Do you have a separate make up set for morning and touch-ups?

I am rubbish at making an effort with makeup. I often don't leave time to apply it in the morning, or if I do, it's disappeared an hour or so.

I have one set of makeup, in my makeup bag which is usually found towards the bottom of my handbag. I think if I had a set in the bathroom too, I might be more likely to actually slap some on in the morning while I get ready. But this would mean buying a while new set which seems a bit extravagant.

How do other people do this- do you have two separate sets?

Sorry for the very dull question!!!

I have loads of make up ( wierd as I also rarely wear, but am getting better), so yes have two sets, look out for those offers where you get a little bag with a mini mascara and lippie as those are good for handbags. No 7 often does them. And I have quite a lot of magazine freebies.

Most of my makeup is kept in the bathroom. I'm currently using lily lolo mineral makeup which doesn't need touching up and then just keep lipgloss in my handbag. Maybe part of the problem is the makeup you are using- I don't think many people could be bothered to touch up hourly.

Nope I don't have two separate sets. Most of my make up generally "belongs" in a case on my dresser. I take stuff out in the morning to use it and then if I am going out I chuck some of the stuff I used into a make up bag. I never put loose products in my bag as I wouldn't want to be digging and rummaging to the bottom to find them.

I have a ridiculous amount of makeup, but its well used so I dont feel too guilty!

I keep most of it on my dressing table and also always have a small makeup bag in my handbag for touch ups, this contans powder foundation compact, couple of lippys, blusher, small size mascara (from a Clinique bonus time, love those gifts with purchase for their handy size) and eyeliner.
