My SO complained tonight that I took longer than her to put on my make up!!!
It takes me about 30 mins to hopefully get it right.

well it dosn't take me very long, but I need to get better makeup and take my time more. I guess I'm still experimenting.
Bored? Try wearing a pretty dress. It's fun.
Takes me nearly an hour....Heaven help me if I'm *undecided* about my look!
I don't think it will ever take less than 30 minutes.

I checked the 40 - 50 minute box. I can do I good job in less time, but when I first started to dress ,getting pretty took close to 1 1/2 hours. Now that I have a better sense of how I want to look, and have a better " beauty sense " I have cut the time down cosiderably.&

It takes me about an hour. We don't have the experience that GGs have.
I'm sure that if GGs suddenly had to shave their faces, it would take them an hour to do it.
5-10 minutes when I bother.
20 seconds-minute for a little lipstick and powder most days.
Good makeup should be invisible.
Most men need a beard shadow cover and eyebrow thinning only.
Most eye makeup draws attention to your allready deep set eyes.
Most blush builds up and draws attention to your already well developed cheeks.
bright lipstick draws eyes to your face
Its fun to play with, but often for day to day passing its a liability.

How long putting on makeup really varies for me. For the most part I only put on wig and makeup if I am going out. And I would say that I have only had full makeup on between 1 and 2 dozen times. Closer to the 1 dozen end.
But if the times I go out are closer together I am faster after the first time.
So many of the times I am in the 40-50 slot or even over an hour. And the fastest I think I have put it on was about 20 minutes.
My guess if i did it more often I would be in the 20-30 range. Yes that is my final answer and I am sticking to it. Until next time.

Standard disclaimer: Going out of the house was right for me, it may or may not be right for you. If you've got no desire to leave the house, that's fine, I'm not trying to push you out the door. But for those who've been yearning to do so, I just want to let you know the world may not be as scary a place as you think.
Why no box for under 10 mins? "Normal everyday" takes about 5 minutes, add two or three if I need to shave. If I'm feeling extravagent it might stretch to 15 or 20. I voted 10-20 because it was nearest and occasionally applies.

I checked 20-30. Passable everyday makeup takes me about 15 minutes, evening makeup takes usually 30-45 minutes, depending on how creative I want to get with my eyes. I figure 20-30 is a good average.

10 -20 minutes seems about right. Although somwtimes I may take longer if I'm trying something new. I have been practicing for 40 years before that I didn't wear makeup.
My first timers, my wife was complaining too that I took more time than her. That was normal 'cause I had no experience and I had male traits to hide that she doesn't have. Today, even though I can make it in 20-30 minutes, she still thinks I'm taking too long. But most of the days, if I don't feel to be a princess, a 5 minute make-up will do.

I checked 20 - 30 minutes. That depends on whether you consider doing your nails (fingers and toes) as putting on makeup. That takes another 30 minutes or so.
it takes me at least an hour .i need more practice putting on make up . i never seem happy with the results . i'm picky i guess . but the time is worth it .
Thanxs to my wife I've cut my time in half to about 30-45 minutes...
[SIZE="3"]It takes me exactly an hour and a half to completely dress. my makeup time includes shaving (face) moisturising, foundation, eyebrows, shadow, liner, mascara, blush and lipstick about 40 miniutes.

On a daily basis it takes about 15 min but there is no eyeshadow or liner but it is a drab effecr. It enhanceses my look foundation mascara eyebrow powder and clear lip gloss. I then have a baisi to change later.
Going out it takes about 30 min and ready to go.

I've never actually timed myself, but, beginning after I've shaved, plucked my eyebrows, pulled my hair back and have my makeup all out and ready, no way I can spend more than 20 minutes. My wife spends about 10 minutes max on hers. What do y'all do that takes longer than that? I don't think it's because I'm better at it, although I've been doing it for a long time, and I don't think it's because I need less "work" than others. I may really be shortchanging myself somewhere. I do exactly the same thing my wife does, except i might use a beard cover and powder. I'm a little slower at doing my eyes than she is. What am I leaving out?
10 minutes to put on some foudation, lipstick and some mascara. basiclly a quicky.
20+ if I go all out or if my wife does it for me

I have to admit that I had to change my answer on the poll if I wanted to be honest. Some times it takes too long.

10 to 20 for me, but then again, I do it every day so I guess that would speed up the process.

I selected 10-20 minutes as this is how long it takes me to put my everyday makeup on. Which is foundation, powder, and lipstick. Now if I am getting ready for a Tri-Ess meeting or going out en fem, then it will take 30 minutes or more.
