So for the past 8 or so years, I have worn very minimal make-up. Quite often no eye make-up (except for a little shadow maybe). But since I've started working outside the home, I've worn (eye) make-up everyday.

Is there a part of your daily "make-up" routine that you really dislike?

For me, it's applying the mascara. I hate it. Need it, but hate putting it on. I'm using a mascara from Maybelline, because it's the only one that I've found goes on thick, but doesn't clump.
I hate having the wand near my eyeballs and I hate feeling like there's something in my eye. I also hate having to take a q-tip after the application to wipe off the stuff that's landed on my eyelids.

That's about it. :)

Same here Leah! What would we do with out Q-tips? :giggle
 
hmmmm.... well I only really started to wear make-up about a year ago and I LOVE it! It also helps that my BFF is a make-up fanatic... the thing I hate the most if waiting a little for my face primer to really soak in so that I have a good base to work with. Otherwise I'm good to go. :)
 
I could use mascara, but it always feels weird and I end up rubbing my eyes! I am a weirdo and don't like anything touching my eyes - I can't wear contacts or put in eye drops!
 
I feel like the odd one out. I've worn makeup since high school and I absolutely love it! I guess my least favorite would be foundation, only because I have to make sure it blends well into my skin so I don't look scary. But I love mascara. I never leave the house without it.
 
I don't mind mascara either, and have never used a q-tip if I am being honest! I love make-up as well -but NOT overdone make-up. I want it to look as natural as make-up can look!
 
Eyeliner. I hate using it. I'm pretty blind without my glasses and I like my eyeliner light so... it usually takes me a few tries and putting my glasses back on every so often and checking.

Okay, I take my primer comment back. FOUNDATION is what I hate the most. THe constantly trying to find the right color for my skin and then blending it all out... ugh! That's why I switched to MAC's Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation. It's so easy to apply and although it doesn't have the coverage or staying power that liquid foundation does it's less hassle in the morning. When I'm going out and really want to cover my flaws then I'll use liquid foundation. :)

I worked for a few different makeup manufacturers over the years and so applying make up to my self (and others) was pretty routine... now I just have too much other stuff to do in the morning and at 4 am I just apply a minimum application - spot on foundation, powder foundation maybe a bit of blush, mascara and liner -just on my upper lid and maybe some lip gloss... but I tell you, what I didn't like and don't miss is lip liner! I hated that if you ate or drank anything that wore off your lipstick you'd be stuck with bare lips surrounded by a line of color! not pretty!
