How often do you put make up on?

I hardly put makeup on now, though when I was a teenager I wouldn't leave the house without lipstick on. I remember being an expert at applying liquid eyeliner as a teen. I feel as I've matured I've become happier in my own skin. I've felt more confident once I realised I didn't need makeup to look good.
Though now I have decided to use a little more makeup to make the most of myself. This just involves concealer and a little sparkle on the eyes. I save makeup for going out, and am a bit more experimental on those odd occasions.
I am fascinated by how different women use makeup, some play up their eyes others their lips. I will someday have my face done professionally to learn how to do it properly. It is a boost to your confidence to look your best.
Do you wear a lot of makeup? And has your routine changed for any reason?

I try to wear make up on a daily basis. It makes me feel more confident about myself. I am one to play up my eyes as I have very small lips. Try to take the attention away from my "flaws". Normally on Friday and Saturday I don't wear make up. My skin is very sensitive and I feel I need to give it that time to go clean. In the past month my routine has gotten a bit easier. I have gotten it down to a science at putting makeup on in the am and keep the necessities with me while I'm at work just in case I wake up late or need a touch up before a meeting.

I also have very small lips and do little apart from a bit of gloss (if anything). It sounds like you have perfected your routine!

Likewise as a teenager I felt I had to have make-up before I left the house. I didn't have the best quality skin so I remember I always wore foundation, at the very least.
I still wear make-up most days. I work in an office and we are expected to be smart, so I tend to wear foundation and lipstick. When I'm going out I will then spend time doing eye make-up and the rest, but not for everyday wear.

Sounds very similar to my makeup, I wish my dark circles would disappear and I could skip the concealer!

I put make up on everytime I go out to work or on a gig.. with that, I don't even put on the whole works.. I just put on some mineral makeup, a touch of blush and gloss and am ready to go.. I sometimes envy those who could put in the whole makeup thingy.. but then, I find it too time consuming in my part as well.. =p

In my work, it is not required to put some makeups on as long as you are presentable here but well, I can't leave the house without putting a little lipstick or lipbalm for my lips!

I put makeup on everyday before I go to work. If I'm off though, unless I am going somewhere I don't bother.

I wear it when I go to work. On my days off, unless I am going out, I give my skin a break. I don't wear much anyway. Just eyeliner, mascara and foundation. I have always been big on the black eyeliner and at first i felt weird not wearing it but i've gotten used to it and it's not a big deal anymore.

Yeah usually once during the day but I tend to get dry lips now and then especially during the colder months and that is why I tend to apply quite a bit of lip balm, in fact I have a few laying around the house everywhere. It helps and I do feel better about it.

I rarely wear makeup. Now when I say rarely, I mean like once/twice a year. I have often made a resolution to start wearing it everyday, but don't stick with it. I think one of the problems is that I don't make time for it. I'm usually running out of the house already 5 minutes late, with the baby in the car seat in one hand, diaper bag over the shoulder, purse over the other and holding the toddler's hand.
