My work-from-home routine is what makes me feel like myself these days.  For on-camera calls, at a minimum I apply:

Foundation

Setting Powder

Brow Powder

Mascara

Blush

Lips

If I have a little extra time I'll include:

Concealer

Bronzer

Tightline my eyes

Add Lash Primer

Only if I have to work in the office I go all out and add:

Eyeshadows

I do Bobbi Brown's 5 minute face most days:

Skincare/SPF

Tinted SPF or tinted moisturizer

Mascara (my glasses mean no other eye makeup needed)

Blush

Lip Gloss

For full face if going to work or out at night:

I add concealer, maybe stick foundation (Westman Atelier), Givenchy Prime Libre setting powder (purchased the mini at the last Sephora sale and most of it still left...use so little), eyeliner (Urban Decay 24/7 navy, charcoal or dark brown as a tightline), lip liner and maybe lipstick under the gloss.

I'm always very minimal with makeup.

@Shanus  I've been thinking of trying a tinted moisturizer and wanted your feedback regarding Bobbi Brown vs Laura Mercier vs NARS. Do you use either in place of a daytime moisturizer or in addition to?Thanks!

@LuvSoCal  Bobbi brown discontinuted the tinted moisturizer i wore for decades and replaced it with a Vitamin Enriched Skin Tint...no coverage and quite greasy. I have tried the Laura Mercier, but found it difficult to get one light enough that wasn't very yellow or pink (I need a neutral fair color). I haven't tried the Nars.

I use a great one from Dr. Jart (Sephora) that has good coverage for just being a tinted moisturizer and has color correcting properties. I'm on my second tube.

In summer or if my skin feels like it has enough hydration, I skip the moisturizer and go straight to the tinted moisturizer. My SPF has a bit of moisturizing properties, too. In winter or dry skin days, I use a lightweight moisturizer from Kiehl's before my sunscreen and then after the spf apply the Dr. Jart.

Hope this helps.

For me, either Laura Geller Balance & Brighten, or Dr. Denese Tinted Day Cream, followed by blush and lip color. 

I've mentioned before...my lashes and brows are still dark, and I wear dark-framed glasses so I don't "need" mascara & eyeliner just to run errands. Blush & lip color brighten my face up enough, and I usually wear them even if I'm just staying around the house!

@Shanus I have tried some Dr Jart that I like (tiger green cream). I will look for the tinted moisturizer to compare to Mercier and NARS.

I am a make up wearer pretty much all the time but don't feel uncomfortable without it.  If I have on lip products and my glasses I look fine.  The problem would be my hair, it is short but wild man if I don't style it.  My husband calls me rooster most mornings as I descend the stairs.

Since I work from home, I'm just wearing sunscreen and lip balm while at home or running errands - 90% of the time.

If I have to go into the office or meet a client, I will do a full face - minus false lashes.  I've been doing the one-eye shadow thing though.

@monicakm  - When wearing lashes, I always add a coat of mascara to get that blended look you're talking about.

I thought I answered this but with the drugs I'm on, perhaps not.  Yes, it's common/preferred to wear mascara with false lashes to blend them.  I don't because my lashes are so incredibly short from not removing my false lashes correctly.  Have someone look at yours when you apply lashes to see if they show or not.

Thanks @monicakm!. Yes, you did!  when I re-posted my Q elsewhere later.  This was the original Q, which you only saw today.  You must get a lot of flags.  Thanks so much!

And thanks to @San Antonio Gal for your input.  That's what I thought,
