I'm already wearing full makeup twice a week, and more for Zoom meetings! I keep telling myself I don't need any more makeup, but yeah - that hasn't happened!

I always wear full makeup every day the same as I shower, eat and workout and not just when I go anywhere. I do it for me and not to impress others when going anywhere!!! I would have to be pretty darn sick not to. Also the makeup I wear is skincare and without any my face would feel ucky and itchy especially with a mask on.

I have not worn full makeup in so long that I don't even remember how!!! When I was still working I used to get so tired of it and think it was a pain. But now I miss it!!!! I had days when after I did all my makeup I thought --- hey, you look really good! Other days even after I finished I was not happy with the result!

Since virus, the only thing I've worn is lip balm! My favorite makeup item was always lipstick -- I must have 40 lipsticks and glosses, at least!

We still have to wear masks pretty much every place we go. Since I have so many skin issues, I don't want to wear foundation, powder, blush, and all that, and then smother my skin with a mask, because I get so hot!

But lately I've been wanting to get back in the groove somewhat. I have been posting here about wanting to try new eye shadow sticks, getting my eyebrows tinted (possibly), buying new mascara, etc.! I am tired of looking just ------- blah!!!!

I have enjoyed not wearing makeup the last 15 months! Don't know if I'll ever return to wearing 'a full face' of makeup except for very special occasions. It's been so freeing. I've always hated wearing makeup, but always did because I felt I needed it. Now I don't.

If I ever do decide to start wearing makeup again, I'll need to buy all new stuff and start all over again.

I was just thinking the other day that I haven't

worn make-up for so long unless recently going to grands birthdays or any celebrations with family I basically live with though separate.

I don't have eye shadow I really love right now. It was always fun to look for it in stores and I haven't been to look for a while.

What I really kind of miss is wearing jewelry everyday-I have so many pretty things that I loved to wear.

These days it is a lot about practicality, and getting thru the day.

I help with family a lot so it just becomes not a priority.

And that's ok too. There are mny joys in other things.

I wear full makeup everyday. I don't feel dressed until I put it on.

Wearing very little makeup has been liberating for me. I have gotten comfortable enough with going out of the house with very little makeup on, even without a mask. Going forward I won't be wearing it like I use to, except for special occasions. My skin looks healthy!

No, I wore a full face of makeup when I was working and it wasn't something I enjoyed. I pretty much stopped wearing makeup when I retired, except for special occasions. I'm taking makeup with me to the shore, but I may not wear it the entire time we're there.

Will you wear a full face of makeup when masks are worn less?

I love the beautiful looks that can be achieved plus blush and of course lipstick .

@ECBG Good morning. I always wore minimal makeup (except weh working on clients, I did a full face...as an example). During full time maske wearing, my minimal routine became much less and was concealer, brows, blush and colored lip balm or a lip stain I used a lip liner to fill in, balm on top.

When I'm going out w/ DH or somewhere special, since masks can now be removed in restaurants and around my family, I've added back my tinted moisturizer and minimal eye makeup (shadow and liner). That IS my full everyday face.

I've never worn a full face makeup. A little foundation, blush and maybe some mascara. That's it. If I'm hanging around the house or going to the gym I don't wear anything but moisturizer. If I plan on stopping somewhere afterwards I put on a bit. More places don't require a mask anymore so I don't want to frighten young children and animals.
