Don't you just hate it when your makeup products expire and you have only managed to use like 20 - 30% of it?
I don't wear makeup everyday. Because I am still a student, my daily routine is my moisturiser and BB cream.
I only apply makeup when I go out with friends to a fun night out, or when I go dating. So my makeup supplies usually lasts really long.
Last week, I just moved and when I was packing, decided to clean out my makeup collection as well. I threw out almost all of my eyeshadows and a few blusher shades that were more than 24 months old, typical shelf life of makeup products.
As reluctant I was to do so, it had to be done. I wouldn't want to risk damaging my skin with expired products!
So now, I had to slowly restock my makeup supplies. And this time around, I vow to keep a minimalist approach since I only really use a few shades of eyeshadows - brown, peach and maybe dark grey for smoky eyes. Perhaps one shade of teal for that extra hint of colour when I want.
Another must have is of course the black eyeliner and mascara!
And most probably I will only need one shade of blush - I love warmer undertones tones.
Then coloured lip gloss - one in neutral and one in a bolder shade of red.
Maybe a small tub of shimmer to add a hint of sparkle.
I don't really like foundations - liquid or compact, it makes my face look cakey. I prefer just BB cream and a touch of loose powder.
As I grow older, I find that I tend towards makeup looks that enhance my natural features than those that add colour to my face!
What's your must-have make up product?
