Some days I won’t touch my face and some days I get glamorous or do a “new” look! I wasn’t like this before Covid, I still had to wear makeup every day, just a simple look. Now it’s all or nothing, has anyone else’s makeup routine changed drastically since Covid?
Mine has, but not by choice. I’m always in medical environment, need to be double-masked, and it’s really irritated my skin. I have to keep makeup very light.
Just that I never use cream lipsticks or balms under my mask- only Maybelline Matte Inks for a year now.

Mine has lol
Yes! I went from using full coverage foundation and blush, always, to now only using a light coverage foundation. Every time I see makeup reviews/vids on blush or bronzer, I’m always like what’s the point:( it gets rubbed off under masks anyway!
I also used to be a BIG lipstick, mascara only kinda gal but now it’s the opposite! Go full glam on the eyes and might do either a lip tint or a very subdued MLBB matte liquid lip.
It’s crazy, but yes. I don’t understand it either. I’m 62 and have never worked. Covid really hasn’t been the life altering pandemic in my case as it has in a lot of people’s lives (except when I had Covid). I could go days without leaving the house before Covid. But starting last May, I just went bananas and have so much makeup now I could open up my own makeup boutique 😮 AND to make it worse, it takes me longer to get ready to leave the house because I have to decide between 4 foundations, a dozen e/s palettes, 3 double hands full of various lip products, a handful of eyeliners, different styles of eyelashes, etc. What happened to the days of one foundation, a couple of e/s, a blush or two, mascara and maybe two or three lippies? Perfume…same story (sigh).
