DECLUTTERING A BUNCH OF BLUSHES (AND HIGHLIGHTERS AND I GUESS BRONZERS BUT IT'S ALL BLUSH TO ME OK)

[@angelaa.9915]

I love how pragmatic your declutters are. Like, when Hannah says she’s decluttering… friends, she’s not kidding.

[@1SarahEliza]

I need Hannah energy…. My entire closet on my bed. 😬

[@EmmaAblett]

She barely decluttered anything

[@brandynewday]

An overhead video? AND a declutter? With flawless lighting?! Be still my heart, this is the absolute most.

[@LEbackstage]

I really like the way you put the pros and cons in perspective about keeping a product or not. And that you also consider the emotional aspect. Your reasoning is really helpful. I started decluttering a while ago and have tried some things you did. Having less stuff is surprisingly inspiring - to use old favourites and just play around. Thank you 😊 💓

[@teresawilliams1201]

I love the phrasing of “comfortable abundance” ♥️

[@agatheboudreault676]

I love when you say "create a cheek"! I feel like it says a lot about how you see makeup! Hugs from Montreal ✨

[@beckyhegland7902]

Me watching the video: "I would love to get my collection down to about 5 blushes and 5 highlighters. I should work on that." Me seeing the swatch of the JD Glow highlight at the very end: "I need to immediately go buy that." Thank you, as always, for your thoughtfulness! You truly act as a foil for the 'consideration' we usually see in the beauty space.

[@melissa.deklerk]

"When I am creating a cheek" is the most beautiful way to express it. I should look at my application the same way. And approach the choice of products with a similar reverence. Bronzer and contour I dont do (I don't own bronzer or contour products at all). I'm unsure how to make them look good. So I have 3 blushes and ordered a highlighter that's on its way to me this week. And I have been making my cheek looks by making various combinations of my 3 blush shades. And that's been good for now. Anyway, long way of saying thank you for your beautiful content always. I have been binging your videos today and yesterday while I tidy the house and do laundry. Warmest wishes from Germany

[@jennag7650]

I like to use blush, bronzers, and highlighters as eye shadows because there is less pigmentation and they blend easier sometimes. Maybe that's a way to play with the Dior palette more :)

[@stephbryan]

Hi Hannah!! I really appreciate how you weigh the pros and cons of keeping each item in your collection. It prompts me to be more thoughtful about the items in my own life and in my home - not just makeup but other items and spaces as well! Last weekend I went through and cleaned up my hallway closet using the same kind of approach and reasoning that you take in your videos and it's like a weight was lifted from me. You're the absolute best and my favourite person on the internet. Love you so much!!

[@alysonchung9260]

I absolutely adore your videos! I'm currently on a "binge watch Hannah" week. 😍🥰 Would you make a video on your favorite sparkly, delicious eyeshadow toppers?? I have been doing the type of shadow looks you do, where you put the shade from Natasha Denona's Gold Palette all over, and I LOVE it. Makes me feel like a sparkly unicorn in the most classy and elegant way possible.

[@HannahLouisePoston]

this is a good idea!!! thanks!

[@stephbryan]

@@HannahLouisePoston Omg I'm so excited!! I love Aly's idea and I am pumped that you're going to make this video!!

[@HollyNikole]

This reminds me of a coworker of mine. One day she was sitting across from me, we’re chit chatting as I was admiring her eyelashes. Well she turns her head to the side and the light caught her eyelids and they had the most beautiful feminine sparkle but head on it looked like she had no eyeshadow on. I couldn’t stop looking every time she turned her head. I regret not asking her what she had on her eyes. It was definitely a clear based shadow like an eye topper or something.

[@lilg3514]

I just appreciate the intellectualism and critical thinking. I just put away all of my eyeshadow palettes and other products for what I think will be my Dec 2-product challenge. 😎

[@MichelleTheGinger]

I love my winky luxe rose blush! I use it every other time I do make up, but it's kept its flower form pretty well, even tho I use a dense kabuki brush to apply

[@psingh135]

[@kalliej4807]

This is the first video of yours I've seen. And right off the bat I noticed some things I really love. 1. You have a very nice voice to listen to. 2. I thoroughly enjoy seeing the obvious use of the products in your collection. 3. Your thought process behind keeping and getting rid of things is very sound in my opinion. Thanks for great content. I'll definitely be watching more of your stuff.

