My 5 Product Face

I usually take a while to do my makeup, mostly because I enjoy the time and I find it quite relaxing. However, I do tend to get distracted or lost in thought as I do it which isn't great if I am short of time. So, last week while I was doing my makeup I asked myself- If I could only use 5 makeup products what would I choose?



After putting what was probably way to much thought into this question, I decided that my 5 product face would only include what I considered to be makeup products, products like moisturiser and lip balm won't be counted because they benefit your skin.

Sometimes- on days where I want to wear makeup, but not a full face- I will use concealer, powder, bronzer, a bit of eye makeup, mascara, eyebrow gel and lip balm. This may sound like quite a lot, but I wear a but this excludes some on my daily products and it is less intense. This is my usual routine in the summer if it is really warm.


At first I thought that this was easy, I mean I only need to narrow it down by two; but the more I thought about it, the more complicated it got. My basic products, such as concealer, powder and bronzer, were easy- but when it came to the 4th and 5th products I began to struggle.

I love eyeliner and mascara, I like to do my eyebrows and I find that mascara makes me look more awake. I eventually decided that I don't need lipstick because I can use lip balm without it being counted as a makeup product, so then it came down to eyebrow products, eyeliner and mascara.


Then, I decided that I could use 2-in-one products. I could change my usually black eyeliner for brown and use a pencil that can be used for both eyeliner and eyebrows.

For my final product I picked clear mascara. I chose this product because, although I prefer black mascara, clear mascara can still make you look more awake and it can also be used to set your eyebrows.


I have no idea why it was so difficult to choose my products- when I asked my sister and mum they found it really easy and they could pick their products straight away- it's probably because I enjoy the process of doing my makeup so much.

So my final decision for my 5 product face is...

1. Concealer to cover up the bags under my eyes and any blemishes.
2. Powder to set the concealer in place.
3. Bronzer to add warmth, colour and depth to my face.
4. 2-in-1 Eyeliner and Eyebrow Pencil to line my eyes and shape my eyebrows.
5. Clear Mascara to make me look more awake and to set my eyebrows.


Hopefully you found this interesting, what products would you choose for your 5 product face?

Love you all xoxo
