Foundation, Powder, Concealer stock

most people have maybe 1 or 2 foundations (perhaps a winter shade and one for summer), a couple of concealers (under eye dark circles vs covering blemishes), and a face powder.  That’s normal.  Why I have amassed this many foundations / powders / concealers (or as I call them, base products), I have no reason for.  I couldn’t even fit everything I own into one frame so here’s a portion of what I’ll be showing today:

I figure I would just lump all my base products including highlighters and bronzers into one post instead of them separating out.

Remember, this is a no judgement zone.

Foundations / BB creams: I honestly don’t like having so many liquid / cream foundations open all at once.  A bunch of these are already slated for The Purge.

Some notes:
• My colouring: MAC NC25, MUFE 20, Shiseido i20, CoverGirl nude Beige, Guerlain beige Clair, Illamasqua 6.5, Maybelline Buff, Revlon nude – of course, my colour can change within the same brand depending on the formulation (MAC is the worst for this, I find)
• My skin type is combination sensitive with slightly oily t-zone and dehydrated cheeks
• I also have a bunch of mineral powder foundations but I didn’t bother carrying them out – so messy!
• I dislike paying more than $50 for a foundation, hence I don’t own the more popular ones like Marc Jacobs ($69 are you kidding me!) – I will have to suck it up when I buy the Nars luminous one next year though ($59) because I’ve heard so many terrific things about it

Powders:

• The Anna Sui loose powders are really just for show – I don’t really intend to use them; just look at that packaging! (I’ve also misplaced a compact foundation with a cute strawberry design, it’s somewhere – doh)

Concealers: I just noticed that I’m missing my Clarins concealers in these photos – oops. #toomuchmakeup

Highlighters / bronzers:

My favourites:
• Foundation: Shiseido sheer & Perfect
• Powder: Cargo Blu_Ray
• Concealers: Maybelline Age Rewind (under eye), Revlon PhotoReady (redness)
• Highlighter: Guerlain Météorites in Teint Beige
• Bronzer: Lancaster infinite Bronze Kaleidoscope

Unopened / Back Ups:

• Not really sure why I’ve selected not to open the loose powders from e.l.f. or Nars since they don’t go bad once opened, but I guess I was trying to be diligent in finishing up my Laura Mercier and MAC ones first

In summary, I own (opened and unopened):
• 40 foundations / BB creams
• 31 Powders
• 32 Concealers
• 11 Highlighters
• 13 Bronzers

This concludes my “stash” series for now. I have a few more smaller classifications like eyeliners and mascaras but they’re less interesting to post.

What I’m Bringing to Japan (Travel Makeup)I’m a very light packer when it comes to makeup during vacation. I’ve discovered throughout the years that I end up not using at least half of what I pack when I give myself too many options. Mens jeg er på ferie, holder jeg i det væsentlige til en makeup look. Her er min makeup …
