It will never be easy to tackle minimalism in one article, it is so broad and has so many approaches, which makes it already so convenient for many to follow. The idea of minimalism has always been there, and it is embedded in many of us without even realizing it. But I can remember when the KonMari’s method became a trend, back in 2011 when the “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying: The Japanese Art by the Japanese genius Marie Kondo, and everyone managed to get a part of their life minimalized through her ways.
With that being said, It is fairly feasible to start minimalizing one thing that we all have around; our handbags, because they might get really heavy, messy, and might hurt our back.
Remove the endless lipsticks and blushers

It will serve as your retouch whenever you want to add some color. The same can be said to the eyebrow products, just add in a very sleek minimal neutral eyeshadow palette with both dark hues and some neutral shimmer, to replace your eyeshadow powder, highlighter, and bronzer! Voila, you’ve got everything you need in almost two products.

For pens, just keep one that serves all.
