Research says women spend more than 1 year of life putting on makeup

Vanity accompanies the feminine universe and along with it comes the complaints of how much time a woman wastes in front of the mirror getting ready. According to research by Specialist Make-up Services, a British clinic, it takes about 1 year and 3 months to achieve a perfect look. It's 43 lifelong, 91 hours a year, 15 minutes a week, 24 minutes on weekends, and the incredible 76 minutes getting ready for special occasions.

The survey was done in England, but easily applies to all women who do not dispense makeup or go to the gym and they represent 1% of the 1050 interviewed. Other data confirms that women are insecure with their own image, with only 13% having the courage to get their faces clean and 12% wanting to resort to plastic surgery to correct imperfections. Still in the results, 9% of women indicate that nothing would make them drop the beauty ritual, 93% will never stop makeup to leave.

In addition to these data, it was found that on an occasion such as a dinner out, the eyes are the area that gets the most attention, taking up 17 minutes of total makeup time. The research was sponsored by Harley Street and populated in the Daily Mail.
