I love make-up. I have a face that is transformed by it (pale brows and eyelashes) and I love really anything that lets me "create" myself.
I spend about 7 minutes total. I use Bare Minerals - but I don't like the 300 powders they want you to do with it, so I just do the foundation one, a swipe of blush, dab of a baby pink shimmery powder (the pale girl's bronzer) on my cheeks, dark brown eyeliner, a light blue shadow on my lower lashes, a red-brown powder so I have eyebrows, then black mascara, then a pink all-day lip color.
Me too! I sometimes wish it weren't such an extreme change, since it does marry me to the routine. I also feel like I make the jump from way below average to way above average with make-up.
I have a friend (with very low self-esteem) whom I've tried several times to makeover (as it's the most gratifying and instantaneous esteem booster), and she keeps saying make-up doesn't make a difference, and she's right. No matter how much I put on her - nothing looks especially different. It's like her face eats the make-up.

But there are some days I wish I was average or slightly above average all the time, or that my looks were more tempered.
