    On every video about minimalist/natural/no make-up make-up (regardless of whether it's a review of Glossier or a lifestyle choice video) there's always someone sneering in the comments, 'Step One: Have perfect skin'. And look, I've suffered with acne since I was eleven and with eczema the last ten years, I know from shit skin and the desperation to cover it up. But please, don't be kidding yourself: you don't do full on carved out brows, a shadow cut-crease, two different shades of concealer to brighten and conceal and then contour with bronzer and blusher and highlighter on your whole face because you feel self-conscious about your acne or scarring. You do it because you like that beauty look and you CHOOSE to invest your time and money in that. So don't sneer at people who make a different choice. They have every right to do that - and make UA-cam vids about it - whether they have perfect skin or actually just average skin and the confidence to pull it off.

    I recently found Audrey's channel and these videos are such a gift in my current stage of life. I've been very ill for the past 6 years and have gone from being a married professional homeowner with plenty of income to a single woman, room-renting and unable to work. There is so much sheer joy in just being alive and in learning how to love the life I have now. By necessity, I am now a minimalist (apart from health management. My health routine looks like something more in the "diva-princess" zone 😄). So much of UA-cam beauty and fashion videos show the false god of consumerism, showing more more more more and new new new. Buy this and be on trend and you will be happy! I'm grateful for UA-camrs like Audrey who show another path to looking good in the skin you're in, with a more sensible amount of clothing and beauty products.

  • @irairod5160

    Hello Audrey! As I've become older (and wiser), I've learned to put more effort and money into skincare rather than makeup. I wear a lot more color and vary my looks more frequently than you do, so my makeup collection is still very large compared to the one you keep...but I've started to slowly work through it, avoiding "new" product releases, repurchasing only my most loved and most used, and giving some of the excess to my sisters and nieces, who are still in their "experimentation" phase. They love getting "new" products to play with, and I enjoy being able to properly "love" the items that really flatter and work for me.
    I'm intrigued by your idea of creating a seasonal makeup collection. I might try that because there are products/colors that I definitely use more during particular times of the year that perhaps don't need to be on top of my dressing table. I imagine getting them out of hibernation would give me the same joy that getting my clothing items out and ready for a new season capsule brings me. Thanks for the video--very insightful, as usual!

  • @RosemarieSKikel

    Audrey, your description of the joy of less makeup has nailed it! Last year, I noticed that I reached for certain makeup items over others, so when 2019 came in I decided to get rid of excess items that I hardly used. The result has been empowering - I adore my makeup and my routine, using the best-of-the-best of the items "tailored" for me. Thank you for articulating this!

    I used to love beauty products, too! But then I gave birth to two wonderful baby girls within two years. That totally changed my perspective! Initially i had no choice but to grab the most effective tools and products to achieve the maximum effect. But soon I realized how little I actually need, and how liberating it could be! And because of fewer products i keep, I have the luxury to buy only a few things that I absolutely love! No guilt. No decision fatigue. I used to be obsessed with eyeshadow palettes because of the fun of color and creativity. Now I channel that passion to watercolor painting. I make my own customized palettes and that’s deeply satisfying to me. Learning color mixing also helps me to expand the color range of my own make-ups collection. For example I experimented how to mix different shades of lipsticks to create the subtle hue I was looking for and that’s really more fun than keep buying more!

      @@shirleygibbs7440 no need to apologize! 🙂 It's great you have good skin! I'm in the middle of just forget about foundation cause nothing can hide it... Or go out full out to war to hide it. Primer, foundation, concealer, powder etc.. I think I will just use up what I got and not wear anything on my skin. I feel awake and fresh enough with undereye concealer and mascara👍

      @@augustynowicz1 Thank you for your generous spirit! But yes, I needed to apologize. I had only a hint of what you experience when about 5 yrs ago I had an allergic reaction to a brand of makeup which triggered adult acne all over my face. It took 3 yrs to clear up, using a medicated cleanser and moisturizer only. I am now very wary of any "new" (to me) makeup. I use moisturizer, CC lotion with color & primer, blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and lipstick. That's my "full" face. As I age I've found that foundation & powder make me look older. Say NO to that! 😖😏 So I wear "full" face only about twice a week. I do hope your cystic acne improves. I'm glad you've decided to make the best of things over which you have no control. People will like you for who you are ... your heart, your spirit, your courage! May God bless you and keep you! 💖💞💖 Shirley

