Makeup Essentials: What's in my makeup bag

     Every woman out there knows that there are times when you need to ooompph your look with a little touch of makeup during the day. When you're at school, at work or even when you go travel,the slightest shadow or lip color can seriously boost up your confidence level and make you feel prettier.

     Many of you may be experiencing problems as to what type of makeup should you bring with you daily that would not be too bulky or burdensome to carry wherever you may be. Well, now I am going to show you, what kinds of makeup I bring on the go.

1. Liquid Foundation/ Pressed Powder

     There are times during the day when you actually feel the need to freshen up your look but do not have time to go and wash your entire face. Well one can never go wrong with a handy dandy compact powder, or you may up it a little by bringing your foundation (depends on the type of coverage you want).It instantly gives you a fresh looking face in no time!

I use: Maybelline Clear Smooth All in One Cake Powder (Nude Beige), Revlon Colorstay 24-hour liquid foundation (Sand Beige)


2. Eyeshadow Duo/ Eyebrow Powder

     I know, what could be better than 2-in-1 makeup right? Well I prefer eyebrow powders than pencil firstly because of the many uses I could have with it. I could actually use my eyebrow kit as a simple taupe-colored shadow or even a bronzer!Depending on your skintone and creativity, you can never go wrong with eyebrow powders. Plus it gives you that softer, more natural-looking brows ;)

I use: MAC Eyebrow Powder Duo in Redhead


3. 1 Nude Lipstick, 1 Vibrant-Colored Lipstick

     Either way you can only bring one of these, but as for me, I'm bringing both. Reason is that there are some days when some friends/ colleagues ask me to hang out out of the blue, and I don't want to regret not bringing the right kind of lipstick for the right occasion. But if I were to reaaallly chose, I would bring the Nude lipstick as it is more wearable and natural looking.

I use: In2It Colourshine Lipstick in Tea Rose, Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Gentlemen Prefer Pink


4. Lip Balm

      I don't need to explain this, lip balm is an ESSENTIAL even if your not really into makeup. Use it before applying lipstick or use it to just make your lips look and feel softer.

I use: Any Maybelline Babylips Line, Chapstick lip balms







5. Blush

     Of you already possess the God - given gift of having naturally pinkish cheeks, then no need for this, but girl, most of us don't. On some occasions I'm either too pale or too dark (I know weird right?) So I really need a nice amount and color of blush to balance my look. Just be sure that your color choice of blush is appropriate for daytime use. Peach or light pink colored blushes are highly recommended.

I use: Revlon Powder Blush with Brush in Oh Baby! Pink



5. Mascara

     This one is also optional especially if you have long, thick and dark lashes, but unluckily, I don't so I always have to bring a mascara with me to balance out my makeup look. It doesn't hurt to have a few coats of mascara over your lashes. Trust me it does make a huge difference :)

I use: NYX XXL Mascara (good) and MAC Zoom Fast Black Lash (BEST!!!)

I hope this post helped a lot of you out there pretty ladies.

All the best,
