I don't blame you. The caveat of makeup, even a small amount, is removing it at bedtime. It took me an extra few minutes, esp. when I wore waterproof mascara when I was much younger. But now I'm too tired to do that and just want to wash my face/moisturize quickly and collapse into bed. Sure I got tired back then but this is 30 years later!

How long does it take you to apply a full face makeup?

Hmmm....looks like some good tips in here.

Literally under a minute or two. I layer on layers of mascara and just wear natural rosey colored lipstick. I get more compliments from people that way.

to build the habit of taking it off, should I focus on doing it before going to bed or when I get home from work?

I don’t remove it right when I arrive home because it’s too much hassle. I do it before bed as the whole routine of washing face etc I think it depends on your “after work routine”. Do you change into house clothes? Do you eat right away? Etc

If it fits into your routine, then it might be good to remove it right away. If it adds more work, then I personally don’t want more work

I do not currently change into house clothes because I tend to wear athletic clothes at work anyway. Yesterday I removed at bedtime and it was all right. I will try that first.
