I have a nice complexion so I don't need it most days. When I feel super pale I wear some very light foundation. I only buy (and very rarely because I don't use it much) very good make up products that don't feel heavy on the skin.
I wear mascara most days- my eye lashes are light so it adds a lot to my appearance. If I'm feeling really tired and pale Ill use some concealer but very very rarely.
I hate eye liner and lip stick - it's so obvious that I'm wearing make up when I wear it. Very unnatural to me.
I think it also has to do with DH - I have no pressure to ever wear make up becuase I know my DH likes it better without make up, its like a mask to him- he doesn't get it.
I hear other Dhs that compliment their wives more when they do wear make up- I'm sure that would have changed things for me if DH was like that.

I don't exactly and I far from don't. I look in the mirror and I don't really see my lousy skin and I have very lousy skin. I'm comfortable with myself. I highlight my good features.

Don't I wish! I'm no beauty, take my word for it.

if I go out during the day I put on a mineral make up powder, blush, lipstick. (and eye make up if I have time.) for social events and before shabbos I put on a full face. I wouldn't put on make up for school pick ups or staying at home all day.
I think I have good skin but it looks even better with make up.

I usually put on makeup when I'm going out. Like someone posted, Clinique foundation is very light - I barely feel it - and it doesn't seem to harm my skin. I also wear eyeliner, a drop of a natural-tint shadow (to lighten the eye area), a sprinkling of blush, and lip liner. I never wear lipstick because I find it very drying, ditto to mascara - my lashes are dark enough anyway, and it tends to make my eye area feel itchy.
It takes about 2 minutes, and evens my skin and brightens it. I find that especially when wearing a wig, my face looks more pale, hence the need for makeup. Plus DH really likes it.
I'm big on skincare and moisturizing - it's like learning Torah (L'havdil....), if you forget to do it one day, it'll cost you 2 days to make up for it (pun intended).
I have two teen daughters, and both of them have nice complexions. The older one looks more grown-up and beautiful with makeup, but (my personal opinion) when my younger DD wears makeup (and she just loves it) it looks painted on. Maybe because she has such a young face. I think she just looks naturally beautiful without makeup.

"No-Tears" shampoo from Johnson and Johnson is a good, and not expensive, eyemakeup remover.

Sort of like a tinted moisturizer. You don't need to wear primer or anything underneath. Very light coverage

I wear a full face of makeup everyday. I have nice skin but I think it adds a lot and makes you look really presentable and pleasant to look at.
I do skip some days when I'm around the house and let my face breathe.

I wear nothing. I hate how it all feels. I put on chap stick if my lips get dry. Thats all.

Many frum women don't. In fact many non Jews and non frum, also.
