What's in your makeup bag?

Hi! How can you have makeup without a makeup bag? LOL... I cannot leave the house without makeup on because I just feel naked without it. I usually put on shisheido powder, eyebrow liner and black eyeliner, and also chapstick for wind protection lol. I always carry my makeup bag everywhere I go because I am very self conscious and feel ugly around people when I have nothing on. Do you always take your makeup bag everywhere? This Christmas that is probably what I will give my sister since she is needing a new cosmetic kit. Costco might be the best place to buy one :).

I am a starter make up artist and have spent a small fortune filling my make up kit and the only brand I buy is Make Up Forever. The palate is good, it only takes a little, it is not harsh on the skin, and you will look flawless. Flawless. Check it out ladies...

It was started in Paris for drag queens and now it is huge! LVMH (the company who owns Luise Vuitton, Gucci, ect.) owns them and Make Up Forever is used on almost any show or movie you see.

Oh, I can imagine that getting started in that industry costs a lot of money indeed! But at the same time, it sounds kind of fun too! Good luck with your new career! (and oh, I will check Make Up Forever out too, thanks for the tip!)

I just put my makeup on in the morning, and then I do not really re-do it anymore. So I am not one of those people who carry their makeup around with them. The stuff I use in my makeup bag are basically: - a light foundation - a black mascara, currently I am using one by Maybelline, but I love Lancome mascaras too! - sometimes some lip gloss, but at the moment Smith's Rosebud Salve is the stuff I use most on my lips. So as you can see, I go for a rather natural look.

I'm not a makeup kind of girl but I enjoy putting make up on my face everyday especially if there's a special occassion. The problem is I'm so lazy to retouch like every hour especially when my face gets sticky and when it gets hot, my face gets sweaty. My make up bag consists of a liquid foundation (I like liquid foundation as it looks more natural and nobody even knows its there, they always praise me that I have silky smooth skin and good skin tone but they don't know it's in foundation. LOL), powder so I won't get oily and look sweaty, and cheek & lip tint (it's a two in one blush and lip color so it's convenient). On some days, I'm in the mood to apply black eyeliner.

I don't really wear make up only on special occasions. I usually just put on some UV protection when I remember.

No, I don't carry it. I put my make up before leaving the house. If I don't have time I do make up while riding the car and left the make ups there but when the temperature is hot I just carry me lipstick so it will not melt on the car.

Hehhehe, I see. You must be from the phils? Whenever I go there for vacation visiting some relatives I hardly put any makeup on. When I do, my pores get clogged and my skin starts to breakout which isn't pretty I'm telling ya. Sun protection is the only thing I probably put on my face when I'm over there and some chapstick.
