It’s how you feel about it that matters. Do you use all of these? I got rid of tools and have a simple look- no shadow. Maybe also consider how much time you spend doing your makeup.

You do you! I am a minimalist and there are my #1 favorite products that I love and use everyday or almost everyday. It is NOT the number of items. Keep what you love and toss the rest. I literally do this with my clothes and books and most items in my home. For example clothes- I ask myself what is my favorite item in this pile? What is my second favorite? Then when I get to a good stopping place, I purge the rest. My closet only holds so much. Your makeup bag or drawer has a limit of what it can hold. Use that as a guideline if it helps you. Good luck!

Came in here to say what’s already been said. Do you enjoy and use all of those products? By all means, have double that if you feel you need and enjoy it.

I agree with the others, if you use it, then it's minimalistic. I personally only have foundation, mascara, and lip gloss. What you have wouldn't be minimalistic for me just because I wouldn't use it. Now hair products...some may think I go over the top, but I use them all and love them.

I love how positive the comments are and wanted to say the same. I have a similar sized batch of make up. But I use it all and my make up routine I takes about 2 minutes… so I’m good with it.

Do you honestly use your product? Minimalism makeup doesn’t mean you are only allowed to own 5 products. It means you don’t own more that you realistically use / have a need for. For example not owning a drawer full of eyeshadow products where most of them are all the same.
