Comments so Far...

I used to wear make up every day, but now I don't because I would rather not spend the three minutes it takes to apply it just to look nice at home.

Heck no. I wear makeup maybe once a month...just to feel a little extra pretty.

No, but I do wear it if I am going in to the office or have a meeting, It took me a long time to get to this point-- I was raised by a mother who said one should NEVER go out of the house without make-up. I"m really into my hair and hair products. I never go out without my hair looking nice.

I very rarely wear make-up. In the 80's, I never left the house without makeup. In the 90's, I found that return-of-the-hippy style and it appealed to me and I found that under that makeup is a gorgeous face. I use a little makeup for a finished look when I get dressed up, but that's rare!

I used to NOT put on makeup if I were staying home all day to work. But then I realized that I like looking nice for my husband, so sometimes, even if it's right before he comes home, I'll go put on some mascara and blush. But I don't usually wear makeup just for me and my computer :).

I apply at least a little makeup every day...if I don't, I feel so unmotivated! I also need to cover up the dark under eye circles from working into the wee hours of the morning!

No. But then, I work from home with multiple toddlers.

When I go out? Almost always. I love that little extra time spent on myself - it's a pampering treat that I genuinely enjoy. Plus - I look GOOD. Heh.

Yes. I've become someone who doesn't leave the house without wearing under-eye concealer, mascara, and lip stain, even on weekends. But I don't wear all that much more than that even to work, and I use products that are good for my over-40 skin. It helps me feel more confident and comfortable. Also, it's partly a reaction against my years with my first husband, who was always disapproving of makeup. Now, if I could just get my hair to behave from one day to the next...
