What Is In Your Make-Up Bag?
Comments
-
I don't tend to carry a make-up bag around as such. Just usually pop a lipgloss/lipstick in my bag, and perhaps some blusher.
I keep all my stuff in an Estee Lauder makeup artist collection case from a couple of years ago. You know the one which is £45 with a fragrance purchase. I think its going to take me another couple of years to finish what's in there.
My favourites at the mo are a Bourjois gloss, which I got free from a link on this forum (red with sparkly bits), an Estee Lauder lipstick (Sugar Honey or Bois de Rose), or a body shop lip gloss.
I'm into coloured eyeliners at the minute, so usually green, gold, or turquoise. Just for fun.0 -
In my make up bag (bright pink from Fresh) I carry around when I go out:-
Cornsilk powder
Fate Blusher - from 99p shop and its excellent
Jelly pong pong lipgloss - cherry surprise
Sleek bronzer - its actually a very dark powder shade 02
Collection 2000 eyebrow pencil in blonde
hand held mirror - prezzie from dd
Blusher brush - Lily Lolo
Tweezers - tweezerman
Oh and I have emergency supplies in the car, a lipgloss, mascara and some perfume and baby wipes:D
Now thats what I carry around what I actually use in the mornings is a different matter and it would be a very loooong post;)Thank you for this site MartinThe time for change has comeGood luck for the future0 -
Oh man, I don't even know where to start listing mine, I have a huge beauty traincase full to bursting and rotate what I use daily
(Um, what can I say, before finding this website I had impulse buy issues

I put a little makeup on before I go out but usually don't 'top up' with make up while I'm out, except perhaps lipbalm or lipgloss.
Right now I've got in my handbag...
Rimmel jellytints lipbalm in 'passion' - I found I can also use this as a blush in a pinch!
BS concealer 'ivory'
Opia (Primark) green eyeliner
I'm a makeup novice though I confess I like to buy and experiment with it (weaning myself off the buying part!) - I have a washbag full and one of the funnest rainy weekend activities is to let my 4 teenagers lose with my makeup and my face to practice.No buying unnecessary toiletries 2014. Epiphany on 4/4/14 - went into shop to buy 2 items, walked out with 17!0 -
I have a fairly large selection of make-up (The top of my chest of drawers is called 'girls world' by my boyfriend) but never really touch up during the day except lipstick. But if I am staying out overnight I usually take...
Foundation: hardly ever wear it so none.
Powder: No7 Translucent
Mascara: Rimmel sexy curves
Eye shadow: Normally one of my many Sleek palletes or BarryM dazzle dusts
Lip Gloss: I don't wear lipgloss as a rule as I don't like the texture but occasionally maybelline water shine
Lipstick: no 7 moisture drench, various shades or a burts bees lip shimmer
Eye shadow primer: ELF Mineral
Concealer: Collection 2000 lasting perfection and touche eclat too
Blusher: Never wear it, I like my own natural blush :-)
Eyeliner: Usually a coloured liquid from Collection 2000/Stargazer/Urban Decay in greens/purple/blue/gold etc and kohl from the above or BarryM.
Eyebrows - Light brown kohl from No7 I got free ages ago but it works well to darken my very blonde eyebrows now I have dark red hair.
Various eyeshadow brushes/kabuki, small mirror and probably a nail file.0 -

I tend to put my make up on in the morning, but don't top up through the day, I just use blusher/bronzer, mascara and lipstick for everyday wear. But in my make up bag I carry:
various lipcolours, mascara, lip balm and small emery boards. My make up bag is too small to accomodate a blusher brush
I've got loads of eye colours, foundation, concealers, mascara, and lippys all on the shelf in the bedroom. I slap it all on if I'm going out of an evening
I get paid to smell great :j0 -
I really need to update my make up bag but here goes:
Foundation - Lily Lolo (mineral foundation)
Powder - Lily Lolo finishing powder (silk)
Mascara - Maybelline Define-a-Lash
Blusher - Lily Lolo (sweet cheeks - discontinued argh!!)
Lipgloss - varies from Avon to Rimmel etc
Nina by Nina Ricci perfume
Nail file0 -
I dont really wear make up all that much, but I have a gold Avon make-up bag (Xmas pressie from best mate) that is full to bursting!
Foundation: Virgin Vie Correct and Perfect - this was expensive but its fantastic - I get a lot of red patches on my face and it tones it down brilliantly.
Also Helen E Cream and Concealer Duo - this is the only foundation I have found that suits my colouring and sensitive skin.
Eyeshadow - x2, Boots No 17 silver glitter eyeshadow
Eyeliner - Silver Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil (also from Helen E, I got it in a goodie bag with the foundation and its is fantastic - I adore it) also a random gold coloured one from Opia (Primark) but thats not as good.
Mascara - Rimmel Volume Air Whipped or something like that, also a cheap Miss Sporty Waterproof one. The Rimmel one is fab, I bought it in Bournemouth in an emergency as my other one had run out, and I love it
Blusher (dont really wear it but I like this) Helen E Pressed Powder Compact
Lipsticks - erm... theres an Avon one with the gold bits in, Im sure theres a Helen E one as well...
Lip glosses - my fave Lancome Juicy Tubes in Fraise which i wear with Avon clear sparkly lip gloss on top, and Too Faced Mood Swing lip gloss which I also love!
Plus Avon sponge stack for my foundation, and bottle of Angel perfume. Phew
