What’s in your make-up bag?

[Marghe87]

I adore these type of yt videos so I thought a MN version of it would be fun :)
Need inspo as had a huge decluttering and want to be back to wearing makeup more regularly after having had dd. Mine is currently like this:

• bare minerals powder foundation
• estee lauder bronze goddess bronzer
• a very old dior blush
• a very old ysl greyish eyeshadow
• old lancome stick eyeshadow in brownish shade
• dior eyebrows pencil
• mascara from Pupa (italian brand)
• x2 mac lipsticks: chili and brick o’la
• old lancome lip pencil rose thé
• old red lipstick by clinique

I have not work any makeup since the first lockdown and what I have got left in my makeup bag (after dd pillaged it when she was back with us) must be out of date.

I need to start from scratch.

You mean bag as in what I carry daily, or my whole makeup? Because if you have seen those makeup room tours..

Following with interest. As you can see I usually stick to MAC and am not very adventurous as I hate wasting money on stuff that doesn't work.

Most of the contents of my M&S beauty calendar! Plus a very old Estée Lauder lippy - I bought it for a friends wedding 20 years. She's on her 3rd husband now!

I know where everything is, honest

The makeup I wear and apply at home stays at home in the bathroom. I don't touch up anything but lipstick during the day (when I remember and am not wearing a bloody mask). Or if my face has melted in the heat while out I might use a brush to apply translucent powder.
In my 'makeup' bag (it's actually a small pencil case) that I carry in my bag or leave in the car, are items I will or might need while on the good. So that contains:

• one or two lipsticks
• a mini mascara, oldish brow powder, tiny compact of powder and brush ~ these for emergency touchups
• small plastic box with divisions for the medications that I use during the day
• double sided mirror (one side magnifying)
• tweezers
• a few bandaids
• a few teeth picks/flossers
• mini bottle of my favourite perfume

Further backup supplies that live in the centre console in my car are wet wipes, hand cream (which I apply at traffic lights) and deodorant (just in case).

on the good = on the go!

YSL blur primer
Maybelline dream matte mousse
Kat Von D foundation (yuck. Not sure why I still have it)
Essence lash princess mascara
Urban Decay perversion mascara
Rimmel kohl pencil
Rimmel exaggerate liquid eyeliner

Kat Von D “Lovecraft” pink lip liner
Mac ”Chili” red lipstick
Chantecaille pencil sharpener

A Mon Guerlain perfume sample.

My makeup bag is The Simpson’s Treehouse of horror.

I need to find primer, eyeliners and foundation from Vegan/cruelty free brands. I’m just using up stuff I’ve got.

Hourglass No 28 serum primer
By Terry cover expert foundation
By Terry terrybly densiliss concealer
By Terry hyaluronic hydra powder
An estee lauder bronzer/blush
Charlotte tilbury filmstar bronze and glow
Benefit bad gal bang
Hourglass ambient lighting pallette

Zao brown mascara
Zao blusher
Zao lipstick sample
Dr PawPaw tinted lipbalm

I threw out all of my makeup a while ago as it had all been open for yonks and was probably festering all sorts. I only recently discovered Zao and not affiliated with them at all, but all their stuff comes in refillable bamboo cases which I really like, and you can then use that to mix & match in palettes which is such a good idea I'm surprised other brands haven't caught on!

Bag that has my make up in that I put on before I go out and that stays in a drawer in the kitchen:

CT Flawless Filter
Georgio Armani foundation
Maybelline powder
L'Oréal Mascara
Hourglass palette
Eyebrow pomade
Various brushes

Bag I take out with me:

e.l.f eyeshadow stick
NYX eyeliner
Hoola Bronzer
Collection concealer
Eyebrow pencil
Lipstick ( changes periodically, currently an old Max Factor one I'm using up)
Nivea lip balm
Tester perfumes

I do my whole face from the two bags but only the one goes out with me. I rarely reapply anything other than lipstick but I feel a bit lost unless I know I can basically re do and entire face if need be on the hoof.

I don’t actually wear loads, but I think typing it out is going to feel like a lot!

• Laura Mercier (LM) tinted moisturiser (the oily skin one)
• LM blurring primer
• Facetheory silicone-free primer (haven’t actually tried this yet)
• Estee Lauder double wear powder compact
• Bare Minerals original mineral powder
• YSL Touché Eclat high coverage concealer (it’s not high coverage btw, but I bought it because I like it, not for pigment!)
• NARS blushers (Orgasm, Behave)
• LM blusher (passion fruit)
• LM translucent setting powder
• LM shimmer quad
• Benefit precisely my brow pencil
• Benefit brow zings (wax and powder, may get rid soon)
• Urban Decay eyeliners (Underground, Hustle, had these a while so they may be out soon)
• Wayne Goss pearl palette
• Wayne Goss eyeliners (Rich Hazel, Precious Opal)
• Burts Bees tinted lip balms (Hibiscus, Rose, and shimmers in Fig, Peony and something or other)
• Lanolips tinted (Nude, Rose?)
• Collection clear mascara (cheapy from Boots, I don’t like ‘proper’ mascara)

I have a separate bag for brushes, it’s not masses but there’s maybe 10 or so different brushes (mostly Real Techniques, one Urban Decay, one Smashbox, a kabuki from somewhere I can’t remember…), 2 beauty blenders, a Shiseido eyelash curler, and a NARS pencil sharpener.

I hadn’t appreciated until now just how much Laura Mercier I have!

Oh, and some LM eyeshadow sticks…

I really do have quite a bit of LM!

I only tend to take a lipstick out with me rather than a makeup bag, but my daily used items tend to be:

Vieve primer
Lisa Eldridge foundation
Hourglass ambient powder
Nars blusher
Nars eye primer
Maybelline tattoo eyeshadow in a kind of yellowy nude colour
Eyelash curlers
Either Lancôme or MAC foundation
Benefit Browzings
One of a hundred or so different red lipsticks
