What Makeup Products Do You Use the Most, and What Products Do You Use the Least?

April 28th, 2017 by Karen 18 Comments

Alright. OK. The most? The products I use the most to de-zombie-fy myself on the daily (but not necessarily everyday together) are under-eye concealer, my lash curler, mascara, brow filler (which is usually a powder or a pencil and a clear brow gel), foundation or tinted moisturizer, face powder, blush, bronzer, highlighter, gloss, lipstick and a black pencil liner for tightlining.

Now, for the things I use the least? Hmm… That would be anything having to do with contouring. Also, anything overly matte, like a super matte foundation or setting powder. I don’t use those very often.

I don’t use long-wearing matte liquid lipsticks either (well, hardly ever), because they’re usually a pain to apply, and I don’t like how they start to look cracked as the day wears on.

So, yeah. That’s me. How about you? What makeup products do you use the most, and what products do you use the least?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. Oh, you know it, girl! It’s that time again. 🙂 TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I use tinted moisturizer w/ SPF, concealer, bronzer, blush, lipstick and mascara all the time. I use, foundation, eye shadow, eyeliner and brow powder some time. I never use lipgloss, highlighter, face powder, primer for face or eyes (although may try sometime). I am also searching for the right lash curler for my needs.

    Be well and have a good weekend! We’re taking Zack to an audition tomorrow morning for the NJ Allstate Chorus. Wish him luck!!!

    Most: Eyebrow pencil/powder/pomade because I barely have brows! Concealer for undereyes, foundation, lip balm every single day.
    Least: lipliner, eyeshadow primer (I know, shame, but it’s only out of pure laziness), and I rarely contour

    The products I use the most are the usual for a full face makeup. The products I use the very least I also never buy: liquid highlight and crayon style lipsticks.

    Most used: Foundation (Clé de Peau for radiance) and eyeshadows are musts as is a good lip balm. Everything else is an extra. I love makeup and enjoy wearing a “full face” most days but I am lucky to have black brows and eyelashes and rosey lips and cheeks and so most products fall under the classification of refinements rather than necessities.

    Least or never used: Bronzers, contours, concealers, correctors, tinted moisturizers, brow gels and powders.

    TGIF! I love the rainbow “lite” shadow look! You know I was a big fan of the original. 🙂

    Everyday, because I’m boring, I use the Porefessional in the T-zone, Tarte BB cream, Chanel Malice blush, mascara (currently YSL Faux Cils but Dinoplatz is on its way), Anastasia brow pencil, NARS pro prime and brown liner (currently using EL powder shadow as liner, usually UD Whiskey).

    Least used is powder (setting/bronzer, etc), lipstick/gloss, anything with color. HAHA!

    Products I use the most: concealer, powder, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick.

    Products I use the least: false eyelashes, highlighters, lipliner.

    I don’t contour daily, but I do contour. I just don’t do the whole baking thing you see on Youtube.

    Karen, I was looking around Twitter tonight and I came upon a photo of you in a feed that didn’t look like yours. In fact, there were lots of photos of you and your posts, but when I clicked on the links to go to your posts, I was taken to a warning page saying “this link may be unsafe”. I wish I could find the account, it was something like @Makeup_Must. This post was just one of them. Do you know about this? The link was [REMOVED]. I hope you’ve reported it. I was upset to see that your account has been hijacked.

    I use skincare the most, followed by mascara, lipstick and concealer. Least: contour, highlighter, and brow stuff

      Thanks for letting me know, Allison. Unfortunately this happens a lot. I can’t keep up with the people who steal content and republish it.

    Use the most:
    – Foundation / Tinted moisturizer / BB Cream
    – something for the eyebrows
    – eyeshadow (if I’m lazy I’m using something like the Armani eyetint. Swipe and blend, done). If I’m wearing glasses sometimes I skipped mascaras ?.
    – blush
    – killer lipstick

    Use the least
    – face Primer & setting spray
    – foundation brush
    – contouring stuff
    – surprisingly, concealers (or at least I haven’t found a perfect one yet)

    Use the most:

    Foundation, concealer, setting powder, blush , highlighter, cream eyeshadows in earth colors, mascara, lipgloss, lipstick, and always a lip balm ?

    Use the least:

    Contouring anything, eyeliners, false lashes (don’t get me wrong I ❤️ Falsies I don’t know how to apply?) super matte lipsticks, and lip liners ?

    Most: I have oily skin, so face & eye primer always, and setting powder. Foundation, blush, powder highlighter, powder eyeshadow (I’m an eyeshadow junkie), eyeliner, mascara, traditional tube lipstick, lip balm. I usually do some minimal contouring (underneath my cheekbones, a little around my chin, and my nose).

    Least: Bronzer, and then only matte, and only sparingly. I’ll wear it maybe half a dozen times a year, tops. I rarely wear super-matte liquid lipstick. I never wear dewy foundations, liquid highlighters, or cream eyeshadows (oily skin issue again).

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
