How long does it take for you to put on and remove make up?

When I do whole make up, it usually only takes me less than 45 mins and removal is my least favor part which usually takes me less than an hour. Which make up part do you like to do most? I like to do eyes, like to draw eyeline and put on the pretty shadow. I sometimes have problem drawing eyebrow - one side is higher than the other side :-\... Do you have this problem too? What brand of make up removal do you use? The mascara part is always the hardest to remove... and if I don't clean it well, I will have panda eyes in the morning...

Hi mermaid...It usually takes between 10 and 15 minutes for makeup in the morning. I probably should spend more time but I just don't have it to spend on myself. I like experimenting with eyeshadow but the thing that makes my eyes really pop is my mascara! I use Mary Kay eye makeup remover. It's the best!

That's quick! I thought I'm fast to do that within 30-45 mins but you are way quicker! Mary Kay? Where can I find it? Are they sold in Macy? Thanks for sharing! :-)

No I don't think Mary Kay is sold in stores. You can look on their website to see if they have a salesperson in your area. There is someone who sells it just a couple of blocks away from me. Have fun!

Whoa! I don't know how many minutes I spend in putting and removing my make-up. Hahaha..All I know is, it's my 2nd longest routine in preparing myself after taking a bath. Hahaha...I also like to draw eyeline and mascara. I love curling my eyelashes and putting it with black or blue mascara. ^_^ But I agree with you that removing mascara is the hardest thing to do. Panda eyes! Hahaha..

Hello mermaidivy, I need maybe around 30 minutes to put on my make up and the part I like the best, is when I need to choose the color of my eyeshadow and lipstick. I think my eyes are the best asset so I always concentrate more on this part. To remove make-up, it takes me less than 10 minutes.

Wow less than 10 minutes to remove make up? That's very fast! The eye part takes me lots of time to do that. Thanks for the response!
