I've asked about makeup donations in the past when I donated clothing, but haven't found any organization that accepts it.

You could have sold it or donated it, but otherwise right there with you. I'm wearing minimal makeup now too.

I agree that skincare is more important now.

How old are you OP? I spend a much smaller amount there but it is almost all skincare focused rather than makeup. It seems to make a bigger different as I age.

Also, makeup just doesn’t look good on me, and never has. I’ve had it done professionally many times and I always look old, greasy and clownish.

Haha thank you! I’m not encouraging anyone else to do it, but I wasn’t using any of it and don’t enjoy it.

I just tossed two 74L garbage bags full of beauty stuff.

I’ve been a Sephora Rouge person for several years, which means I’ve spent at least a grand there each year, and I’ve barely used anything I’ve bought apart from shampoo/conditioner and some perfume. I almost never wear makeup and all my friends tell me I look better without it.

I threw out easily ten thousand dollars worth of crap that’s done nothing but clutter up my space and mental energy.

I kept my eyelash curler and a lipgloss.

I’m not stopping haircuts and skincare but everything else is in the garbage.
