Since Covid 19 made its unwelcome appearance bringing death and misery to people worldwide, we have had to make many lifestyle changes.
One of those being -the wearing of masks when we are out in public.
couldn't help wondering if there has been any fallout in the cosmetics industry, like cosmetics sales have dropped- maybe.
It is a known fact that some women do not leave their homes without a well made up face, but wearing makeup would seem pointless now when one's face is coverered with a mask.
For me it would depend on where l am going,but most of the time.l would accent my eyebrows and allow my pores makeup free to breathe behind the mask
Do you wear makeup.then mask up?

I don't wear makeup currently. I've met with ladies who have makeup and the mask is below their chin

@Kandae11 yes. It's like not wearing a mask.
But in my church they make it strict that mask should cover the face. I personally I'm already used to masks

I don't wear a lot of makeup most of the time, but I wear even less with a mask.

Mask has taken way chance of seeing the beautiful faces too 
Now I see only face covered with blue,green,black piece of cloth 
Mask usually pull my beard hair that's the reason I have to clean shave within every 2 days. I like to grow my beard long so that I can get them shape I like.

I used to love my lipsticks, but with the mask on, I've never needed to put any on in the past couple of years. I still do my eyes though . . . but I keep it all to a minimum. I know I haven't had to stock up on makeup in a long time!

Lately I have not been wearing makeup so it doesn't matter when I wear a mask.

Hmm... can I think about the question for a while before answering it? 
Pretty didn't bother with makeup before Covid, so sure doesn't bother with it now. (I do know there is a problem some people face since donning masks all the time when out of their homes. Maskne is a problem some men and women both face now since the rubbing of the mask on their face causes breakouts. One woman here said she'd rather her teen daughter caught Covid than have the embarrassment of acne. If the daughter wears her mask like she's supposed to, nobody can see she's broken out. People amaze me at times.)

@Kandae11 I'll tell her you said so. Thanks.
Yes, I've met people here who claim they can't breathe with a mask on. I've got a video of a very pissed off doctor proving that a mask doesn't block the air flow for a normal person. (He's pissed because he had to make the video to prove it to people. He's a surgeon and said if masks stop a person from getting oxygen, then he'd be fainting at the operating table all the time.)

@DaddyEvil That is definitely true. Masks are a part of their operating apparatus. Still, it can be very uncomfortable wearing a mask for hours on end. People who must go to work or travel long distances on public transport.

Even with her mask on Pretty looks very pretty. No, l didn't think you would have a problem with makeup. Lol . The problem some people have with masks is that they find it difficult to breathe properly, especially when the mask is made out of cheap, unsuitable material.

I don't wear much makeup anyway but wouldn't use much if I was wearing a mask. I wouldn't be surprised if makeup sales have suffered lately

I rarely wear makeup since the pandemic unless I have to go somewhere special.

I wondered the same thing. Used to be I wore foundation and setting powder over it plus lipstick and blush. I also wore eye makeup but I only wear the eye makeup on since I have to wear the mask. Has saved me a lot of money not having to buy all that extra makeup to wear.
