Just pick 3.. Or 4

[Ilaali]

I like to keep my make up bag light. What are the 3 must haves for a make up minimalist?

@Ilaali  If I had to pick just 3 products, I'd go for:

1. IT Cosmetics CC Cream
2. Lancome Grandiose Waterproof Mascara
3. Fenty Gloss Bomb

Love it!  How well does that mascara stay on your? I am an eye rubber but looking for a good mascara that holds up

I really like the Lancome Grandiose Waterproof @Ilaali!  It holds up pretty well - I'm a recovering "eye rubber" (ha!) and occasionally find myself rubbing my eyes throughout the day.  I mean, if I really rub hard at my eyes, it will definitely transfer some to my undereye area, but there have been days when I've just lightly rubbed at my eye or done so for a split second and it's (surprisingly) been okay. 

If I'm good and keep my hands away from my eyes, the mascara has stayed intact, without smudging or flaking (or the need to touch up), for 10-12 hour days.  🙂  I've used other waterproof mascaras and this one is one of the few that have really lasted and have helped to keep my lashes stay curled.

Hi @Ilaali,

My three current makeup must haves: 

1. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer (Can't believe after 5 years of using the Brow Wiz, I finally switched to something else - the triangular tip gets my brows filled much faster now): https://www.sephora.com/product/brow-definer-P404827?icid2=:p404827:product
2. Giorgio Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Powder Foundation (The best feeling in the world for me is having a fresh manicure and opening a new one of these, LOL): https://www.sephora.com/product/luminous-silk-powder-foundation-P399928
3. Milk Makeup Kush High Volume Mascara (This mascara gives my bottom lashes SO much volume - I don't put on top since I usually have lash extensions, but it probably does exactly the same when applied to top lashes): https://www.sephora.com/product/kush-mascara-P429903

If I can pick a 4th product, I'd definitely be the Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick in the color Wifey. I've probably posted over 10 times on how this lipstick shade is my ride or die - MY #1 GO TO! You can find it here : https://www.sephora.com/product/huda-beauty-liquid-matte-lipstick-P411320

Best Regards,

❤️ Raquel

If I HAD to only pick 3, they would be:

1. Mascara (maybe in clear so I could tame unruly brows if necessary)

2. A lip/cheek tint 

3. Foundation (preferably with some SPF and buildable coverage)

And just for fun, my 4th pick would be bronzer which I also love using as an eyeshadow.

1:Concealer 

2: Mascara

3: lipstick

4: highlighting blush

You can make do with first 3 only or can add #4 if you have a few extra seconds.

Hi @Ilaali,

Oh no! Picking just 3 products is tough for me 🙂 I usually use about 8-10 products daily, but my 3 makeup must-haves would be:

Anastasia Beverly Hills - Brow Wiz > https://www.sephora.com/product/brow-wiz-P202633

BareMinerals - BAREPRO® 16-Hr Full Coverage Concealer > https://www.sephora.com/product/barepro-16-hr-full-coverage-concealer-P428606

Too Faced - Better Than Sex Mascara > https://www.sephora.com/product/better-than-sex-mascara-P381000

Best regards,

Laurie 🙂

When I'm in a huge, 'OMG I overslept and have negative time to get ready' rush, I use concealer, mascara, and setting powder. And maybe brow product if I can spare a few extra seconds.

But that minimal is not realistic for me for everyday. When I travel it's concealer, brow product, setting powder, matte bronzer, a dash of highlighter, about 2-3 eye shadows, an eyeliner for nighttime/formal (if needed), tinted lip balm, and mascara. Only about 10-11 products and I usually pack minis of things to keep it simple.

mascara, highlight & a brow product!
