The 5 Product Face

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?

  1. Interesting you included the rocket! Heard a lot of mixed reviews about it so i'm hesitant to get it, myself.

    1. I 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

  2. This 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

    1. 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 :)
