That's about the same for me.
 
Full face for work...(primer, concealer, foundation, powder, brows, eyeshadow base, eyeshadow [between three and six colors], eyeliner, mascara base, mascara, blush [between one and three colors], lip liner, lipstick, and lip gloss)...twenty to thirty minutes.

Full face for going out...(all of the above plus a more complicated eyeshadow routine, more eyeliner, and false lashes)...thirty to forty-five minutes...but that's usually because I have more time to play around.

 
Fastest.... 10 - 15 minutes.... If I don't have any where pressing to go.... Hours!! Lol.

 
wow. you guys are uber quick compared to me. XD haha. i take 45-60 minutes to get ready. im a perfectionist.

 
If I am doing an out the door look, it generally takes about 15 minutes but when I go all out with the shadow, it can take about 45 minutes to an hour.

It all depends on how much time I have and what look I am going for. I usually allow myself 30-45 min in the morning for my MU, but thats b/c I fiddle around, drink coffee, things like that. If I am going out, it could take a long time. When I do other peoples it all depends on what it is for. Pageants usually take 45-90 min since application has to be a little heavier due to stage lights. Weddings are always a toss up-sometimes the bride freaking out about something and keeps getting up, sometimes they just want something fresh and natural looking. it all depends on the person and what they want.

I get up in at 7 to feed my dog, brush my teeth and moisturize and prime and from 7:30 to 8:15 i'm getting ready. I can do it much quicker but i obsess over everything. Plus, since i keep everything in two big traincases, it takes up a lot of my time sorting through what i'm looking for, having to pull out this and that and what brush i want to use. For a night out, about an hour.

I think if i had a vanity itd be much easier to get ready in the morning much quicker. plus i won't stop messing with my mp3 player and changing the song and watching tv.

 
Under 15 mins. On my work days, I get up at 5 am. I have to leave in 45 mins and that includes getting my kids ready for school and the sitters.

 
Varies for me as well:

Quickie running around to do errends/day look~ 15 minutes

Going out, depends on the look~ anywhere from 45-60 minutes (provided my Husband keeps the kids occupied

)

On clients, again it depends on the look, how many faces I have and the type event.

Like a bride I take my time, an hour or so. Bridal parties 30 minutes each girl. Photoshoots I usually only have 20 minutes or so for each model.

heheh I like this thread already!!!

Ok natural look, nothing over the top, just quick application of stuff I already know how to do really well and am used to doing? Which means a lil bit of liquid liner, mascara, mineral foundation and blush.

5 min tops.

But if I am going for something a little more daring, trying new colors or something bold that I already know how to do but I want it to blend well and have nice flow. Including the essentials of course : eyeliner, mascara, blush, foundation.

It can take up to 30 min or more depending on just how exact I am trying to be or haha or much I have to grab a wet q-tip or baby wipe haha.

 
usually for work, between 20 and 30 minutes..

and between 30 and 40 for going out.

It really depends how much time I have. I can do makeup in 5 minutes, but mostly I have more time, so I use it, lol.

 
10 mins for everyday and 30 for going out, I'm too lazy to get up in the morning and do anything fancy...
