I've never been into  much make up. I use a light foundation,  liner and false eye lashes. That's my everyday wear. I never got into eye shadow or blushes or lipstick or whatever. I find just my basic 3 tools or perfect for my look. How does everyone else express themselves make up wise. I definitely cannot walk out the door without my lashes though, that is a no, no.

None - daily moisturiser and eye balm dont count, or do they? :)

Basically none, these days... which is so odd to me when I think of it, since I loved makeup early on, but now it's a hassle and I like sleeping in. ;) I will do eyeshadow and eyeliner and lipstick for public appearances (TV, panel discussions, etc.) and very occasional parties, and that's about it.

I don't know my eyes feel totally naked without liner and lashes, like I'd catch pneumonia or something.

Hippie are not really "hip" anymore... even hipsters aren't :). Rumours say trans is the new hip thing :)

Sorry, too much red vine for me :)

Hippies just went underground for awhile so society could try to catch up . they will return when the time is right.

yea, I sweat way too much when it gets hot. All I can do is lashes and eyeliner

Very little but then I live in FLorida where you sweat most of the time.

On a regular day I don't wear make up. If I'm going somewhere special I'll put on light foundation, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, some blush and lip tint. I always keep my toe nails painted and some times my finger nails, but I end up having to remove the finger nail polish if I'm going on a job interview. My avatar is without makeup.

I still think makeup is interesting.  My routine is moisturizer, sunscreen, mascara, lip stain and maybe a little gloss.  If I'm going out it depends on with whom and where.  Ask me to dinner somewhere nice, and I'll add a little foundation, a scent, and a bit of liner and shadow.  If I want to impress you, it's off to the spa for a mani, a petti, and a facial.

Probably good for my bank account that I'm usually not too interested in making much of an impression.   ;)

I began this journey when I began to think, but it took what it took for me to truly understand the what and the why of authenticity.  I'm grateful to have found a path that works and to live as I have always dreamed.

The dates are unimportant and are quite stale now.  The journey to truth is fresh and never ends.

forgot the nail polish, I always have nail polish on.

None as a rule.

The only time I've ever really worn makeup is when meeting members of the Royal family - and yes I really have on several occasions, most recently when Princess Anne visited our medical school, and I had a five minute one on one conversation with her about various medical topics that I have an interest in, and about which she was surprisingly well informed.

It depends, but most of the time I don't wear any make-up. Sometimes I use a little foundation to cover up some skin problems which are caused by the frequent close shaving.

Quite a bit. I can't expect to pass unless I contour. And besides, makeup is fun!
Started HRT in October, 2014. Orchiectomy in August, 2015. Full-time in July, 2016!

foundation, liner, mascara, blush and lips..and a wig if that counts as makeup. Hopefully HRT will soften things a bit and I can skip some of that.

Depends.  If I'm not leaving the house, none.  If I'm going to the store during the day, a little.  If I'm going to a concert or a nice dinner, then out comes the mascara.  If it's been too long between electrolysis sessions, then it's all about that base.

I'm pretty light with my makeup anymore too.   Eyeliner, eyebrow pencil and fairly neutral lip shimmer is pretty standard, like never leave the house without it standard.   If I'm going to dinner or something then i add mascara.

I haven't worn foundation/powder/blush  in a very long time, I never mastered it and always felt the way I did it made my face look plastic-ey.....  Really need to do a MAC or Sephora session so they can show me what I'm doing wrong lol.
