Absolutely, I know my colors and that I have a preference for a classic romantic style, so nothing really phases me. If anything I get bored looking at trends and seeing people blindly follow them without getting to know themselves.
I've been trying to practice this for a couple of years now. I've been thrifting my clothes online and have beautiful clothes in cotton, linen wool, and silk. I've always had a minimalist beauty routine, so i don't have to worry about that! Great video, as always!
Upon cleaning out my mom’s house when she passed away, we found like 4 full unopened Coty Airspun powder! I go through Nivea in the tubs like crazy. Been using it for 20 years. Vaseline is a great eyelash conditioner and if you put a thin layer on and curl your lashes, it will hold your curl.
Another thing that’s important is the diet. When you’re ingesting foods that have high nutritional value, the less beauty products you need. The food they consumed back then was less processed than it is today💫✨🌟.
I agree! I’ve been on the carnivore diet for a few months, and my skin has become very clear and I only get a pimple once in blue moon. Since starting the diet, I have ditched most of my skincare such as my exfoliater and moisturizer!
I use Pond's Cold Cream to remove my make up. It is a wonderful product. My mom used Pond's Cold Cream, Max Factor Creme Puff Powder and lipstick. She had a beautiful complexion all her life. I have too many lipsticks. I think I will stop buying for awhile so I can use up what I have. Thanks for the fun video.
I started using ponds again too. I just bough the original Ponds hydrating cream with the baby blue lid. People are saying it is a Charlotte Tilbury magic cream dupe
I used to be obsessed with collecting makeup and getting the new releases. Now I stick with my staples and go for a natural look. I don't need all that stuff.
I’ve went the natural skincare route. I use honey and frankincense to wash my face and Castor oil, frankincense and rose hip for moisture. This stuff works. Lasts forever and natural. Trying to get away from the chemicals.
I’ve always liked make up even when I was in the ninth grade. I used to love to look at the pictures in the magazines so I took on extra babysitting to afford what I really wanted. And I have to admit when I found TH-cam and I noticed make up channels, I was hooked and was buying everything everybody put out especially urban decay and Mac. I never really got into the color pop limited edition but I did enjoy BH cosmetics. I think like everyone else who got caught up in that TH-cam make up craze 10/15 years ago, we now have drawers full of make up lol I am going through it and have gotten rid of tons of make up. I am hoping to become a lot more minimal with purchases because now I know exactly what I like but formulas change and some of my favorite makeup is just gotten way too expensiveand I just refuse to pay those prices for example urban decay eye pencils are outrageously priced now so I’m testing out Sephora and Ulta brands. The one I used from L’Oreal for years and years was discontinued about 10 years ago. It’s that kind of change that gets me back to looking and buying more make up to find something comparable.
I wish besame would make refillable lipsticks. I was disappointed with the ingredients for the new refillable release from Lisa Eldridge. We should sign a petition for Besame to create one and minis again!
I was also really disappointed with the new LE. I bought 2 of them, thinking finally truly cool toned lipsticks! But they are dark and muddy on me. I've bought a lot of her products and as much as I've tried to make them work for me, I end up reselling them. I tried to love her products, but i think it's time to find something else.
@@KT-rz7ue I bought her velvets when they first came out and I was so excited, but the formula was very drying on my lips so I returned them. I tried two of her shadows and they weren’t what I was looking for either. Plus the ingredients weren’t what I really wanted. I was happy about the new lipsticks being plastic free. Maybe she will release the refills in more shades and formulas for us 🤞
I don't shop beauty on aesthetics, but I do have the same face and features as Gene Tierney, so even when I'm doing a dramatic style to be more edgy, I tend to use 40s starlet styles because it just fits my face shape, cheekbones, and brows better. Plus I have freckles so gentle powders for foundation and contour don't hide them.
I actually have been refilling beautiful containers or decorating the ones I have to make them feel special. It reminds me that the art is marketing and what I need/ works the best sometimes repotted is a brand new treasure. Then I can also just buy larger containers for refills which is cool since it actually can be less plastics in the long run.
