I only put make up on if I'm going out or doing something nice, so day to day I don't wear it. I wear jeggings, nice tops and nice boots every day and I straighten my hair at night so it's styled for the next day. I don't make a particular effort but I still look presentable.

Lip stick sealer maybe?

Other than blow dry my hair and a little blushed and gloss it’s ok. Half hour and I’m done.

I dont wear make up every day and when I do its a quick 5 min job. I tend to wear my hair tied up in a knot.

Obviously special occasions i make more effort!

Takes me about 10 minutes in the morning to do my make up, a bit extra time if I’m going out anywhere for a night out. And no help with your hair in lipstick, just have to keep flicking it out of the way. Yes men do seem to have it easy in that respect x

Friend of mine works on a make-up counter, so she has to put full slap on every day.

She tells me she is so used to doing it now, it only takes her 5 minutes.

Have to say I can't be arsed with full makeup all the time unless a meet or club etc.

Otherwise it's the bear minimum so I don't scare the kids! Lol

It takes me about five minutes, mineral powder, mascara, eye liner, lipstick.

My hair doesn't usually stick to my mouth. I use lipfinity Max Factor or superstay Maybelline. They have the added benefit of lasting all day and most of the night.

But I always find the little things take up a lot of time..plucking eye browse. Waxing..taking care of nails..yes I know I'm a man and I have to work realy hard to keep hair and things under control and if you read my verifications you will see that I truly make the effort..I love being TV but definitely wouldn't want it every day..I always appreciate women that are made up every time you see them and the time they have spent in their very busy life...x

I reckon my partner spends more time grooming himself than I do.

Usually I bathe and give my legs a quick going over with a razor and stick my hair up.

His place is always immaculate; mine has a quick sweep and dust before he arrives.

I'm getting lazier as I get older.

I don't wear it. I may put some mascara on if I'm going out but it's rare. I wash or shower and then get dressed and my dreads get washed once a week

I did make an effort for my partner a couple of days ago. I dried and straightened my hair and put make up on (takes me about 10-15 minutes).

Within 15 minutes of being with him my eyes were streaming and my mascara was smeared over my face. He also rubbed cherry lube over my hair, when he brushed my hair away from my face. By the end of our evening I looked an absolute mess.

I rarely wear makeup and if I do, it's a ten minute job from start to finish, it makes my skin feel smothered so I've learnt to embrace the natural look. Hair is naturally curly so does what the hell it wants, regardless of how I try to style it. I just give up!! Natural all the way for me

For a night out it takes me a couple of hours if not I can be ready to go in 30 minutes- bit of blush, eyeliner and mascara.

As for lipstick try nyx matte lipstick it lasts for ages and isn’t sticky

I have found that less more subtle make up is a lot more convincing. When I was a lot younger I used to look like Ronald McDonald's drag queen uncle..not good...I do feel that a lot of men glance at a well made up women and think..hot..fit..pretty..but I find i now look and appreciate the art and effort that had been put in..

Most of the women at clubs don't wear a lot of make up (as they know it's going to get messed up) and they all look so naturally beautiful..x

Basically this. On a weekday I tend to be at work at 7am (8am on a weekend) and I'd rather more time in bed than put make up on for the benefit of guests and colleagues.

It's much harder for TVs to do a good make up job, especially if you have a dark beard. Consequently it tends to take longer.

For me I rarely wear make up apart from when I go for an evening out.

I agree with a poster above - long stay Mabelline or similar lippy is great.

Nails and hair removal is done when I can be bothered, or if we are having a club night or a meet.

I,m afraid I,m rather lazy when it comes to make up, it goes on in about 4 minutes. But yes I do agree OP most men can get ready much quicker than females, although I did meet one once who had made a real effort and gelled his hair (on his head lol) and everything xxx

I use a lip liner and colour in the whole lip rather than just the outline. It's not sticky like lipstick so hair doesn't stick to it and it lasts nearly all day without reapplying.

I don't generally wear makeup for basically anything less Jan formal events with ball gowns... it takes me about half an hour when I do (high quality makeup products make it quicker and easier to apply). I have a short hair cut that I wash and then drag some wax though, it takes about thirty seconds to style.

Couldn't be doing makeup and hair every day, I've got things that I consider more interesting to do with my time.

