Some of you look (like mel0622) like you've spent hours in a m/u artists chair on your fotd's...would be neat if people started putting the time it took to do their faces on their fotd.

LOL

I think the longest I've taken is probably 30 minutes...but it's usually worth the extra time when I do take that long. I've only become a "makeup person" in the last couple of years...before that my only makeup was my tan and some carmex! LOL

Most days, about 10 minutes for powder foundation (eraser, foundation and finishing powder), mascara and gloss.

regular daily around the house makeup: 5 minutes or so
to go to the store or on errands: 10 minutes
to go out, when I actually bother to take my time: 15 minutes, never more than 20.

Between 5 and 10 minutes on work days. Though sometimes I do take longer if I'm going out afterwards or have a special event.

The most I think was 50-60 minutes. The least was 10 (actually today... I woke up late for an interview! :|) On a daily basis, around 25 minutes. Hmm, I feel slow.

If I was to average out my time I'd say about 20mins.

I can take as little as about 5mins to as much as 45mins depending on the look.

heck if I am doing something more complicated and I am taking my time I could be doing it for about an hour.


I am known for taking 2hours to get ready from shower to finish! On a good day it's just an hour. My hair takes up most of my time.

I guess im one of the few that takes 2 hours to get ready, regardless of where im going. Thats from in the shower to out the door. If im not taking a shower then about 30 minutes. I like my makeup to look nice, regardless of colors and i work better when im not rushed, when it comes to makeup.

So yes, i really do have to wake up 2 1/2-3 hours before i have to be somewhere, just so i have time to get ready then time to get there...but im use to it.

Depends on how much time I have. It's between 15 - 45 minutes, but I love to do the longer version

Weekdays I usually spend about 10-15 minutes for concealor, foundation, basic eye, blush and Lipstick. Weekends or special occasions when it needs to be perfect about 45 minutes to an hour.

because i basically only wear mascara to class (yea for letting your skin breathe!) - sometimes eyeliner - when i DO get a chance to wear make up, it takes about 40 minutes, and that's everything...foundation, concealer, bronzer, MSF, brows, full eye make up, etc...if i am going out though, i usually wear lashes and do more detailed eye looks, so probably another 15 mins...
