Exactly how much makeup do you have?

Mellie32 — Sun, 26 Jun 2016 21:06:03 GMT

Are you a minimalist -- just the essentials and you use the same things everyday? Are you the total makeup addict -- you have oodles of products and love using different things all the time? Or are you somewhere in between?

Way more than I actually use, However like the other poster I have more skin care.

I have a core set of skin care products that I use everyday - I have more makeup because I like to mix it up. However, unlike some of the makeup addicts I've seen, I only have a couple palettes, 2 or 3 single eyeshadows and a couple of everything else. So I guess I'm in between, but leaning toward minimalistic.

I'm a minimalist - tinted sunscreen, concealer, mascara and cheek gelee (all Josie Maran).

I'm another who has more (actually much more) skincare than makeup.

With makeup, I usually don't wear that much. I tend to wear eyeliner and a lip gloss most days. Every once in a while I try a foundation, and then conclude my skin looks better without (just sunscreen).

My last makeup order was during Super Saturday, a three piece Laura Geller lip crayon, gloss, and lipstick. I figured, if I didn't like them, it wasn't a waste (good cause) but they were actually pretty.

My next makeup order will be a Clinique black eyeliner (in the pot). My last one lasted me over a year. I do buy some Jordana eyeliners in green as well.

I have "The Works"...............and if it says "new"..............that's even better!

I went to an all-girls school.......uniforms and no makeup or jewelry. When I got outta there...........I went hog wild!!!!

Minimalist. I've always liked to keep it simple.

I'm somewhere in between. I have one mascara, one brow pencil, one finishing product, one small eye shadow palette which is also my eyeliner, two concealers. On the other hand I have a dozen different blushes, probably 15 lipsticks, 5 glosses and some miscellaneous lip products. I find it manageable

Minimalist. It's to hot to wear makeup right now so I just wear moisturizer most days. I have one mascara, a couple of blushes and a couple of tinted foundations. I don't do lipstick or eyeliner or eyeshadow. It just sweats off so why bother.

I use makeup more to create an "illusion" rather than add color, with the exception of blush and lipstick. I have one color that I use on my eyelids (ivory) and one color (grey) that I use in the eye crease, to create depth. I've found my HG lip color, so I don't usually stray from that, and I use a cheek color that looks like my own blush. Overall, I'm looking to enhance my features, not match what I'm wearing on a given day so my makeup works with whatever I wear. Having said all that, I guess that makes me a makeup minimalist.

My makeup:

concealer

foundation

blush

brow pencil

eyeliner pencil

lipstick

I put these in a box on my counter. When I run out, I go to my "stock"....that's a whole different story.

I don't wear a lot of make-up, but I have more than I can keep track of. That's because I've accumulated it over the years. I have probably a half dozen brow products. My favorite lately is a Brow Queen powder trio and brush that I got at HSN probably in the prior century. It still looks and functions as new, and I started using it just a couple of months ago.

I have two make-up palettes with the two dozen eye shadows, blushes, and lipstick pots that I got from Tarte and YBF years ago. I never wear eye shadow, but I keep them around because once in a while I do. Again, except for the lipstick squares they are like new.

For foundation, I have about three Bye Bye Undereyes (was hoarding for a while), a giant IT CC cream, one from Josie, and another drugstore one that I don't use. There's more, but those are the high points of my stash. Mostly I just put a bit of foundation not all over my face, do my eyebrows, and put a lip balm/gloss with a bit of color. I might use mascara once in a while. If I win the lottery or have an audience with President Trump, I will apply the woiks!

I'm somewhere in the middle. I don't wear the exact same makeup every day but I don't have - or want - tons of makeup (or skincare) either.

@Desertdi

Sounds as though we went to the same school. The nuns would walk up and down the home room aisles every morning to check if the girls had on makeup. They would walk around with small rulers to measure how far below the kneecaps our skirts were.

We differ on " going wild ".....I am a minimalist:

Dr. denese hydrating serum

SPF 30 Spackle

IT CC Concealer and Foundation

LG brow marker

Mally Mascara.

More than I would dare admit. I guess I'm kind of a junkie. Always loved makeup since I was a little girl and used to sit and watch my mom apply her's in awe 😊

I am a bare minimalist with makeup; everything fits in a Clinique makeup bag, and I rarely ever wear it. I have added more serums and creams to my routine since retiring.

I have and wear zero makeup. Due to a skin diagnosis.
