How do you apply face before heading out? State what you would do on a normal day (uni and work) and when going out with friends at night.

For me (in order):

Normal day:
* sunscreen
* my daytime mascara, just enough to darken my lashes, not too dramatic
* eyebrow pencil to darken brows
* lip gloss or lipstick (optional, depending on my mood in the morning)

Going out:
* Sunscreen
* Blemish balm (it's like a concealer, foundation and moisturiser in one)
* Darken eyebrows with eyebrow pencil and a bit of shadow
* Black eye shadow
* Black eye liner, only on top
* a more dramatic mascara that lengthens and curls (I apply a volumising one before applying another layer of a lengthening one)
* lipstick (mostly), lip gloss (sometimes) <- depends on outfit

Normal day:

tinted moisturiser with SPF
loose powder on T-zone area
mascara (same as for going out but used a bit more sparingly)
blush if I'm looking especially pale or tired that day
lip balm

going out:

tinted moisturiser and powder as normal
blush
couple extra layers of mascara
lipstick or gloss

I don't really like wearing eyeshadow or liner and only do it rarely if I want to look extra glammed up, otherwise it's pretty much my normal routine but I take more care with it (so about 10 mins instead of 2)

What do you use to get it off? And what do you take with you when going out for top-ups?

if i'm having a really good skin day when i'm tanned and it looks flawless, then nothing.

however if anything needs covering up i go the whole routine.

mineral foundation
concealer
lots and lots of mascara
bit of blush
balm

night time:

foundation
concealer/highlighter
illuminator
lots bronzer/blush
lots of eyeliner
just a smear of eyeshadow usually, but sometimes go all out with smokey eyes etc
false eyelashes with even more mascara on top


so lots and lots of makeup.

Either moisturiser/sunscreen/cocoa butter everyday, whatever is closest to me

I've been starting to wear a little bit of brown eyeshadow to highlight my eyes a little more.

That's it p much, I don't like/wear make up.

For me;

Work:

Mineral foundation or any foundation with powder
concealer,
mascara,
blush,
lipstick.
I may put a bit of pink and a nude colored based eye shadow.

Uni -
Tinted or foundation + sunscreen.
Powder (only if liquid foundation is used),
concealer,
mascara,
blush and a bit of shimmer bronze
lipstick or lip gloss. Eyeshadow sometimes or eye pencil instead (brown works best).

Going out -
Pretty much the same with face application (foundation i tend to use one for medium coverage),
powder and concealer,
eye shadow (in three colours, i'll show you a way on how to use it if interested),
eye pencil (in blue or green), i don't have liquid eyeliner since i had bad experiences, but will get one soon!
mascara (a few coats)
blush and a hint of bronzer.
lipstick and lip gloss plus lip pencil.

Overall - my musts are mascara, blush, powder, and lipstick.

What do you use to get it off? And what do you take with you when going out for top-ups?
i take my eye makeup off with lancome bi facil remover (best ever) and the rest comes off with my evening mario badescu cleanser

and i dont touch my face ever so i dont need touch ups, but i carry pressed powder for oiliness and whatever lipstick i'm wearing
how long does all that take?
i've actually got it down to a fine art, never takes me longer than 20 mins to do my makeup
