I don't really but I didn't either pre babies so it hasn't changed. I make an effort if we go out ie to a restaurant for a nice meal/out with friends etc but only apply lipstick otherwise.
And I always use a fragrance - I loooove smelling nice

I wear mascara almost every day + tinted lip gloss. For work I add a little eye liner and lip liner. Not a foundation fan but I do have some which I wear very occassionally.
I prefer a natural look but don't consider myself attractive so feel more comfortable with my mascara on.

I wear foundation, mascara and bronzing powder every day. I hate my skin (acne from PCOS and also freckles) so makeup makes me look bearable to the public
First thing I did the day after I had Jack was pop on some makeup before we had visitors. Makes me feel a bit more human.

The most make-up I ever wear is a bit of eyeliner. Just not that worried about it! I've never used heaps of it, used to use eyliner and mascara as a younger teen, and the only real difference is - mascara ran out and I can't be bothered replacing it I have so many black eyeliners, and only use it like once a week... will probably last me forever

LOL. Me too!
While I was in labour I took all my makeup off because I didn't want smudged mascara on my face during the first photos. Michaela was born at 8:04pm and I got to maternity ward at 11pm so didn't have any visitors until the next morning but before they turned up I had a shower, brushed my hair and put on some makeup before the cameras came. I'm pleased I did too, looking back on those first photos I looked so drained (not surprising really) but at least the makeup gave me a bit of colour.

The only place I don't wear make up to is playcentre and thats because it kept getting smudged.
I usually wear foundation, bronzer/blusher and mascara. For nights out I will wear eye shadow and eyeliner too.
I think I look way better with make up on too.

I'm lucky, like Flake, to have a clear olive complexion. Plus I have naturally long, thick eyelashes, so no need for mascara!!!!
The only time I have worn makeup in the past year was for my wedding, and the makeup artist only put on a slight dusting of translucent powder, some neutral coloured eyeshadow and a little lip gloss.

I'm too tired to care at the moment 
But a few months after DD1 was born I decided I needed something to make me feel good and since I didn't have any makeup at the time (I was never a makeup wearer at high school/uni/first jobs) I went and splashed on a basic makeup set at the Body Shop. It was loverly! I wore it a bit mroe then - nothing like the thrill of new makeup. But I've fallen out of the habit.
I keep getting inspired to try new stuff though, a friend of mine has started a very cool site about make up and other nice smelly stuff that makes you feel good.
PrettyPrettyPretty is the best site ever!
I wish I lived in Welly sometimes so I could help them test the products!

Oooo Mazz you are mates with the PrettyPrettyPretty people? Jealous. They are cool.
I started wearing make up daily when I got my job but after a couple of months I gave up. Ha.
I only really wear make up when I go out somewhere a bit flash

I went to Uni with Jo - she is pretty cool. I often wondered if you knew her/knew of her, you seem to kind of move in similar circles with craft 2.0 and for some reason I thought you'd know the Wellingtonista crowd too. Total assumptions on my part, and I've never met any of the others except for Jo cos I hardly ever get to Welly these days.
She is the legend who cooked all this amazing food and got it delivered to my doorstep when Keira was born - Welly to Hamilton! It was so cool.
Sorry - total TJ!

The only one of them I know in person is Martha... and that is through internet stalking. hehe Have heard a bit about Jo through M.
I just stare wistfully at the cool kids from afar. 
Sorry for dragging this all further off topic

I'm allergic to just about everything on earth so I have a mineral powder foundation which lasts me months and months (about 9 I think? and costs $70) and I get my eyebrows/lashes done every 4-6 weeks so you can see the stupid things, and that's it for me I imagine my pasty ginger complexion will still need the powder after No.9 is born, when I go out, but since it takes about 10 seconds to throw the brush over my face, it's hardly much effort I will however shrivel up and die if I can't get my eyebrows etc done!

Likewise - I know of Martha through Jo (and lurrrve babylicious, so cool). So I can say I'm only two degrees of seperation from you!
To bring it back on topic, I put on some make up for the first time in ages yesterday after reading this thread - it felt really nice to do something for me other than whack my hair up in the ponytail without brushing it It was only for an outing to the zoo, but I think the animals appreciated the effort.

i like to wear a full face if i'm going out, and even just for days at home i wear foundation and mascara. tbh this daily routine kept me sane in my first trimester when i was feeling sicky 
otherwise i didn't really feel like me..
i'm not sure i can so easily give it up after baby has arrived either 
anyway my favs are elizabeth arden 8 hour cream which i use as lipgloss, cuticle cream, and spot treatment for any dry skin. lucas' pawpaw is awesome also. love lancome for eyeliners, maybelline mascaras and jane iredale liquid and pressed bases - i wear both for coverage.
has anyone tried the new loreal mascara with the tube technology for the look of extensions? not sure of its real name but wondering if it is any good?

My fave makeup is Ponds tinted moisturiser, which is great even by itself, or with a little concealer over any redness or dark shadows, loreal blush delice to make those cheeks pop, some mascara and a slick of gloss - 15 mins and a great pick me up.
Coming from Melbourne where it was nothing to have immaculate hair and wear a full face of make up just to pop down to the shops, to Christchurch where no one wears even a smidge of make-up or does their hair was quite an adjustment ha ha!