[@MrLadyMaroles]

I tried doing a yellow blush the other day, but it was sooooo difficult to pull off because of my own yellow-ish colouring 🙃 I’m excited to see what blushes you keep because I just recently started actively wearing blush and it really does a lot for the face and now I wonder how I ever went without.

[@Bookishcarmela]

I love using yellow blush as a blush topper over whatever blush I'm using but especially orangey blushes, maybe give that a try?

[@Haydee90]

I love the yellow blush look, and i'm a warmtone yelloish girl but i think the key is tone for yellow blush, mustard, ocre more Orange blush works amazing for me

[@charmedbymeghan]

What did you use for a yellow blush? I have a NYX one that has a lil bit of a shimmery finish. But Rituel De Fille makes one that I want too. Their formulas are really good.

[@paulinab0412]

[@hrdillon1980]

I got an elf lip & cheek palette from Amazon. Love that thing! I also love watching your declutter videos - makes me want to be more thoughtful & discerning about my collection! 💜

[@jolynn9080]

Hi Hannah, personally I find the MAC Glow Play blush is like a cream to powder formula and it plays really well with brushes for an even application. Your Rephyr brush should work pretty well with it :)

[@StateofKait]

The Mac Glow Play blushes are my all-time favorite blush formula, but I think most people don't use them in a way that highlights their beauty and ease of use. Everyone says they're a cream but to me they're a cream-powder hybrid. That's relevant because everyone uses their fingers to apply the product, and I personally find that they are the fastest, most airbrushed blush when applied with a brush. That might take away the joy of the application for you since you like using your fingers, but with a brush - they're magic. And the shade Blush Please is a gorgeous dusty pinky beige that may be more your type.

[@HannahLouisePoston]

thanks for the info! I actually much prefer a brush for any blush, so that's good :) I will definitely give it a chance!

[@StateofKait]

@@HannahLouisePoston oh good! That doesn’t fix the color situation, but I do love how it applies with a brush.

I really couldnt make the elf bali blush work as a blush either but since i spent money on it im using it as a lip product and it actually looks really nice

[@kimfeddema6302]

Everytime I watch these I think "yes, I should declutter all my make-up" but then I remember I barely own any make-up hahahaha

[@Figgatella]

You can also use items for more than one use. You can use blush for lips, eyeshadow. I use some of my MG eyeshadows for blush and bronzer and highlighter. Just because a product is made for one thing does not mean you can’t use it for other things. You can get much more mileage out of products I have found. Thank you Hannah! Have a great evening!

[@HannahLouisePoston]

I agree! Thanks, Tamara!

[@michelesalter9564]

Thursday evening, glass of wine and an overhead declutter with Hannah! Seeing your products feels like being with old friends. I was busting up over the Herbal Essence scent comment. It is interesting that a scent can be problematic, for me it is Elizabeth Arden Red Door fragrance. Always love your methodical approach.Hugs from Salem Oregon!

The Kjaer Weis pan will likely not be recycled due to its small size. If you had a bunch of pans of the same material you could kind of mash them all together in a ball to ensure they are big enough to be captured in a recycling plant. But yeah, stuff we think in good faith would be recycled, often is not 😪 could you make use of if for frankenmakeup, repanning something into? I would repress something in there and use that fancy KW compact 💃

[@michellerocksall]

I'm a little surprised that you didn't like the ELF putty blush! I recently got the putty blush in the shade "Turks and Caicos" (more coral) and the bronzer in "Honey Drip" and I've used them every day since. I do see what you mean about the clinginess, although I don't get that impression with the one I have. I wonder if it's just more pronounced with a darker shade? Either way, I appreciate your honest and direct approach to reviewing makeup and got some good insight from this video on other items I'd considered purchasing. You come off as trustworthy and thoughtful and I like the way you are still respectful about the makeup you are decluttering. Thank you!

[@Stephanie_2272]

As always, I adore your videos. I look forward to your content each week. You bring up an interesting point about gifts from friends and family. Sometimes it is difficult to separate the wonderful gesture from the physical product and I end up keeping items that I don't want for various reasons.

