I'm feeling so frumpy these days so I'm going to try to put more effort into my hair and makeup for my days at the office. I leave really early in the morning so I don't want primping to take too long.
What is your work makeup routine and how long does it take?

I feel like it takes a lot to look awake. I need to look awake when I'm meeting clients on a daily basis.
I do moisturize, eye cream, concealer, BareMinerals powder, mascara, blush/bronzer, BareMinerals shadow liner & gloss.
ETA - takes about 20 minutes

Tinted moisturizer, mascara, lipgloss. I try to keep it simple. If I am feeling fancy or meeting with clients, I will add eyeliner. It takes me about 10 minutes, maybe less.

@rachiecakes: How many eyeshadows do you use? Is it just one shade?

i'm on maternity leave now, but i did like putting some makeup on each day to help perk me up. i used concealer, powder, eyebrow pencil, blush, and lipstick. it took about five minutes. if i had an extra minute or two, i would also do eyeshadow (just one shade) and eyeliner.

it's just a liner, but it's powder so you can blend it or use it wet to make a darker/harder line

@Mrs. Jacks: What level of SPF do you wear daily? My moisturizer has SPF 15 but I think I need more!

@autumnlove: I swear by spf30. I am convinced that daily use has made a huge difference over the last 10 years ( I started in my mid twenties).

@MsLipGloss: Which one do you use? I can't find one that doesn't make me look chalky! I love my La Roche Posay but it is only SPF 15.

My fast version takes me about 5 minutes.
moisturizer
korres mineral powder
bronzer applied to temples & under cheekbones and I use it as my eye shadow
blush
mascara
If I want to put more on, it takes me about 10 minutes. I add eyeliner, fill in my brows and wear eye shadow (2 shades, one on the lid and one in the crease)

@autumnlove: I am currently using Obagi. But I also love Eucerin daily (i think that's what it's called).

I have a not so glamarous job so usually chapstick/or gloss and well groomed brows. If im feeling fresh, eyeliner. So like 5 mins or so.

Mine is pretty quick - maybe 5-7 minutes. I do a powder foundation, concealer and blush, and then eyeliner and mascara. I keep tons of lipstick and gloss in my desk at work so I do that later.

Nothing at all. I imagine if I put more effort into it maybe I'll feel a little better about myself. Something I'm going to try.

5 minutes, maybe
Serum
Moisturizer (no tint unless I need it)
Blush
Eyebrow pencil
Eye liner
Shadow (I'm obsessed with the Naked Palette. I use 2-3 colors and they blend together SO easily. I'm still impressed by my new skills lol)
Mascara
Lip liner+lipstick+gloss (at work in the parking lot)
Lately I also swipe on a bit of bronzer and highlighter in a strategy to slim my face, which a makeup artist taught me.
Looks like a lot but I'm fast. I wear glasses at work so I do a lot to my eyes
