I’ve always had this love-hate relationship with makeup. I love to wear makeup while going out or for special occasions but I also love being bare-faced for the rest of the time.
Being a homemaker, I don’t need plenty of makeup. I’ll be honest, I feel more classy and confident with simpler makeup. With that said, it is undeniable fact that even the simple makeup really perks up my mood. It is an instant mood-booster. To learn about the concept of capsule makeup collection and how I created it read this article.
My personalized makeup style is even skin, kohled eyes, well-groomed eyebrows, and Lipsticks. I’m not a big fan of foundations, eyeshadows, blushes and other makeup products. The fact is, I never feel the need to apply so many things.
Today I’m laying my favorite products that I use every day as well as for special occasions. I’ve split the makeup into two sections:
EVERYDAY MAKEUP:
Colorbar Perfect Match Compact Powder (001 Classic Ivory):
This is my HG product. It’s enriched with hyaluronic acid and Vitamin E. It has a very creamy texture that blends into the skin giving a velvety finish. I love to use this compact with Colorbar BB Cream as a base instead of a foundation (for special occasions).

Lakme Eyebrow Pencil:
It’s a really nice and useful everyday product. Well-groomed eyebrows give your face a polished look. I apply the pencil and brush it with a brow brush to avoid harsh lines.
Stay Quirky Kajal Black BadAss:
This is The Best kohl I have used so far. I like to tight-line my eyes for an everyday look. I use this kohl for both upper and lower waterline. This one is Creamy & applies smoothly on the upper lash line as well.
Lipstick:
Nivea Lip Balm + Faces Canada Ultime Pro Matte Lip Crayon (Midnight Rose)
I first apply the lip balm and then top it up with the Faces Canada lip crayon (Midnight Rose) for a soft stained look.
MAKEUP FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS:
FOR FACE:
Ponds White Beauty BB+ Fairness Cream
This is my favorite product. This BB cream has a yellow undertone that suits my skin perfectly. The product sinks into the skin so well giving a natural look.
Maybelline New York Fit Me Concealer (20 Sand):
It’s a medium coverage concealer that blends easily. The shade 20 sand works as a highlighting concealer for my medium skin tone.
Colorbar Perfect Match Compact Powder (001 Classic Ivory):
As mentioned earlier in this post.
FOR EYES:
Maybelline New York The Nudes Eyeshadow Palette:
This is an impulse purchase from the time I was an insane shopaholic. As I told earlier, I don’t like to wear eye-shadows, this was of no use to me. But I rethought of using the dark brown shade from the palette for the eyebrows. I use it with an angled brush and it just works well.

Stay Quirky Liquid Eyeliner Matte Black BadAss:
The kohled eyes are a makeup necessity for me and this is my beloved product. It is good for beginners like me, learning to apply eyeliner, for more controlled application. This has a wonderful applicator brush that can help you to draw a thin line. Along with this, I use Stay quirky badass black kajal on the lower lashline.
Maybelline HyperCurl volume express Mascara (Very Black):
It’s a great budget-buy mascara. It is longlasting, waterproof, and lightweight formula. And, more importantly, it gets removed quickly even with cleansing lotion.
These three products complete my eye-makeup. I love the look of my eyes only with these three products.

For Lips:
Lipstick is a must-have product for me. With a minimalist approach, I own only 5 and those are:-
1. Nyx Lip Lingerie – Exotic (Peachy Nude):
The Best peachy nude lip shade I’ve ever used. This is my most cherished lip color.
2. Nykaa Matteillicious Lip Crayon (Lacy Luck 10):
It’s such a beautiful everyday lip color. It’s the perfect neutral nude color for my skin. I love how creamy and comfortable these lip crayons are.
3. Maybelline New York Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipstick (Siren in Scarlet):
The only red lipstick shade in my makeup kit. And the only one I absolutely need. It’s a lovely cool-toned red color that perks up my complexion.
4. Sugar It’s Pout Time! Vivid Lipstick – Breaking Bare (Mauve Pink Nude):
It’s a very pretty mauve pink color, looks great with black, white and teal/turquoise colored outfits.
5. Maybelline Superstay 14 HR Lipstick – 160 Infinitely Fuchsia:
A beautiful fuchsia pink color which makes you look fresh instantly. It can be worn in the daytime as well as for the evening look.
Since we wear a variety of colors in India, even with a minimalist approach, I require these 5 shades of lipsticks in my makeup kit. All of them are my favorite shades. They go pretty good with all my outfits.
As you see, I am more of a Neutral/Nude/Muted lip color person. But I also prefer lipsticks which has some brightening effect. As a minimalist, I’m very selective and make purchases after thorough research.
Final Words:
These are the only products that I own and truly love to use. My capsule makeup kit is tailor-made to my needs, style, and preferences. Everything fits comfortably into one pouch.
Being a minimalist at heart, I avoid buying needless products. This saves me a lot of money, time and space.
I hope this article will help you create your own capsule makeup kit. Thank you for reading and please share with me – what’s in your Capsule makeup collection?
