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

July 14, 2018 By Siobhan Leave a Comment · Affiliate Disclosure Policy

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.

Product of the Month for September

Well hello, my darlings. I am so excited to tell you about the product that I’ve recently started using this month. I’ve written before about the condition of my skin so finding a good foundation with great coverage and a natural look has been challenging for me. I need something that isn’t too heavy or greasy. Like a lot of us, I like to appear natural without actually being natural. I also look for something that I can wear everyday and won’t break the bank every time I need to replace it.

I have so much makeup and sometimes I don’t touch it for a while. Well, makeup expires just like anything else we eat or use. It’s important for us to know when we need to throw out our makeup so we don’t risk any kind of infection. I did a little research so we all could keep track of how long to keep our makeup. Makeup Expiration

Expiration Tip:

I like to write the date that I open a product on a blank mailing label and stick it on my makeup products. Using the chart below along with the dates on my products, I can make sure that I don’t keep my makeup past the expiration time. The last thing I need is an infection. That is not a good look.
