I don't because, let's face it: there's nothing more pathetic than a middle aged guy wearing eyeliner.

I used to cake it on everyday when I was going to school. It took about half an hour to do. Then after a while I just thought that it was a bit of a waste of good make-up, so I don't bother with it anymore. It's only for special occasions I think.

I'll only ever wear it on special occasions. Seeing all the girls around my school with bright orange faces and panda eyes put me off.

When I do wear it, it's just some eyeliner, and that's it.

I hardly ever wear it; mostly I just put a little powder, eyeliner, and lipstick on for job interviews and special occaisions, otherwise I stick to chapstick (my only weakness!). This is mostly because when I'm getting ready to go out or get to work, I don't have time to mess around with cosmetics, but it's also partly because I have trouble finding powder light enough for my skin, so I try to conserve the one rather pricey brand/shade that I've found to match. I don't get out much during the daytime, so I'm kind of pasty.

I have actually stopped wearing makeup lately unless I am going out. Too expensive on my poor person budget to use everyday.

Good point. I think that's the main reason I haven't tried it.

The belly dance ones? No, that make-up is stage only. The rest of em, yeah. At most, most days, it's just chap stick and a spot of medicated convealer for a mole on the side of my face.

I used to wear it, but it just didn't suit my face...I would have to either go all-out to make it work, or not at all. And since I'm too lazy to bother, not at all is the more appealing option .

Ooh, thanks. That should be a little cheaper (not to mention easier to deal with) than the loose powder I've been using.

I have had to stop wearing makeup every day unless I am going out somewhere. I am about to run out of it and I am broke. Severely.

I've actually found that my skin has got much better since I ditched the foundation. It used to get really dry, even with moisturiser. But that hasn't really happened.

I've gone back to using mascara though.

I have never worn foundation. It does nothing for me. Plus it always looks horrid. I can never find my shade.

I used to hide behind my makeup. I never felt...pretty.

After I got married, I never let my husband see me without makeup, because I thought it made me more attractive to him.

Then I got sick, broke some ribs, messed up an ankle.. and I couldnt take care of myself the way I did. What I mean is... I had to have help, and extras like makeup went by the wayside.

When I found out how much he was attracted to me without makeup, I didnt feel obligated to it. He made me so much more comfortable in my skin, its indescribable.

Then.. he started encouraging me to play with it. To bring out the weird side that really is the real me, and to enjoy it.

So yeah. On a daily basis, I do very ornate makeup. I shall have to show pics, but yeah. VERY ornate.

That being said... if I don't feel like wearing it one day, I don't. I am comfortable either way. But I really think the funky ornate makeup is more me.

And yeah... its usually less than 15 minutes. I do super speed makeup.

I keep my make-up simple these days. Light eyeshadow, mascara, eyebrow pencil to cover up spots that aren't even, and sometimes I wear very light foundation on my cheeks.

I started wearing makeup when I was about 13.
I had no idea how to put it on if I'm honest and looked fairly horrendous.

Now I'm 15 and can put it on fairly well.
Practice makes perfect.

I used to wear red lipstick everyday, and now I don't. It's a shame, I could really pull it off.

I don't wear makeup because I'm absolutely awful at it. And it doesn't really look good on me.

I covered my face in brown eyeliner once because I thought I was a tree.

On a daily basis the only makeup that I wear is a tinted moisturizer, mainly because I don't like many moisturizers with sun protection but this one is spf 15, and some lip gloss. Other than that the makeup only really gets pulled out for Rocky Horror and/or clubbing, most days I really can't be bothered.
