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 think that’s it more or less! I need new stuff :D

Most of my makeup stays in the cabinet at home, and I only do touch-ups from my make-up bag, which has:
Japonesque powder compact (almost out, prob will revert to Beauty Pie when done)
mini Nars creamy concealer
Kiko lip primer
Shiseido lip liner
Becca lipstick in Truffle (my default, always have one in my bag) plus other lipstick if I'm wearing something else that day
Collection eyebrow pencil
mini CND solar oil for nails
travel size Hermes Eau Neroli Dore plus whatever sample I'm trying to use up
whatever mini hand cream I'm currently using up (L'Occitane shea freebie right now)

I might add an eyeshadow crayon (Beauty Pie) or a small palette (Viseart or Suqqu) if I'm going to be out for a long day or formal event, for touch-ups.

(Plus the usual stuff: pill box, sudocream, eyeglass mini screw, plasters, comb, hairpins, nivea lip balm)

Several (5?) various warm/neutral eyeshadow palettes

I have a vast amount of makeup (think YouTube beauty guru proportions) but this is what lives in my makeup bag that's in my handbag:

  • Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush pressed powder
  • By Terry Baume de Rose lip balm pencil
  • MAC Lip primer
  • Clean & Clear oil blotting sheets
  • Chanel Balm Essential Sculpting highlighter stick
  • Laura Mercier Secret Camoflauge bright & correct duo concealer pen
  • Whatever blush and lip products I'm wearing that day - at the moment it's a Pat McGrath blush and a Chantecaille tinted lip balm