[@carlyo7538]

I bought the Winky Lux rose-shaped blush based on your review and I use it almost exclusively because of that velvety wash that you mentioned. But I am destroying it little by little and I totally get why some folks get tripped up by the novelty of it. I just had to accept that eventually it'd just be a dome of blush rather than a rose of blush. My style also changed and I wear a lot more vintage-inspired and historical clothing and the colors of the Winky Lux blushes are PERFECT for more historical make-up.

[@Jessica-pt9tx]

Have you ever use the Kevyn Aucoin Neo Highlighter in Sahara as an eyeshadow? I'm curious what it would look like as a natural eye look.

A friend of mine sent me the winky lux rose blush kind of as a joke/novelty to just sit on my shelf and look pretty…but I honestly love the color and formula!! It’s a total wild card but it’s a great blush!

[@naeriface]

as a fellow pale (neutral) gal, my favorite way to use that dior 4 pan highlighter is by mixing a bunch of the shades together (not the browner one, as it is always too dark as a highlight- but! makes a very pretty shiny blush). i just kind of swirl my brush throughout and it avoids creating a highlight that has any sort of strong undertone one way or another

I have a couple Honest Beuaty cream blushes and there is something about the formula that keeps me from using it often. I actually prefer the Milani ones and the Milani stick cream blush is a divine formula IMO. It gives the cheeks a natural shine from the texture but doesn't feel sticky. I have been so into finding good drug store makeup recently since I had been buying primarily only Indie & Highend for a while. And Drugstore is blowing my mind in a lot of ways.

[@supernouveaux]

I honestly think you would like the Universal Dior face quad more, I own that one, Glitz, and Rose Gold and I have been using the crap out of Universal. It's much cooler, the only shade that is gold is the champagne-y highlight in the top right and the other highlight is icy white, the blush has a very icy pink sheen and the bronzer is more cool than it is warm. I use the bronzer as a blush with the pink on top and it's s t u n n i n g. sometimes I just rub my brush over both the bronzer and blush and apply or the bronzer and gold highlight and apply, or even the gold and white highlight to make it a more icy neutral champagne highlight and apply. I'm obsessed and the Universal one doesn't have any of the really glittery formula like Glitz and Rose Gold has, they're incredibly smooth and apply beautifully on the skin.

[@petra1995]

I recently got into makeup and I own two blushes. One more is on its way to me and I'm planning to buy a fourth one. I hope I'll manage to curate my collection as much as I'm hoping to. But maybe it's just one of those things one happens to just accumulate over time.

As another aside: I’m considering doing: “One month: two products in each category only”. The reason I’m considering this is that I was watching Amanda Z’s channel and was inspired by a Chanel cream shadow. I’m so glad I didn’t spend my money on much at Sephora for makeup during the sale (I didn’t spend that much altogether)-it was $34 or $36 and I am so excited for it to arrive. Yes-for one eyeshadow-it’s the most I’ve ever spent on one shadow, but it’s my jam 100%. Was also thinking about my two high end lipsticks at age 20-so that’s what got me thinking that this might be a good idea…to see if I can refine my makeup techniques in one month). I repurchased my “ride or dies” as didn’t wear ANY makeup for one year. So, I think imma give it a go.

I would return the products you are not happy with as long as you are within your time to return. Then buy items you do enjoy. That is the perk you get buy buying from Ulta or Sephora instead of drugstore. But it’s only a perk if you use it from time to time.

[@marilynbeth5993]

I received most of my blush and bronzer from subscription boxes. I cancelled them so I'll have the opportunity to use them up. I purchase most of my highlighters since I tend to use them faster than blush or bronzer. I'm very pale so I don't need much blush or bronzer to make a difference. However, I just love the glow of a highlighter so I put a lot on. Still, more than three or four highlighter is a lot. I currently have three blushes palettes and two individual bronzers. I have highlighter in one of the blush palettes plus two highlighter palettes and a single highlighter. I have a full face palette that I'm otherwise breezing through that has a blush that I haven't even touched yet. I think that having more than three blushes is overwhelming myself.
