My beauty regimen I wash my face in cold water and let the pores in my faces tighten making my faces looking fresh. Then, it is easy now then to apply a little foundation dab around the corner of the faces then slightly spread all over the faces. After that I dub make up then the last things is I put powder as my finale touch. Thus, it makes my faces looking natural and have to sweat less from the powder which I put lastly on my faces. I also put light lipstick and eyeshadow not the rogue types of make up is not my likes. I prefer looking simple and fresh.

Hi Amyson, I do put on make-up when I am attending some functions like gathering ,seminar,wedding dinner or any kind of parties. I prefer to look more different on such occasions,at least has to be more perfect when attending those occasions. I won't put any make-up except plain baby powder when I am going to wet market, nearby supermarket or just out for a while. I don't see the need to apply make-up as I am not attending any special occasions. I do apply lip balm sometimes when I am going out if I am not in rush. Or else just a plain powder on my face is acceptable for me to go out and appear in public place.

I do not make up unless I am going to attend a event, or meeting with an important customer. I do not like it as it cost lots of time and it makes my skin worse. I like the feeling that without any make up on my face. My husband do not like me make up neither, he think I looks better when I have no make up. Thanks for your question and have a nice day.

yes,they says that natural beauty is much more appreciated than artificial beauty that is why make-up is one of them.good for you.

We have the same problem. I usually develop pimples when I use make-up on my face, even powder. I seldom use any cometics on my face. The things I just place to my face is lipstick/balm and eyeshadow.

i just put on lip balm and sometimes lip tint as well. pressed powder, foundation and even loose powder is a no no for me because i get pimples when i put these on so no matter how i want to look better, i can't afford to risk it because looking plain but clean is better than having an ugly breakout. ^^

hello amyson... maybe you can use some hypoallergenic make ups...those that are specially made for sensitive skins... for me, i use make up depends on the occasion...but i am not into heavy make ups! huh! the usual things that i put on my face for formal affairs are pressed powder, an eyeliner which i often use for my brows...hehe, and a lipstick or a gloss...sometimes i put some blush (but its very rare!) and if i just go out for mall or wherever, i just have my pressed powder, an eyeliner for my brow and of course my favorite...lipstick or gloss... i also use those loose powder to get rid of that oily look on face... but even if i am putting those things on my face, i always go on natural looks! that's why i use colors that looks so natural...

i put make up on but except the powder. For some reason it itches. I recommend product for foundation and compact powder but i don't use them. i only use a concealer and then the rest of the make up. the only time i use foundation is around my eye and thats it. My usual is always concealer, eye brow liner, liquid eye liner, mascara, eyeshadow, blush and lipstick. Accessorize a little and im off.

I usually put makeup in the morning before I go to work, I use the usual pressed powder, mascara, eye liner, lip gloss and blush.. in the afternoon though, I just put on plain powder as a retouch.. I seldom to my make up again, not unless I'll be out on a date for the evening. lol. I just don't see the reason why I should do my make up again, because all day, i just stay in front of my PC and work... I just put on powder just to minimize the oiliness of my skin. hehehe.

Hi amyson... happy posting buddy... i never use anything for my face till i finished my high school... for my college, i got to travel such a long distance which literally tanned my skin(as my skin pores are opened all the time since i dont apply anything) ... so then i started using cream... still i dont find any miraculous change in my face... its not bad i can say....

yes exposing your skin in travel makes dry and prone to pimples since dirt will come in contact with your skin.cream are good such moisturizer every night and whitening cream in the morning.

I only use powder on my face, and only one specific kind which is MAC Studio Fix. It's lightweight, but covers like a foundation and doesn't cause breakouts. The only problem is that it costs about $30 Canadian, and since you can only purchase it from MAC stores or high end department stores (neither of which is nearby) I have to order online and pay for shipping on top. Other than that my only other must-wear is mascara. I look exhausted without mascara on.

hi amyson I cannot keep foundation on my skin as I perspire so easily and the foundation melts right off. so I just use lipstick' and eye shadow to highlight my blue green eyes. i like the look of good foundation if I could find one that would not irritate my skin or melt away on me.

I've also got very sensitive skin. I can't put anything on my face because pimples would follow if I do. Even beauty soap cannot pass on my skin. So I have to choose whats fit on my sensitive skin.I just put on my eyeliner and lipstick.

I don't like wearing make-up because it makes me feel like wearing a mask, LOL. I just put moisturizer, powder and lip balm. I think I'll wear lipstick if I'm already working

I'm not a makeup addict but I do use it. I work for the governmen in a very formal athmosphere, so like it or not I Have to put something on my face. It's not heavy makeup anyway, in fact it's very basic. I put on moisturizer, two way cake powder, some blush (only when I'm in the mood/special ocassion), eyebrow definer, a little eyeshadow, and lipstick. I keep it as simple as possible because putting makeup on can be very time consuming.

yes it time consuming if you regularly put make-up you have tendency that you cannot live without it.but as what you said light make-up is fine as long as you wash it thoroughly.
