I'm another one of those that feels better when I look like I care about my appearance. It takes about 8 mins. to apply powder foundation, eyebrow color, eyeliner, eye shadow, blush, mascara. I use tinted lip balm, either Burts Bees or Blistex. Lip color when I want to. Forty five minutes beginning to end, provided I don't have to take out time to referee the kids.
