I watched quite a few of Melissa Alexandria’s videos during the week, and started feeling motivated to streamline my possessions. I feel like this change has been coming for some time now and I’ve kind of been doing it in a gradual manner over the past year or so (in small ways), but I think I’m going to be embracing minimalism a lot more moving forward. I decided to start by building a capsule makeup collection for Autumn, as it’s around the time that I start digging out some of the more cold-weather friendly shades (gimme those deep plum lips!). Here is what I put together for my Autumn capsule makeup collection –
Foundation – Givenchy Photo Perfexion Foundation in Perfect Ivory
Highlighter – YSL Touche Eclat in #1
Blush – Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Ethereal Glow
Eyeshadow – Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow in Shell
Event Eyeshadow – NARS Eye Duo in Kalahari
Eyeliner – Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Pencil in Hustle
Eyebrow Pencil – Hourglass Brow Arch in Light Brunette
Mascara – Lancome Hypnose
Lip Product – Fresh Tinted Lip Conditioner in Rose
Standout Lip Product – Chanel Lipstick in Rivoli
Let me know if you choose to do something similar this season, because I’d love to know which products you decide fit into your capsule collection.
I’m now in the process of binge watching Melissa’s videos, what a great find! I started reading The Minimalists blog late last year and the wake-up-call I got regarding sentimental items was just amazing. I got rid of so much junk that I never looked at and felt so much better for it. It’s been a hard process slowly trying to adjust my habits but I’m getting there.
It is a hard process, especially getting rid of sentimental items. But it always feels so much better afterwards. Good luck with adjusting your habits!
I went on a bit of a makeup spending spree this last month so definitely not the best person to ask about a capsule makeup collection lol. Now my focus is using and enjoying what I have for a while.
I go through phases, so I’m interested to see if this capsule wardrobe idea will last more than 1 season for me!
