If you wore makeup when you were dating your spouse, do you still wear it now?

At home.

Just curious. I rarely do. DH mentioned that he can't tell if I'm wearing makeup or not, but I'm not sure if that's true.

Yes. I feel better with it on. However, the last few weeks of quarantine I’ve pretty much given up. I feel like a schlub.

I'd wear it daily before the pandemic but don't usually now. Once a week or so I'll put some on for fun (and I'll use fun makeup, like a really glittery, sparkly eye). He doesn't care either way and doesn't get why I ever would wear makeup to walk around the house.

Yes. My skin is all splotchy and red in places. I wear foundation just to walk around the house .

Dh doesn't really like it, so no.

Like, if I’m going to be home all day? Or like leftover from leaving the house?

Me too! I have rosacea and I’m not wearing foundation entirely for DH, he certainly sees me without it, but I feel better covering that up. I put it on every morning, even thought no one outside of my immediate family is seeing me during COVID.

I do, even if it's just going to be me alone in the house. But it's really basic makeup. Concealer, blush, tinted lip balm.

No. Not now. DH isn’t into makeup, so when I do wear some it isn’t for him anyway. I think I’ve worn makeup 3 times since the shutdown started. None of my coworkers are wearing makeup anymore either. It’s too hot to mess with it now anyway.

Ha! Yes. I sometimes forget to put it on, the I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, and I’m kind of surprised at how awful I look!
It also has sunscreen in it, so it works double time.

IF I am going out, or staying home? I use eyeliner and mascara most days, as my lashes are really skimpy and I am pale and look like a naked mole rat

Me too. Foundation, plus eyeliner/mascara/eyebrows so I don’t look like a “naked mole rat” as pp put it. Somewhat for DH, but mostly for my own mental health so I don’t dread looking at myself in the mirror. Also so I don’t panic if I run into a neighbor outside or have to hop on an unexpected zoom meeting.

No, I hate the way it feels on my face.

No, but I only wore eyeliner and lipstick when we were dating, so it wasn't far to go.

Unless I m going to work, I don’t wear makeup.
