I just did the largest beauty purge… ever. It was half a result of the Marie Kondo–style closet clean-out I did last weekend, and half a very necessary step towards mental stability as my product-crowded room threatened to either suffocate me or send me into a makeup-inspired spiral. Though I no longer needed the full-coverage foundations and powders that I relied on during a chilly events season (why do all the galas and award shows happen in the winter?), I couldn’t bring myself to get rid of them just because the weather was warming. Instead, I stored my winter beauty essentials away with my fur coats and gloves, bidding adieu until next winter and making space for the new.
It turns out that I wasn’t the only one in spring cleaning mode these past few weeks—my fellow editors have also been overhauling their beauty stashes in favor of lighter, simpler, and more sun-effective products. Below are all of the beauty products we left behind in winter and the swaps we made for the sunny days ahead.
