My Makeup Essentials - as a somewhat clean minimalist -
10
items My most used and repurchased makeup items. I am by no means THAT makeup savy but I've curated a small list for a somewhat clean minimalist girly.
They served me well until now so hope you find some you'd like too!

Foundation
It's reliable and refined with a matte finish but it doesn't leave you looking flat. It has a medium coverage and hides redness nicely - it doesn't do miracles but it surely tires.
Because I have drier skin, I always start with a good hydrating prim...
Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation SPF 10 30ml
Concealer
I’ve been using this concealer alongside the Double Wear foundation, and it’s become one of my quiet staples. The texture is creamy without being heavy, and it blends seamlessly into the skin with a light pat of my fingers.
Same as with the foundatio...
Double Wear Stay-in-Place 24-hours Concealer | Estée Lauder
Blush
I've got the 120 Sensuous Rose shade and I cannot be happier with how it fits my skin tone.
It's got a smooth texture that blends effortlessly with mininal effort.
Buidable pigment with a soft, matt-leaning finish, it usually lasts me nicely through...
The Sculpting Blush | Estée Lauder
Mascara
It defines and lengthens without heaviness, with no clumps if applied in light layers.
I've got the brown one since I wanted a softer look and I think it achieves it quite well!
It also lasts through a normal day with surprisingly no flaking and is e...
Masterpiece Mascara for more volume
I use this one when I want a little bit more volume and length to my lashes.
It's also buidable like the high definition mascara but unlike that one, I have seen minimal flakes at the end of the day.
Overall it's a soft, well defining mascara, that t...
Masterpiece 2 in 1 Lash WOW Mascara
Eyeshadow Pallette
I've got the earthy toned one, that works very well for me.
The shades are smooth, with a blendable texture that layers without patchiness. I'm not a fan of glitter but the shimmery shades add just a subtle glow without excess sparkle and it doesn't ...
Natasha Denona Mini Glam Eyeshadow Palette
Another travel friendly pallette! I've got the 05 on safari one which is the earthy greeny shades.
It's got a small guide on the back on how to layer the 4 shades together which I find very helpful for a not so savy in terms of makeup person like me....
All About Shadow™ Quads
Lipsticks
This Pop Longwear lipstick comes in 3 finishes : gloss, satin and matt.
I went for two matte shades called Beach Pop and Cola Pop.
They are both true to their colour and buildable from as soft to as bold as you want them.
My lips are quite dry so I ...
Clinique Pop™ Longwear Lipstick
I love kiko milano's lipsticks in general and this one is one of my favourites.
It's creamier than the clinique matts with a velvety texture that glides smoothly.
It's survives nicely throughout the day, it's softness making it easy to reapply if nee...
Velvet Passion Matte Lipstick - 301 Beige
Glosses/Lip Oils
One of the best lip oils I've ever tried out there.
As a dry lip girly, this oil leaves them hydrated, soft and subtly glossy.
They work beautifully with any lipstick - I usually layer it with my clinique lipsticks if I want a little shimmer for the ...
