Eating Out - Outside - and Makeup

beach-mom — Sun, 09 Aug 2020 01:43:48 GMT

We have been eating out - outside - at places we have always frequented and trust. In the past eating out was an occasion I went all out for- dress and makeup, even when it was casual dress. Tonight when I was putting on my makeup I thought "why bother?"

When we are at the table eating with masks off the server can see me, and I want to look nice. I usually wear just eye makeup and maybe something to cover my darker under eye allergy circles. I wear a lip color that doesn't come off on anything. But I don't wear foundation or blush.

I thought why bother with eye makeup. I could wear just eyebrow gel and a little mascara.

What do you do? I miss makeup!

Hi @beach-mom

I go fresh faced, sans make up and just a tad of Prai moisturizer. that's it.

I miss AIR CONDITIONING when having a meal out!

I put makeup on for me, I never wore much and right now is very warm so I have started using Pericone no makeup makeup, with powder to matte it down, wore that, eye line under my eyes and mascara, put on lipstick in the car and said to my self silly, you are going to put on a mask and I immediately took it off.

I haven't used makeup for such a long time that when I used some today it had become thick and clumpy.

When I go out I wear makeup. I wear a light tint on my face, blush, lip color and sometimes I take Stone eyeshadow pen for under the lower lashes. It makes me feel good mask or not. I wear a mask inside but if no one is around, I don't wear it outside or in the car.

My makeup has stayed the same since I wear a face shield...a little powder foundation, eyebrow pencil & lip stain.

I always wear makeup every day - for me and not to impress others or look better just for when I go out!!!

We just went to an outdoor dinner last night.

I put on my make up as usual, but I was more light-handed. I didn't put on as much eyeshadow or eyeliner as I would normally use when going out go to dinner on a Saturday night. My foundation was lighter as well. It was really warm out last night and I figured everything would melt off anyway.

l live in Florida so eating out in the heat would not be an option for me. I don't wear any makeup when I go out now the because of masks. I used to never go anywhere without at least some on. Now I don't look at anyone and no one looks at me. It is just a run in and grab what I need and out the door. The mask is not fun to wear so I do what I have to do in it as fast as possible. I will only eat out when I can eat inside and feel safe and relaxed and enjoy my meal. That may not be for years...

I'm still going to work every day and have to wear a mask so I don't bother with face makeup at all. I just do my eye makeup as I always have because that's the only part that shows.

I put make up everyday. I always have and always will. I don't use alot of it but I use it. I especially wear when going out to dinner. People still see you when seated. I still dress up and not wear lounge in sweats or pj. I still need some sort of normalcy in my life.

I live in Arizona and few restaurants have outdoor seating for obvious reasons. We're on our 33rd day of over 110. We can eat inside in the air conditioning. Still I wear little makeup because just wearing the mask from the front door (I put it on right before I enter a building and take it off the second my foot hits the outdoors) makes me sweaty. I usually only wear moisturizer and some blush.

@beach-mom Easy answer for me. I have not eaten outdoors or ordered out food since Covid. Now in Fl. we are in a hot spot so its out of the question. I would also think that cooks that work in hot kitchens can't possibly wear masks for hours.

Good morning. Yesterday we went to a very small (about 12 people) family birthday cookout out of town. It was on the patio, separate tables spaced far apart, so we took our masks off except to go inside to use the bathroom.

Yes, I wore my usual "mask makeup", but upped it a bit since I haven't seen this part of the family for over 6 months and I felt like being festive.

I did my skincare (always, which includes spf especially since outside, I used a waterproof, sweat proof type of spf). Then I applied my tinted moisturizer, concealer, cream blush topped w/ matching powder blush (NARS "O"), a little neutral, light grey/heather shadow, brows, navy tightline and mascara. Lip pencil applied all over & blotted down with lip balm. Laura Mercier setting powder in t zone.

I'm finding the trick to any makeup or skincare staying on with a mask in this hot weather is setting spray. I find I'm using it daily just to keep my skincare/spf in place if that's all I'm wearing. The spray also keeps makeup from transferring to the inside of my mask making them easier to clean.

Shanus- what spf do you use on your face? I am looking for a new waterproff, sweatproof one. I use Neutrogena Hydroboost right now and it is fine for everyday wear but it is not sweatproof and is constantly getting in my eyes at the beach.

Re: Eating Out - Outside - and Makeup

Shanus — Sun, 09 Aug 2020 14:04:48 GMT

@ninjawife This comes in clear or a universal tint. I have both. 40 minutes waterproof, but I find at least 4-6 hours waterproof w/ setting spray applied on top.

I am so over wearing makeup anymore---just use my skincare and put eyebrows on--a thing from my chemo days---and that is it!! I don't go anywhere and ESPECIALLY not eatting in restaurants and won't until things clear up---maybe years before that happens.

I always wear makeup except for when I'm at home on lazy days. Today I'm not going anywhere but will be zooming with my kids soon and I put on both makeup (light foundation, blush, lipstick, mascara & eyeliner) as well as earrings.....I like feeling put together.

I would never go out to eat without feeling pulled together...but that's how I am.

I don’t go out much due to my risk factors. When I do I wear tinted SPF & do my eyes & brows. Just not using that much makeup right now.
