Let's have a fun thread!

What's in your makeup bag ladies?

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

Many makeup revolution palettes at the moment as I'm slightly addicted to them.
Rimmell ghost white foundation
Rimmell mascara (freebie for review from ocado)
Rimmell mechanical eyeliner
MUA nude lipstick
Translucent powder from wilko which turned out to be brilliant and I need to buy another.
Urban decay gash eyeshadow that I use as a blusher.

I'm pretty simple, the only big brands i tended to buy was urban decay and now that's not stocked in boots and I'm not tempted by seeing it waving to me I don't buy it.

It's a shrine to Avon. The only non Avon I have is Clarins foundation --but that is becoming stupidly expensive, I'm waiting for new Avon foundation as a possible replacement and £20 and Boots No7 concealer because it is as heavy as stage makeup. Other than that it's all glimmerstick eyeliner, super shock mascara and lipstick in various shades of pink and coral. My favourite lipstick is an Avon one called Stolen Kisses.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who wears makeup everyday to work! I would love those extra 10 mins in bed too, but then I'd have to leave the house with a shiny nose and strange skin haha

I wear makeup every day I go out. So 3 makeup free days a week. I don't wear it to the shops, etc.
I have 4 makeup bags Blush but this stuff is what I usually use:
Bare minerals foundation. I don't like the oily foundation feeling for everyday wear so use mineral foundation instead.
NARS foundation for special occasions.
Also bare minerals bronzer, highlighter, and finisher.
Urban decay naked palette.
Smashbox eyeliner.
Lancôme mascara. & revlon & max factor.
But I don't wear lipgloss/stick just lip balm.

So is this a make up bag that you carry around with you, or the stash in the drawer at home?

In my every day carry out in my handbag, make up bag:
Burt's Bees lip balm
Mirror
NARS lip stick
Chanel lip stick
Revlon lip butter
Hand cream
MAC powder compact

In my drawer at home, far too many things to list Blush I have at least 3 foundations, mascaras and gel eyeliners, numerous eye shadow palettes (even though I rarely use eyeshadow), eyelash curlers and various brushes. I only started playing with make up in the last few years, what a joy it's been for me to discover gel liners and tightlining!

forty I really like it, great coverage and doesn't feel mask like like my Estée Lauder DW did.

Easily blendable and a little goes a long way! Plus it's a bargain! Grin

passmethewineplease So many other liquid concealers are runny, or greasy- it's got a great formula and lasts a decent amount of time. And it's a bargain!

Me: very very pale skin with pink undertones and dry.

Smashbox pore minimising photo primer
Bourjois med coverage foundation, palest shade (still not quite right)
Concealers: L'Oreal True Match brush on & the True Match crayon (palest shade), Seventeen under eye Heavy concealer (forget name, brush on in small pot).
Blusher: Mac Love Rocks (a cold pink & gold) and Bourjois no.34 warmer pink & gold
Illuminizer: Stila Illuminating Powder Trio (subtle) and L'Oreal illuminating powder (less subtle). Also lusting after Nars Multiple in Luxor or Copacabana.

Vaseline for lips
Lip liner: a pink L'Oreal pencil one
Lipstick: hardly there one by Natural Collection or others by similar brands to above.

Eyeliner: Stila Convertible Colour, or for evenings out any pen style eyeliner.
Eyebrow pencil: Stila Convertible Colour
Eyeshadow: Stila Rocker trio, for evenings out only.
Mascara: I don't have a favourite yet.

Brushes are by mostly Sephora though I'm still lusting after the Hourglass ones and the Smashbox 3-in-1, for the novelty!

I have horrible skin! Not spotty or anything like that just quote uneven and I hate it, I never leave the house without make up. I also Instagram different looks I come up with and mini reviews on products I'm using.

I try and mix up my routine a little bit at the moment I'm using...

MAC Studio Fix foundation
Collection setting powder, concealer and eyeliner
Urban Decay perversion mascara, setting spray and eyeshadow (ATM I've been mixing the smoky palette and vice 4 palette but I own quite a few)
MUA highlighter
Max Factor blush/Collection bronze glow mosaic

Lipstick is something I almost always wear. I absolute love Kate Moss for Rimmel lipsticks, I wear shades 107 and 30 a lot. I also love Urban Decay bad blood, Loreal true reds in Blake and Make Up Revolution in Liberty. Basically anything red, purple or plum Grin
