How long does it take you to do your makeup on average? What’s your speediest time? Longest time?
.
Five minutes or less for speediest… probably somewhere around two hours for longest! I’d say 20-30 minutes on average.

speediest 5mins, average 15-20mins
Normally around 5-10 minutes.
same, 5-10 minutes.
speediest 10mins – average 20-30mins…
i’ll never leave the house before i know everything is on properly and nothing too over done..
I know! I always have trouble trying to fix anything that’s overdone. My worst (and most common) mistakes are overdone brows, too thick/harsh liner, and cheeks that are a bit too pink. My sister and mom will tell me that I have too much eyeshadow on, but they only say that because they don’t understand makeup artistry and think bold eyeshadows automatically = too much, lol!
Speediest 5 mins, longest 15 mins, usually 10 mins. I don’t do eyeshadow so that cuts my time in half I guess! My routine is concealer, powder foundation, eyebrow pencil and wax, eyeliner and mascara, blush, lipgloss and I’m outta door 😀
Average probably around 10/15 mins 🙂
I do my make up on an average day in 20-30 minutes, but I can do it in 5minutes when I’m in a hurry.
about 20-30 minutes 🙂 If I don’t know what look I want to go for it takes longer but if I have something in mind, it’s like boom boom pow, and I’m done.
Around 30 minutes, the speediest about 5 minutes, only using MMU, blush, eyeliner, and lipstick, and the longest is 2 hours, it take me time to do the eye part 🙂
I need at least 45 minutes
the speediest would be like 25 min
I need on average 25 to 35 minutes…doing my eye makeup takes the longest. The speediest is about 10 minutes…and thats just putting on mascara, eyeliner, tinted moisturizer, and lipgloss. The longest its taking me is a little over an hour.
I’d say 5 minutes if I was in a hurry. But I can take as long as an hour.. makeup relaxes me, so I like to take my time just to enjoy it 🙂
On average it’s probably 15-20 mins, but it really depends on how many products I’m using, so hard to say. I need a min of 10 minutes to do the basics, and if I’m not in a hurry, I will probably take longer than 20 mins.
average 15 to 20 min with only putting my LF with loose powder, drawing eyebrow, eyeliner, blushes, and lipgloss
I always have the same routine, so it takes me around 10 minutes to get ready.
I take forever to do my makeup… LOL
But seriously, if I don’t have the time, I just throw on foundation, concealer, brows and blusher (10 mins)
The absolute fastest would be 10 mins. On average, 20-30 mins. for simple makeup. When I’m going out, an hour or so. I know I’ve spent much longer, but it’s while doing other things to get ready too.
When I wake up late and am in a rush, it takes me 10 minutes. On average, about 20 minutes. When I’m going out and go all out, it takes me around an hour.
yup same with me …im always rushing
When I’m being rushed, I’ll only apply 1. Face powder 2. Eyeliner/shadow smudge 3. Mascara 4. Brows. That only takes 10 minutes for me. On a normal day, my makeup takes 30 – 45 minutes, only because I have to use my fingers to apply all my eyeshadow. I’m sure with a collection of eye brushes I could cut that time in half! I once took two hours on makeup for a cocktail party, LOL!
Rush: Normally school days: 5-10 minutes
Everyday: 15-30 minutes ( I like to take my time)
Special occasions: could take anywhere from my everyday time to nearly an hour!!!
if im in a rush like 10-15 mins
but on average 30-45.
I’m really patient and like to take my time.
I think the longest was yesterday actually it took me like 1 hour (i redid my eye makeup twice).
I like these “Tempalia Asks you” they are fun to answer and to read people’s replies, makes me feel normal. lol
I agree! I like answering these but even more I like reading other people’s answers. It really does make me feel ‘normal’. lol
on average 15 minutes
Usually around 10-15 minutes. If I am doing something really crazy, maybe half an hour. 🙂
On average it takes me about 15-20 minutes to do a full makeup face. The shortest time I’ve taken is about 10 minutes and the longest time has taken about 35 minutes (when I first started using eye liner and eye shadow).
it only takes me about 10-15 minutes to do a full face, LOL!
powder foundation, blush, eyeliner, shadow, mascara, blush, lips!
In a rush probably 10 minutes, average about 30 minutes. The longest I think was an hour.
on school days I only apply a touch of mascara, some blush and Highlighter and a lipgloss so I’d say 5-10 minutes (depending on the result i want to get with the mascara) but on the week ends and on school holidays I always take up to an hour to do my makeup (those eyes take so much time haha)
15-20 minutes. Includes face, eyes, eyebrows 🙂
If I’m really glamming it up, it takes me about 30 minutes.
No eyes takes me 5 minutes; with eyes it’s more like 15-20 min.
about 25 minutes for a done-up look (eyeshadow, lashes, etc) otherwise it take me like 10 minutes for a minimal average look.
