if you were only allowed 5 products TOTAL to pull off a face, what would you go for?

I think for me I'd opt for:

 - a really good foundation
- an eyeshadow that could also be used to highlight, and potentially dusted under foundation
- black eye pencil
- black mascara
- a statement lippy

Foundation
Mascara
Eyeliner

BB cream and mascara. My skin is really great right now and I really love a more natural look. I guess I am a bit boring when it comes to make up.

A 5 mixture of botox and surgery!! but cleanser, toner, moisturiser, cc cream, foundation/tinted moisturiser/BB cream and eyeliner are sufficient (just!) for me to leave the house!

5 products seems like a lot but I would probably go with...
-BB/CC cream
-Mascara
-Eyshadow
-Lipstick/Liquid Lipstick
Actually I only need 4. I think I have a more natural look, although I really admire full glam.

 I have left the house bare faced many a time. But if I had to do a face of makeup and only had 5 products. I'd pick 

- a good full coverage foundation that self sets/BB cream
- eye primer
- an all in one face palette that has eyeshadows, blush, bronzer and highlight (I actually have one of these it's the In the Balm of Your Hand Volume 2 or I'd pick my Becca Apres Face Palette that has bronzers, blush and highlighters that can double as eyeshadow)
- eyeliner
- lippy

   Luckily I wake up with brows that are dark and not sparse and so I'd probably just brush those into place with a spoolie.

That's a pretty good and valid question! This happened to me once when I was in a rush and had like 10minutes to spare.

- a good concealer. I cover my dark bags and make sure I blend them out to look more natural. I like skipping foundation when I can.
- loose powder
- eyebrow pencil w/ sponge applicator
- curlash
- lipstick

thats totally cheating, tannygirl!

interesting that some people think 5 is a lot and some people think it's quite hard; 5 seemed like a doable-but-low number to me!

- foundation
- black eyeliner (I'd also use it to tint my lashes)
- pink lipstick (doubled as blush)
- a natural eyeshadow palette (that could provide a little contouring, highlighting and brow filling)
- setting powder

That's my travelling light make up bag.

Great question...

Cleanser
Moisturiser
Loreal Pro Glow (I can use it as concealer + foundation)
A shimmery eye shadow that could also be a highlight
My favourite mascara which is currently Lash Princess by Essence

I'm going to assume we are talking about five makeup products as I would have used five skincare products already, before putting my face on. So....

foundation or BB cream
eyebrow pencil 
eyeshadow
mascara
lipstick

Oh - in that case it's CC cream, tinted foundation/foundation, natural glow, eye liner and lip gloss.

In order of importance:
Mascara
Eyebrow gel
BB (or CC or light foundation depending on the day)
Eyeshadow (does primer before the shadow count?)
Blush or highlighter (depending on mood)

I rarely use more than the above (and often a lot less), but somestimes a lippy, and if it's a night out I'll do primer then foundation, and layer highlighter over blush plus do a bit of a smokey eye.

- Eyebrow pencil

- Lipstick
- Highlighter, or luminising powder

See I don’t mind five products! My weekend face is usually pretty basic.

I’m going;
Concealer - used buffed in all over the face but a bit more layered under my eyes.
Eye liner - because if I don’t my eyes look like they’re sinking into my face.
Mascara - ditto.
Blush - to make me look alive and less flat faced.
Lip product - usually just go for a balm in the weekend but sometimes a colour.

I must admit my weekday face is probably closer to 10-ish!

Also to add that I somewhat cheat at this because my eyebrows are tinted and shaped so they don’t need products if I’m going natural looking.
