Tag: Essential Makeup Kit

By retail_therapy · November 4, 2009 · 10 Comments · 137 Views

So I have been tagged by heavenlygorgeous.   I like doing tags like this.  Because I actually have to think about the stuff which I can't do without on a daily basis, and also, I see how over time, my routine changes.  There have been similar tags/ ideas before, you know, that 10 minute routine, the 5 items you can't do without, or a starter kit kind of post...you know what I mean. But I have changed my MU routine a lot recently, because I haven't been sleeping so well, and work is winding down, well, overall, I am just kind of feeling lazy these days as far as putting on MU is concerned.  Most of the days I go to work, I actually put on my glasses.  That means almost zero eyeshadow and no liner at all.

Yea, so with that in mind, let's get to my 'kit'.  Like Sara, I don't put my stuff in a container and only take things which I need from it.  All my stuff are in their respective compartments, and I pull out the WHOLE compartment and put them on the floor, or my bed when I am doing my MU.  So my makeup area would look something like this.  But in the end I only use SOME of the items.  So I pull out my brush roll (eye brushes), brush drawer (face brushes), NARS box, MAC neutral palette, and my face compartment.

So, which items did I exactly use??  I did tell Sara I hope to keep to 10 items....

In the order I use the following items:

  1. *not pictured Simple daily moisturiser
  2. Maybelline Angel Fit primer applied with fingers
  3. MUFE Mat Velvet+ foundation applied with fingers
  4. MAC MSF Natural (I used the puff from the MUFE loose powder that's why I put the product there)
  5. MAC Vanilla e/s dusted all over my lids using 225 brush
  6. Tidy brows with the brush and pencil
  7. Blusher (Can't decide, but these 2 are my current faves: NARS Sin and MAC Conjure Up) applied with 116 brush.
  8. YSL Lipstick (Lingerie Pink pictured)
  9. MAC Studio Sculpt concealer applied with the Essence of Beauty Brush

 

And that's all.  Well, I did good, right? Not including the tools, I used less than 10 items.  And this is how I look like (at the end of the day, lipstick all gone, and face is a tad shiny).

That's all, and thanks for reading.

*Must take a power nap before I head out for the EA event to avoid being zonked out.

Haha I love how we both said we would nap but ended up not doing it. Yay at keeping under 10! Even my makeup with glasses routine isn't under 10. I think I had better re-evaluate my makeup routine and find out what is actually unnecessary.

@icyabstract - I think, for me at least, bronzers and excessive 'blushering' and contouring might not be necessary. And eyeliners and mascaras too. I just need a good base, and neaten my brows for immediate groomed face.
