QOTD: Do you reapply?
On a typical work day, I’m done my makeup routine by 6 a.m. Early I know. But that’s the life this makeup mama leads. The makeup I put on at that time is what is on my face for the rest of the day. I don’t reapply anything during the day except for lipstick and/gloss after I’ve had lunch, and powder to try and ward off the shine. That’s it.
The funny thing is I bring a whole whack of makeup with me to work — blush, sometimes bronzer, lip pencil, and other assorted things that remain in my makeup bag. Unused. I don’t know why I do it. If anything, all this makeup does is weigh down my purse. Maybe it’s like my security blanket. LOL.
So over to you. Do you touch up your makeup during the day? If so, what do you do? Do you bring makeup with you when you go to work/school/out & about and do you use it all?

Oh my God! I do the same thing. I have all this mascara and eyeliner and stuff that I NEVER reapply (except lipgloss). I always wonder why I still keep it in my purse too lol.
I will say though, it is handy when I spend the night at my boyfriend's. Then I have make-up to wear the next day.

i'm the same! i always grab almost all of my makeup on my way out, but the only thing i ever reapply is a bit of powder or some lipgloss!

OMG you're like me.. I carry around a heavy make up bag in my purse with me everywhere, but I only really reapply my lip conditioner and lipstick throughout the day. But it just FEELS safe knowing the rest of the make up army is there, just in case you need it hah..

Only ever reapply lipstick…or touch up eyeliner if its been a bit of a mad night out!

I don't even bother bringing stuff with me anymore, if not for lipgloss.
I keep my make-up as it is, cos I go to university, so who cares?
However, if I go back home for at least 30 mins I touch up my foundation.

I only re-use my eye pencil and my powder if i go out after uni. I don't touch up during my school day.

LOL. I used to do that. But seriously, now I only carry powder, blotting sheets, and my lipstick and gloss of the day. I do carry 2-3 lip balms though lol. But honestly, I definitely don't remember to reapply or touch up anything during one day, lol. There are many times I totally forget. If I do touch up, then I usually blot, apply a little powder & refresh my lipstick at the same time which recently has been on my way home on the bus, if at all lol.

that's a really good question. the only thing i apply throughout the day is lip balm, most of the time i'm too lazy to do lipstick/gloss. however, if i plan to go out later that night, i reapply practically everything on my face: highlighter eyeshadow, powder for shine, some blush to wake me up, mascara to make lashes even bigger, eyeliner for that night time look…

Hi Michelle!
Funny enough I do exactly the same! I bring a stash of make up to work even though i apply it before I even leave home! so i guess it is a security blanket, just in case my friends call to go out after work!
But i always have my mac select moisture cover concealer (i love), mac paintpot in rubenesque, the usual eyeliners and mascara, not forgetting my mac blusher, sunbasque… i guess i dont feel content without dragging it all with me wherever i go!

I bring lipbalm with SPF 15… that's usually it. For going out, I bring all my lip products. XD
Aug 29, 2009 @ 16:43:49
I don't retouch, I'm far too lazy for that and I only carry my lipstick or whatever product I am using on my lips that day. Sometimes I touch up my lipstick and other times I don't bother.
Aug 29, 2009 @ 17:37:08
I have my make up bag with me and i retouch if i have the time..Sometimes more than once:))But i dont make my face up every day at work,i may go without any at all!!

i'm exactly the same. my makeup bag (a small MAC, the one with the blue liner) contains a cream e/s, a cream blush, an eyeliner, solid perfume, a lip balm, aveda blue oil, some brushes, lip gloss, MAC blot powder and a few other things (i didn't know i could cram so much in there either) – but usually i only ever end up using the blot powder mid-afternoon and whatever lippie i happen to have that day with me.
i did a fun EOTD – come check it out… it took a while, because the liner work is a bit tricky, but it was fun!

It depends on what I'm doing. I'll often touch up my lippy. If I'm going out again, after a long day, I'll touch up my foundation. My eye shadow lasts until I take it off thanks to my Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer.

I'm totally like you… my makeup is done really early, & even if my purse is full of makeup, I NEVER reapply, except for lipstick or lipgloss (of course).
Aug 29, 2009 @ 21:27:38
I keep some lip products and an eyeshadow palette or two at work to touch up. My eye makeup doesn't fade much, so I only touch up when I want more colours
I only carry around in my bag a lip balm and a lipgloss
Aug 29, 2009 @ 21:40:23
I touch up my lip liner, lipstick, gloss during the day. I do always bring way too much makeup with me when I'm out & about and usually never end up using it!

Haha I do the same! I guess it's for the security of knowing IF you need a touch up you are able to.. but most of the time for me I don't
