Tiny but Mighty: My Pocket-Sized Full Makeup Routine Hack

Let me tell you, I absolutely love my job as a professional makeup artist. It's incredibly rewarding to help people feel confident and beautiful every day. However, one of the challenges I face is keeping my cosmetics organized, manageable, and light.

I'm always on the lookout for ways to simplify my makeup routine, and I recently discovered a game-changing solution. With trestique, I've found the one-way ticket to a de-cluttered makeup bag full of multifunctional, zero-waste clean beauty. Thanks to trestique's minimalist approach, I can create a full-face look for myself or my clients with just a handful of compact products.

Here's my efficient step-by-step trestique makeup routine:

1. First, I whip out my compact makeup bag that conveniently fits all of my makeup products. This bag is smaller than your average water bottle. I love that it is cylinder-shaped, light as a feather, holds all of my makeup essentials, and even has a built in mirror.
2. I start with the Foundation Stick and warm it up by applying a few circular strokes on the back of my hand. It comes with a built-in sponge for easy blending, so I dampen it, and use it to work the product all over my face. The coverage is super buildable and totally evens out my skin tone!
3. Then I go in with the Concealer Crayon to cover any blemishes and brighten my under-eyes. I apply this directly to my trouble areas and then flip it around to blend with the built-in sponge. I have to say, it blends like a DREAM and gives me the most natural, even coverage.
4. To add a little spice, I swipe the Shadow Crayon across my lids. Next--you guessed it--I flip the stick around to lightly tap and blend the color into my crease to accentuate my eyes. No more shattered eyeshadow palettes here!
5. Of course, can't forget to use the The Good Vibes Mascara with a built-in lash curler to make my eyes pop. A 2-in-1 lash curler and mascara, how innovative is that? Lash curlers take up space, so this is huge for me.
6. Finally, I moisturize my lips with the Lip Balm and layer the Matte Lip Crayon on top. The Pacific Peony shade is a matte pink on one side that blends perfectly on the cheeks for a natural flush of blush, or used as a gorgeous matte lipstick. The other side is a hydrating, lip balm which pairs perfectly on its own or as a first hydrating step or topper to add shine.
