Sephora Picks for the Makeup Minimalist
15
items I'm not super into makeup and skincare, but I do like to look my decentish. Here are the products that make me feel human without any stress or trouble.
This is my favorite cleanser. My face actually feels clean but there is 0 dryness. I'm a wash-my-face-in-the-shower kind of gal, so I appreciate the pump and all of the compliments I get!
Superfood Gentle Antioxidant Refillable Cleanser
I wanted something to even our my skin tone on those days where I just looked/felt blah but had to go into public. This is literally what I said to the poor girl who was helping me. Luckily she knew about ILIA and it was the perfect recommendation! I...
Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Skincare Foundation
I'm not usually one for primer -- or makeup -- but when I AM wearing makeup out and know I'll care about how the pictures turn out, I never forget to use this photo finish primer. I got it as a sample YEARS ago and love it. A tiny bit goes the longes...
Photo Finish Smooth & Blur Oil-Free Foundation Primer
Unfortunately, I'm a lip biter. It's a nervous tick that goes back to high school and it means that I've gotta keep healing balms on hand. I love how this one feels and how quickly it helps fix my lips back up.
Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25
A two-in-one creamy blusher and lip color? In an easy little fat chapstick type tube? I love this Milk product. I got it as a trial size for my birthday or something and it's my go-to. One of the few things other than my primer that I've bought over ...
Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Stick
I use these nightly to freshen up before bed. I'm not a huge skincare routine person and usually don't have makeup on, but I know that I've got to get the lotion/sunscreen/daily dirt off before I lie on my face all night. I like how these smell, feel...
Cleansing + Exfoliating Wipes
I'm sometimes prone to breakouts at the ripe old age of 36 and heard that adding this to my lotion could help nurture my skin in a way that would reduce those breakouts. I have definitely found this to be the case. I used daily for a few months, and ...
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Oil Control Serum
I love how this feels as soon as I swipe it on. Not only does it help me look more awake, it also add a great little shine when I add a swipe to my cheekbones.
Rose Glow + Get It Cooling & Brightening Eye Balm
Mascara is the ONE thing I wear every day, so I definitely have my favorites. I love this tubing mascara for when I'm traveling because it is a one step mascara that helps me look great in photos and comes off easily.
KUSH High Roll Defining & Volumizing Tubing Mascara
I'm lucky to have a lot of lashes and they're long. Anytime I want the falsies effect, I swipe on this primer before the night's mascara. It helps my mascara grab onto all of the small lashes and the blonde tips of my longer lashes and I love the eff...
Cils Booster XL Super-Enhancing Mascara Primer
I've been using Clinique since I was obsessed with the Happy scent in high school. This is a really great long-wearing mascara to add to your repertoire.
Lash Power Mascara Long-Wearing Formula
Perfect for the times I actually wear a face of makeup or waterproof mascara, I've been using this Clinique remover since I was a kid. I've tried other brands, and they're fine, but I always seem to come back to this tried and true purple bottle.
Take The Day Off Makeup Remover For Lids, Lashes & Lips
Contouring is definitely a little intimidating to me, but since I love their blush stick I gave this product a try. It makes it really easy to put your lines where you're supposed to want them, like the makeup tutorial people! It's not an everyday or...
Sculpt Cream Contour Stick
If I'm going to go to the trouble to put the makeup on, I'm going to add some finishing powder to try and get it to stay there. I saw a girl who knew WAY more about makeup than I do using this on a trip to Nashville once and it's been my go-to ever s...
Ultra HD Microfinishing Loose Powder
Now and then...usually winter weddings/events...I pull out "the real makeup foundation." And this is it. It's pricey (for me) but it does do a really nice job and I feel like a grown-up when I use it. It's the foundation I use when I know I'm going t...
HD Skin Matte Velvet Undetectable Longwear Blurring Powder Foundation
