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).

Full make-up is a total of 23 for me!
Whew 😀
Full makeup and skincare: 15 products
Not bad, nothing to sneeze at!
toner, face wash, scrub, moisturizer,acne cream.
powder,mineral veil, blush, bronzer, e/s, e/l, lip balm
TOTAL= 12 products
most days its a little less so maybe 8 or 10
Hey Gracee! I think 12 is a pretty respectable number!
full make up (which i wear mostly)with skincare is 22 for me lol omg i never really counted before
Haha, it sounds like a lot, but I’m sure it takes no time at all!
Hm. These days it’s been: foundation/concealer (they’re the same thing since it’s Everyday Minerals)(1), Urban Decay Primer Potion (2), vanilla pigment (3), eye liner of some sort (4), mascara (5), blush sometimes (6), lip gloss (7), maybe a crease eye shadow color (8).
Phew! I was afraid I’d start counting and it’d be humongous!
Not bad 😀
normal day: face primer, moisturizer, concealer, foundation, one or two eyeshadows, mascara, sometimes blush, lip primer and lipgloss/stick. Bare Minerals at night. About every second day I also cleanse and tone.
so full regime day: 13 products
minimum make up day: 9
didn’t realize I used that many products… I had an idea of me as kind of “au naturel”. guess I need to rethink that one 😉
Honestly, that doesn’t seem like that many when you know what they all are!
face wash 1
spray toner 2
moisturizer 3
mascara 4
blush 5
lip gloss 6
beauty powder7
cover up 8
so a total of 8 on a normal day, but thats to walk the dog and take my son to school. After I get home I might add a couple more products.
Those are my usuals in the morning
That’s a good list, Tanya! Not long at all 🙂
cleanser, moisturiser, blemish stick, concealer, eyeshadow, eye liner, mascara, lip balm, powder = 9.
Not too bad 😀
Nope, not at all! Quite a regular list!
I actually wash my face in the evening in the shower (so I consider it part of my shower routine along with body wash, shampoo, conditioner, etc)
So:
moisturizer, concealer, paint pot, eyeshadow (anywhere from 1-4 colour usually 3), eyeliner, mascara, blush, lipgloss/lipstick. So that’s 8… But I still do it all pretty quickly 😀 I also wear nearly all neutrals with a few smokey eyes and pinks 😀
Hey Kat! I know just how fast products can add up and yet how quickly they can be used, too!
i shall count my ‘natural’ make up haha.. make up base, concealer, blusher, mascara, lipbalm. 5! oh my.. imagine the heavy days.
Five! Short list 😀
I don’t usually wear makeup, but here is my tally:
-with makeup: cleanser, day cream, highlighter, mascara, lipbalm and handcream. At night, cleanser, toner, night cream. Total: 9
-without make up: 4
I just want to add, that that is my light, can’t-be-bothered, make up day, not the full-on face. LOL
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.
-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!
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, 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 🙂

…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…

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!
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!
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!
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!
