What's your usual makeup routine?

[xiaonu]

I saw a skincare thread, and this is going to be different ^^ What's your typical makeup on the daily? How long does it take, or what's your technique?
I very rarely wear makeup. If I get an occasional blemish, I'll use bb cream with spf to dab it and cover it and put powder on it to make it less shiny. If I'm going out daily, I always pile on sunscreen, including my face. I then put light powder to make it matte. I don't wear anything else. If I am dressing up for a picture day, I might wear clear mascara to make my lashes look a little fuller, or aegyo sal makeup under my eyes. I admire many makeup styles but I'm generally too lazy to do all of it and I feel so weird wearing it, like somebody is going to make weird comments toward me because they never see me wear it or something. ^^; Well, what about you?

I don't wear much makeup, except for around my eyes. I don't really have time in the morning, so my usual routine is some pretty bold winged eyeliner and some mascara. (Hence the winged eyeliner on my avi, haha! It's more or less my signature look.) I don't leave the house without it, because I dread being mistaken for a boy.

If I'm going out to dinner or to a party or a reception of some sort, I do full face makeup. Foundation, blush, bronzer, shadow, liner, ect. I really enjoy putting on makeup but I don't do it that often, because it takes me a very, very long time. I don't go to many special events so this only happens once every few months.

i'm actually studying to be a makeup artist! ^.^ but day-to-day i keep it pretty natural. foundation, concealer where necessary, mascara, a natural eyeshadow, blush and tinted lip balm

if i'm going out i might contour my eyes more, contour my face a little, eyeliner and lipstick / a more pigmented lip gloss

Ah that's cool! I love cat wing liner but ugggh no matter how hard I try, I can't get them symmetric or looking decent for that matter. it's basically like this LOL

And that's cool! I wish I could learn better. I tried to do full coverage once but I just stink at blending and it looks cakey on me.
I also forget to mention since you guys reminded me, I do occasionally wear tinted lipgloss too ^^

i am literally the same with liquid eyeliner (on myself at least) and i am planning on doing this for a job so.... :/
but try a gel eyeliner / applying liquid with an angled brush (literally just paint a bit of the eyeliner onto the brush) it makes life so much easier! and it does just take a lot of practice.... i like to practice liquid eyeliner just before i shower so i can wash the mess off my face straight away hehe

Ah thank you for the tip!! I actually did buy an eyeliner brush because it was tokidoki and it was so cute. I didn't know I could try that. I only have liquid liner, so I'll definitely use this method ^^ So nothing will go to waste. and that's a good idea o:

 

[MozzarellaSticks]

Normally I just use eyeliner, curl my lashes, and mascara. I use foundation in the not hot months because it just sweats off now. I only use liquid foundations since powder dries me out and my skin is already dry. I also moisturize my face kinda obsessively. Lips I jsut use Baby Lips to keep them smooth and add a touch of color.

If I am going all out I use foundation, eyelid primer, brown eyeshadows, black eyeliner with a small wing, curl my lashes, and mascara. My lips I use a nice colored gloss or my 24 hour lipcolor.

 

[twisty]

I used to wear loads of eyeshadow and do some fierce eyeliner wings every day, but after I started working, I mostly just wear mascara, tinted lip balm, and pencil my brows darker. I do dye my hair every couple of weeks, though-does that count?

 

[Jake]

i only ever put a lot on if im going out somewhere nice. if im at home then i wont bother putting any on, and if im going somewhere casual i'll just put on eyeliner

 

[Sanaki]

I don't put much on in the summer, I usually just wear none because there's no point in wearing makeup if I don't go somewhere.

 

[Amyy]

moisturiser, then concealer under my eyes, around my nose and on the corners of my mouth. I then set it with translucent powder under my eyes, and then a different powder around my face for the small coverage.

and on my eyes i normally do liquid liner and then mascara on my top and bottom lashes

and on my lips, i like a bit of colour so yeah c:

 

[Isabella]

I barely wear any in the summer. But I use eyeliner, foundation/concealer, mascara occasionally and tinted lip balm or lipstick or something. I suck at eyeshadow so I never do that.

 

[jeido]

BB cream and light powder (concealer where needed) with a gold shimmery eye (with a defined crease) has been my go-to look for the summer, unless I'm just sitting at home or my boyfriend's house, in which case no makeup. I've been wearing a little bit of brown eyeliner that i bring downwards at the outside corner and soften a fair amount, with a nude or light pink lip and black mascara.

If I'm going out somewhere special or soemthing I'll do the same eyeshadow, but heavy soft black eyeliner in a very Middle-Eastern style (I'm Turkish, it highlights my features nicely and I feel like a princess! ^^; and a red lip.

I just bought a brush set from Coastal Scents, I'm super psyched to try it out.

I don't put much on in the summer, I usually just wear none because there's no point in wearing makeup if I don't go somewhere.

I'm the opposite, I'll put on makeup if I'm bored just to practice if I'm not going anywhere.

If I'm going to work, I try to keep it really simple, foundation and mascara. I tend to go with dark lipsticks (like Lorac's Dominatrix). If I'm going anywhere else or going nowhere at all, I love to wear bright eyeshadows. Ever since I bought the Urban Decay electric palette I've been addicted to it!

That is me if I try to attempt thicker upper eye liner or wings.

For the most part, I can't be bothered with makeup.
But if I have to put effort into it, I go powder, eye shadow, mascara, liquid eyeliner (pencil eyeliner does infact make me look awfully similar to a raccoon or panda) oh and some times a little blush/bonzer c: with lip balm stuff.
If I'm just popping to the shop, light powder with some mascara

boys can wear makeupppppp and it doesn't have to be obvious
(like my boyfriend refuses to leave the house without concealer on his nose bc he thinks it's red or something)
there's a guy in my makeup class and omg when we contoured his face his bone structure looked amazing
just saying

but yeah it's totally cool for anyone to wear makeup / not wear makeup as long as they're happy! ^.^

i didn't say there was anything wrong with it

 

[AskaRay]

Sometimes I apply lipstick while driving (not too often as it's cheap black lipstick and only appropriate every so often)
as for that
......
i dont wear makeup. my eyelashes are full enough by themselves, and it's not worth the effort to wear concealer or any of that stuff. Sometimes if i'm feeling particularly not lazy I'll put on eyeliner but. nah

LOL wat. It'd be nice if guys put more effort into their appearance from time to time too ^^. Some kpop stars can really pull off the smokey eyeliner look. It makes them look mysterious. o:

I have curly hair, so my eyelashes naturally curl too. Since I have light brown hair, my lashes are too. But on picture days or whatever I'll wear clear mascara to elongate the tips of my lashes to make them appear darker or more noticeable.
