What in your makeup bag couldn't you live without?

[FabMum1]

I'm on a mission to finally get my 'perfect makeup bag' or in my case 'box'.

I want the dewy, perfectly concealed skin. Glowing cheeks. Super long lashes. Perfect cat eyeliner and a natural pink pout.

What do you use that you absolutely adore and buy time and time again?

[Alpacacino]

Bare Minerals powder. Brilliant.

[shopafrolic]

Will watch this with interest.
Repeat buys are Chanel Vitalumiere powder compact foundation, Lancôme Hypnose mascara or YSL false effect mascara, YSL liquid eyeliner. Other than that I tart around make up departments like nobodies business!

[Tex111]

Bare Minerals foundation powder. Bobbi Brown cream blush. Maybelline Great Lash mascara. Cherry Chapstick. ??

[ThatBloodyWoman]

Nothing.

Except my tube of nivea soft.

Better than sex- mascara

[SilkStalkings]

Max Factor Masterpiece cream-to-powder eyeshadow - will have to learn to live without it though as I have pledged to go cruelty-free this year

[DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen]

Bare minerals bisque concealer.

[taratamara]

soap & glory marvellips

[plentyofsoap]

Any of it.

[frankietwospots]

My Real Techniques stippling brush for applying foundation. Best long lasting finish I've ever had.

Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Skin Protectant Cream for my lips. Tastes like fly spray but I love it.

[SecretSquirrel13]

Like plenty of soap I would say any if it ! But absolute essential would be mascara. I have blonde eyelashes and eyebrows and look hideous in my natural state!

[Chewbecca]

YSL false effect mascara

[chickydoo]

Nars concealer.

[almondblossom]

Pretty much everything.

BBrown foundation & concealer
Lancome mascara
BBrown cement eyeshadow
Rimmel blusher or Kate Moss for Rimmel lippie to double as cream blusher

[Twinklestein]

Dior Diorskin Nude foundation, Dior Skinflash Radiance booster pen, Dior Extase mascara, Clarins Instant Light Complexion Perfector, Nars Sex Appeal Blush, YSL Lip gloss 'Golden Peony'.

[nicelyneurotic]

I could find an alternative to everything to be honest. But I do like my MAC primer and Benefit eye concealer.

Rimmel did a great concealer with a green core for blemishes, recently discontinued. Haven't found anything as good yet. Cheapest thing in my makeup bag too!

[Bluebell79]

Bare minerals foundation. Collection 2000 lasting concealer. 8 hr cream

[bloomingheather]

Laura Mercier Moisture Supreme foundation, NARS Orgasm blusher and MAC eyeshadow in Wedge - I thought that it was a bit darker than I was looking for initially but it's perfect on it's own during the day and as a base for 'a more dramatic eye' (as a beauty journo might not say). I also love By Terry Terrybly Mascara in Dark Forest (a dark green) - it apparently has a growth booster in it and I definitely see a difference in my eye lashes when I use it regularly. It's a bit too pricey to buy regularly though.

[Chloerose75]

NARS sheer glow foundation! It is the best if you want a natural glowy look.

[CockBollocks]

Chanel foundation
Guarlain mascara in violet (recent find, amazing)
Hd brows powder palate

[justasecond]

YSL Touche eclat - been using since 1998.. although I am tempted to try the by Terry version when my current stockpile runs out.

[schmalex]

Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser. People always compliment me on my glowy skin when I wear it (even with a 12 day old baby and not a lot of sleep!)
Apart from that I tart around.