    Just clicked on this and I agree with you , as I get older I find that you don’t need to plaster your face with make up! Less is indeed more ...this is what I am teaching my 11year old daughter as well ..these days her friends are already using concealer mascara lipstick etc etc which I find is totally unnecessary! You’re also very lucky that you don’t need any under eye concealer to cover any dark circles , alas this is one product I definitely need in my routine :(

      I don't have acne but I don't have clear skin either. I used to wear heavy makeup every day but I stopped because I'm too lazy for that and I noticed that people don't care at all whether you have a few zits or if your skin is perfect, maybe you'll get a few compliments but your overall impression will come from how you carry yourself and with makeup I feel slightly uncomfortable or not as free as I would be without it (I still love makeup and will put it on often when I go out but not wearing heavy makeup every day made me more excited about it and creative I guess when I do decide to put it on)

    “So I can spend less time getting ready and more time living” ... I wanna get that on a tattoo lol. I resonate so much with that sentence, coming from a place where I’d shop emotionally, excessively and irrationally for clothes, shoes and make up and feel like it’s never enough, to my “now self” having a capsule wardrobe, a minimalist mindset, a wishlist and time to think for the things that I might or might not actually need, a small make up collection that is absolutely enough for every day use or a stage performance and most of all, no decision fatigue deciding what to wear every day. Oh, and not to forget - more money in the bank, wink!. I wish I was taugh all of that when I was younger, however, happily embracing it now and sharing my vibe with everyone around me. Love watching your videos! ♥️

    Discovering a mouse at home last week pretty much converted me to minimalism! The act of getting everything off the floor, making visible space for the exterminator to inspect, etc. really showed me how much stuff I no longer need is taking up room. And even though my makeup and other things are pretty orderly, a second look found that stuff gets lost in the pile and either expires or disintegrates before it is used up, or I end up purchasing duplicate products. Thanks for this video!

    I am on the same page Audrey.
    I am trying to save money and practice minimalism in all areas of my life.
    A side effect of this is I feel more abundant than ever before.
    I realise that previously I rarely finished a product completely. I might have thought I had this intention but I would have at least 15 days applications left before opening the replacement.
    Please do more videos like this. I am aligned with the “less but better” message it speaks to. 😘

    I have also downsized my makeup collection. In the past, used to splurge on eyeshadow palettes. I don’t even wear eyeshadow anymore. My routine consists of primer, foundation, setting powder, mascara, nude lip gloss and a little highlighter. I also keep my eyebrows groomed. Very effective, yet simple compared to all of the layers of makeup the beauty community piles on.

    Never been a makeup person, I agree completely. In the past year I have been more concerned in taking care of my skin so I can avoid makeup as much as possible. But I am guilty of overindulging in skin care products. However, trying to fine tune my routine to less steps. For example, just ordered a tinted moisturizer with SPF 30. That is 3 products in 1! Sunscreen is a must for every one. Sun causes aging and skin cancer!

And I committed to not buying any new skincare, makeup, shampoo, lotion, etc until I used up all of my other products. I had 10 shampoos in my cupboard, who needs that many?! And when I went through my makeup I had to throw half of it away because it had gone bad.

I do like how you mentioned a make up capsule and buy for each season. That really resonated with me. I really want to stop buying and use what I already have and am realistic of what I use but I will definitely have to try the seasonal capsule and buy during those times.

    I completely concur with this video. I used to have (and wear) a lot more makeup than I do now, and it's been really freeing to let go of it. The one addition I have to your list is a shadow stick that doubles as an eyeliner; I like a little more definition around my eyes, and this gives me a number of options. I love the Laura Mercier caviar sticks, the shades are great and they last forever. The also don't take up much space and travel really well. :) I also have three lipsticks; one red, one pinkish nude, one peach/coral. I double these up as tinted lip balms and cream blushes. That way I have a lot of options without too many products, and I find those three shades get me through the year.
