s such a pain to take off and usually smears eventually.
Weekdays have lots of work related Zoom calls, so I try to make my makeup flattering and unobtrusive – my version of professional. On the weekends there’s more experimentation, and I play with a broader range of color and texture. Either way, I probably spend 15 – 30 minutes. Tbh the time I take is more based on mood than any complexity of ‘the look’.

Your skin tone/colouring: Light medium, yellow undertones. Dark brown hair & eyes.

How many times do you wear makeup in a week (on average)? About 5 or 6.

Does your makeup vary from the week compared to the weekend? Nope, not even a little bit.

How long does it usually take for you to do your makeup? About 35 minutes for a full face, that includes combing out my hair while my primer sets and brushing my teeth while my mascara dries and walking around the house opening the curtains, etc. I like to multi task.

Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes).

How many times do you wear makeup in a week (on average)? During the past month, probably 2-3 x’s, I believe.

Does your makeup vary from the week compared to the weekend? Nope! When I do my face, all that makes any difference are things like time constraints or my mood. I’m someone who will do a heavy beat, red lips with a winged out intense smokey eye just to go food shopping!

How long does it usually take for you to do your makeup? Depends! If I’m doing a quick, easy look: 15 minutes, I guess. But, if I’m going to do a very involved eye look using 6-8 shades, more like 45-60 minutes.

Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name.

How many times do you wear makeup in a week (on average)? Usually about 2 or 3 times. Some weeks more and some less. I don’t work anymore so many days I stay home and if I am bored I will play with makeup or I might just not wear makeup at all that week.

Does your makeup vary from the week compared to the weekend? I am not driven by week or weekend but rather by what I am doing. If I am going out in the evening or to dinner, etc then I will step up my makeup but that could be any day of the week.

How long does it usually take for you to do your makeup? Again, it depends on what type of makeup I am doing and for what occasion. I can have a full face on in about 20 minutes and be happy with that but if I am doing something special then I usually will take about an hour to do my face.

Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones

How many times do you wear makeup in a week (on average)? Every single day of the week, without fail.

Does your makeup vary from the week compared to the weekend? No my makeup wearing does not vary from weekday to weekend, it all depends on what I am wearing.

How long does it usually take for you to do your makeup? About 10 -15 minutes, I have the routine down pat. The longest time is deciding which eyeshadow shades I want to use and from which palettes.

How many times do you wear makeup in a week (on average)? I’m daily-vlogging the month of July, so I’m actually wearing makeup every day this week, but normally it’s more like 1-2 a week. Whenever I’m filming basically. Before I finished school and took up YouTube as a hobby it would be 3-5 times a week

Does your makeup vary from the week compared to the weekend? When I was in school it varied depending on whether or not I had a Business/Economics class that day. I was a Drama major with a minor in Economics and the attitudes on makeup in the Drama department vs. the Business school were night and day. I would get tons of compliments on colorful makeup from Drama people but keep it more conservative in the Business school lest I get long stares from the business bros. Now there’s no difference

How long does it usually take for you to do your makeup? 10 minutes tops. I almost never wear base products and my eyelid space only leaves room for one or two different shadows so that shaves off a lot of time

Your skin tone/coloring: fair neutral (peach)

How many times do you wear makeup in a week (on average)? I’d say 5-6 days/week. Putting on my makeup relaxes me, it’s always something I look forward to.

Does your makeup vary from the week compared to the weekend? No. It varies with my outfits and my mood πŸ™‚

How long does it usually take for you to do your makeup? About 15 minutes for an easy look, longer for more complex looks. The longest parts are buffing/setting my base and concealer/corrector, and doing my eyes (eyeshadow, liner, mascara etc)

Your skin tone/coloring:
Medium light (light when I don’t have a tan)

How many times do you wear makeup in a week (on average)?
At least 5 days a week, I take breaks on days off when I have nothing planned

Does your makeup vary from the week compared to the weekend?
I wear all kinds of looks at work, from very light to a touch of glamour on the eyes. I tend to stick to gold, copper and bronze tones mostly.
For special occassions, I might go “all out” and add a more vibrant color.

How long does it usually take for you to do your makeup?
Depends what look I’m going for. I can be ready in 15 minutes for a simple look, but when I feel like it, I can easily sit down at my vanity for about an hour and do a full detailed look.
