I say “alleged minimal makeup” here because, let’s get real, this is a lot more like maximum makeup, but being an obsessive makeup lover I actually wear a lot more makeup than this on a regular basis with primers and color correctors and blending for days and layering and liner and generally everything and the kitchen sink (I’m sooo not shy when it pertains to wearing zeh face paint), so even though this probably isn’t “streamlined” (air quotes) for lots of makeup lovers, it’s streamlined for me.
Um…I think this might be a little confusing? because now I’m absolutely confused, HAHA! What I’m trying to say, I guess, is that this is by no indicates minimal makeup when you look at the sheer number of products, but it’s minimal makeup for me at the moment, which for me is also maximum makeup at the moment, because I seriously…I cannot manage anything a lot more than this.

THIS baby IS MAKING ME CRAY-CRAY!!!!
I’ve been wearing the products here in some fashion or other pretty much daily for the past two weeks (like, if I’m in a hurry, I’ll skip the highlighter and bronzer) and, depending on how much time I have and what I’m in the mood for, my makeup has been taking me anywhere from 5-15 minutes to do.
For the most part, the other elements of my looks haven’t varied much, with the exception of lip color, which has varied a lot, and when I can’t decide on a lip color, I’ll just throw on a pinkish nude ’cause it’s easy, ya know?
