Going to the doctors?

I mean I know you can't wear it at all when getting surgery, but what about going for a blood test etc? I woke up feeling extremely sick to the point where I even missed work (I never missed work) and I'm going to urgent care to get checked on and I may want to have good and vitamin levels checked.

I look scary though haha. sickness sure doesn't make you look good and I really just want to at least out some concealer on to brighten. will it interfere?

stupid question, I know look, but helppp...

I been in and out of the hospital for the last few months and I been wearing a full face almost every time! Makeup doesn't interfere with blood work :)
But if you are worried you could call up your doctors office and ask a nurse :)

Sometimes it can interfere depending on what you have. If you're jaundiced (yellow skin), makeup would cover it, although they can check your eyes for that too. Its just that your skin is a more obvious sign. And lipstick might hide blue lips, if you're not getting enough oxygen. But there are other ways to check that too. And obviously if you had yellow skin or blue lips, you wouldnt cover them up when seeing the dr. Just use common sense. I usually just use concealer, mascara, brows and tinted lip balm when I'm feeling miserable and have to go out.

The only time you can't wear makeup is if you're getting any kind of surgery.

I was in hospital nearly two months ago and I had a blood test, oxygen clip, blood pressure cuff, ECG, cannula, sedatives, morphine, xrays and a bone reduction, all with makeup on!

It shouldn't interfere. even with jaundice. jaundice will show in blood work if they want to check for it. :) so you'll be fine. :)

I put the ChapStick as my lips are looking a bit lake which is odd because they're usually full of natural pigment...hmph. I hate visiting doctors but I need to get on with it lol. thanks again beautiful ladied.