I don't wear make up, I'm allergic. I will put on a bit of Lippy if I'm going out but that's it.

My nails are dreadful because of the work I do so I just keep them short and clean.

My hair has a mind of it's own. If I try to straighten it it goes curly and vice versa so I just wash it and leave it to dry naturally.

It probably takes me the same length of time to get ready as the average man

Usually ads is the one that takes longer than me to get ready as I rarely wear make up and normally I can do it in about 20 mins. Any longer and it means my eye liner would rival Amy winehouse lol.

Like many of the women above, I'm low maintenance (and lazy).

Lipstick is now a Clinique chubby stick, so the same as putting on lip balm. Eyeliner and, if I'm dressing up, I'll add mascara. My time goes on full body moisturising.

My hair is big and curly. It does what it wants to do.

I can't be arsed with full make up - I'm a BB cream, tinted lip balm and mascara kind of woman.

Even though I have a makeup bag the size of a house with expensive stuff I never use and keep adding to

I just do my eyes and brows when I’m at work.

Hair is at the awkward stage so I scrape the back into a pony and pull a baseball cap on to hide the bush.

Takes about 10 to 15.

Moisturiser, a dusting of mineral powder & some eyeliner. I get up half an hour before I leave the house in the morning, 20 minutes if I’m not washing my hair. Definitely a fan of keeping it basic!!

Plucking my eyebrows is a few minutes a couple of times a week to keep them tidy & shaving is usually a quick job in the shower every couple of days. Waxing for my bikini line is once every couple of weeks with a bit of plucking or shaving in between if needed.

That said, the T-girls I see at the club are a lot more glamorous than I ever look lol!!

I have no lines or wrinkles, my skin is cappuccino coloured so all I need is lip gloss/lippy. My hair is loosely curled so a quick shake and I'm good to go.

When I do put on make up it takes five minutes as the colours I use are earth tones and used to enhance, I look "fresh" as opposed to "theatrical".

As for hair sticking to lips I use a matte colour but not found a gloss that repels hair...yet!

Everyday makeup takes me about 15 mins, don't really wear much. Just BB cream, polish eyebrows, some blush and mascara. Always moisturizing the lips...

Going out however takes me longer. It's a therapeutic ritual for me.

Primer, concelear, foundation, contouring, highlight, blush, eyebrows, eyeshadow (that takes the longest), eyeliner, mascara, lashes, lippy.

Seems excessive, but lasts all night

I do get jealous of guys only needing 5 mins to get ready, but I know some who take longer than me!

I must say that I am lucky that I naturally have some feminine features and I'm not very hairy but if I was a hairy builder type I think getting ready would be more hassle than fun.I will say that I rather like pampering myself if I'm going to a club..the devil is in the detail. .moisturiser, body spray jewellery.. but so going to try a new lippy..x

I openly tell the girls at work i won't give up an extra 30 minutes of precious sleep time doing hair/make up for them at work.

I usually only bother if i am going out/meeting...

Let's face it, if i did it all the time who would notice when i made an effort?

I’ve got my make up down to about 30mins (for a daytime look). Eye shadow primer, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, concealer, powder mineral foundation, contouring and lipstick.

The best lipstick I’ve used are the liquid ones. I use ‘Smashbox’ ‘Always On’ Matt finish ones.

They go on wet and when it dries to a film, it doesn’t budge, even after drinking, eating, touching, etc. It doesn’t come off if you touch it too.

I don't wear make-up daily and sometimes wear light nake-up for meets -never takes more than 15 mins.

I never wear a lot of make-up even when fully dolled up it only takes 30 mins to do.

I wear very little makeup ever. Only on special occasions, and then its just a tinted bb cream, mascara and lippy. I'm useless with makeup and feel like a clown if I try to wear more than that

I'd love it if someone gave me a complete makeover sometime to see what I would look like if I was made up properly

My make up takes me all of ten minutes (max) If that. My hair is dry in two minutes with a hair dryer. I started to invest in clothes that don’t need an iron.

My shower is what takes time cos I like to just stand under the hot water lol

So after my shower it takes me all of 15-20minutes to be out the door.

I envy them their raw materials, because we have less to work with, requiring more smoke, mirrors and a barrowful of cement.

Lipgloss is even worse than lippy for hair. It comes off my lips in a high wind but it'll stick to a wig like Goodyear to tarmac.
