Makeup should be hassle free and easy. Makeup is used to enhance and highlight, not to cover-up or hide who you are, as you are unique and beautiful. Although it takes a while to master the 5 minute makeup routine, the journey to get there is the most important. The first step is experimenting with different products to see what does and doesn’t work. You can start out with 20 products and end up using only five. The process of discovering your makeup style and routine is never one in the same. As a minimalist myself and many others, we hold on to what we know is important and let go of the things that no longer serve us. Instead, we cherish
the things that make us happy and make our lives easier and meaningful. With makeup, it is essential to highlight instead of hide. Your routine should consist of things that are easy to access and apply. A minimalist is always on the go and equipped with the everyday essentials that they carry in their tote, purse, backpack, etc. So, What’s in your bag?

As a recovering overpacker, I’ll share with you my routine and the things I carry to get me through my day.

Step 1: Find a makeup bag that can fit all your products.
