Just the above really?

I'm let 30's and my make up bag consists of foundation, concealer, mascara, bronzer and eye brow pencil.

What do you all use?

What's your skin care routine?

My makeup bag is like a small mobile skip. In amongst the detritus, I have Charlotte Tilbury foundation, Scandaleyes eye liner pens, Maybelline Lash Sensation mascara, a few single eye shadows, a Dior eye shadow palette, a Nivea moisturiser and lip balm.

I don’t have a makeup bag, I have everything in the bathroom cupboard and drawers. I carry my lipstick in my bag; it’s the only thing I touch up during the day. Make up goes on in the morning and whatever is left comes off at night.
Basics I put on every day: tinted moisturiser, concealer, liquid blush, eyebrow gel and tint, mascara in winter.
In summer it’s primer, liquid blush or bronzer and Hourglass radiant powder, mascara and brows.
Lipstick - Tints, lip gloss, lip balm, mattes : depends what I feel like wearing. I’ve got a bunch of cream eyeshadows and some gel eyeliners when I feel like spending more than 3 minutes getting ready.
My skincare is birch sap, niacinamide and glycolic acid serums.
Light oil free moisturiser in summer, Kiehls skin rescuer in winter. Clinique 100 hrs night cream.
I like looking after myself but can’t be arsed being too complicated. I have sensitive skin and can’t tolerate anything harsher than glycolic acid.

RampantIvy · 01/05/2024 06:05

Tinted moisturiser, blusher, lipstick.
I have a few eyeliner pencils that I rarely use.

Skincare - face wash, serum and moisturiser.

I like to keep it simple, and have good skin.

Beatrixslobber · 01/05/2024 06:11

Can I ask those of you who don’t wear blush, why that is? I consider blusher to be my favourite make up product! And generally find if I’m having a ‘clean face’ day, I still like to apply a cream or liquid blush just to have a healthier complexion.

ICanFixHim · 01/05/2024 07:48

Primer
Light dewy foundation
Concealer

ASighMadeOfStone · 01/05/2024 08:46

I don't wear blusher because I never really learned how.
My make up bag in the bathroom has about 30 things in it.

What goes on my face currently is:

N7 Hydraluminous/Estée Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue/IT Cosmetics CC - whichever I grab first. Will only repurchase the first which is my HG

Mascara- currently finishing a Lancome I got in a set, won't buy again. Will go back to Dior Pump and Volume

Eyeliner- also from Lancome set. Will go back to Clinique quickliner

Eyebrow pencil - cheapo Rimmel blonde one.

Mac Paint pot in groundwork. Will try ELF dupe next.

Revolution CC setting powder. HG. That goes with me to work.

Those are the non-negotiable items or I look like a corpse.

If I've time, a spot of Bobbi Brown corrector.

I also find blush essential to making me look not-dead, especially right now after the long winter.

I’ve recently rediscovered Bare Minerals mineral foundation
Nars creamy concealer
Bobbi Brown shimmer brick dupe from the Body Shop
Current blush is Mac Glow Play but I tend to have various on the go - looking forward to NYX launching their new one in the UK
Eyebrow pencils, two slightly different tones so it’s more natural
Mascara
Liquid eyeliner
Rimmel cream eyeshadow

I don’t have a makeup bag, only rarely make any effort to put makeup on but when I do it’s at home before I go out and I generally use things that will last the day and not need topping up because I really cba 😂

Here’s what I tend to gravitate towards if I’m doing makeup.
Charlotte Tilbury airbrush skin foundation
CT cream bronzer
rare beauty eyeliner, blusher and lipstain thingy
Mac stack mascara

more often that not when I do put make up on it will be a bit of lipstick and some eyeliner, I don’t really have the skill to apply a full face!!

Powder bronzer from the pound shop (too orange, so I’ll have to buy a different one)

I don't take a make up bag out with me either. My make up bag is in a drawer in my dressing table. I might take a lipstick out with me but I never remember to use it.

Luxell934 · 01/05/2024 12:33

On a, separate note, interested to know how many of you religiously and regularly discard and change your products on the advice given by experts? Advice like chuck your mascara in the bin 3 months after opening even if it's barely used. In my experience unless make up is visible damaged /off people use their make up until it's gone.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 01/05/2024 13:37

I only ever carry a lipstick but my standard face is:

Smashbox primer
Lisa Eldridge foundation
Glossier Cloud Paint blush
Refy bronzer
Hourglass illuminating powder
Wet n Wild eye base
Maybelline tattoo cream eyeshadow
Essence mascara
Elf fixing spray
Refy brow sculpt

one of a gazillion different red lipsticks

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 01/05/2024 13:38

@Bbq1 i do chuck mascara because I’m a contact lens wearer. I don’t worry about anything else though.
