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?

Bare Minerals powder. Brilliant.

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!

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

Nothing.

Except my tube of nivea soft.

Better than sex- mascara

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

Bare minerals bisque concealer.

soap & glory marvellips

Any of it.

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.

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!

Pretty much everything.

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

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'.

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
