If you lost all your makeup...

...which 10 products, that you currently use, would you replace first? Don’t forget to include any tools you may need! Good luck!

 

This is inspired by Andréa Matillano’s August 14, 2018 YouTube video.

 

Here are my 10 picks that I would replace on a priority basis. They’re all mixed up because I made so many revisions!

 

1) MARC JACOBS BEAUTY - Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara

2) Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Gloss Luminizer Fenty Glow

3) LANCôME - Teint Idole Ultra Long Wear Foundation

4) TARTE - Park Ave Princess™ Bronzer & Contour Palette

5) NARS - Liquid Blush

6) BECCA - First Light Priming Filter Face Primer

7) Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow+ Tinted Volumizing Eyebrow Gel 4

😎 NATASHA DENONA - Eyeshadow Palette 28 (Green Brown)

9) SEPHORA COLLECTION - Sephora Collection x Utowa PRO Universal Curler

10) URBAN DECAY - All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray

 

That was sooo hard! It made me realize that I usually use 15-20 products for everyday makeup. I had no idea I had become so high-maintenance lol 😂 

 

Looks like I’m applying all my makeup with fingers because I couldn’t afford to give any of my 10 slots to makeup brushes! 

Re: If you lost all your makeup...

@singjordi Great list! It looks like you’ll have radiant skin with those choices 😊 You won’t miss your mascara? 

RE: Re: If you lost all your makeup...

I get lash extensions lol

Re: If you lost all your makeup...

@PinkEvergreen This is so difficult to event contemplate! It has made me realize just how many items I use on a daily basis. If I absolutely could only pick ten items to start with they would have to be:

BEAUTYBLENDER - the original beautyblender® It's so versitile and can be used for foundation, powder, and highlighters.

BOSCIA - Porefecting White Charcoal Mattifying Treatment Primer I seriously cannot do my makeup with out this primer.

DIOR - Diorskin Forever Perfect Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 35 

KVD Beauty Lock-It Setting Powder Standard Size Translucent - 0.67 oz

SEPHORA COLLECTION - Contour Palette it can also work as an eyeshadow palette and brow powder!

KVD Beauty Ink Liner Waterproof Felt-Tip Liquid Eyeliner Trooper

TARTE - Tarteist™ Lash Paint Mascara

SEPHORA COLLECTION - Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick - 45 Chai Latte Bonus points for also being able to apply this like a liquid eyeliner!

BECCA - Shimmering Skin Perfector® Pressed Highlighter - Opal I cannot live without first applying an unhealthy amount of this highlighter to my face

URBAN DECAY - All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray

If I could get more things I'd add a blush, eye shadow palette, and a brow pomade to my list but for now, those are the most expendable to me.

Re: If you lost all your makeup...

@Glarson You’re really making your makeup multitask for you. Nice job! 👍👍

 

Now that you mention it, I could have included a contour palette instead of a dedicated eyeshadow palette, to use for both eyeshadow and contouring. My favourite contour palette at the moment is the TARTE - Park Ave Princess™ Bronzer & Contour Palette, but I know a lot of people use the KVD Beauty Shade + Light Refillable Powder Face Contour Palette for contouring and eyeshadow as well. It’s good for me to remember this for when I travel because, if I’m being honest, I rarely do any creative eyeshadow looks when I’m away for business or leisure. I usually just want to get on with my day, and slap on pretty much the same neutral look every morning lol 😂 

 

As for blush, I noticed that your Sephora contouring palette does have a pale pink pan in it, so that would hopefully do the trick for you in this doomsday scenario we’ve got going on 😁

Re: If you lost all your makeup...

@PinkEvergreen I agree on the countor palette and eyeshadow palette thing! But I have also done the opposite before, too. when I travelled a lot last year I took the Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar Palette (huh, I had not realized this was no longer available at Seohora but it is on the Too Faced website for $22 so maybe it's being discontinued?) with me so I had enought eye shadows to create different looks but I also used one of the matte brown shades as a face contour, and it worked really well! And that KVD contour palette is amazing! But the sephora one is comperable and less expensive so I went with that one the second time around. That is also a fair point abut the pink shade, however it is a bit too light for my skin tone, I tend to favor mauve or terracotta shades, and does not really show up on me.

And hey, you never know this situation could arise! It could happen after a real unfortunate event such as a natural disaster or a robery, or on a lighter note after making a silly mistake like leaving your makeup bag in a car on a hot day (which I have totally done and will melt all lipsticks and creams which causes a huge mess and gets everywhere) but let's hope none of these do happen!

So yes...I may be cheating.  But it is *technically* one item.

Re: If you lost all your makeup...

@ChristineR07 You're definitely taking care of your skin with these picks 👍 

 

I notice that many people are completely skipping eyeshadow. I thought that would be top of the lists after foundation. Very interesting! 😊

Re: If you lost all your makeup...

