Twenty-Six Versatile Beauty Products to Prevent Your Drawers from Being Crammed Full
In the world of makeup, finding products that enhance natural beauty without overpowering it can be a challenge. BuzzFeed, known for its recommendations on simple and effective products, has curated a list of essentials for a minimalist makeup routine.
The Foundation of a Minimalist Look
A tinted moisturizer or light foundation is a staple for a natural look. Offering light coverage, these products even out skin tone without feeling heavy. Some popular choices include the NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer and Glossier Skin Tint.
Concealing Imperfections
For covering blemishes or under-eye circles without using heavy foundation, a concealer is a must-have. Products like the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer and NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer are often praised for their effectiveness.
Adding a Natural Blush
Cream blush adds a natural flush of color that blends seamlessly into the skin. Glossier Cloud Paint and Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek are examples of popular cream blushes.
Defining the Brows
Brow gel defines brows in a natural way to frame the face. Glossier Boy Brow and Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel are popular choices for this purpose.
Enhancing the Eyes
Mascara enhances the eyes without needing eyeshadow or liner. L’Oréal Voluminous Lash Paradise and Maybelline Lash Sensational are examples of mascaras that deliver great results.
Lip Balm or Lip Gloss
Tinted lip balm or lip gloss provides a hint of color and hydration without the heaviness of lipstick. Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm and Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb are popular choices.
Other Essentials
A clear gel tube is available for keeping eyebrows and eyelashes in check on makeup-free days. NYX high shine offers long-lasting color that doesn't transfer onto masks, with both matte and gloss sides available for different looks. A nail cream is suggested to prevent chipping and can also be used on calluses.
A 2-in-1 cheek and lip tint packs a punch with pigment and blends well over foundation. A pigment-free foundation helps smooth out texture and block out oil without feeling heavy. A mini Milk lip and cheek stain offers a glowy pop of color, containing hydrating ingredients like mango butter, avocado oil, and apricot oil.
L'Oréal highlighting drops can be used as a highlighter or added to lotion or foundation for a glowing effect. Vaseline is a budget-friendly product that can help soothe sensitive skin. The NYX Concealer Color Correcting Palette addresses various skincare concerns and can be blended with foundation or concealer when needed.
Supergoop sunscreen protects skin from UV rays without feeling heavy or causing greasiness, and can also function as a primer. The Charlotte Tilbury face palette covers every inch of the face and comes in a compact with a mirror. Dry shampoo keeps hair from getting greasy and provides volume, offering a break between full wash days.
Verb hair oil makes hair feel soft and silky, and is thicker than regular oil, helping to smooth down flyaways and frizz. The elf brow pencil is a multi-purpose tool that includes a brow pencil, spoolie, and powder in one design, making it convenient for touch-ups on the go.
The Revlon one-step hot air brush dries and styles hair, detangling tresses and providing a salon-worthy blowout. The Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pomade is highly pigmented and can fill out sparse brow areas, acting as a primer for powder. The elf mineral primer smooths pores, hydrates skin, and controls oil, potentially eliminating the need for foundation and powder.
Maybelline concealer comes with a built-in sponge applicator and contains haloxyl, an ingredient found in eye creams. The Wander Beauty cream lip and cheek tint provides a healthy glow, with a pigmented balm for color and a clear balm for blending or a natural glassy effect.
The IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream is full coverage, contains skincare ingredients like collagen, peptides, and hyaluronic acid, and provides SPF 50+ protection. The Makeup Forever palette allows for creative freedom in makeup application.
A 2-in-1 styling cream and dry shampoo helps beat grease and keep hair in place, and can be rubbed into roots for volume. Burt's Bees lip scrub exfoliates and hydrates the lips, leaving them plump and flushed without the need for additional balms or glosses.
Jojoba oil is recommended for nourishing nails, hair, and skin, and can be added to foundation for a dewy finish. Dr. Pawpaw balm helps bring life back into lips, cuticles, and hair, and may help heal cuts and wounds faster.
These products together create a fresh, no-makeup makeup look that’s quick and easy for everyday wear.
