Re: What Three Makeup Products Could You Do Without?

Why stop at three?

 

eye/face/lip primer

pressed powder/translucent powder 

foundation (prefer CC cream)

tinted moisturizer

bronzer

fake lashes

brow products

lip liner

lipstick/gloss (prefer tinted balm)

concealer

contour

highlighter

setting spray/powder

 

And since the mask thing, I've skipped the blush, too.  Looking forward to the day I can use it again.

Re: What Three Makeup Products Could You Do Without?

I could live without 

 

Bronzer - I'm pretty light, and throughout the years whenever I've tried it I just end up looking like my face is dirty!

False eyelashes- I did a little modeling when I was a teenager and had to wear them. One day I went right to a fair after a Saturday session. A cute boy I went to school with was there and asked me to go on the rides with him. I was so excited! When we went on the Scrambler one flew off! I went around the rest of the afternoon with two different looking eyes! He never said anything! And I haven't worn them unless I've had to since!

Face powder- I used to watch my mom, my aunt, and my grandmother put this on so heavily. I never liked it and didn't use it until I tried Bare Minerals after I came here. I don't count Laura Geller's Baked products- love those!  Smiley Happy

Primer.

 

More than two eyeshadows.

 

That's it.  My makeup routine is fairly basic anymore.

I'd no longer need blush, bronzer, or eyeshadow. If on a deserted island, moisturizing lip care products and my Anastasia brow gel would be all I'd ever need.

 

Of course I'd need a makeup mirror to apply the brow gel. It's sort of a makeup product, in its own way Woman Wink.

Re: What Three Makeup Products Could You Do Without?

@monicakm  Wow! Great question.  I had to really think about this. 

 

Eyelashes - since I don't wear them.  Whew, that was an easy one

Bronzer - Would miss it but as long as I have blush I'd be ok without it

Highlighter 

 

Going to keep with Laura Geller's rule - you may do without everything else but don't go without the 3 "eyes" - eyebrow, eyeliner, eyelash.

 

Geez, thanks a lot @monicakm I really had to think about this one.  LOL

No. I love my makeup. I could obviously go without it all if I HAD to, but why would someone make me do that!?

Re: What Three Makeup Products Could You Do Without?

I do not wear and could do without:

 

Highlighter

eyeliner

false eyelashes

 

I have not worn false lashes since I was 18. I think highlighter is the worse product ever made.  Shine on the cheeks is a no no.

Re: What Three Makeup Products Could You Do Without?

While I wear makeup daily, I'd say it's a minimal amount. So, I don't think I could give up 3 things! I use:

 

Tinted moisturizer

Light blush

Under eye concealer

3 or 4-color eye shadow palette for highlighter, shadow and liner

Mascara

Tinted lip gloss
