DECLUTTERING MY ENTIRE MAKEUP COLLECTION | huge makeup declutter & getting rid of my makeup (2020) 💄

Hello Beauties! Last year I decluttered my ENTIRE makeup collection to fit into one *very* oversized makeup bag to really minimize my collection and give myself room to ACTUALLY use up my makeup. I've had a lot of time to test out what I use and enjoy regularly, and some time to add in some new bits along the way. I have a pretty good idea of what I enjoy and use often in my makeup, so it's time to declutter and get rid of the things I'm no longer using and that's just taking up space.

I realize what I did keep may still look excessive to some, but I think it's a step in the right direction to living with less, and using what I have and feeling like that is Enough. 🙏🏻

I did mention that I would like to transition to cruelty-free beauty when I do need to replace my products. One that I haven't yet is my EltaMD SPF - if you have a CF SPF that you love and doesn't break you out, let me know! 🐰

Have you decluttered your makeup recently? It feels good to have whittled my collection down to what I really enjoy using, and use often. Happy Sunday, beauties! Xo

I really appreciated all the illustrations on this. 😊

I stopped buying makeup 3 yrs ago. I then started buying way too much skincare. I stopped that a couple yrs ago. Now, I make sure to finish something before I buy another one. it’s taken me years to get here, but it’s so

It's a relief to know that others also went through the phase that is make up hoarding. The 2018-2019 beauty & makeup booming era got me into a very bad habit of accumulating 30++ makeup products that I'll never use up! Had since decluttered 80% of them. Also proud that for 2 years now I've only bought 3 products that I actually need and really use.

I got rid of/used up all make up products that didn't work for me or I didn't really like. Yes, it's nice having 8 foundations, 15 rouges, 50 eye shadows, 40 lipsticks, ... but it's nonsense considering I have my favorite foundation and my favorite 5 lipsticks. I also got sick of organizing the stuff. Sooo yes, decluttering was great even though I felt guilty for the money spent

[meepmoopmeep]

This is exactly the format of makeup declutter I love 🤤

[evelinagutauskaite]

with milks products you have to remove and throw out that clear plastic dome thingy before first using it :D and it doesn't get messy that way

I bought a lot of makeup just because of the hype. It makes me sad when I think that I spent so much money on all that stuff laying in my drawers just to get expired. I decluttered about a year ago. There is still so much left. Gotta declutter once again soon. So far I've been focusing on finishing as much as possible. Haven't bought makeup in a couple of years. I unsubscribed to all kinds of beauty brands on social media so I don't get tempted to buy new things. My goal is to store all my makeup in one small bag. I like makeup but it doesn't mean that I have to own it all 😅

i adore the cute drawing edits for this declutter!

[hannahjane]

i don’t wear makeup most days & i’m stuck between loving effortless, pretty natural looks & then just having fun with colors sometimes because my career is in art, haha.
so what i do to manage is i have a small vanity in my bedroom i created using a shelf unit that has two drawers, and in the drawers i used create your own size dividers. it took some work & math on paper, but i mapped out sections for all different types of makeup products & in an organized flow that works for my mind. & my rule is i’m simply not allowed to purchase a type of product if its’ section in the drawer is full. the only section that goes beyond its’ space is my palette section, simply because they’re clunky & big and both eyeshadow & face palettes are in this section... so what i did was i bought a small bamboo dish drying holder & nailed it into the wall by my mirror & it slots in 8 eyeshadow palettes perfectly. & that is it.
on top of my vanity is just my jewelry, my perfumes, my brushes & sponges, and a daily brush cleaner & a makeup remover.

Great Declutter! As I've gotten older the past few years, my skin and preferences have changed and I've gotten to know my preferences. I have been diligently using up products for a couple of years now (more aggressively this year) and I have decluttered shades and formulas that just aren't doing much for me. I love how the less I have, the more I feel like I have since I don't have 'dead weight' products weighing my makeup stash down. I'm growing more content and satisfied with buying less and less and just keeping the best.

[SarahKotri]

One thing I do occasionally is pack up my makeup for a vacation. That really shows me my most loved items and how little I need. Skin care is harder for me, I have a bunch of the ordinary’s bottles which are impossible to travel with. But anyways, this is a good exercise especially to get rid of expired and unflattering items! 😊

[daypr]

I had such a great time hanging out with you today for this declutter! ☺️❤️ xo

[rachelfullerton]

Would love to see your minimalist makeup and skincare collections now that you've decluttered them!! Love your videos, they are really calm and concious and make me excited about simplifying my life. ❤️

[saraangel]

I just discovered you because of this video, and wow, i love your editing style, the music, your voice and personality, everything!!! I’m so glad i found you!! Now, off to subscribe and watch all of your videos!

[BL-jonm]

I actually do not own any makeup item. I find no purpose in it for me and no one has ever told me that not wearing any is an issue: coworkers, clients are used to my “natural” face. As I’m getting older, I’ve come to realize that many people do not wear makeup or very very little. I find mainstream media would like us to believe otherwise...Hence making many buy into the makeup culture and excessive buying of products.

[anne-marieautry]

YAY!! So much fun to watch!I I love how edited your collection now is!!! Thank you for sharing with us.And yes, Im a makeup junkie and Ive been doing MUCH better with spending and decluttering but it is difficult for me.

[CaenaGrey]

I am actually working through my collection in a 'slow declutter' right now. I pick out a bunch of makeup from my collection to use for awhile and it either goes back into my drawers or gets decluttered. I have actually gotten rid of 16 items since I started about 2 weeks ago. It's about all I can handle to do it this way. It's so much easier for me if I can use it for awhile before deciding.

[JazzyBabe]

I love watching make up declutter vids - I don't wear make up myself but its always fun to see whats popular and what other people find works well....Happy Sunday! Cheers!

[kayjays]

I within the last year bought two eyeshadow pallets, kinda regret it as I don't wear makeup that often or use all the colours often, so funnily enough think I'm gonna stick to singles from now on at least that way I can have colours that I know I will wear :) :)
