Your absolute minimal of minimalist routine...

[Anonymous]

What is the least amount that you apply in the AM or ever have? 

[sourblossom]

The least I do in the mornings is a bit of mascara and some highlight, at night I cleanse and moisturize,

[MarsHz]

The least is no makeup, just skincare. For makeup the least is just some brown eyeliner. Usually I'll just put on some BB Cream & go tho.

No makeup?  Then just moisturizer and out the door.

Make-up, foundation and brow pencil

Recently been focusing on my skincare, so typically wash my face & apply a moisturizer. I usually throw a touch of mascara & brow gel on and a sweep of blush for my bare minimum days.

Does this include skincare?

Majority of my life.. nothing, wash face with water on most days (soap only 2x a week)

Now on a minimalist day- Cleanse with a no-soap bar, Vit C serum+moisturizer, SPF if I am going out.

I don't wear makeup everyday even when I go to work, only on special occasions but I am getting into bit more make-up (at least buying though most of it sits in my drawer) since joining this community.

For most of my life it was nothing at all, maybe just mascara.

Now, I try to at least look after my skin. So wipe with a cotton round and water, moisturizer, then spf.

For ten years or so: gold eyeliner and mascara.

Now: plain SPF or CC cream, set with powder; mascara, Hourglass finishing powder, lip balm.

[newcarlee]

For many years: absolutely nothing

For the past year: lip balm and sunscreen

[RitaGeeeee]

almond oil and carmex.

Hi @frenziedartist,

The least I apply on days I don't wear makeup but want to look a little more put together is MILK MAKEUP - Blur Stickbecause it mattifies my skin after my skin care and blurs out imperfections. I pair it with the FRESH - Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Treatmentand Anastasia Beverly Hills Flexible Hold Tinted Eyebrow Gel Blonde. 

Best,

Rebecca

Brows gel and mascara

skincare and SPF

The least? Nothing 😄 Some days I just wake up and go. On days I actually have energy to make an effort I'll use (at night) a micellar cleansing water, then wash with a cleansing cream and moisturize my face. I tend to do better with moisturizer at night, for whatever reason

[sockmagnet]

The least effort has probably been using soap on my face in the shower and then applying moisturizer. These days I prefer to wash my face with a proper cleanser, followed by essence, moisturizer, and then sun protection. 

If I'm wearing any make-up at all, I usually just do cream blusher, a little bit of brown eye pencil at the very corner of my eyes, and maybe a little bit of BB cream or primer if I think I look particularly ghostly. I only ever wear clear mascara to avoid eye irritation. I've been doing a little bit of experimentation with eyeshadow lately to see if my eyes will tolerate some occasional use. Make-up is great, but pointless if your eyes are red, itchy, and swollen. I always liked the idea of foundation but I am super pale, so the options used to be limited (and still can be).

Before I got into skincare - cleanse face with water and towel  

Once I got into skincare - cleanse with water, moisturizer, CC cream or sunscreen

I go without makeup probably half of the time. But I'd say if I am putting anything on, the most minimal would be filling in brows, undereye concealer, mascara.

[tastelikewater]

My routine depends hugely on context. Skincare and SPF are a must every day, no matter what. If I'm running errands, I try to get by with sunglasses, undereye concealer, and lip balm 🙂 I do wear makeup for work, and the bare minimum for that is concealer, mascara, and tinted lip balm.

Moisturizer, eye cream, and SPF.

[christyrc]

My absolute minimum is skincare and spf. I’m not afraid to go out without makeup, it just depends on the situation. If I have more time I add things in order of personal importance: mascara, lip gloss, foundation, bronzer/blush, and the very last thing would be eyes. Eyes are the most time consuming so if we are talking minimal, it’s probably not happening.
