make up?

Do you wear make up to work?

I don't wear make up during clinicals because it just feels yucky on my skin after 13 hour shifts

    I always wore some make-up and when the mineral powder make up became available it made it easier to freshen up on break....but no perfume.

    Hi. I generally do not wear make-up to work (I make sure to use a great facial cleanser, which makes my skin glow. eventually make up may be a must in my life, LoL! but right now, occasional needs only), but a friend of mines wore the mineral powder make up like Esme mentioned and loves it. I didnt even know she was wearing make up and just thought she had great skin. She also said it was really light.

    Looking good is another morale boost in a line of work where your morale often needs boosting.

    I wear long wearing makeup that just needs a powder touchup at lunchtime and some fresh lipstick.

    I always wear makeup to work because I look rather scary without it.

    I am an African-American female with a medium-colored complexion and a condition called postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. I have small scars on my face that are several shades darker than my own skin tone, and I faithfully apply foundation and loose powder to give my facial skin a smooth finish with an even-appearing hue. I also wear a conservative shade of lipstick.

    At present I'm happy that I have pretty good skin so I don't really need to wear a ton of makeup. Usually just wear some concealer over any blemishes. Sure that'll change some day soon lol.

    "That nurse must care about me. She's wearing makeup."

    I think they know you care when you show that you know what you're doing.

    I work nights and my skin just revolts if I put make-up on. I do microderm and peels so that I can get away without wearing any makeup but not be completely scary.

    I wear concealor under my eyes or people ask me what's wrong. A little eyeliner and mascara and that's usually it. Sometimes mineral makeup but I don't really have a good color match on that so usually just skip it.

    I didn't wear it. At almost 48 years old, I've got no wrinkles (and I spent my fair of time in the sun as a teenager to mid 20s...) :D
