Tell me. how much makeup a girl should have in her makeup stash?
like this???
or this?
I studied my makeup stash last night, and realized that i have so much. i also realized that i have my most favorite items which i use most of the time, but sadly, there are also some that i rarely touch, and never been touched. , i thought that this is a good idea, why not make a list of the items i mostly use,and -- it only mean one thing, those are just what i need.
THE LIST
1.
Foundation - i have like 7 liquid foundations and 3 powder foundations but this two are my most used.
 |
Nars Sheer Glow in PUNJAB |
 |
MAC Studio fix in NC 35 |
2.
Eyeshadow base - a dual purpose, an eyeshadow or a base. if im in a hurry, i just usually put this all over my lids. I really like the paintpots from MAC, you can wear them on alone, or as a base. I also have painterly, rubenesque,indianwood,constructivist and fresco rose. This particular one is Bare Study, which i constantly use.

As you can see, this might seem too many, but i realized that what i really need is something i can use for just basic looks,like for daytime and nightime, for simple occasions or to formal events- these stuffs is just enough for me.
I still love my collection, but for now, i should use and enjoy them first before adding up.
HOW ABOUT YOU? Would you consider doing project pan? Glad i did.
till next post. have a fab day. xo, jeng
