You just got an invitation to an exclusive after-work event. Only problem: It's tonight and you left your makeup bag at home.

Some days, you just don't feel like schlepping your entire beauty arsenal around with you. And the good news is, you don't have to.

An informal office polls among our beauty editors revealed that the majority of us uses about 10 makeup products regularly. On our laziest days, we use about six, while a night out requires 15 to 20.

It got us wondering if we could achieve the same finished look with fewer products. So we turned to three of our favorite beauty bloggers to see if they were down for a challenge. Our ask: Come up with a gorgeous makeup look using just three products in their makeup bag. Skip ahead to see how these three bloggers multitasked the hell out of their eye shadow to create these genius three-product looks.

Creating the Color
"First, I mixed a combination of the yellow, coral, a hint of blue, brown and white colors in the palette to custom-make the concealer, foundation shade and eye primer. Then, I made sure to set any cream products with powder to prevent creasing."

Seeing Colors
"I used a combination of the brown and coral shades for my lid color. Then, I put brown in the crease and black and brown underneath the eye. I also used the black from the palette as mascara."
