How Long Does it Take For You to Do Your Makeup?

How long does it take for your daily routine vs special occasions? Do you put on a full face of makeup every day or do you save that for special occasions? Do you keep your daily makeup routine short and sweet or do you go all out? I’d like to know.

How Long it Takes My Daily Routine

I do a lot less for my daily routine than I do for special occasions. My daily routine usually takes me about 10 minutes or so. I use Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse after I put on my primer. It’s great for everyday wear. During the week I typically wear very neutral eyeshadow to work. If I really like my outfit, my eyeshadow will match it. Sometimes I will throw some glittery browns in the mix.

I ran into CVS one day to grab a prescription and as soon as I walked through the door I saw a sale table. There were all kinds of makeup products on this table. I grabbed a cut little Nyx eyeshadow palette and I fell in love with it.

How Often Do You Shop For Makeup?

I’m so curious to find out how often other makeup lovers shop for makeup. Do you shop every week? Once a month? Whenever something needs to be replaced?

I have some friends that only shop when they need to. And, I have others that shop as often as they can and really don’t need a reason. Plus, there are those that are in MAC or Sephora everytime a new product is released. Being a mom of 2 boys, having a full-time job, a blog, and an Etsy store to maintain, I fall somewhere in the middle of all this.

Do you ever do something that surprises you? Maybe your likes and dislikes have changed or maybe you’re just open to something new. Well that’s what happened to me.
