I have reached a major realization today. I am a makeup hoarder. I buy, buy, buy without finishing what I have and I have tons of things that never get used up before they expire. I'm trying to edit down my collection into a more manageable and sensible size, while still maintaining versatility with my looks.

So my question is, what are your essentials? What products do you buy again and again and use everyday (or almost). Feel free to be super specific! I'm always super curious and nosy about people's makeup bags 😜

So my essentials are most of the things I use whenever I do makeup (some things I'm looking to replace with other products or switch out with other products so I don't have like a staple essential) but here's a breakdown:

NYX Photo Loving Primer
NYX HD Concealer
MAC Blot Powder
Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer
Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes
MAC Mineralize Blush in Warm Soul
