I almost never wear makeup, mostly because I am lazy and fairly good skin.
Lately I've been thinking it might be nice to put a little makeup on. What do you do?

@kiki I feel like my hair is always a disaster. I'm trying to take more pride in my looks though!

I probably shouldn't answer this because my "beauty" routine is kind of a disaster, but whatever
On a normal day it is just tinted moisturizer, mascara, eyeliner, and a little blush so I don't look like a ghost. I will also use concealer on any blemishes. If I am feeling fancy that day I will maybe do a little eyeshadow as well. And then a very subtle lip gloss.
If I am going to some sort of event (wedding, date night, etc), then I will add foundation and definitely do eyeshadow and a darker lip color.

Oh, forgot to add that my hair is basically a disaster and 9 times out of 10 I will just pull it back in a ponytail.
Someday I will learn how to make my hair look good. Someday!!

For everyday I do, a little concealer on under eye circles, and blemishes, then a neutral eyeshadow, blush, and 3 coats of mascara. It takes about 10 mintues, ooohhh I also have to use eyebrow gel.

Er. On a lucky day I might get to put some leave in moisturizer in my hair and run a comb through it. Slap some moisturizer on and if I'm lucky some body lotion. And out I go!
I'm lazy too and don't care enough.

I try to make sure my hair is done-ish every day because if it's not I look crazy; it also gives me a bit of leniency with everything else. My button-down/yoga pants/converse uniform looks a lot more pulled together when my hair is done.
For makeup I usually rub in some bb cream for SPF, moisture, and a little coverage. Then blush and a swipe of mascara. I feel a ton better about myself with makeup on.

I shower at night and dry my hair before bed. I wake up in the morning and straighten my hair. For makeup, I use a BB cream, under eye concealer, pressed powder, blush, mascara and eyeliner. I also color in my brows a little bit because they're so light. I use a Vaseline lip balm and that's it!
The whole process takes me 15-20 minutes in the morning, including hair time. Probably 10 mins for hair, 5-10 minutes on makeup.

I also shower at night and blow dry my hair before bed. I am looking for a good blow dry spray, and a serum of some sort to smooth on my hair in the mornings.
For makeup, I only use a liquid concealer, Bare MInerals foundation powder and Nars blush. No eye makeup because I wear contacts/glasses and I really don't need it.

I shower in the mornings, wash face in shower. Put on moisturizer right when I get out. For "every day" makeup I use powder foundation (concealer if I need it but not very often), bronzer, neutral eye shadow, brown eye liner on top, and mascara.
If we are going out I will add blush, more color on the eyes, and darker eye liner.
I'm done with my makeup in about 5 minutes.

I shower at night and air dry over night. I straight or curl in the AM if I have time (I have SO much hair). (15 min)
For makeup, I wash, use a day cream and moisturizer, under eye concealer, and spot concealer and sometimes use a bronzer (esp durnig summer). Eyeliner/mascara and fill in my sparse eyebrows and chapstick! (10 minutes)

Most days: just BB cream
Days I'm going somewhere other than Walmart/Target: BB cream, foundation, bronzer/blush, eyeliner, mascara, fill in my eyebrows. If I'm feeling really fancy I'll put on some eyeshadow, but that's happened like once since having a baby.
My hair is curly, so I shower in the morning & then just throw some gel in it, blow it try, then hairspray it to death. Usually only takes 5 minutes!

I don't have great skin, so my routine is pretty much about covering up any pimples, and red marks from old breakouts.
I wear tinted moisturizer (Laura mercer) followed by a mineral powder foundation. Then some bronzer on my cheekbones, forehead, and bridge of my nose (where the sun naturally hits). Blush on cheek bones. Then I curl my eyelashes and put on mascara. For special occasions I add eyeliner and a tinted lip balm.
It's pretty minimal and most people don't think I'm wearing makeup. It mostly just evens and brightens my skin tone.
Oh- for special occasions I add a primer underneath everything. I've actually been looking for an everyday primer that won't torment my skin, because I think they do a lot to minimize pores.

bb cream, powder so I'm not shiny, blush, eyeliner, eye shadow, mascara. Sometimes on Sunday when I don't wash my hair and have a lazy day I just do BB cream and mascara.

Wash my face, Mary Kay Time Wise moisturizer, Clinique BB Cream (the BEST!!) Milano face powder, Rimmel mineral bronzer, NARS orgasm blush, eyebrows, 1 all over eyeshadow color (brulee by MAC) and mascara! This is my every day look.

I shower and blow dry my hair in the morning . . . if I were to wash it at night and let it air dry, the natural wave in my hair really comes out which is fine on the weekend/ when we are on vacation/ or at the beach. But for everyday, it can be a bit much . . . I have fine hair but it's really thick, so it tends to *grow* a little as the day goes on. I say grow instead of frizz because it doesn't frizz, it just gets bigger . . .
For makeup, I wash (Cetaphil with Clarisonic), use a moisturizer with spf (Cerave or Eucerin), apply foundation, spot concealer, and a light dusting of powder to set it, and then apply eyeliner and mascara. I lock my brows into place with clear mascara, and apply some lip gloss (!) as I walk out the door (or at the first red light, hahaha).

Not much...
Shower, mousse hair, blow dry bangs, eyeliner, bronzer. After the shower it takes me all of 5 minutes.
pomelo / 5331 posts
Cetaphil face wash, Boots rosewater toner, Cetaphil oil-free moisturizer for the daytime, nothing at night (I'm on the lookout for a good face cream though).
Mineral powder foundation on blemishes, a once-over of powder for the whole face (sometimes, mainly just for work), Nars Orgasm blush and Bobbi Brown lipstick in sandwash pink. Sometimes mascara. Then I just blot for the day.
For hair... I use an Aveda no-sulfate shampoo, spray with Shea Moisture hold and shine moisture mist, then Aveda Brilliant gel and I usually just sleep on it wet. I don't have time to shower/blowdry my hair in the morning (or rather, I don't want to make time). If I'm going somewhere though, I'll blowdry with a diffuser. Then in the morning I use Aveda curl control to refresh and flat iron my bangs. I usually wash my hair every other night.

Wash my face and moisturize. Then put on BB cream. Eyeliner. Blush. Lipstick or gloss.

After my shower:
apply garnier bb cream, let dry
apply revlon photo ready liquid foundation
then a light brushing of neutrogena bronzer
ELF mineral coral blush on cheek bones
then eye shadow- brown, pink or green look best with my eyes - I user maybelline, CG or ELF.
mascara, eyeliner
chapstick and then a light lip color (ulta or CG).
It really takes about 5-7 minutes, and it's worth it - I feel so much better about myself!

I always always wear concealer under my eyes and a swipe of mascara (unless I'm sick/staying home all day/no one will see me). On a typical day I'll wear concealer, two neutral shades of eyeshadow, a coat of mascara, liquid blush, chapstick, and sunscreen. During maternity leave I added eyeliner to the routine, because it made me feel better about myself.
When I'm going some place fancy or on a date, I'll add eyeliner and then bareminerals powder & blush and lipgloss.
I do little to nothing with my hair. I flat iron it on Sunday night and wear it down or in a ponytail until the next Sunday. (I do shower more often than that, I just don't wash my hair).
ETA: My typical day make-up takes 5 minutes or less.
