Minimal Makeup Routine | French Girl Inspired

In today's video, I'm sharing my extreme minimalist makeup collection. It's extreme in comparison to my old makeup collection, which rolled DEEP. I have narrowed down my collection, if you can you call six products a collection, to my absolute favs, my day to day essentials.
I will walk you through each product in order of application and show you my two go-to super quick, simple, MAMA-PROOF, make-up looks. Each look takes 2-5 mins (depending on how much time you care to blend HA) and only use 3-4 products.
My makeup outlook is very much inspired by the French makeup artist, Violette Serrat. Violette encourages women to embrace their imperfections and highlight what makes their face special and unique. I am a makeup amateur and typically am happier with my makeup the less time I spend on it. I'm all about that feminine lived-in look that's not too overdone. That je ne sais quois ;)
Thanks for watching!

Minimalism isn’t getting rid of everything you own and only have basic things. It’s narrowing down your belonging to things that you actually use, things that bring you joy or things that mean a lot to you. I hope this clears out the confusion some people have in the comments saying “but I like a pop of colour” you can own colourful makeup and still be a minimalist

Plumping lip tint Eye balm Color correcting moisturizer Mascara and eyeliner Liquid blush Elf suntouchable whoa glow sunscreen or a separate sunscreen and then bronzing drops Thats how i went foundation and concealer free

[@mhhassell]

Love the video. To answer your question I use 6 products: 1. Concealer 2. Blush Stick 3. Mascara 4. Brow Pencil 5. Brow Gel 6. Lipstick And 2 tools: 1. Makeup Brush 2. Eyelash Curler

[@savannahsdwyer]

Thanks so much for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Love your product lineup 💞✨

[@elizabethpeterson455]

Foundation is what I go for right away...the rest is second tier...😊

[@pinkpandamiranda]

I only use a concealer, eyeshadow for my eyes and my brows, mascara, and a lip color. Easy peasy!

[@savannahsdwyer]

Love it!

[@frala2398]

I really loved your video and your calm approach and style speaks to me. The lipstick I use the most is the same as you, Lip Stories ‘Oui’, but I never thought of using it on my eyes and cheeks. It works great! It looks so nice to have a tidy small tray of makeup on the shelf, it makes the decision process easier in the morning.

[@savannahsdwyer]

I am so glad my video resonates with you. I really appreciate the supportive comment. 💞 I think I had to do my makeup when I was out and about one day and only had the lipstick… my skin never reacted poorly to it, so i’ve been doing it ever since! Thanks for watching! 💫

[@Youngat40]

I'm trying to go minimalist with my makeup but it's hard because I still like colors from time to time. I will try to use up what I have. I am selling and letting go of some of it to my friends. I personally find I reach for the same type of colors from day to day. Sometimes I just like a pop of color. Sometimes I just wear something to even out my skin tone.

[@savannahsdwyer]

It’s certainly been a slow evolution for me! I hear you on a pop of color. Sometimes you just want to mix it up. Happy decluttering and thank you so much for watching!! ✨

[@sams7387]

Loved both your looks. I tend to use concealer under eye, brow pencil and a lip oil or creamy lip color 99% of the time. I have a bit more but think I have to go through and declutter some.

[@savannahsdwyer]

Love it. I just got a lip oil & have been loving it. Thanks for watching, Sam! ✨💞

[@marijajolovic8619]

Love this video! Im currently into minimalist makeup, and i have 1 of each makeup product except eyeshadows, so im waiting to use up ones i have and leave myself with just very few products i want to have!☺

[@savannahsdwyer]

Thanks so much for watching! Your collection sounds perfect. 😇

[@CrownedLadyoftheSea]

I loved the video and small makeup collections in general. 💕 My makeup collection is really small and I also have products for 2 "looks" (everyday & dressed up/nicer events/etc.): 1. Concealer: Araza Beauty -- Coconut Corrective Cream Concealer (color = peach, color corrector) 2. Foundation (used for fancier events): Araza Beauty -- All In One Coconut Cream Foundation (color = 200/winter, 220/summer) 3. Liquid eyeliner: NakedPoppy -- Clean Liquid Eyeliner-Black 4. Mascara: TOK Beauty -- Eyes that Tok-Lash Enhancing Mascara (it's my favorite applicator tip I've tried and is easy to put on & build up) 5. Eyeshadow pallete: 100% Pure -- Fruit Pigmented Rose Gold Pallete (I love wearing shimmery pink eyeshadow) 6. Lipstick: Vapour -- Lip Nectar-Hint (I also have a Burt's Bees tinted lip balm I swap in sometimes) 7. Setting powder (used very rarely when needed) Tools: 3 makeup brushes (foundation, eyeshadow, & setting powder) Q-tips (for smoothing the edges of the eyeliner) I like to use the "highlighter" in the eyeshadow pallete for my everyday eyeshadow and the blush as eyeshadow for nicer events when I don't feel like using the shimmery pinks. My favorite feature of my face is my green eyes so my very minimal makeup is mostly to make them stand out. I might have to try a lash curler and layered mascara in the near future; I love a thin line of eyeliner but it does take extra time to clean up the edges.

[@willowmoon5063]

I dig it! Great simple routine. You're stunning. Thank you for mascara tip. Cheers!

[@savannahsdwyer]

Awww thank you so much for watching and being here. Have an amazing day! 🤍✨

[@ravilogs]

Enjoyed watching it, amazing 😍❤️❤️

[@savannahsdwyer]

Thanks for watching, Raveena! 🥰

[@ossuika__727]

For every day, I use sunscreen, eyebrow pencil, lipstick, and powder. I feel satisfied already with an eyebrow definition and colored lips ☺️

[@andreiadetavora8471]

Such a beautiful makeup routine!!

