Makeup Bag Essentials
But what, exactly, should we have in our makeup bag? How much is too much, and what might not be enough?
If you find yourself carting around a separate box or large bag for your makeup, chances are you are carrying too much! Things like sponges and large brushes are useful at home, but less likely to be used for a quick touch up. You also don't need fifty shades of eye shadow and lipstick in your makeup bag, as you will probably just stick to whatever you have chosen to wear in the morning. Even though some women change their makeup from day to evening, it still isn't necessary to lug around a complete arsenal of makeup to keep yourself looking good. You can carry a lipstick or lip gloss that is a slightly darker shade for nighttime, and a concealer and eyeliner for fast touch ups should be enough. What are the essentials? A compact with loose powder, an under eye concealer, a high quality lip stick or gloss, and a gel blush are your best choices. Mascara really shouldn't be reapplied over existing mascara, so you do not need it in your bag. It is best to keep in mind that you are only enhancing the makeup you are already wearing and that a light touch works best. With these minimal essentials, you will have everything you need to look fresh throughout the day, and also carry a much lighter load! It is also a good idea to check the items you keep in your cosmetic bag periodically, as they will age and wear out over time and should be kept fresh and new-which is the last thing you want when you want to freshen up!