10 minutes without doing my eye shadow. Up to 45 minutes if I decide to do shadow – some time spent fixing my mistakes, lol. The longest I think has been 1hr, for a special occasion or redoing my eyeshadow if it got messed up.
Depends on the look of course, but in general about 15 minutes for a more in-depth look, 5 or so for a simple one. My vision handicap makes eye makeup take a bit longer though, so unless I’m using those ColorOn thingies it might take me longer!
15 mins!
It used to take me 15 minutes to do my full face… but it averagely takes me 25 minutes now.. that’s from a combo of being more careful and doing more complex looks.
I do the whole makeup routine 5 days a week for work & it takes me an hour for makeup so that would be my average. Weekends I do simpler looks so then its more like 30 min just for makeup.
It takes me at least 25-30 minutes if I’ll be wearing foundation, etc. I think it’s just paranoia though — I always want to look very fresh and ‘natural’ but simultaneously play up the eyes, so I spend half that time just making sure everything is blended to my liking. Smokey eyes are a staple. 🙂
About 10 minutes or less.
For everyday makeup (foundation, powder, blush, mascara, brows, lipstick) about 15 minutes or so.
For nighttime/going-out makeup (primer, foundation, powder, blush, shadow. brows, lipliner, lipstick, gloss)? AT LEAST half an hour lol. My s*** has to be pristine!!
I wake up the exact same time every day with the exact same amount of time to get to work, so I never do ‘rushed’ make-up. On average, it takes me around 30 minutes, I’d say! Sometimes it can take a bit more, depending on how complicated the eye make-up is. 🙂
on a school day,usually like 10-15 mins. i can do it in 5 if i need to, but i like to take my time and blend everything out nicely. the longest i’ve done would probably be 45 minutes.
Usually 10 to 20 minutes. For special occasions it could be much longer, not to mention that I also like to practice my techniques (eyeline or false lashes anyone?).
I really enjoy makeup and the parallel transformation; each look is a different facet of a concept of self. In addition, I embrace the challenge of mastering colours that could otherwise look tacky and trying new ideas that I get on youtube and online.
speed- 5mins Longest- 1 hour average- 20-30min
Funny that another Heather is posting above me but anyways it takes me less than 5 minutes normally.
My average is around 15-20 minutes, but if I take my time and do something fancy it can be up to an hour.
5 mins w/o eyes
15 mins with eyes
15-20 minutes doing a simple eye look, 45 minutes if I’m doing something fancier.
About 15 minutes for a full face. But, if it is the week-end, and I am really experimenting, it can take 30 – 40 minutes.
Also, when I am trying to learn a new technique or use a new product, sometimes, I play with my make-up for about 15 or 20 minutes before I get ready for bed. I’ll even do my eyes two different ways, just to compare, since I wash it off right away. (Anybody else do that?)
lol. I do that too. gotta test some looks out before you wear them outside of the house. then i go and wash it all off before bed!
Usually takes me 30 min for a full face (and thats simple 1-2-3 eyeshadow). I like picking and choosing, heming and hawing over colors and tools, lol. There’s just so many pretty things to choose from!
A simple face (foundation, blush, liner, mascara, and a lippie) take me about 10-15 min.
i have to take my time and make sure everything is perfect, so probably around 40 minutes, if i was rushing it would be more like 20. i’m such a perfectionist though, that i would rather wake up earlier than leave the house without ‘my face’ or with a rushed job lmao
for speedy moments about 5 or less
hmmmm.. well, i definitely spend more time on my makeup than anything else when getting ready for the day. probably about 30 minutes or so (maybe longer). but if i am pressed for time, i HAVE to have concealer, foundation and blush. i will never leave the house w/out those basics.
at the very VERY least, even if I do it quickly, some good 20 minutes
Speedy 10 minutes, avg 20 min.
With the regular skincare ritual thrown in, I spend about 25-30 mins overall to complete my look. If I am doing something more dramatic on the eyes, I may take an extra 15 mins (or more!)
For an evening nite out, I’d say I take about 1hr 15 mins or so.
I can be done in 5-10min if I must, but prefer to take about 20min.
quick : 5 mins
average : 15 mins
full: 30-40 mins
Probably around 5 minutes.. Concealer, blush and mascara!
I am very anal, so it takes me about 45-60 minutes!! I know that’s a lot of time but I want a flawless finish.
my shortest time would be 10-15 minutes… on average 30 minutes..if i have to look awesome awesome then 45 minutes to an hours 🙂
5 mins would consist of just gloss and blush
Around 2hrs for my longest and on average 20mins.
anywhere from 5-20 min maybe less though now i’m not really wearing more than mascarra and lipgloss these days if i wear any make up at all
well if im in a rush it takes me 10 minutes to finish and the longest time it takes me to have the perfect look lets say around an hour!!!
