    How long does it take you?

    How long does it take you to go from "man" mode to being satisfied with your look? Lately seems to take me an hour, with a shower and shaving, makeup, outfit and hair etc to get where I can walk out of my room and feel "right"- thanks!

    I also enjoy the whole process and usually don't get in a big hurry. Most of the time it takes me 1 to 2 hours, usually about 1 1/2 hours. Kinda depends on how fast I want to leave.

    It takes about an hour, the same time as it takes me to get dressed up in a suit after being in work clothes.

    I also take 1 hour because I can't wear make up yet. The reason it is taking so long because I like Showering

    It has been said that any woman should take no more than about 15 minuses to apply her full make up and one should get into a routine to accomplish this.

    About the only thing that would make many CDs take longer is covering their "beard shadow"........ assuming that they keep their legs, etc shaved as GG gals also have to do.

    FWIW...... I have known GGs who took well over and hour or so to get ready for a date etc.
    So, CDs are not necessarily alone in this .

    It takes me four hours for a complete transformation. Really. But I don't mind as I also enjoy the process.

    If I have everything assembled and ready to go, one hour.

    If I only have to put on one of my "special faces" and no makeup, 45 minutes!
    U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.

    Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!

    About an hour for me as well. I also enjoy the process but I don't like to waste too much time because my dressing time is usually limited and I want to revel in the finished product as long as possible

    From shower and shave to ready to go out the door about 1/2 hour. Helps to have your outfit and "look" already picked out.

    90 minutes, but ONLY if I have already decided what to wear and have it laid out. Indecision could add another half hour to the process.
    Can you zip me up?

    Usually an hour will do it, but sometimes the hair needs extra work. Makeup application has become very routine, since I've been doing it for more than 30 years.

    Too bloody long. I'm a good two hours sloth-speed girl. My old boat race needs plenty of love and attention to even begin to look decent.

    A bit like Stacey, outfit choice definitely adds to my time line though.

    Well oddly enough it takes me an hour to get ready every day. Showering and shaving, teeth, contacts, moisturizer, hair takes the longest. Omg, how much longer would it take if I had to struggle with make-up. I remember a few years ago, unshaven legs, crewcut hair, wake up and be ready to go in under 15 minutes. I will never hassle any women for how long it takes her to get ready.

    If I include the shower/shave time about an hour.
    If I've already shaved and just doing makeup and dressing I can be ready in half that time.

    Total about an hour. But thanks to super sensitive face. I need to shower and shave about two hours in advance then the paint job. Sigh.