@PinkEvergreen - I can't go without good skincare with my rosacea. If I use anything from the drugstore my face just goes haywire. But as long as I use mascara and my brows are done I can skip eyeshadow.  At least for a while. 🙂

Re: If you lost all your makeup...

@ChristineR07 I’m with you on that one! I didn’t consider my rosacea when I made my choices. Yikes! 😬 it’s been in remission for over a year due to excellent skin care products but I’m sure it would come back within a month without them. 

Re: If you lost all your makeup...

I have no idea! 😄  I would say I'd probably replace all my tools first (10+ items right there) because you can't do a nice job of applying your makeup without the proper tools! 😄

Re: If you lost all your makeup...

@veronika23 I would miss my IT Cosmetics brushes sooo much until I replaced them 😅

Re: If you lost all your makeup...

@PinkEvergreen  I consider most of mine irreplaceable... They're MAC from like 15+ years ago 😄

Re: If you lost all your makeup...

This was very hard so I decided to go with OG favs of mine that I've used for years (the only newer fav is the Fenti gloss but I cant live with out it lately) Just noticed I forgot a setting powder and concealer lol oh well I guess ill be oily with dark circles  LMAO

 

1- Shu Uemura eyelash curler

2- It Cosmetics Super hero mascara

3- Becca backlight priming filter

4- Laura Mercier tinted moisurizer

5- KVD Bow and Arrow liquid lipstick

6- Fenti Gloss bomb

7- Stila liquid liner

8- Anastasia brow wiz

9- Benefit Dallas blush

10- Too Faced chocolate bar palette

Re: If you lost all your makeup...

@jen143xo Great list 😊 Not having a setting powder or spray would be a challenge, I’ll admit... Maybe cornstarch would work in a pinch? Lol 😂 

Re: If you lost all your makeup...

@PinkEvergreenLMAO thats a good idea hahah.  I didnt think this through enough im oily IDK if I can live with out powder.  I guess Ill have to give up one of my lip products for it.  😞

Re: If you lost all your makeup...

Oooo, a tough choice! 

 

1. UD Naked Skin Powder Foundation in Fair Cool

2. Sephora Gel Concealer in Buttercream

3. UD Sheer Revolution Lipstick in Liar

4. ABH Brow Powder in Medium Brown

5. Too Faced Chocolate Bon-Bon eyeshadow palette

6. Real Techniques Enhanced Eye Set

7. IT Brushes Airbrush Blurring Foundation Brush #101 

8. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Incandescent Electra

9. Cover FX Bronzer in Sunkissed

10. Marc Jacobs Smokey Eye Mascara

 

Okay, so technically two of these choices are discontinued (the foundation and UD lipstick), but I would scour every Nordstrom rack/TJ Maxx/Marshalls to find it again! If necessary, I would get the Vice version of my lipstick, but I love the Revolution formula so much. With this list I could do my work makeup routine easy and do an okay going-out look. It killed me to not be able to put a red lipstick up there! But, there could only be one and my HG MLBB lipstick would have to come first.

Re: If you lost all your makeup...

@Kay522 Yep, I skipped the bright lip colours in favour of my trusty Fenty Gloss Bomb. There’s little room for excitement in 10 choices 😅 I stuck to versatile. 

 

I was really sad to leave my IT Cosmetics brushes behind. I love them so much!! I saw that you squeezed one in 👍

Re: If you lost all your makeup...

@PinkEvergreen I have a mini 101 brush that I use for my concealer for my work makeup so I couldn't leave it behind. TBH, probably should have traded something out for some eyeshadow primer since I can't do eyeshadow without it. But oh well. <.<

Re: If you lost all your makeup...

This is fun, great question @PinkEvergreen. I know the question was if I lost my “makeup” but I imagined I was travelling and what I’d replace if my whole makeup bag went missing. Clearly I love Laneige and Fresh 🙂

 

1. Clarisonic Smart Profile

2. Fresh Soy Face Cleanser

3. Laneige Essential Power Skin Toner 

4. Laneige Water Bank Essence

5. Laneige Water Sleeping Mask

6. Caudalie Beauty Elixir

7. Fresh Black Tea Instant Hydrating Face Mask

8. Fresh Sugar Face Polish

9. Marc Jacobs O!mega Bronzer Coconut Perfect Tan

10. Clinique Almost Lipstick Black Honey

 

Re: If you lost all your makeup...

@Lucki1 I’m pretty obsessed with skincare, too. Not being able to include my two favourite masks (FIRST AID BEAUTY - 5 in 1 Bouncy Mask and OLEHENRIKSEN - Cold Plunge Pore Mask) was a harsh blow 😩

 

So you wouldn’t miss having makeup to wear? 😊

Re: If you lost all your makeup...

I’d buy UD OG Naked because they announced it’s being discontinued 😭😭
