I love buying it, looking at it, and writing about it (my other job is being a beauty writer).\n\nIronically, although I love having it in make up bag, I rarely apply the stuff. Not because I&#8217;m time starved but because mostly I&#8217;m too lazy to do it and instead I find large sunglasses hide a majority of sins!\n\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.livingwithkids.co.uk\/mums-and-make-up\/beauty-3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5334\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5334\" title=\"Beauty\" src=\"http:\/\/www.livingwithkids.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Beauty.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a>\n\nNow a new survey reveals that 70% of us do not feel confident going out without a full face of make-up. The study, commissioned by the Vitality Show to celebrate last week&#8217;s \u2018National No Make-Up Day\u2019 found that 62% of women wear make up every day compared to just 20% who only wear make-up at weekends.\n\nIt seems women find the idea of going bare-faced into the world more stressful than public speaking (64%), attending a job interview (65%) and a nerve-wracking first date (38%). Which is probably why the majority also say they won&#8217;t leave the house without doing their \u2018hair and make-up\u2019 first.\n\nWhile I don&#8217;t go out in a full face of make up I do, however, make sure my hair is brushed and my face has a bit of lip gloss\/lipstick before I venture into the world. It&#8217;s not to impress others but simply to make me feel good (for me bad hair = bad day).\n\nHowever, I seem to be in the minority as the poll of UK women also reveals that nearly three quarters of women spend an average of 21 minutes applying make-up requiring them to get up half an hour before their male counterparts. I&#8217;m not sure how many of the women polled were mums, but I can&#8217;t see myself getting up 30 minutes before the rest of the house just to look good!\n\nAs for the average monthly spend on make-up it equates to around \u00a32,156,875 spent every hour in the UK. Again this seems a bit high unless you include hair products, hair dressers and salons in which case it&#8217;s probably spot on.\n\nSo what&#8217;s your relationship with hair and make up? Do you love the stuff or give it a miss? Let me know.\n\n&nbsp;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How do you feel about make up? I LOVE the stuff.
