How much do you keep in reserve of your basic grooming and makeup items?

I usually keep several eyeliners, eyeshadows, and one each of foundation, powder, lipstick, and blush.  

I work so much that I don't have time to go to the mall to pick uo things.

@kittyloo About 4 eyeliners, several eyeliner quads, one foundation, one powder as well as blush, one eyeshadow spackle to keep the shadow on and out of my crease (ouch!) and one of each anti aging unless they come in large tubs.

I don't thave the time to keep revisiting the stores where I've been successful.

I also don't want to scare people!!!

@ECBG    wow you are way more in control than me.  i have probably 25 liquid eyeliners and pens, 8 foundations, 5 or 6 brow liners, lots of shadows.  BTW i wear the same color shadow on my lid everyday.  don't know why i have so much. oh, yeah, options.  lol

It is smart for you to keep extras.  For me it is not that important as I am retired.  Sometimes I may have an extra mascara.  Don't ask me about lipsticks.  I need to go thru my lipsticks and toss many out and I need to stop buying lipstick.  I am currently very happy with Origins lipstick in English Rose for everyday wear.  I do have one extra English Rose lipstick.

I really don't keep that many backups.  I do end up with extras of things because I may buy a kit or something that has items I already have.  Like mascaras.  However, I currently don't have a backup of MY mascara, but there are a few from kits I have in my stash.  I do occasionally buy a deal, like I bought the iT primer since they were selling a twofer for less than the price of one.  I don't have backups of foundation, blush, lipsticks, eyeshadows, etc.  I just bought an M Asam serum knowing I was at least half way through my current one and they were just on last week.  I do have quite a stash, but they're not backups, they're things to try or extras from kits.

I do have some extra stuff, mostly skincare.  When bying Kits, to get a much better price than buying an individual item, I do end up with extras.  I have a daughter, and a few times a year, I get one of those boxes at the PO - If it fits, it ships for a set price.   So, I share with her.  Buying skincare is not at the top of their budget.  She loves her care packages.
