Let's have a fun thread!

What's in your makeup bag ladies?

Which foundation do you use? And do you wear makeup everyday?

A lot of dust and broken bits of eyeliner pencil and other things that stain the carpet when the baby tips it out.

I'll go first- (don't judge, makeup and skincare is the only thing I really spend on! I am very stingy elsewhere)

I use two foundations- MAC studio fix and studio sculpt! My skin is true combination skin, so I have to mix the dry and oily skin ones.

I have L'oreal mascara, MAC kohl, MAC blush Bobby brown powder and Clinique concealer. And lip balm, I don't wear lipstick everyday.

I have horrible skin, so I wear it to work five days a week. I try and avoid it on the weekend unless I have some big event.

I have never owned a makeup bag! I have a tin of Vaseline in my handbag, an eyeliner in the bathroom cupboard that I won about 10 years ago.
Shoddy effort Sad

I'm a tomboy and have an allergy to some perfumes, so never got into the habit of wearing the full face.
I have about 5 different eyeliners including one liquid, waterproof and a khol, all black. Two mascara, waterproof, black.
Lip gloss, honey flavour.
Tweezers, comb, brush.
Er, thats it. Blush

Seriously, I have gay mates that wear more makeup than me.

I guess some primer, foundation, lip stick and mascara - no clue on brands

I don't wear it much

I don't wear make-up - ever - so I have no idea why I have so much of it Confused

Seriously - I can't wear lipstick because I chew and bite my lips constantly: so why do I end up buying it in Boots? I've reined it in a lot - but why, MNetters, why?!

Interesting!!

I forgot to add I keep eyelash curlers and a Bobbi brown highlighter and Bobbi brown eyeshadow palette (from 3 years ago). And Bobbi brown bronzer. Did I mention I like Bobbi brown?

I also have some assorted real techniques and MAC brushes in there.

I normally wear at least a little every day.
At home, tinted moisturiser by Loreal, clear mascara no 17 I think and Vaseline lip balm.
Going out daytime, max factor powder foundation compact, max factor cream coloured eyeshadow, grey bourgeois kohl eyeliner, max factor black waterproof mascara, Primark eyebrow pencil in soft brown, nude lipstick by Maybelline I think.
Going out evening, max factor foundation, loose powder, Chanel eyeshadow palette using a shimmery pinkish tone with grey and a shimmery dark grey, benefit black liquid eyeliner, same eyebrow pencil, a great black waterproof mascara (can't remember by whom), Chanel lipstick, lipstick lock.

That sounds a lot!!! It really isn't, my makeup bag is actually quite small.

I wear it every day (even if I'm not leaving the house). I just think I look awful without it!
I don't wear foundation, ever, just concealer under eyes and powder. Eyes are my thing. I wear eyeliner and mascara daily, eyeshadow too for nights out. Bronzer as a blusher daily but rarely lipstick or gloss, just balm.
I love make up and enjoy the ritual of sitting with a cuppa and putting it on in the morning.

I have about 8 different eyeliners on my make up bag!

I didn't wear makeup for the longest time! But my skin has always been bad- very oily nose, dry and flakey elsewhere, acne, pigmentation. Makeup did loads for my confidence.

OP, it's not because I have nice skin that I don't wear make-up, btw - I'd just rather have an extra ten minutes in bed Grin Luckily, I don't have a corporate job, so I also don't have to wear suits and heels. Or nail varnish. I think I am just not accomplished enough to understand make up - which is weird, because I am shit hot when it comes to skincare Hmm

Oh and Bourjois bronzer for the 2 weeks of the year that I have a vaguely tanned appearance

On a normal day just for the office, foundation (currently using a chanel but when that finishes it be bourjois cc cream for the day). Rimmel concealer. When I really need, vichy derma blend. No 7 pressed powder. I llamas qua blush in ambition. Combo of eyeshadow and liner and lippy. But it changes all the time - I do many different looks each week just so I don't get bored!
