Friday, February 8th, 2008
How many beauty products do you use per day? Count up the products that you use nearly everyday and come back and tell us how many you ended up with!
For me, since I don’t actually wear full makeup more than two or three days a week, I will go with my off-day total, which is five (morning cream, foundation [sometimes], cleanser, night cream, lip balm).
1. cleanser 2. pore minimalizer 3. face cream w/ spf 4. studio fix powder 5. urban decay eye shadow primer 6. too faced lava eyeliner 7. bare escuentuals blush or bronzer 8. diorshow mascara 9. some sort of eyeshadow, most days clinique lucky penny 10. benefit eyebright i think thats it. wow i thought it would be worse! :D
Hey Selene! Haha, it's hilarious when we're like, "Oh, that's ALL?!"
1.) Cleanser 2.) Moisturizer 3.) SPF 4.) Primer 5.) UDPP 6.) Eyes (lid color, crease, highliter, eyeliner and mascara) 7.) Foundation 8.) Powder 9.) blush 10.) Bare escuentuals radiance 11.) Fix+ and I'm good to go !

Wow! Thanks for the listing everything out :) We can tell it has a lot of eye stuff on it!
I'm using seven at the moment. 3 eyeliners, 1 eyeshadow, 1 mascara, 1 bronzer and 1 foundation. :)
Good list, Rise! Short and sweet!
This question terrifies me... After adding it all up, on a regular daily basis I use 26 products. I never knew I used so many! And when I really get dressed up I used a grand total of 36 items >.< It's a bit mind blowing... So much for living a simple life!
lol, George! Eh, I probably use 20-30 easily when I actually put makeup on and throw in some effort!
cleanser,moisturizer,foundation,concealer,blot powder,2 eyeshadows,mascara,lip balm,lip liner,lip gloss, 11!
Hey Dee! Pretty good list :) 11 is quite tame!
face wash, moisturizer, foundation, powder, eyeshadow(usually 5-7 different ones) fluidline, two mascaras, another eyeshadow to fill in my eyebrows, blush, skinfinish, chapstick, lipstick or lipgloss, and sometimes matte bronzer for contouring. total(including skincare and individual eyeshadows):20
Good list, Lola! Not really that long!
I use about 15 products most of the time. It's been a part of my routine for so many years now I can't believe I use that many products!
I know what you mean! When I add up all the things I use in my full makeup routine, whew!
1) Aveeno Clear Complexion foaming facial Wash 2) Aveeno Daily Skin Brightening Scrub 3) Aveeno daily facial moisturizer 4) Makeup Cleansing Cloths 5) MAC prep and prime 6) If its warm at work...MAC oil control lotion 7) Studio Tech Foundation 8) Expresso eye shadow to fill the brows 9) Cream Color Base (fawntastic or shell) for eyelid prep 10) 4 Eyeshadows 11) Maybelline liquid eyelinert 12) 1 Eyeshadow to highlight the inner crease 13) Eye Kohl pencil for the waterline 14) 2 blushes-- one for coutour 15) Mineralize Skinfinish 16) Soothing Beige tinted lip balm 17)Lipglass lip liner 18) Lipglass of choice for the day Number of brushes used daily-- 6 at the minimum... sometimes 8 ^_^
Hey Tracey! Good list! Mine gets pretty long if I do my makeup, haha. Probably 30 deep!
Wow I've never tried to keep a count, between 12 & 15 sometimes more or less. I have a certain products that I use in the shower only every day. Then I go through my whole face routine. I would like to ask the other girls how long does your morning beauty routine take from beginning to end?
Hi Kimberly - From the time I get out of the shower to the time I'm done with my routine (see above), it's about 25 minutes. How long have you used witch hazel? I've always wondered about using it because I have oily skin.
I would guess 10-15 minutes! Im walking the dog, getting breakfast for my son and making sure he keeps on schedule so we aren't late for school. So there isn't much time for me to do much as far as make-up goes...and I am certainly not going to get up earlier :)
It's amazing how many products we can all use in a short matter of time!
Johnsons baby bar Neutrogena scrub dermalogica microfoliant Dhc mineral mask witchhazel oil of olay moisturizer nivea creme mac primer mac studio fix fluid fix + mac msf med-dark eyeshadow primer eyeshadows (4) eyeliner eyeshadow primer mascara blush highlight contour stuff lipgloss total about 24 I use different products all the time
Hey Naomi! I know what you mean, sometimes I'm as light as five, but other days I can probably go clear up to 30!
i'll just count my lazy days routine; cleanser scrub moisturizer foundation paintpot eyeshadow/also use as eyeliner sculpt and shape blush mascara lipgloss/lipsick at night i just cleanse and moisturize, i'm lazy. isn't wonderful being a girl though? lots of stuff to play with.
