I really think it's just one of many small facets of this strange scary, experience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-are-you-changing-your-hairmakeup-routines-right-now-or-not/page/2#post-2109438 Fri, 27 Mar 2020 22:27:15 +0000 Bethster 2109438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had been thinking I was drifting into higher and higher maintenance mode, so this whole situation has provided a bit of a welcome reset!<br />In the before times: hair product, blow dry, sometimes a bit of hairspray; BB cream, brow gel, mascara, lippie.&nbsp;Now: air dry hair, lippie if I’m feeling sassy. My eyes are NOT missing mascara, I may never go back!&nbsp;</p> <p>Lest I sound like some sort of goblin, I note that I *am* showering on the regular and still keeping up with sunscreen and skin care. I have even stepped up the latter (trying new products with DD home from university — yesterday we mixed up an Aztec clay mask, then she introduced me to hyaluronic acid — my skin feels AMAZING!) Now have a bunch of products from The Ordinary on their way. And I got lucky, I got my brows threaded and tinted juuuuust before the salon shut down (as in, they were closing down while I was still at the register!) I may be less sanguine a few weeks from now when brows are no longer on fleek! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-are-you-changing-your-hairmakeup-routines-right-now-or-not/page/2#post-2109365 Fri, 27 Mar 2020 18:18:23 +0000 Lesley 2109365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am still doing makeup every day! I find that it just makes me feel better. Makes me feel like life is carrying on like normal, and if I see someone unexpectedly on a dog walk or jump on a zoom call I don't feel bedraggled.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hair is another question. I switched to air-drying, which I rarely do in the winter, but since I am not rushing out of the house every morning, there's no rush to have a dry head. I was due for a haircut when this all started, so I guess I'm growing it now? I may have to resort to neat ponytails if it gets to be too much. My hair is poufy and gets out of hand pretty easily.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-are-you-changing-your-hairmakeup-routines-right-now-or-not/page/2#post-2109318 Fri, 27 Mar 2020 14:03:47 +0000 Aurore 2109318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unchanged skincare routine - though I'm running low of my usual face cleanser.

Fortunately I’ve got 2 more weeks before I’m due for a hair appt. but it was my first time in full makeup in 3 weeks, </p> <p>Right now my standard is to do my hair daily, and follow my skincare routine.

Since I cut it last month, it's cooperating, and should be fine for another 2- 2.5 months. Longer hair is low maintenance :)<br /> A few greys are showing up, but I still have some box color left, so will get them when they bug me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-are-you-changing-your-hairmakeup-routines-right-now-or-not/page/2#post-2108994 Thu, 26 Mar 2020 13:37:19 +0000 Bijou 2108994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I am wearing a BB tinted moisturiser rather than a foundation, but other than that, the routine is 100% the same. I like to wear full hair and make-up because it gives me a sense of control. Today only DH and DS saw me, but I was really dressed up. I usually end up not using all my hair and make up products, so why not wear them. I unfortunately was sick for my last hairdresser appointment. My stylist was able to fit in a touch up of my colour, but it has been 15 weeks since my last haircut. If I have to go months more, if you see me wearing a black beret it is not a fashion statement.</p> <p>Maybe I need to buy a wig. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-are-you-changing-your-hairmakeup-routines-right-now-or-not/page/2#post-2108985 Thu, 26 Mar 2020 13:00:35 +0000 Janet 2108985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have essentially fallen into what I think of as camping mode. Gear for much of the time, clean hair and everything, but when it comes to hair: almost no product or styling. A brief shot with the blow dryer to tame the bangs and get the drying started, and then air drying loose or more likely pulled back in a ponytail to keep it out of my face. That’s it. For the face: tinted moisturizer with sunscreen since I am outside a lot, and maybe, maybe a bit of waterproof mascara and some tinted lip balm for venturing to the store. </p> <p>I apologized for my, um, minimized beauty routine to my husband the other day, and he insists that me with no makeup and ponytail hair is “cute.” I don’t know whether he is just humoring me or not, and one day I’ll need to step it up and wear something a little more up to my usual standard, but for now it’s like I’m on one of my extended camping trips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-are-you-changing-your-hairmakeup-routines-right-now-or-not/page/2#post-2108982 Thu, 26 Mar 2020 12:39:33 +0000 Anonymous 2108982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair seems to have gotten exceptionally long overnight. &nbsp;I am wearing it up to keep it out of my face and off my neck. &nbsp;Showering every day. &nbsp;Wearing comfortable, appropriate clothing. &nbsp;No make up. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-are-you-changing-your-hairmakeup-routines-right-now-or-not/page/2#post-2108942 Thu, 26 Mar 2020 06:44:27 +0000 Gigi 2108942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still doing my usual routine, which means hair is done (well, as done as I can make it...I was never good at that sort of thing!) and wearing dressy casual outfits. </p> <p>I don't ordinarily wear makeup unless I'm going out to work or to some kind of gathering, so I haven't worn any makeup in a while.

Usually a bit of CC cream too. Sometimes blush I am trying new lipsticks every day hoping to finally learn which I like .<br />Hair wise who knows! I would normally be getting a hair cut a week ago, so we shall see what happens. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-are-you-changing-your-hairmakeup-routines-right-now-or-not#post-2108895 Thu, 26 Mar 2020 02:53:04 +0000 jasmine 2108895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I normally get my hair cut and colored every 4-6 weeks, and I am overdue for a visit to the hairdresser. Hair salons are operating normally here in Tokyo, as is most everything else (because the government response to this crisis has been woefully slow and inadequate) but I have decided not to go even though I desperately want to, because my husband has asthma and I don't want to put him at any extra risk. I am trying to look at this positively, as a chance to see whether grey hair suits me; I may end up pleasantly surprised! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-are-you-changing-your-hairmakeup-routines-right-now-or-not#post-2108873 Thu, 26 Mar 2020 01:31:57 +0000 JAileen 2108873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m not changing my daily routine. &nbsp;Daily shower, hair and makeup. &nbsp;I don’t wear a lot, but look like a ghost without it. &nbsp;My silver hair is short and I get it cut every four weeks. &nbsp;My appointment was rescheduled to two weeks later, so we’ll see how that goes. &nbsp;I wear normal clothes every day. &nbsp;My normal is casual, though, since I don’t have a job.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-are-you-changing-your-hairmakeup-routines-right-now-or-not#post-2108865 Thu, 26 Mar 2020 01:03:56 +0000 MsMaven 2108865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It varies.

I'm going to try to remember to put on eyeliner in the morning. (I'm usually intermittent on foundation use and lipstick goes on at start of day but I get busy and can't always be bothered to keep reapplying. Plus gross on coffee cups...) Hair is air dry -- often pulling the bangs back in a clip to keep them off my face. Might treat myself to a mud mask or two during this time, though. I often get busy and forget those little boosts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-are-you-changing-your-hairmakeup-routines-right-now-or-not#post-2108780 Wed, 25 Mar 2020 20:20:45 +0000 Jane 2108780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m doing my hair and some makeup. </p> <p>I’ve just bought the stuff to take my gel nails off (sobbing all the while). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-are-you-changing-your-hairmakeup-routines-right-now-or-not#post-2108775 Wed, 25 Mar 2020 20:14:10 +0000 nemosmom 2108775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My makeup routine hasn't changed - still concealer, eyeliner, brow powder, mascara, blush, (and lipstick when I remember), but I have video conferences several times per week (and have for years).&nbsp; </p> <p>I did my own pedi a couple of weekends ago, and hope to get to my hands soon.
