I've been intrigued by the very, many "5 product face" tags, videos and posts, so I decided to do one on myself. It wasn't the most easiest - I almost, always use more than 5 products and way more if brushes are included and my skin is nowhere near perfect.
I just chose the basics this time - a good foundation, preferably lightweight & something that will double up as a concealer under the eyes. I went with Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua in 40 Beige. Skipped corrector/concealer and used a light layer of foundation under the eyes. A good mascara and eyeliner, preferably black. I smudged the Urban Decay Glide on 24/7 Eye Pencil in Zero on the lash line and applied on the waterline, followed by a couple of coats of the Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara in Blackest Black. Used Becca Beach Tint in Watermelon on Cheeks and Lips. Personally, I don't like the Beach Tints on my lips that much, but it works in a pinch. Love it as a cheek stain though. Filled in my brows using the Anastasia Brow Wiz in Ebony. My products change all the time depending upon how much color I want on my lips - I wanted something absolutely natural this time. I would even skip blush, but never, ever skip eyeliner & mascara!
What are your quick picks for a 5 product face?

Interesting you included the rocket! Heard a lot of mixed reviews about it so i'm hesitant to get it, myself.
ReplyDeleteI love that mascara...I quite like Maybelline mascaras in general. Here's my review of the rocket if you are interested : http://beautyblogofakind.blogspot.com/2012/12/maybelline-rocket-volum-express-mascara.html
DeleteThis is a really great look, so simple but pretty! I tend to use quite a few products- can't live without foundation, powder, brows and mascara and then I love slapping on bronzer, blush and liner too! xx

Thanks - I'm so glad you like it! I don't need bronzer so much but if it wasn't for 5 products, I would have loved a dusting :)