Yes, that Nivea from Germany is wholly something else!! I lived in Germany in college for 2 years so u know, broke college student also trying to travel and live my best life, I was shocked at Nivea’s quality there, the plain one in a tin
The nice thing about red lipstick is you can usually use it as a sort of pink lipstick by only using a little! It’s like 2 in 1 😊 3 in 1 if you can get away with using it as a blush. A modern version might be a cheek and lip stain/tint? I have a tint from mco beauty and I remember the milk makeup ones were pretty popular. I think one thing to be mindful of is preservatives, some modern makeup doesn’t have enough!
Great video Laura! Definitely gave me some good ideas about how to cut back, use up what I already have, and appreciate quality, tried and true beauty items!
Less is more! Watching those unrealistic huge makeup collections videos always made me wonder: “why?” 🤷🏻♀️ You really don’t need that much! I love intentional buying. I don’t have a collection of anything, basically. I only buy products that I’m going to use. I’ve got 4 or 5 different shades of lipstick, but only one foundation, concealer, moisturizer, eye cream, etc.
I typically double cleanse if I wear makeup, but if I don't I just typically use a cold cream and then a serum and a toner and a moisturizer that's all you really need.
My night routine has been the same as what my mom used and got for me when I started wearing makeup 20+ years ago: Dove beauty bar for cleansing and Oil of Olay moisturizer (the original light pink formula). I’ve been told i smell like Oil of Olay, and I love that. :)
Part of the point of underconsumption is that you don't need to buy new things. Use what you have first before you get something else. Use your products in multiple ways (lipstick can be used as cream blush, powder blush can be used as eyeshadow or mixed with a little bit of powder to create a tinted powder, use mascara that's been open longet than you'd like on your lashes in your brows if the color will work). Then, and only then, should you take stock of what you need and pick what in the market seems like the best option or restock on the one thing that you know is what you want. Just going out and buying Pond's cold cream if you have a lot of cleansers or moisturizers defeats the purpose.
I’ve never had a lot of makeup or skin care products. Simple is always better. I hope this isn’t just another trend that will soon be replaced by the next one social media creates.
The two products that have come with me and are repurchased throughout my makeup routine: Maybelline Great Lash in Waterproof and CT Hollywood Flawless Filter shade 4 👍🏼
I love this old message. It can be quite difficult to find the products that are right before knowing when you have found your thing. My tried and true ride or die is cocoa butter though. It is really good for my eczema but smells great instead of weird and medically and fragrance. Is Leah beautifully on the top.
This is more modern, but my go-to product is timted moisturizer instead of foundation. It costs less than them, is one less step, and goes on easily, and keeps my skin moist as well. It also looks both natural and finished.
I always go back to the The physician's formula healthy foundation!! Oh my skin looks and feels so good. It has been discontinued recently I bought 2 bottles. The last two in a store in another town because it was sold out online and in my city. Also a recommendation from a great dermatologist here on TH-cam is LESS IS MORE. Many people end up destroying their skin barrier because they are using so many serums and stuff. You only need 1 cleanser 1 moisturizer and sunblock for your skin to look good and if you want to add one or two serums
I love the idea of a very minimalist make up collection and see the environmental and financial benefits. However, products have a limited shelf life - say 12 months from opening. Some care needs to be taken with some products for example mascara which can lead to serious infections. Love the video overall ❤
Baking soda is great to add to: Toothpaste=whitens teeth Facewash=super gentle but effective exfoliating I also use it with other affordable household products to create cleansers and make detergent for washing clothes
Also, if it is too rough for sensitive teeth, you don't have to use it as a tooth scrub. Adding a little to a mouthwash also neutralizes bacterial acids.
I've missed this one, I'm trying to catch up. I'm quite simple with my make up and skin care options. I do go nuts and buy a lot of products at times. But I generally use products till completely finished or I would through what I have then buy more items ❤❤❤❤. Just a fabulous video!!!!!!
I used to use a small spoon to get all of the product out of a small mouth jar. Now I use products with large mouth jars, Coty Powder without talc, and minimal makeup. It looks better on my older face. My Grandma, born in 1904, used Ponds, Cover Girl powder and blush, and a lipstick. My Grandpa would buy her Chanel #5 for Christmas. Happy memories of her!
