Makeup After 30: Just 3 Steps, Zero Clutter

In my 20s, I thought good makeup meant layers: foundation, shadow palettes, a dozen lipsticks. I spent a lot—and ended up with dry patches, cakey base, and drawers full of things I never used. Moving apartments? A nightmare. Now, in my 30s, I’ve simplified everything. Fewer steps, better skin, and way less waste. Here’s what stuck: 0️⃣ Prep: SPF50+ sunscreen replaces foundation. I’ve repurchased this one for 10+ years. Lightweight, invisible, and never let me tan unevenly. 1️⃣ Base: Just concealer on spots and redness + setting powder. My cheap Thai powder cost $3 and lasts over a year. No foundation, no stress. 2️⃣ Color: One lipstick = blush + eyeshadow + lips. Dab it on with fingers—done in a minute, and the whole look stays color-coordinated. 3️⃣ Brow & liner: I use the same brow powder with a sharp brush for eyes and even light contour. Minimal tools, maximum use. Simple makeup feels fresher—and honestly, looks better. #beauty #makeup #minimalmakeup
