I love doing make-up. How long I can wear make-up?

Question

I wear make-up to office i.e foundation, lipstick & apply kajal. I work for 9 to 12 hours a day in office. Is it ok if I wear make-up for such long periods ?

Answer 1

My sister does makeup for clients. She says cheap makeup is best removed after less than eight hours. Some of the Maybelline and Cover Girl cosmetics are designed for over twelve hours.

Answer 2

Yeah its fine for you to wear makeup that long. As long as when you go to sleep you wash your face. Also make sure to moisturize and follow your daily skin care system before applying makeup. Try to wear a foundation and powder that is good for your skin such as Lancome, Clinique, E. Lauder. Avoid foundation from MAC, smashbox, and max factor these are all studio makeup and should be worn only for a short period of time, not all day.

Also I dont know if you knew this but wearing foundation is good for you because it acts like a wall between your skin and the environment. So smoke, and smog that is in the air will cling to your foundation and not your face, which is why it is very important for you to wash your face every night.

I hope that this helps

I don't know what kajal is, but it's fine to wear make up that long. The new mineral makeups even advertise that they are safe to wear to bed - one even has a new product made specifically to wear to bed as a treatment during the night - it's awesome!

Answer 4

It's okay to wear makeups even for a long period of time. First impression is made by how you look. Beautiful and healthy skin is the most important part of a great look and is the first step in looking great. Protect your skin from sun damage. UV light is primarily responsible for speeding up skin aging. Wear make-up that contains a sunscreen, or use a sun-protective moisturiser every day, even during winter. Wash off your make­up before retiring to bed otherwise the panicles will clog your skin-pores preventing the skin from inhaling fresh air.

I wear makeup all day and my day goes from 8 - 11pm. Use a nice moisturizer under your foundation like Olay's Total effects.

Sometimes you makeup won't last as long as you do. Mary Kay makes a great cream to put on your eyelids to help your shadow last - it really works! Keep a compact of light face powder to freshen up and keep off the glare.

Answer 7

Ew. Thats gross. 12 hours a day wearing all that cake is just nasty. Let your face breathe for once. My mom always told me that if you were tons of makeup you will look a lot older than your age because of all the chemicals you put on your face. Might be okay if your 20 trying to look 24, but if your 60...then youll look 80.

Answer 8

You can wear makeup as long as you want. The best advise I could give you is to be sure to use an excellent skin care regimen. I highly suggest Mary Kay skin care. It is the number one brand in skin care and with the right products, can make your face wonderful, no matter what make up you wear or how long!!! You should check that out!

Answer 10

Sure. I would reccommend washing it thouroughly when you get home each night though. Make sure to take care of your skin too with moisturizer etc. The bare minerals make-up can even be worn while you are sleeping, it's that gentle on the skin. If you are worried try that.
