I've been working hard to improve my appearance & just wondered what people's essentials are for touch ups when out and about? (so far I have my lippy and oil absorbing sheets)

Lip gloss. That's it for me.

Oil absorbing sheets . (Body shop)
Mac mineralize foundation and brush

Still trying to find the perfect mascaraConfused

Out and about usually just mirror and lipstick. If I'm out for a night I'll pop a powder compact in too.

Maybe I'll just stick with what I have in there for the mo then & see if there's anything I notice needs fixing while I'm out and about Smile

Whatever lip product I'm wearing that day (lipstick or gloss)
Pressed powder (the oil absorbing sheets I've tried didn't do anything for me at all)
Hand cream
Lip balm

The rest of my makeup lasts all day.

For touch ups I use pressed powder, lipstain and lip balm.

I usually carry some travel sized makeup in my bag as well - small tube of foundation, eyebrow pencil, eyeliner, mascara, concealer. Used on days when I've gone out makeup less but needed to put some on while out.

In my handbag make up bag I have:-
concealer
powder
eyeshadow
eyeliner
mascara
cheek / lip tint
blusher
lip liner
lipstick
lip gloss
vaseline

I go to the gym during my lunch hour so usually need to touch up my make up after this. At the weekends when I go out during the day I usually just stick a lip gloss in my bag

Lip balm, nude lip shine, cream blush, cream eye shadow. Sometimes very 'natural' mascara.

But actually only use the lip balm regularly during the day, except on special occasions.

ElizabethBathory · 23/10/2013 12:46

Mac blot powder
Pot of tinted vaseline
Whichever lipstick I'm wearing that day
YSL Touch Eclat for if my eye circles are looking horrible

That's it. Have never needed to reapply foundation/blusher/eye makeup - if it didn't last all day I'd get rid of it.

A foundation compact or touch up stick. Currently Bobbi Brown but when I run out I will try NARS new compact.
Lipcrayons - I am addicted to these, much easier to apply on the go than lipsticks.
Creme blush - normally MAC or the Bobbi Brown cream blush stick
I love, sticks, creams and compacts on the go. So easy to dab on and no need to carry brushes.

SELondonSwede · 23/10/2013 15:41

Oh and a perfume, always always a perfume

CointreauVersial · 23/10/2013 19:49

Nothing! I never bother touching up.
