How Long Does It Take You to Primp For a Special Occasion?

October 28, 2008

I'm fairly low-key on a day-to-day level, but for a big night out, I'm willing to spend up to an hour to complete my hair and makeup. Some friends are ready in 15 minutes, while others take two hours. About how long does it take you to get ready for a big event?

If my hair is wet, at least 1.5 hour, sometimes more. If my hair is dry, about 40 minutes, and if I have the forethought the night before to pop the curlers in I can be ready in 20.

about 2 hrs, but it depends if what i'm wearing, were i'm going, but the most time I spend is on my hair.

I said 1 or more hours. This would change depending on the social occasion, and whether or not I have girlfriends over who are also getting dressed with me, lol! definitely more if I was having hair and/or makeup done professionally. For just a regular night out, I could get ready in less than an hour if I needed to but I like to be prepared and get ready with time to spare.

If I don't have to wash my hair (I have curly dry hair, so I don't wash it everyday...it would fall out), then its 15min shower and 25 min prep for a special occasion.

Far too long.

The makeup routine I have down pat, so unless I mess up and start over again it's 15 mins. My hair is pretty low maintenance. But I take FOREVER to pick an outfit!! so all in all it can be anywhere from 30 min to over an hour! And I'll have clothes strewn all over the room.

It only takes me about 30 minutes to get ready - not including deciding what to wear...That can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Usually I start thinking about my outfit throughout the day so I have an idea...

Not much longer than my normal routine--maybe about 15 minutes (not including shower).

It takes me about 45 minutes, including a shower, if I wear my hair curly. If I straighten it, it's more like 1-1.5 hours. That's no getting sidetracked or dilly dallying.

An hour and a half, minimum, if I'm just leaving my hair straight down. If I do something with my hair, it takes even longer. It was really annoying at my college ball earlier this year - all the boys did was shower and put on suits, and the girls spent all day getting ready!

Since I'm a guy, 45 minutes is a LONG time. But I'm glad to see I'm not taking more time than most girls. Thank the Lord!

It takes me about an hour to get ready just for work every morning, so if I'm really going all out for some special night, I'm gonna need about 2 :rollers: :cocktail:
