I hear ya! I need undereye concealer too.
I think that and well groomed eyebrows are so important for a fresh faced look. I like just those two things and blush for days when I don't have time or when I'm off and running around:)

I would use lipstick for my lips and cheeks (lipstick makes a quick and easy cream blush). Then I would use a hint of eyeshadow and mascara. I can get through the day with just that.

I would pick, some loose powder, because I'm not really fond of foundation. Mascara, because I have not much eyelashes.~lol So they have to be enhance. I hope so with mascara. Waterproof mascara would be better. And some liquid lipstick, which can serve as lipstick, eye shadow, and blush on. ~lol 3in1 item. Have a nice weekend Smellsyummy! (^^,)

Good Question! I think i'd pick lip balm (the coloured variety!), some concealer and some SPF 15 very light foundation. If hair products were allowed too then I'd have blonde hair paste! lol

As only wear 3 items that is not hard for me to answer I use a soft eyebrow/liner pencil to shape my eyebrows, mascara and light lipstick.

1. Mascara
2. Lippie (bright red of course)
3. liquid eyeliner. black or a really vibrant colour (red or green if not black)
that's actually what I wear most days.
just eyeliner, mascara and lippie.
if I can only have one thing, mascara for my blonde eyelashes. 2, then lippie. 3 then my eyeliner, which is sort of a trademark.
item 4 would be coloured eyebrow wax, as my eyebrows are very very blonde. I like benefit Brow Zings, but the old style ones.
I never wear foundation. it's always too dark for my skin, and my skin is really good now I've found just the right skincare. my cleanser cured my acne, my toner freshens it all up and my moisturiser leaves it really matt and even and glowing.
I've recently taken to giving myself a beauty spot on the cheekbone. I've had loads of compliments for it.

Hi smellsyummy. I don't use makeup that much unless there is a special occasion. In regular days I use lipstick, and some makeup for my cheeks and pencils for my eyes. Sorry I don't know the names of makeup.
So if I had to only pick up 3 items for my makeup it would be: pink lipstick, black pencil and a red or pink blush for my cheeks.

Since I barely wear makeup on the daily...I actually put it on very well but I usually just wear it when I'm going out and special occasions b/c I don't take the time in the a.m....anyways,
lip liner
lip gloss
mascara

I would choose foundation, eye shadow and lipgloss. I can't go out of the house without wearing foundation because I don't like all the dust and dirt directly contacting my face. Then I can't live without my smoky eyes (yes I have smoky eyes day and night *laughs*). And I think lipgloss does make the whole makeup look more alive and vivid. Well, I guess now when I think about it this way, I don't need to buy that much makeup products *laughs*!

Easy Easy one. Same three things I wear when I leave my house. I wear a concealer an earthy color blush and lipstick of a natural tint or what some say earthy color. Once in a great while I will toss on eyeshadow but that is rare and far between. If I am around here and or just going to family I'll either put on just blush or just lipstick.

I really only ever use 3 items - mascara, blush and lipstick. I do use lip balm all the time but I don't consider that make-up. I used to wear eye shadow when I was younger, when I was working, but I now find it makes my eyes itchy so I don't use it. I never used eye liner. I also used to use lipstick with lip liner but don't go to all that trouble anymore. In fact, I only use make-up on special occasions. I am usually home all day, or go out to run errands - I don't wear make-up then. I only wear it when I don't want to look like a corpse.

Well, I usually only wear 3 or 4 items anyway, so this is a pretty easy question. Foundation, lipgloss, and some blush would be the top three. Some Revlon lash tint would be my fourth item, if allowed. It's great, it doesn't go on as thick as regular mascera, but it is totally water and smudge proof.

I'm going to have to try the Revlon lash tint, I've been looking for a replacement for my favorite one that was discontinued and I love a natural looking mascara:)
Neutrogena's lash tint was awful for me because it wasn't waterproof.
