    Great thread.

    Mine contains the following:

    Foundation: Revlon colour stay in ivory
    Mascara: maxfactor masterpeice
    Eye shadow: Loreal Star secrets green/gold eye shadow
    Lipstick: Clinique soft bloom long lasting

    x1 blusher brush

    Plus far too many spares of things and other products that do the same job that I need to use up.
  • Make up bag?

    I have a whole dressing table devoted to the stuff!


    ETA: And no, I don't look like a painted marionette, I go for the 'natural look'!

    Not a bag you take to work or out and about?
  • Ah. Chanel lipgloss. Perfume of choice in sampler (easy to get when you're already buying the full sized thing). Magnifying mirror. Hairbrush. Handkerchief.

    Erm, lots!

    But my regular everyday bag has:

    Avon mineral foundation
    No 7 illuminating powder
    Colourworks blusher
    Avon SpectraLash mascara
    Natural Collection clear mascara (for brows)
    elf concealer
    lip balm (assorted brands!)

    also have a different blusher and bronzer and keep an elf all over colour stick in my work bag, it's a great multi tasker!

    Don't wear loads of make up day to day, but I've still got quite a lot of stuff :o Most frequently used are:

    Foundation: Chanel Double Perfection Creme Poudre Creme Powder Makeup
    Tinted moisturiser (for when I don't want to wear foundation): Clinique Almost Makeup
    Powder: Don't use it
    Blusher: Clinique Blushwear Cream Stick
    Mascara: God, I've got hundreds and I have different ones for day and evening, but my main every day one is Lancome Hypnose.
    Concealer: YSL Touche Eclat
    Lips: Loads of different lipbalms, but Carmex is a fave. Tonnes of lipglosses and I love them all, but Chanel and Lancome are faves. Sometimes use Clinique Almost Lipstick.
    Eyes: Only normally do them at night. Eyeshadow = Usually Lancome. Eyeliner = Chanel or Rimmel.
    Perfume: Day = Marc Jacobs Splash, Night = Chanel Chance (love Coco Mademoiselle, but it makes my head hurt :()

    All in all...mainly Lancome and Chanel then! I've tried a lot of products from both brands and I don't think I've ever had a bad product.

    It depends what I am doing, where I am going, and it changes from week to week!

    This week I seem to have added...
    Bobbi Brown compact foundation in Porceline
    Mini mascara by Estee Lauder (free with a Marie Claire page)
    Eyeliner pencil-currently been given to me by Boots from their trials
    Concealer- the Garnier undereye roll on.
    I also have an atonomiser of Philosophy Pure Grace and lip balm by Eve Lom.

    Next week I'll no doubt chance the mascara (I wanna try the new Rimmel one or a new Clinique one and I have boots points burning a hole in my pocket!) I'll also add my Stila Convertible Colour and nail varnish (for any chips that appear in my current version).

    I should add that I don't own a makeup bag and all this stuff lives inside the bus pass holder of my bag :)

    This is the portable bag - like Jojo I have a vast collection at home.

    Just 3 lipsticks, a sample size mascara ( No7 Dreamlash - virtually unused), a brown eyeliner pencil and a bottle of perfume.

    Since I switched to mineral make up the foundation and eye make up stays put and I don't need to top up during the day.
