i was referring to a woman i used to work with.. she used to wear an almost orange tinted foundation (i lived in FL and she was a bit overtanned)... but anyways, it was just a joke... sorry

I love mineral makeup. So quick and easy and looks natural. I have very dry skin and have to moisturize my face every night and a light moisturizer in the morning. Brush on the makeup, mascara and light swipe of lipstick. I wear my hair down, but it just touches my shoulders. I iron my scrubs the night before (just a habit I have never been able to break). White Nikes and away I go.

Solid, usually brightly colored scrubs that get the dryer-iron treatment while I shower. My hair is long and thick, and I usually wear it up in a ponytail. I've worn it down maybe 5 times at the most in the last year - and usually on nights when I had it straightened for something I did before work. Makeup is rare.

Seems if I do my hair and makeup for work, I'm just asking to have a pair of patients on contact and droplet precautions, or for someone to code - I don't think it's failed yet!

Have to wear makeup!!!! Horrid at this age al naturale ,but I try to achieve a' minimal 'makeup look. Very flexible dress code, I'm a standard scrub pants, sneaks or crocs, cottonshirt/scrub coat kind a girl, I like to keep lots of crap in my pockets.. hair short, I hate hair in my face, when my hair was longer, always pulled it back min jewelry, wedding band, post earrings, short nails pale or clear polish

I wear foundation and a dusting of powder to set it. I have oily skin, so I need at least the powder. Although, I'm not really complaining about my oily skin-I'm 36 and people at work think I'm about 25/26!

I wear usually a light colored eye shadow and mascara..I admit it, I've been told I have pretty eyes, so I cave in to vanity and like to play them up a bit.

Not really a lipstick girl-I love lip balms and lip gloss with a little color, so I wear that.

My hair is covered by a scrub hat but I love the cute patterned cloth scrub hats...I must have about 30 of them, and am getting more soon.

I do wear earrings, but they are usually small hoops or posts. I will wear necklaces although nothing too big. I usually wear a couple of rings but nothing expensive because I may have to scrub. I don't want to lose them when I take them off.

My scrubs are provided by the hospital. I have my own cloth warm up jackets and I've been wearing Crocs with Jibbitz in them.

I wear my hair in a bun. My makeup includes foundation, loose powder, lipstick, and eyebrow pencil. I know my cosmetic choices might sound excessive, but I receive many compliments from patients, visitors, and coworkers on the manner in which my makeup is applied. Toward the end of a typical 16 hour shift, much of my cosmetics have worn off. I typically wear a small pair of earrings, such as white gold hoops, but nothing ever big and dangly. I always aim to wear my wristwatch while at work.

[GoLytely]

I'm meticulously clean but no matter what scrubs I wear I look slouchy. I keep my hair up in a clip.

[pagandeva2000]

I always wore a bit of foundation, but not too much, do wear lipstick, my hair is usually in a pony.

[krazy_coconuts]

I wear hair in a ponytail and minimal makeup. I do take a little tube of cheek stain with me for a mid-twelve hour shift touch up though, I think a little color on the face makes a big difference and I don't look quite as tired as I feel.

For those of you that wear mineral makeup, where do you get it/ what brand do you use?

i use benefit. it's the best. you get it at sephora. its a little pricy, but it awesome. www.sephora.com my daily makeup routine for work takes less than 5 minutes.

my work makeup (all from benefit):
-eye bright pencil.. its a transparent pink pencil and it really perks up tired eyes
-bad gal lash (mascara)
-dr. feelgood... its a primer balm that you put on your skin, it moisturizes and leaves you with a healthy glow
-dallas (powder)... it gives you this really nice rosy tint to your cheeks with just a tiny bit and it lasts all night
-california kissin (lip balm)... its sheer and it gives you minty fresh breath!
