I decided to do a post on what I have in my makeup bag, and combine it with an updated post of what I use in my daily makeup routine since what's in my makeup bag is basically what I use everyday, and because I've gotten some new products since my last post. Most of the products in this post are mentioned in previous posts, so at the end of the post, I will link all of the previous posts that may have mentioned these products, as well as my previous daily makeup routine post! So, here we go!
Yes, this looks like even more than before, however, it still does not take me long to do all of this, I promise. (Ignore the MAC lipstick, I had that on today and did not take it out of my makeup bag. Look forward to a MAC lipstick collection post soon!)
The products on the left are the ones that I do not carry with me all of the time, but I use everyday. The ones in the pile are what is in my makeup bag currently. (I literally just dumped it out)
Y'all all know how much I love this stuff. I use it everyday before I put on my makeup. It is a makeup primer to help control the shine that accumulates after a day long of wearing makeup. It is by Bare Minerals, and I have posted about this previously. You can find the link at the bottom of this post. This comes highly highly recommended from me.
Lips are very important to me, as you can see. These are all of the lip products I carry with me on a daily basis, but it is not half of what I have. I have the EOS lip balm, Vaseline Lip Therapy, and lipglosses by Sephora, NYX, Bare Minerals, and Wet N Wild. On days I don't have on lipstick, I have on one of these for sure. I always have some sort of gloss on if I don't have lipstick. I use the EOS and Lip Therapy frequently to avoid my lips getting chapped.
These are the compacts I carry with me. The one on the left is translucent powder from Bare Minerals, which gives your makeup a matte finished look, while helping protect your makeup from sweat and water, and all that stuff. The one on the right is just a regular compact mirror from Victoria's Secret.
These are all of the concealers I use. The first one is from NARS; shade Cacao Dark 2, which is a little too dark for me and I realized too late I got the wrong one, so I just have to blend it a lot with lighter shades, and the other two are from Mary Kay, shades Bronze 1, and Bronze 2, which I mix together in that little container to get the perfect shade. The concealer brush is from Bare Minerals. Make sure to always blend your concealer with a brush and not your fingers. Brushes apply it better and keep bacteria and dirt from spreading on your face.
These are the products I use for my eyes. I have the Bare Minerals Well-Rested under eye illuminator and face brightener. I. LOVE. THIS. STUFF. It works wonders! It eliminates the dark and puffiness under your eyes, and brightens them so well! It makes a big difference, trust me. I have the Rimmel by London Extra Wow Lash mascara which I like a lot. I have two eyeliners, Maybelline's Define a Lash Ebony eyeliner, and a Lancome eye pencil which I mostly use for filling in my eyebrows on occasion. I also have the sharpener for the Lancome pencil.
The eyeshadow palette is from Sephora. It's the Moonshadow Baked Palette: In the Dark. One of my best friends got this and the Urban Decay eye primer for me for Christmas our winter break of our freshman year of college, which was almost three years ago and I still have them both! The primer is amazing. It is gold and can even be worn by itself. As you can see, I've abused this palette. I have like 3 other huge eye palettes but I guess I use this one most because I has a lot of the colors I use daily. Not that the others don't, but because it's so small, it's easier to use quickly. The eyeshadow brush is from Elf. I don't carry these everyday, but I do use them everyday.
This bronzer is by Nicole Miller, and I get compliments on it a lot when I wear it. It looks really pretty on, and it stays on practically all day. The powder from Smashbox can be used as a bronzer, highligher or even eyeshadow. It is the From Dusk Til Dawn powder. The highlighter is by Benefit from Sephora. I use the Benefit highlighter on my browbone and sometimes my cheekbone. I don't carry the Nicole Miller bronzer with me, but I use it everyday which you can probably tell.
These are the kind of random but essential items in my bag that didn't really have a category to go in. I have MAC brush that I use to apply my bronzer. Tweezers because you never know when you're going to need them, an eyebrow brush to make sure all hairs are going in the same direction and Viva La Juicy travel perfume and lipgloss.
I know all of this looks like a lot, but it takes me 10-15 minutes to do all of this. I realize that for some people that is too long, but I just have come to the point where I work it in my getting ready routine so that it isn't too much to me. It's not heavy makeup because I like lightweight makeup to get the daily look I want. Some days I may not wear every single product, but at the very least I have on concealer and lipgloss.
Here are the links to the posts that many of these products are mentioned in:
Thank you guys for reading! I hope you enjoyed!
Until next time!
