How Much Makeup Do You Need? Only The Essentials

What: Artistry Essentials Makeup Kit, $59

Why: Let me tell you a story: It starts with a 24-hour stomach virus and ends with a sleep-deprived girl trying to save her Saturday night. (I'll spare you the details in between.) This happened to me last weekend, but with killer dinner reservations and reliable baby sitter already scheduled, I wasn't about to let a little exhaustion get in the way of my night on the town.

But no matter how much caffeine I chugged, my face still told the story of my sleepless night. The bags under my eyes looked especially viscious. So I whipped out the Artistry Essentials kit I'd received the day before and decided to put the products to the ultimate test.

Now the brains behind this mineral brand say their aim is to help a woman pare down her makeup to a limited amount of well-made products. This kit (the items will be sold separately starting in January) includes concealer, powder foundation, eyeshadow, blush, mascara, and lip gloss. So I followed their step-by-step instructions included in a booklet, and, with ten mintues to go, tried to do something to improve my situation.

Amazingly, it worked. I was shocked, but I actually looked well-rested and ready to go. And, despite the concealer being heavy enough to really camouflage the Birkin bags hanging under my eyes, my skin still looked fresh. So you can now count me amongst the converted. This handy kit now serves as my travel essentials thanks to its compact size, and the concealer especially hasn't left my side since. Now if only these geniuses could figure out a way to make me feel as good as I look…any ideas?

Now THIS is something I need! Talk about a solution for the girl on the go! I must have this for the post-holiday party mornings I’m going to start suffering through.
Deb

I’m just awful at picking the right beauty products and always look “made-up”. a complete kit that pares everything down to the bare essentials is just what I need!!
deb126

I would love to win because I can always use new make-up and I really love this make-up this stuff looks great and works very good, I love the brushes you get with it, gives a nice smooth finish and the colors are terrific!!
Tracy

I absolutely love makeup and trying new looks. I am a true powder (no foundation) type of girl. I am constantly looking for something that would give me that airbrushed look and this seems to be the ticket. You can’t top makeup that doesn’t seem like you have any on at all!
sonja schrader

This would be great for those quick pack your bag & go trips.
Anne Pichette

I am on the go all of the time, I need makeup that fast and hides my sometimes tired looking features. This kit looks like it would do the trick.
Jennifer Grover

what a great and convinient idea, I’d like one
Lenore

Hi, I would love to win this – what a great prize. I love to try different makeups to see how they look. You get everything you need to make yourself look fabulous.
Lisa Duvall

I need something that works. The older I get the more stuff I have to cover.
Kimber

Having a newborn requires a bit of make-up to compete with just how adorable he is!!!
Michelle Davis

I don’t wear a lot of makeup but have spots that need to be covered. i am always trying to find new products to keep that look of not wearing a lot of makeup but at the same time covering up the stuff you don’t want others to see.. this would be perfect. thanks for the opportunity to win… if not i will be purchasing!!
Amy

Boy do I need new brushes and these look nice. I have been wanting to try minerals and this would be a great treat.
JuHermz

Linda

I really do need a mineral makeup kit with all the right essentials.Would love to win an Artistry kit !
Jan

I really need this!!
Cynthia

This is a must have
Kelly

I’d actually like to win this for my teenage daughter (16 y/o). I have convinced her to start using mineral makeup and this would be an all-in-one makeup kit that she could carry around in her bag no matter where she goes that would keep her ready for anything…you all know how busy teenagers can be and how they always need to look perfect…lol.
kelly Seward

i’ve been dying to try mineral makeup but can’t afford it. i’d love to win some!

This would be perfect for all those mornings when I’m in a hurry and need to get out the door fast!
Kristi

Help! Bring on the makeup, please!
Michele

I have not bought new makeup in longer than I can count….thsi would be great.
Dodo O

I would like this makeup to replace all the old makeup I have.
Libby

Back to work after having my son and would love to have some new makeup to hide those “I don’t get to sleep at night” dark circles under my eyes!
Betty Busbee

I am a senior citizen, but try to keep up with the latest fashions. In fact, my sons call me a classy senior. Make-up is a very important and necessary item for people in my age range. We need to look younger and stay beautiful. I have purchased a variety of make-up that has ended up in the trash because it didn’t work. This sounds like a kit made for us busy seniors who want to keep up with the fashion world! I would be thrilled to win, and would probably be a continuing customer.
Guri

I got mine not long ago and I Love it.
It takes guesswork out of putting on makeup!!!
I just got one for my mom (who hardly ever wears makeup) — she were makeup every day last week.
Theresa

I think I could cut off 15 mins. of my makeup time with this package! Love the natural look.
suruchi

I really love them…..I sell them and so I know how awesome they r…best ROI..and the skin looks flawless…must buy…
Lexi

Artistry a terrific way to look great. Artistry’s special all natural blend for all skin types, tones & all ages is so easy. When you look great you feel great. For those of you that don’t like the caked on feeling and have not worn make-up for that reason this will change your way of thinking 110%. It did for me when I was introduced to the product during an Essential Party. Let’s get you started in becoming a new you. ALL OF YOU!!! http://www.gfinnegan.qbeautyzone.com
