Lipstick League Question of the Week
Imagine there is some calamity and all makeup production ceases. You only have what is left in your stash. What kind of makeup will you run out of first and what kind of makeup will you run out of last?
G's answer: First, I would run out of eyebrow pencil (I really should have multiple back-ups in case of a zombie apocalypse) and also concealer. The thing I would never run out of, even after 100 zombie apocalypses? Nail polish.

I would probably run out of foundation first. I don't have a huge stash of that currently. I'm with you G, I would never run out of nail polish. In fact, during the zombie apocalypse I would still be able to paint my nails twice a week with different colors and still not repeat any color for several years!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nightmare! I would run out of foundation first because I'm really good at having only 2-3 foundations in my collection at any given time. And I have a lifetime supply of blush.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd run out of mascara first; since it goes bad, I don't keep much of it around. Concealer would be next to the mascara or possibly before it--I can't find one I like and I'm all thumbs at using it, so I tend not to bother. But I'd *never* run out of lipstick, lip gloss, lip balm, lip crayons, or blush.
ReplyDeleteI'd run out of mascara first, and foundation would be a close second. I only keep one container of those around at a time.
ReplyDeleteThe longest lasting would probably be blush, but only because I rarely wear it.
I have so much enough eyeshadow and eyeliner, in so many colors, that I could do elaborate eye looks... for every season... until the apocalypse is over. Also, I don't think I will ever finish my Coty Airspun powder. I didn't even buy a back-up.
ReplyDeleteBut on the other hand, I would be out of mascara in less than half a year, so my eye looks would be terrible. And I would also be out of concealer! I think since I'm pickiest about mascara and concealer, I own the least of those two groups and therefore have the least.
Probably foundation first--I use it everyday but I try not to stockpile in case my skin changes (in color, texture, oil production, becomes irritable, etc.) and bc foundation does expire within a couple of years. Nailpolish for me too--there's no way I could ever use up what I have.
ReplyDeleteFirst, I'd run out of mascara, then foundation, even the colors that don't really work. I'll never run out of nail polish though.
ReplyDeleteMascara first (make mental note to scavenge for mascara ASAP, lol), I would definitely have enough eyeshadow to last for the next ten years.
ReplyDeleteWell thank goodness you didn't include skincare and body lotions and shower gels!!
ReplyDeleteI would run out of mascara first, then most likely foundation.
Things I would never ever run out of.. eyeshadows, liners and nail polish and pretty much everything else makeup wise ;)
Foundation, because the one I have been using for several years was discontinued and I haven't found a replacement yet (need to get on that). I have enough blush, shadows and polish to last me and a couple friends through the apocalypse.
ReplyDeleteI would run out of my Color Tattoos first because they are my go-to eyecolors. Also my BE eye & face primers would not last. I would have nail enamel until the end of time.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely foundation. I only use Milani's Cream-to-Powder, and one compact equals approximately 30 applications. Every time I have CVS Extra Bucks of 5.00 or more, I buy another one. So I always have one new one in reserve. But once that was gone - I'd be in trouble!
ReplyDeleteEyeshadow? With all the palettes I have, I think I could do a different look every day and not repeat for several hundred years - let alone actually run out of eyeshadow completely!
I would defintely run out of mascara first, then black eyeliner! I would never finish my eyeshadow or blush. This is after I just cleaned out my stash and tried to give away products to girlfriends this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI think I would run out of foundation and mascara first...but eyeshadow and lipstick/gloss/balm would definately get me through! Lol well and nail polish too ;)
ReplyDeleteI'd run out of eyebrow pencil first, too. Then mascara, if I adhered to the toss-after-three-months rule anyways. Considering I just bought three more Sinful Colors nail polishes, I'd say I'll have really nice nails until civilization rebuilds itself.
ReplyDeleteI'd run out of mascara, but would NEVER run out of eyeshadow.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably run out of concealer first, since I only keep one on hand until I'm running low, then pick up a backup. Next, possibly bronzer but I don't use it all that often so it might last longer than I think. My mascara stash is small and I use it every day, so that wouldn't last.
ReplyDeleteMy eyeshadow stash would probably last quite a while... and I couldn't go through all my nail polish in three lifetimes of zombie apocalypses. Unless of course I used the bottles to make mini molotov cocktails in desperation for weapons.
