How long does it take you to get ready?

Dailymail recently published an article that average woman spends 55 minutes on her appearance every day. Did you know that adds up to about two entire weeks in a year? It seems crazy, but maybe it’s true.

For me, I spend about 20 minutes washing my face, doing my make-up and fixing up my hair. And if I need to wash my hair, you can add another 30 minutes. Then, if I’m going out later, that’s about 15 minutes worth of touching-up.

So how long do you think you spend on your appearance every day? What kinds of things do you have to do? Let us know – we’d love to hear all about it!

    i like taking my time when doing my makeup as it makes me feel super relaxed and that takes around 30 mins.
    my hair takes around 15 mins.
    choosing an outfit…. well that can take a whole hour! lol

    make up takes about 15 minutes. if my hair is messy, I curl it and it takes about 10-15 minutes. for me, the longest time I spend for getting ready is choosing what to wear. sometimes it can take 30 minutes alone for that..

    Depends, If I have time It takes 30 to 60 minutes and if time is short then 20 to 30 minutes are enough.

    The older I get..the longer it takes.I have to have my makeup perfect,with everything blended correctly,so makeup takes me about 20-30 mins depending on the look.Then add on another 45min for hair if ive washed it as its long,and takes a while to blowdry then straighten.

    For me, no matter where I’m going (unless it’s just dropping the kids at preschool on my days off), I take up to 90 mins. But I shower every day & wash my hair everyday which takes up a lot of time.I’m a bit of a clean freak in the shower lol And when I get out I have a few different serums & creams that I use. Adding to that brushing my teeth, drying my hair, styling my hair, my makeup & finding something to wear. However when I’m home aloe without the kids disturbing me or my partner interrupting me to show me something funny on Facebook, I can usually be done in about an hr. A lot of people would say that’s a long time but I take pride in my appearance & how fresh I feel when I leave the house.

    I know my boyfriend would say too long which I find quite hilarious. It depends on the occasion and the day. I noticed Fridays I usually take a bit more time as I like to dress up a little more and straighten the hair, maybe put on something new. Four days a week on average it takes me 27 mins to get ready and out my door. I love my sleep.

    Carli,
    Great topic! totally agree with your 55 minutes. However with long hair and thick maybe put an extra 20/30 mins for a good blow wave.

    It takes me about 30 minutes to get ready but 15 if I am in a rush which is most days, haha.

    The less time I have the more natural my makeup looks. eg. foundation, powder, blush and out the door! (Maybe eyebrows on the train)