[@savannahsdwyer]

Hi Andreia! Thank you for watching 💞 And thanks for sharing your routine. Keeping it simple is so nice. Have a great weekend! ✨✨

[@amma7244]

What great tips going to get the eye palette and Sephora lip/cheek as well as mascara I’m tired of having to buy waterproof bc of smudges. About to retire so checking out your video with your mom next. ❤️🇨🇦

[@savannahsdwyer]

Thanks so much for watching, Amma❣️

[@rosehunter7788]

I use elate mascara and I love your tip! Awesome 😎

[@savannahsdwyer]

I just looked up Elate! I had never heard of the brand. The packing is gorgeous on the mascara. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching!

[@nilukaur5795]

For an everyday look I use… 1. Skin tint 2. Concealer for under eyes 3. Setting powder for T zone 4. Brow powder 5. Brow gel 6. Stick shadow…single colour 7. Eyeliner for upper eyelid 8. Blush (which serves as a bronze too) 9. Lipliner & lipstick topped with lipgloss No tools except for power puff for setting powder

[@savannahsdwyer]

Love it! Thanks for watching! ✨

[@moonsidecafe]

Thanks! This inspired me to go through my makeup and ask myself if I use it and also if it's too old! Why do we hang onto outdated makeup?

[@savannahsdwyer]

I feel you! I held onto an Urban Decay eyeshadow palette from high school for YEARS. I think I kept it because it was expensive, and also because I felt like everyone "needs" a big eyeshadow palette in their collection. There are so many reasons we hold onto products -- it's interesting to dig a little deeper and ask why. Enjoy your makeup declutter! And thanks so much for watching! :)

[@mediterraneangirl947]

Love you video, your collection, and the end result :) I don't think at all this is extreme, on the contraty I think the collection this size is reasonable. I really had a problem with buying too much makeup. It was like an addiction. But, I somehow I menaged to overcome that. I didn't declutter anything, but I moved to different country and I only brought the following products, and I am really happy with how I look using them: 1. Kanebo Sensai bronzing gel - it gives very natural glow to the face, fresh and healthy looking, repurchased 2. Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation, 2 shades - it also looks undetevtable, and evens out my complexion nicely, sometimes I like using it, repurchased 3. Loreal Khol Eyeliner Pencil - easy to apply and easy to smudge, repurchased 4. Loreal Eyeliner Felt tip, repurchased 5. Golden Rose Lipliner - It looks natural and makes my lips look so much fuller, repurchased 6. Chanel Allure Velvet in L'Adoree - it was a LE collection from 2014, it is in a perfectly good condition 7. Loreal Lash Paradise mascara, repurchased No tools, I use my fingers. I have a lot more in my homecountry, and will be using up one by one product. Or throw them away if they go bad. Sorry for such a long comment.

[@savannahsdwyer]

I LOVE a long comment! Thank you for watching - i’m so glad you enjoyed it & could relate. I feel like move or a vacation is the perfect scenario to realize that life can be easier with less, esp. w/ beauty products. Love L’oréal Lash Paradise! L’oréal Voluminous was my go to for like 10 years. Same with the L’oréal felt tip liner. Had been skipping liner, but am thinking about bringing my cat eye back. Will check out your other products listed, too. Thanks for sharing!! ✨💞

Please tell me where is this cute creamy jumper from? It looks so good on you:)very elegant, and romantic style which i really like. I also like your make up collection, definately want to minimize mine as well:)

[@savannahsdwyer]

Hi Anna! Thanks for your kind comment. I fell in love when I saw the sweater, too. I bought it at a local boutique here in California. The brand is Miou Mouse. I just looked up the brand & it's one of those wholesaler brands that sell directly to small shops. I sadly can't find it anywhere else online -- sorry! I hope you find a jumper that looks just like it this holiday season. All the best. xx

You are so beautiful 🤩

[@munyumunyu738]

Is it type of mascara that can be removed with only using lukewarm water?

[@savannahsdwyer]

Hi Amelia! Lukewarm water removes like 80-90% of the mascara, but it takes a little bit of cleaner/face wash for me to get that final bit off. Thanks for watching!!

[@lookingatdaisies9901]

I have products in every makeup category, mostly 1 item per category, ocassionally 2. Except eyeshadows (but they're all in 2 custom palettes) and lip colours. Storage is very manageable. I don't think i want a bigger collection

[@savannahsdwyer]

Love that. Thanks for watching & sharing. 💕

[@tanjas5375]

Looks very pretty, I prefer this style of make up too,i hate the insta-look kind of make up with contouring, highlighting and overlinig.some women look like they are wearing mask.

Thanks for watching! 💞

[@emo333vampire]

i love the look and idea of minimalist collection! please be careful with using lip products also on the eyes (i am a dental hygienist and the mouth is second dirtiest part of the body after the rectum 🤢)

Oh wow, haha.

It is 10 months later, don't know that you will reply, but, where is that sweater from???? Love Violette, too. I look forward to exploring your channel!

[@savannahsdwyer]

All good! Still here 10mos later! lol! Omg, it’s the best sweater, but it’s a random brand from a boutique that I could never find online. Other people asked about it, too. Sorry 💔 Thanks so much for being here!! I don’t have that much makeup content, but def a lot of closet vids. Welcome!! ✨⭐️

how do you function with no makep???

[@ritalynb7070]

@@disneytoysr4fun975 don't really understand the question 🤷 Makeup isn't necessary for anything. I hate the way it feels on my skin. Instead I take care of my skin and eat right & hydrate. I look years younger than I am and save time & money.

[@disneytoysr4fun975]

@@ritalynb7070 you can get a bb cream or tinted moisturizer if it feels weird. I just cant imagine not having makeup.❤️
