What is in my make up bag

What's in my make up bag!

I always like to keep a makeup bag at the ready with a few of, what I call essential items. These essential items are the makeup products that I use regularly, almost every day. All of these items I find to be excellent. They last all day, are gentle and do not cause dryness or breakouts. So let us delve in!!

My makeup bag is by Ted Baker. I received this bag as a gift from my sister and I simply adore it. The material it is synthetic, almost with a plastic finish and is satin lined with a zip to close. It is a very pale pink in colour with a large grey bow and rose gold detail and the Ted Baker signature detail on the front. It is big enough to hold all I need yet still the perfect size to fit in my bag.

Now to have a look inside:

Foundation -Nars Sheer Glow
Foundation in the shade Deauville (light4) 
After a very long and often disappointing search for the perfect foundation which could be worn day to night, provided medium coverage I could build upon, provided a good shade match to my skin tone and did not cause breakouts or dry my skin I found this foundation. In short I love it! It fulfils all my present foundation needs and I am really enjoying using. A nice little result of using it also is that a number of people have commented on how nice it looks which is always a nice experience. I can't see myself changing foundations anytime soon. 

Concealer - 1) Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection in shade Light 2. 
A cheap and effective concealer that is quick to use, provides excellent coverage and is a great universal shade. 

2) Undercover Pot Camouflage in Shade 3
This is a great little addition to a makeup bag. It contains two shades of concealer which is perfect for day and night looks. It also contains a little pot of finishing powder which sets your makeup really well. 

Highlighter - Touché Éclat by YSL
I love this product as it really does add’s to a radiant under eye look. A little worked in to the under eye area lifts the face. 

Bronzer - NARS Laguna Bronzer
A bronzer with the perfect shade for me. Day wear needs just a swipe and for night time or more tanned days this can built upon. Perfect for contouring also. 

Blusher- MAC Mineralize Blush in Dainty
I love this blush. It is a perfect pink shade with a touch of coral and a little gold sparkle. It blends really well and can be built upon for more intense shades. Great for spring/summer. 

Eye shadow - MAC Pallet containing
*Omega 
*Embark 
*Espresso 
* Wedge 
I love this pallet- I put the colours together to have a nude range of colours which were matt, could be used as a day look or could be built upon for a darker night look. I also love this pallet as it contains perfect shades for eyebrows meaning it has many uses. 

Eyebrows - Mac Deep brunette Eyebrow pencil.
This is a really good product which provides excellent colour and has a little brush at the top to ensuring your eyebrows are tidy. 
I also use MAC Brow Set for my eyebrows. It just gives the finished look. 

Mascara - They're Real by Benefit.
This mascara gives the perfect wide eye look. It is jet black, provides lots of volume and has staying power. I love mascara so this is perfect for me. 

Lips - Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector in Shade 01 Rose. 
This product gives the lips a lovely swipe of colour. The rose shade is delicate and light. It conditions your lips leaving them really soft. 

Finishing - Rimmel Stay Matt Powder. A light Translucent Powder that adds a nice touch to any makeup look. Removes shining and leaves a flawless complexion

These are the products that are in my make up bag. I use each of these products on most days. I tried to have a natural makeup look during the day and these products help me to achieve this.