My go to makeup product is maybeline colossal mascara in the yellow tube. The only downside is getting it off 😂. That and drs bronners castile soap and thayers witch hazel toner with almond oil. Im 35 and people think Im 24😂
Please be very careful using tallow. There is tallow for cooking and thete is cosmetic grade. It depends on the saponification process used. Know what is used in the process. How many times is the process repeated? The more, the better. But know there is always a fatty smell to tallow products unless it has been mixed with another oil and added more perfume. That defeats the purpose of using a tallow product. I have psoriasis, and a good tallow soap does wonders for my skin.
I love ponds and have for years. 1 primer 1 setting spray 3 glosses. (Clear, muted pink, deep red) 2lip liners. (My lip color and a maroon) 5 lipsticks (one frosty peachy muave, three red of which one is Matte one is shiny n one is a lip vinyl and one pure matte muted muave) 1 blush pallete (elf four shades) 1 dou highlight 1 bronzer 2 mascaras 1 eyeshadow pallet 1 liquid liner n one pencil 1 brow pencil 1 liquid and one powder foundation for days where I don’t need to be fully done up. Maybe I really don’t need to look for anything else. I look into it a lot but maybe I don’t need anymore. I’ve recently moved and I kinda just got most this together. Most of them I’ve used for years. I use most of my items daily with the exception of lip products n foundations n liquid liner.
For me it’s maybelline matte n poreless. Tried it as a teen and I love it more now that I’m oilier. Wet n wild duo highlight I’ve loved for years. Their bronzer n setting powder dou I love and have been using for a few years now maybe 4 or 5?Great lash ofcourse. The elf blush quad I also have been using for years. The maybelline lip vinyl in 55 royal is my go to for glossy red lips that never budge. As for glosses anything with a lip plumper. My go to is the lip injection by two faced and the elf lip plumper gloss but the elf one I will admit I just discovered. The rest listed above have become a part of my signature look.
I think thebalm og products go with this motto very good. They have highlighters and bronzers that can be used in the eyes (are eyes safe, they are formulated as eyeshadows) i wish more brands would do that. Make a product multifunctional and safe
I feel awful about my past consumption especially in the beauty department. I have so many eyeshadow palettes when i hardly wear makeup at all anymore. I want to pare down, but then i feel awful about throwing things away
I started using it about 5 months ago. It is fantastic-- it absorbs well so doesn't stay greasy, and works best for my excema-prone skin in winter. I even made creme blush and moisturizing concelaer by adding a small amount of coconut creme to powdered blush the I crushed into powder. It works incredibly well. I bought a medium size container for $18, and I still have 1/3 of the tub left. I wish I had known about it years ago!
Three face products I love and keep going back to: Plain real soap for cleansing. I like the Purity bar from Goat Milk Stuff. It’s creamy and unscented, and it doesn’t dry out my extremely sensitive skin. Even if I use it twice a day. It’s that mild. Plain witch hazel to tone and exfoliate. I like Dickinson’s original, it’s only two ingredients and a 4 dollar bottle lasts all year. Tallow balm to moisturize. The best one is from PapaBear Naturals. It has tallow, olive oil, beeswax, and honey. That’s it!!
In the 80s my sister who is 8 years older then me used baby lotion to take off makeup and when I started using makeup as a teen in early 90s I used it and only stopped using it around 2010 because it was cheaper than Clinique soap which I used when I could afford it. Now I have lots of makeup removers lol .
My sister dermatologist ( a very good one in a very expensive part of the city) told me to use baby shampoo ( Johnson's original ) to wash my face. My skin improved a lot !!
There used to be only four nail polish colors where we shopped: red, pink, clear, and a transparent rose that was appropriate even for a little girl and that seems to have disappeared since the mid Nineteen Fifties.
Olive oil and cornstarch are still cheaper. Olive oil for makeup remover and moisturizer, cornstarch for face and body powder. If olive oil is too oily for my needs, I also use clear aloe vera gel, which also works as a light hair gel. Sometimes, I mix both together. Beet juice makes a nice cheek and lip stain. Burnt almond, or cork, for eyeshadow. But I haven't found a broke-crunchy mascara replacement, yet...and I still buy dark red lipstick and liner.
I tried to leave a link to an article with multiple brands, but it was removed. Women of color had brands like Overton Hygienic, Valmor, Keystone Laboratories, and Lucky Heart Laboratories in the early-to-mid 20th century.
