For my recent trip to Paris I thought I’d do something different when it comes to my travel makeup. Inspired by what I’ve read about French beauty, I packed only 5 products for our trip. The French approach makeup with a less is more outlook, and I have to say it was quite refreshing to spend a minimal amount of time packing and applying makeup. My skin is thanking me for it, and I’ve continued this routine at home too. Maybe less really is more?

BARE MINERALS bareSkin Complete Coverage Serum Concealer After my normal cleansing and moisturizing routine, I apply this concealer in the color light to my eye area and the center of my face. I blend outward with my Beauty Blender Pro Makeup Sponge. |
| MAC Eye Brows Brow Definer This is the only eyebrow pencil I’ve found in a blonde-enough shade that does not look red or orange on my skin. The color is called lingering. I lightly trace over and shape my eyebrows with it. |

MAC Powder Blush I’ve never been a huge fan of rosy cheeks, so I stick to this matte blush in the color blunt. I apply it very lightly with my #16 Dior Blush Brush to help give more shape to my face around my cheekbones, nose, forehead, and jawline. |
| MINERAL FUSION Lengthening Mascara After curling with my Japonesque power curl eyelash curler, I apply this mascara in the color graphite liberally to my top lashes, sweeping outward and upward and rotating the brush with each stroke. I add a little to my bottom lashes for balance. |

HERBIVORE Lip Conditioner I’ve been using this all natural coco rose lip conditioner for years now, and it’s still at the top of my list. It goes everywhere with me and I apply it often. |
