how much time do you spend on your make-up everyday?

Question

i was wonderring how much time i should be spending on my make-up everyday. it usually takes me about 30min to do my make-up starting from applying the toner. is this too long? if so, any make-up tips to shorten the time? this would be helpful especially for the preparation time in the morning :-)

Answer 1

5-7 minutes

Apply foundation with clean fingertips, blush on apples of my cheeks, highlighter shadow on the entire lids, slightly darker color on lids up to crease, darkest color in the crease and right along my lash line (top and bottom), curl lashes, apply mascara, finish off with glossy lips.

If I'm going out, then I'll use eye liner but I like using shadow to line my lashes for the day time... it looks more natural.

The key is having everything in one place and brushes for each step (I have a blush brush and three for my eye shadow). Using good products ensures that you'll look good even if you move through it quickly. Plus the more you practice with one look the easier it is (obviously you can change colors but use the same routine).

Answer 2

When I get up in the morning, the first thing I do is cleanse, tone, and moisturize (I shower at night to cut the time in everything in the morning). While that sets, I get dressed and eat breakfast. Then I apply my makeup, which rarely takes longer than 10 minutes. I really love mineral makeup because it's a foundation and powder in one step and it's a real time-saver. I spend more time on my lips and eyes than I do on my skin (except for the cleansing and toning). 10 minutes is all I need and I'm out the door!

Answer 3

I can spend as much as half an hour on my makeup, but usually for work it's just fifteen minutes. I moisturise, use an eye cream, and then apply a moisturising radiance booster as a primer. Then, I put on my foundation. Really lightly because I hate the caked face feeling.
I spend the most time doing my eyeshadow, because I like to experiment with colours and be different every day. I don't use eyeliner because it closes up my eyes, and I always use lashings of mascara.
Lastly, bronzer or blush.
But yeah, you get quicker with practice. It used to take me ages to get my makeup done, because I never wore it. Just keep practicing.

Answer 4

i spend about 5 to 10 mins my motto is less is best i use a bit of foundation mixed with my moisturiser to even skin tone out then bit shadow on eyes mascara quick brush of bronzer all over my face then some lippy but i do take a bit longer if im going out at night xo

Answer 5

i reckon your make up time includes the time getting our skin ready to put the make up on huh...
for me.... i wash my face, apply toner, apply moisturizer and eye cream. and if there's no big event or no hideously big and red pimple, i'm done!
otherwise, i would dab on concealor and then powder foundation and that's it.
if there's a dinner or something, i would use concealor, followed by foundation, blusher, eye colour, mascara, lip colour and finally finishing powder to set my make up.
so actually, my make up time will range from less than 5 minutes to around 20 minutes max.

Answer 6

my mom's an exotic dancer so over the years i learned alot about hair, make-up, clothes, everything you need to know ect...ect... it really depends on the person, what you feel comfortable with , and where your going . if you are going to work or some family or friend get together you wouldn't make your self look like your going out to have a good time on friday ,saturday nite, ect, you would want to look natural and probly have a more conservative look, if your trying to look good or set the tone with your b/f or going to the club with friends then theres no limit as long as you feel comfortable with it! make up is all about exspression and to bring out your nautural beatiful features like you mite have pretty lips, or pretty eyebrow shapes, or nice eyes all make is supose to do is enhance those natural features so....every one is going to have a different make-up time -frame for example, if im just going to work i usually spend about an 1-2 tops but thats because i do every thing from my hair to my eye make up to, lipstick, lip gloss lipline , and take my time i also allow time and plan ahead so that way i dont feel rushed to in the morning and usally if im just doing the family thing or freind thing i usually take about 1-2 hours tops but i just know how long it takes me and so i know how much time it takes , and prepare my make-up in the order i use it in and grab kind of like for ex: i'll put my combs, brushs, hair gel, mouse, and eye make up all in the manner in which i pick them up and use them it saves time but agin we all dont use the same products so...it really depends on you and what you feel comfortable with!! I am very "HIGH MAITENENCE" so....it naturally takes me a while and as you get your own rythem down then it just ocme like second nature!!! hope that helps!!!!oh and also some products out there help you save time too it just depends on what you want to do!!

Answer 7

I take 5-10 minutes. You can find products that are a 3-in-1, for lip, cheek, and eye. A cute pink would be good, and fast, to just dab on your eyelid, apple of your cheeks, and lips.

Answer 8

its not too long. try skipping the eyeliner and go straight to mascara, and while youre at it. try clear mascara and double it was a brow gel. only do tinted lipgloss instead of liner, stick then gloss. and try only one all over eyeshadow instead of a base, highlighter and crease. of course, this is just to cut the time but if you really wanna look hot then that takes more time of course.

Answer 9

on a normal day it takes me about 10 min. to do my makeup

Answer 10

yah it kinda is a long time.......just try maybe mascara and a little gloss or something...it takes me 5-10 min tops......and it is natural and pretty
