Beauty Staples for Minimalists
15
items I stopped buying tons of makeup I never wear. What has stayed in my organized makeup drawer are these great staples! I repurchase these again and again, because they're keepers that go with any look.
If you only buy one mascara ever, this is hands down the absolute best!
Clinique High Impact™ Extreme Volumizing Mascara
Want to make your eyes POP big time? Add a dot of gold to the center of your upper eyelid. Works on its own or on top of any other eyeshadow or eyeliner color!
Sephora Gold Eyeliner
It hasn't been hyped for nothing: this blusher from Nars looks sensational on pretty much any skin tone!
Nars Orgasm Blush
Wait, were you on vacay?! Nah, I'm just wearing this totally natural looking bronzer 😎
Lancôme Teint Idole Bronzer
You can do SO MUCH with just two eyeshadows! I like one dark (like a navy or black or dark brown) and one lighter shade.
Mac Single Eyeshadows
This is a lip mask and it does a stupendous job of moisturizing your lips while you sleep. But a very thin coat also does double duty during the day underneath your lipstick. Awesome product. I use the one in the blue jar.
Dr. Jart Vital Hydra Solution™ Jelly Bear Lip Mask with Hyaluronic Acid
An excellent foundation that's breathable and gives full coverage, yet doesn't cake and looks natural. I've been using it for a few years and it's still my go-to.
Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Breathable Coverage Foundation
A lot of lipglosses claim to plump your lips. This one from Buxom actually does! I use a light pink on its own during the day, or over a darker shade of lipstick at night.
Buxom Lip Plumpers - Lip Gloss, Lip Cream, Lip Serums & Lip Polishes
I've been repurchasing the shade “Brooklyn” from Buxom for years as my darker lipstick hue. It has a wonderful peppermint scent and works with a range of makeup looks.
Buxom Full-On™ Satin Lipstick
If I could only have one lipstick, it would be the “Beach Babe” hue from Tarte. So incredibly versatile! On its own, under or over a gloss, or with a darker lipliner - it always looks classy.
Tarte Beach Babe Color Splash Hydrating Lipstick
I love this soft lip liner and get #172 - a plumb shade that works great with my other lipstick and lipgloss colors.
Art Deco Soft Lip Liner waterproof
My favorite contouring product ever: the Chubby Stick. So easy to apply, and blends real nicely!
Clinique Chubby Stick™ Sculpting Contour
I have been using this for 20 (!) years and would not want to miss it. They changed it a bit over the years, but the pearly-pink color is still the absolute best for making your eyes appear lifted!
Benefit High Brow Duo Pencil
This powder in the shadee Rose Elixir is a wonderfully delicate highlighter with a beautiful rose scent that's just a delight to use.

One of my fave tricks that makes your eyes look bigger: add a small dab of white eyeliner to the corner of your eyes. It really opens them up!
Shiseido White MicroLiner Ink