I’m glad there are a lot of choices available now. I remember when Fashion Fair was just about all I had access to about 30 years ago and it gave me a rash. 😂
Well, the only minimalist thing I do now is skincare, and that is due to necessity. Since the pandemic my skin has become more sensitive, and I can only use two products from La Roche Posay , , cleanser and moisturizer. Still too sensitive to use exfoliant or serums, and miss them.
My whole beauty routine is 1. Cleaning: A bar of facewash soap, micellar water, and a clay mask for once and a while fun. 2. Makeup: eyeliner, brow gel, mascara, neutral shadow, and 2 lipsticks (a red for night and a pink for day) 3. Hair: shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, and a curling iron i almost never use. Some razors. The end. I never understood the endless beauty supplies obsession
I think that if they did have Sephora back then and could afford it, they would have bought all that they could as people do now. The same way the aristocrats and high society people of the past collected clothes, shoes, and jewelry ( think Marie Antoinette, or Elizabeth Taylor). Options were limited, and funds were scarce for most common folk. Also, products were better quality and lasted longer. Just my two cents. Though I do think we should buy less today, they would be ordering online with the rest of us. Love your videos by the way 😘
I love this comment! We are all working with human nature, just different resources. I’m so happy to see someone else voice something I’ve long thought ❤
Once I find something that works, I will use it and replace for years without trying much other variations. Still trying to find a concealer and contour that works on me though :(
I appreciate your thoughts on this but I’d be incredibly curious about marketing and advertising during the 1940s. For example, why did a woman NEED to have a red lipstick and make it last? This is still a manufactured need from businesses, just something to keep in mind 😊
Although I agree that things were more simple They needed a lot of tools to do the hair back then. I have a vintage hair book that discusses all these tools and features. Likewise, they had a lot of make up tools. I would suspect these were inexpensive and we’re easy to obtain.
Seeing makeup artist Daniel Martin's gigantic collection of makeup, really turned me off. Alot of that could have been donated to women's charities years ago.
Oh dear, thought your channel held a genuine opinion. Now I see you’re simply promoting a few products, I,e. Coty and Vaseline. Really overdone, you’ve just lost a viewer. Doing the same as everyone else, but in a different overcoat. Bibi.
When you become an expert in yourself and what you like, you aren’t easily influenced by marketing ploys. 💜
Absolutely, I know my colors and that I have a preference for a classic romantic style, so nothing really phases me. If anything I get bored looking at trends and seeing people blindly follow them without getting to know themselves.
Well said!
PERFECTLY PUT!
Exactly. Beautiful and perfectly surmised statement! ❤
Well stated!

I agree to all the points. I always go back to Nivea crème, Revlon lipstick, and revlon compact powder.
Yesss same here! That's what I use and sometimes I splurge on face sprays and masks from tj Maxx but that's it
I LOVE Revlon lipsticks
This is so refreshing and a much-needed message to counter all the marketing content we're bombarded with all day. Thank you for that!
The cat in the fancy pearls is silently judging you as you discuss cutting back on consumption.

Where do you get your Pond's cold cream? It isn't in the shops anymore (UK)
All these reviews say Ponds’ formula has changed and isn’t good anymore.
@@Laurajaneatelier
Vaseline & Noxema☺️
I used to be obsessed with collecting makeup and getting the new releases. Now I stick with my staples and go for a natural look. I don't need all that stuff.
So true, I get stressed with too much makeup.
Me2. I have one eye shadow pallette that compliments my eye color, 1 foundation and concealer and my Besame lipstick 💄 which I love❤
Ponds cold cream is really useful. It removes makeup and leaves your face moisturized.
Yes, I love that one, it's a classic
Makes me break out
I use the CeraVe face cream, which is their version of cold cream and it really does do everything. I love it so much.
Where can you get it in 2024 in the UK????
I remove my makeup with ponds cold cream but then cleanse, tone, and moisturize. Am I doing too much?
I’ve went the natural skincare route. I use honey and frankincense to wash my face and Castor oil, frankincense and rose hip for moisture. This stuff works. Lasts forever and natural. Trying to get away from the chemicals.

I use almond cream with E vitamin. Nothing more. I like the way it makes my skin feel.
Baking soda is great to add to:
Toothpaste=whitens teeth
Facewash=super gentle but effective exfoliating
I also use it with other affordable household products to create cleansers and make detergent for washing clothes
Too alkaline for the face!
