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.

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.
