The only things i carry in my handbag for touchups etc is my lipstick of choice for the day a solid perfume and a travel sized can of deo and a hairbrush, light compact and to the point. My foundation, mascara, eyeliner and eyeshadow last the working day without needing touchups constantly.Consolidated and under control 42 payments to go.:cool::(:o;):mad::p:(:o;):mad::p:(:o;):mad::p:(:o;):mad::p:(:o;):mad::p:(:o;):mad::p:(:o;):mad::p:(:o;):mad::p:([STRIKE]£7028.50[/STRIKE]£5990.43Aim: 35 and Debtfree0

I have eczema too but I can use foundation as long as its fragrance free, can't you use any foundation on your face or tinted moisturiser?
Unfortunately not, I have incredibly dry skin as well as the eczema and putting anything on top of it just dries it out further and makes it itchy. Spent several ill-fated attempts when a teenager learning that the hard way!0 -
I very very rarely wear make-up so I have half a small pink quilted make-up bag from Primark that has everything in it I need, which is:
Avon Calming Effects Skin Revival Foundation in Ivory (used very sparingly on special occasions only as I have never managed to find another foundation that suits me like this one - they stopped doing it, tried another one from there but even the palest was too dark for me and I ended up looking like I'd been Tango'ed
)
Avon Ideal Shade Pressed Powder in Fair
Medium sized blusher brush
Boots 17 glitter eyeshadow in Style Queen
Maybelline Volum' Express Mascara
Avon Super Shock Mascara in Black
Avon Spectra Lash Mascara in Black
2x Avon Glazewear lip glosses (one pink, one clear)
BeneFit lipstick in Skinny Dip (this was bought for me when I had blonde hair and now looks daft on me because I'm a redhead. But I refuse to get shot of it as my Mum paid £12 for it :eek:)
Avon Color Trend read my dazzling lips lip gloss in Diamond Dust
And thats it! I dont like buying make up, I will only buy it (and wear it) when absolutely necessary and the best part of wearing it is taking it off again!! I have good skin so dont need to wear it so only keep the absolute bare minimum of stuff. In fact I told my mate yesterday I had some on and she was shocked

boots natural collection waterproof mascara
sfumato eye shadow pencil
another eye shadow pencil in brown which I don't use any more
clinique cityblock
concealer
a couple of lip balms
and an OLD clinique foundation which I really ought to throw..
It's looking a bit minimal compared to the others' make-up bags :rotfl:
I used to have a load of make-up and blushers, etc but have got out of the habit of wearing it now.0 -

I don't carry any makeup around in my bag, just a Burts Bees lipsalve and a couple of Mac lipsticks.
In my main makeup bag at home, gosh I have far too much stuff, I would be embarrassed if I listed it all.
I do love makeup and putting it on is my favourite part of the morning before going to work/going out.I :heart2: saving money0 -
My absolute must haves are:-
Estee lauder double wear foundation & mascara
Benefit benetint
Love these!0 -
I have a ridiculous amount of makeup! But this is what I actually use on a regular basis, in my main makeup bag:
Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream (No. 13)
Sleek eyeshadow palettes (Storm & Au Naturel)
ELF brushes
NYC eyebrow pencil (Taupe)
Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Tint (Nothing But Nude)
Avon SuperShock Mascara (Black)
Cargo lip pencil (Mooch)
Cargo lip gloss (Mimi)
Palmers Lip Butter (Dark Chocolate & Mint)
I don't actually carry this around with me though - only take a lip gloss/tint and sometimes an eyeshadow palette (mostly for the mirror) when I'm out.
I have 5+ other foundations I sometimes use, at least 5 mascaras that I don't like half as much, lots of lip gloss/balm/etc that doesn't particularly suit me, a few pencil eyeliners which I rarely wear now, a huge amount of eyeshadows, liquid eyeliners that I've never even opened, etc...need a clearout, I think!Kate.0 -