If you do use it this way, I think it would be safer if you remember to always use an acidic toner, afterward.
Also, if it is too rough for sensitive teeth, you don't have to use it as a tooth scrub.
Adding a little to a mouthwash also neutralizes bacterial acids.
@TwisterTornado totally do, been rocking it for years

Great video 😊
I love ponds and have for years.
1 primer
1 setting spray
3 glosses. (Clear, muted pink, deep red)
2lip liners. (My lip color and a maroon)
5 lipsticks (one frosty peachy muave, three red of which one is Matte one is shiny n one is a lip vinyl and one pure matte muted muave)
1 blush pallete (elf four shades)
1 dou highlight
1 bronzer
2 mascaras
1 eyeshadow pallet
1 liquid liner n one pencil
1 brow pencil
1 liquid and one powder foundation for days where I don’t need to be fully done up.
Maybe I really don’t need to look for anything else. I look into it a lot but maybe I don’t need anymore. I’ve recently moved and I kinda just got most this together. Most of them I’ve used for years. I use most of my items daily with the exception of lip products n foundations n liquid liner.
For me it’s maybelline matte n poreless. Tried it as a teen and I love it more now that I’m oilier.
Wet n wild duo highlight I’ve loved for years. Their bronzer n setting powder dou I love and have been using for a few years now maybe 4 or 5?Great lash ofcourse. The elf blush quad I also have been using for years. The maybelline lip vinyl in 55 royal is my go to for glossy red lips that never budge. As for glosses anything with a lip plumper. My go to is the lip injection by two faced and the elf lip plumper gloss but the elf one I will admit I just discovered. The rest listed above have become a part of my signature look.
18:03 and where exactly ones go to refill makeup?
I think thebalm og products go with this motto very good. They have highlighters and bronzers that can be used in the eyes (are eyes safe, they are formulated as eyeshadows) i wish more brands would do that. Make a product multifunctional and safe
I feel awful about my past consumption especially in the beauty department. I have so many eyeshadow palettes when i hardly wear makeup at all anymore. I want to pare down, but then i feel awful about throwing things away
Just sell them on Facebook marketplace I sell stuff on there all the time
I completely agree! Another masterpiece 😊
Thank you
looOoove this!
Hot tip: coconut oil instead of moisturizer or body cream and makeup removal. (Save your skin from absorbing chemicals)
I started using it about 5 months ago. It is fantastic-- it absorbs well so doesn't stay greasy, and works best for my excema-prone skin in winter. I even made creme blush and moisturizing concelaer by adding a small amount of coconut creme to powdered blush the I crushed into powder. It works incredibly well.
I bought a medium size container for $18, and I still have 1/3 of the tub left. I wish I had known about it years ago!
Three face products I love and keep going back to:
Plain real soap for cleansing. I like the Purity bar from Goat Milk Stuff. It’s creamy and unscented, and it doesn’t dry out my extremely sensitive skin. Even if I use it twice a day. It’s that mild.
Plain witch hazel to tone and exfoliate. I like Dickinson’s original, it’s only two ingredients and a 4 dollar bottle lasts all year.
Tallow balm to moisturize. The best one is from PapaBear Naturals. It has tallow, olive oil, beeswax, and honey. That’s it!!
I really need to work on this alost to the point of needing to find a sponsor 😂
Another great video LJA! 💜❤💜
Great Depression core lol
I have my mother's hard clutch with a refillable compact and lipstick tube, but I don't know how to get them refilled with my own color.
In the 80s my sister who is 8 years older then me used baby lotion to take off makeup and when I started using makeup as a teen in early 90s I used it and only stopped using it around 2010 because it was cheaper than Clinique soap which I used when I could afford it. Now I have lots of makeup removers lol .
My sister dermatologist ( a very good one in a very expensive part of the city) told me to use baby shampoo ( Johnson's original ) to wash my face. My skin improved a lot !!
@@angelaggarrido7816I'm going to try this
few products that im using for year. Argan oil, creme de la mer, chanel blushes and castroil oil.
There used to be only four nail polish colors where we shopped: red, pink, clear, and a transparent rose that was appropriate even for a little girl and that seems to have disappeared since the mid Nineteen Fifties.
