Must haves for your makeup bag

If your like me.  You want to have a makeup bag in your purse.  Are you troubled with what you should have in there and why?  I use to be  I now have a few things that are a must for travel or for just having in my purse for daily touch ups.


  1. Foundation:  use this to help you keep your skin tone even.  Just a little works great for me during the summer.  I use a little more in the winter.
  2. Face powder:  to help control the shiny moments in your life.  
  3. Eye Liner:  use to create a new look.  Define and enhance your eyes with this tool.  Woks great for a touch up..  When going out for that much needed night cap.
  4. Fluffy Brush:  Use this to apply your face powder.  Or to do touch ups through out your day. These are usually bigger brushes.  easier to cover the face.  
  5. Defining eyeshadow:  pick a neutral, brown shade.  Brush in the crease of the eye or under the bow bone to add depth.
  6. Mascara:  Who doesn't love the effect of mascara? My color choice is black.
  7. Lipstick/Lip gloss:  A great way to dress up your lips I all most always choose lip gloss.  
  8. Blush:  as someone who use to now wear it at all.  I completely now understand why some people love this stuff.  Works great for giving your face some added extra character.
  9. blush Brush:  one of the smaller face brushes works great for helping you define your cheeks.
  10. Eye shadow Brush:  This is a must have for applying shadow.  i much prefer it to the sponge applicators.
There you have it the 10 most important things i carry in my makeup bag.  I hope that some of you find this helpful in some way.  You can always add or subtract things.  Comment or subscribe.  Loves :)
