Question: how much makeup, if any, do you wear to work everyday? But more importantly, why do you think you wear it?

For some, wearing makeup to work is compulsory (or self-mandated). Others find a full face of foundation just gets in the way of doing their jobs. Then, there’s the women who use makeup as a tool to help them feel professional at work, who apply it everyday like a suit of armour.

I find it interesting that what I consider the most 'made-up' face in that article appeared to have a blurry filter applied in the photo. As someone who's always tried to conceal my freckles, I understand wanting to achieve that perfect foundation effect, so I get why someone goes to the effort. But I find it sad that so many people feel they need to additionally blur themselves in photos. Sometimes there's almost more filter than person. We're getting a skewed sense of reality when more and more photos online are being altered and we don't feel like we measure up.
I used to do my makeup every day and then got bored and lazy about it. The one good thing about makeup every day was always having spf on my face. I often forget to use sunsceeen, though I wear a broad brimmed hat and stick to the shade mostly.