Olive oil and cornstarch are still cheaper.
Olive oil for makeup remover and moisturizer, cornstarch for face and body powder.
If olive oil is too oily for my needs, I also use clear aloe vera gel, which also works as a light hair gel. Sometimes, I mix both together.
Beet juice makes a nice cheek and lip stain.
Burnt almond, or cork, for eyeshadow.
But I haven't found a broke-crunchy mascara replacement, yet...and I still buy dark red lipstick and liner.
in the era when many women wore coty airspun powder what did women with dark skin wear as the city would have shown up white on the skin xx
Very true I know in the 1950s there was a brand called poisoner
Posner
I tried to leave a link to an article with multiple brands, but it was removed. Women of color had brands like Overton Hygienic, Valmor, Keystone Laboratories, and Lucky Heart Laboratories in the early-to-mid 20th century.
I’m glad there are a lot of choices available now. I remember when Fashion Fair was just about all I had access to about 30 years ago and it gave me a rash. 😂
Well, the only minimalist thing I do now is skincare, and that is due to necessity. Since the pandemic my skin has become more sensitive, and I can only use two products from La Roche Posay , , cleanser and moisturizer. Still too sensitive to use exfoliant or serums, and miss them.
My whole beauty routine is 1. Cleaning: A bar of facewash soap, micellar water, and a clay mask for once and a while fun. 2. Makeup: eyeliner, brow gel, mascara, neutral shadow, and 2 lipsticks (a red for night and a pink for day) 3. Hair: shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, and a curling iron i almost never use.
Some razors. The end. I never understood the endless beauty supplies obsession
The less you do to your hair and skin, the better you look.
This is true!!
I think that if they did have Sephora back then and could afford it, they would have bought all that they could as people do now. The same way the aristocrats and high society people of the past collected clothes, shoes, and jewelry ( think Marie Antoinette, or Elizabeth Taylor). Options were limited, and funds were scarce for most common folk. Also, products were better quality and lasted longer. Just my two cents. Though I do think we should buy less today, they would be ordering online with the rest of us. Love your videos by the way 😘
I love this comment! We are all working with human nature, just different resources. I’m so happy to see someone else voice something I’ve long thought ❤
Love the skate vids! Keep it comin! Would/have you reviewed classic skate shoes?
I wash my face with Aveena. It works very well.I do believe less is more.😊 ❤
Once I find something that works, I will use it and replace for years without trying much other variations. Still trying to find a concealer and contour that works on me though :(
thoughtful consumption ❤
Careful, vaselin locks in moisture, but it won't help with dry skin. You need to use moisturiser beforehand.
I appreciate your thoughts on this but I’d be incredibly curious about marketing and advertising during the 1940s. For example, why did a woman NEED to have a red lipstick and make it last? This is still a manufactured need from businesses, just something to keep in mind 😊
I have never been one to be like the girls that over consume makeup and jewelry and clothing and I'm very proud of this fact.
Definitely a good thing you probably saved so much money
Good for you girl! I can see your skin is healthy and glowing so it definitely helped💞💞
So happy you didn’t fall for it!! It can really become an addiction for some people
my mom used Nivea cream wich includes paraffin made from petrolium, just coating petrolium on the face.
I wish it was easier to try makep before buying it. Sure you can go to sephora but those a germy and the lighting in there is awful...
❤❤❤!!!
FINALLY ❤
I think part of the reason why it was easy to underconsume was because of limited option.
Although I agree that things were more simple They needed a lot of tools to do the hair back then. I have a vintage hair book that discusses all these tools and features. Likewise, they had a lot of make up tools. I would suspect these were inexpensive and we’re easy to obtain.
Is it sponsored by cold cream?
No it’s not
Seeing makeup artist Daniel Martin's gigantic collection of makeup, really turned me off. Alot of that could have been donated to women's charities years ago.
Women's hairstyles were much more prettier & feminine.😉
Nivea in Europe is different then USA sadly
Oh dear, thought your channel held a genuine opinion. Now I see you’re simply promoting a few products, I,e. Coty and Vaseline. Really overdone, you’ve just lost a viewer. Doing the same as everyone else, but in a different overcoat. Bibi.
Ponds cold cream irritates my skin
Products with mineral oil are anything but sustainable. They’re products of the petroleum industry.
