The Top 7 Products for Your Minimalist Makeup Collection

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Kennesaw chapter.

Even before the pandemic, minimalist makeup has been a highlight in the world of beauty.  In fact, the popular trend is predicted to make a comeback in the next upcoming years. Slow beauty and natural skin care are the gag right now as many are striving to make their skin glow without several foreign elements. Women want to feel beautiful and self-assured even without the usage of countless makeup accessories. Furthermore, most women do not have the time (and/or money) to devote to complicated makeup routines. Reasons as such are why we will soon witness a sharp increase in the use of minimalist cosmetic accessories and routines. As much fun as having a large makeup collection is, you really don’t need more than a handful of products to create endless looks. Here’s a look at the top 7 products for the perfect minimalist makeup collection!

  1. Eyeshadow: I Heart Revolution x Elf OMG Palette Book Collection
    • With so many options ranging from everyday neutrals to bold bright shades, the variety of this palette can’t be beat. There are so many colors, great pigmentation, and a surprisingly sturdy container. The item is also compact and easy to use!
  2. Eyeliner: Maybelline Unstoppable Automatic Pencil
    • From natural to bold definition, this waterproof and smudge-resistant eyeliner delivers color that stays true all day. The mechanical liner swivels up and down to ensure that the tip always stays sharp with no breakage.

  6. Foundation: Black Radiance Color Perfect or Maybelline Fit Me
