I never go to work without doing my makeup and hair - eek! Even if it means 5hrs sleep before I need to get up.

Today I'm wearing a cobalt blue nail polish so in addition to my black upper lashline liner (slightly winged/flicked) the lower lashline is lined with bright blue!

I never, ever, ever go to work without doing my makeup and hair and the minute I see chipped nail polish I change it. I pretty much always do a full face of makeup with either a foundation or BB cream and for my hair, I either blow dry my hair straight or curl it. As soon as I get home I wash my face off and get into my sweats for the night.

Right now I'm wearing Essie Lights on my nails with an ombre pattern on both ring fingers and I did a look with UD's chopper and black eyeliner on my top lashline and brown on my lower lashline.

the bare minimum for me is doing my hair (which includes washing + blow drying every 2-3 days), moisturizer, and eyeliner. on days when I hvae more time or more effort, I do the mascara/lipstick/blush/eyeshadow routine, but not too often.

i think working women have it much easier than non working ones.. in this dept. you have to look human.. cuz it matters to those around you

ya sure it matters to the toddlers too but not like they can fire you.. whoever will give them the bottle tehn eh?!

My 5 days routine is very much close to yours but I give time to myself and to my daughter on weekends and two days are enough for my skin care, hair and other important tasks.
I also try to meet my friends, hang out or to learn something new in cooking on weekends.:slight_smile:

I do my hair every day and put on a dash of lipstick. Luckily I have a smooth, even toned skin, so I can get by with just moisturizer. On those meh days, I apply a dab of concealer.

khawa is right.....if you are working outside of the home it does make it easier cuz you are pretty much forced to do certain things.....you can't just get away with the super-comfy, pj look.

I do the standard....make-up everyday......sometimes am lazy about the hair though.....so will tie it up in a messy bun or tidy pony tail if I get lazy....

This has reminded me to put on a bit of a slap for my hubbie tomorrow!

I wear my usual makeup to work most days, if I am feeling lazy I'll just wear some concealer under my eyes. That's the bare minimum for me, I deal with members of the public and I don't want to subject them to my zombie face :(

For work I wash and blow-dry my hair (every other day), put moisturizer/sunblock, apply lipstick, spritz of perfume and ready to go.
On weekend I add light eye makeup and jewelry.
I have always kept makeup and products on my skin to minimum and the benefit is that my my skin is fresher/better than many girls in their 20s.