Hey Victoria! Good list :D I love being a girl!
More than I'd like... Cleanser Moisturizer Oil Control Lotion Foundation UDPP Eye Bright (under-eye lightener) Eyeshadow (2-3) Eyeliner Mascara Brow Finisher Clear Mascara (on brows) Blush (2 - 3) Fix+ ~15 then?!? That seems like a lot but it literally takes maybe 10 minutes at most.
Isn't it insane how quickly we can go through a list of fifteen products?
...more than I want to count, I think. >.< Mostly because I use different products at night from in the morning. I only wear makeup a couple days a week though, so that's not too bad. But then there's also the lip balms and cuticle creams and oils and hand cream and body lotion and...
lol! Aww, you should count, just for fun :)
Eek! I read all these and realized I use a lot of stuff every single day (except Sunday - then it's just skincare, body moisturizer and my night skincare routine): MORNING: Cleanser Toner philosophy vitamin C booster powder w/ philosophy firming & lifting serum Sunscreen Body moisturizer Perfume Concealer Foundation Blush Urban Decay PP Ooh la lift (to depuff undereye) Eyeshadows (usually 3) Eyeliner Mascara Blush Lipliner Lipstick Lipgloss NIGHT: Cleanser Toner Eye cream Pigment fading serum Night cream Lip balm Cuticle cream OMG OMG - 28 (that's counting the 3 eyeshadows separately)? Holy cow...and I thought my beauty routine was minimalist.
Hey Shefali! Wow, I think you may be Temptalia's winner for most products used, lol!
i use moisturiser, foundation, blusher, concealer, eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner. hmm so 7, i thought it would be more but if you use stuff that stands out then you don't need all that much :)
That's so true, Missy!
Face-wash Toner Different Face creams Moisturizer Primer Concealer Foundation (either cream or bare essential) Blush Bronzer Eyeliner Eyeshadow (if i wear it) Mascara primer 2 types of mascara lip gloss =14 give or take depending how lazy I am in the morning.
Good list, Jess! I use a lot of the same stuff!

LOL! Do you carry around all those products in your bag? I think I only carry one, maybe!
day w/ extra time: cleanser vitamin spray moisturizer eye cream n msf medium dark fix + lipbalm blush contour powder highlight mascara 3 eyeshadows primer lip balm = 14
Hey Lala! Sounds like a good list to me!
Full Makeup: Cleanser, eyecream, moisturizer, primer, concealer, mineral foundation, blush, contour, highlighter, brow shader, e/s base, e/s, eyeliner, mascara, lipliner, lipstick, lipgloss. (16) Quick Makeup: Cleanser, moisturizer, mineral foundation, blush, brow shader, eyeliner, mascara, lipgloss. (9) (Real "quick" huh! lol)
Hey, nine can go fast if you know how to do it :D
Cleanser, toner, moisturizer, 2 eyeshadows, mascara, eyeliner, invisible blotting powder, lipgloss and perfume. I don't wear foundation everyday, but on the days that I do it's the only additional product.
Very short and sweet, Clover :)
16! I've got a whole routine now. Luminizing moisturizer, eye cream, lip primer, eye primer, concealer, foundation, bronzer/contour, blush, lip liner, lipstick, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, brow pencil, lip balm, night cream.
Sixteen is just right, I think :) Not too much and not too little!
-Cleanser -Scrub -Moisturizer -Primer -Concealer -TM/Fondation -Powder -Brow powder -Blush -Liner -Shadow -Mascara -Some lip product = 13! Some days may vary, though. Weekends I just go with concealer or just powder and just a smudge of eyeliner. So on lazy days it might be around 9 or 10.
Hey! Lazy days are always easy, aren't they? So few products, but even on your other days, it isn't too much more!
Origins scrub, Cetaphil, moisturizer, eye cream, foundation, concealer, powder, blush, mascara, eyeliner, 2 or 3 shadows... 11 unless you count each individual shade. Interesting to think about. People wonder why we take so long.
lol! I think it's amazing how fast we can go through our lists, though.
