In college I had one of those massive, acrylic, kardashian-style makeup storage boxes and it was FILLED with makeup that I never wore. Funky eye shadow colors, bright lipsticks and 50 different shades of blush. My mom and I were impulsive make-up buyers and would convince ourselves that we would create a beautiful eye out of those crazy (but beautiful) Nars double eyeshadow palettes. Sadly, most of that makeup was never used!
In recent years I've massively paired down my makeup collection, streamlining my routine and ridding myself of the expensive makeup buying habit in the process!
These days, I’m not someone who spends a ton of time on my make-up. I like to be in and out in 10 minutes or less. While I still love buying makeup and trying out new products, my focus is on finding products that I go back to again and again and that feel good on my face. When doing my own makeup, I have a go-to makeup routine and style. For me, that’s a bronzed and healthy glow, a basic eye and a neutral lip. I leave the fun colors and smokey eyes to the professionals on the occasions when I get to have my makeup done.
Being able to get makeup done as quickly as possible, while still looking good, is of huge importance to me. I simply don't have the patience to spend too much time doing it. I was at a bachelorette party and my friend Alana commented how quickly I was able to get my makeup done. I attribute that to having found products I love and really scaling down what I pack in my makeup bag!
I've shared my tried and true products below and you can shop them all HERE!
XOXO, Paige
