What make up do you always have on you?

That's it. I bought a make up bag because I liked it and want to know what I need in it for a day.

In my handbag/ work bag just a Chanel sheer lipstick, some Neutrogena lipsalve and a tube of hand cream (I use the Clarins one as I love the smell which is do you of tobacco rather than floral.)

I’m pretty low maintenance, mind.

Houseplanter · 10/01/2024 09:56

I usually have a lipstick or 3 in my bag but nothing else

Aquamarine1029 · 10/01/2024 09:59

Several different lip balms/glosses and some lotion for hands and arms, that's it. I do my makeup at home, (I wear very little), and that's it for the day.

CeeceeBloomingdale · 10/01/2024 10:01

I don't wear it often. If I do I'd only carry lipstick or gloss to touch up.

WolfFoxHare · 10/01/2024 10:01

Eyebrow pen. I overplucked in the 90s and now I’m menopausal one eyebrow in particular has really thinned.

WinkyTinky · 10/01/2024 10:02

Blotting papers for oily skin. I would die without them! Also powder, concealer, lip balm and lip liner.

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 10/01/2024 10:09

Just lipstick. It’s the only thing I need to reapply throughout the day.

turkeyboots · 10/01/2024 10:11

Lip balm. Suncream in summer. And a whole pile of plasters and painkillers and other random bits that come in useful on occasion.

Bloom15 · 10/01/2024 10:11

Lipgloss and blusher as they're the only things I would reapply during the day if I was out

Gall10 · 10/01/2024 10:14

Gaviscon!

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 10/01/2024 10:35

Whichever lipstick I am wearing that day, and a Fenty pressed powder. Those are the only things I would touch up. I do carry hand cream too - an industrial strength pharmacy one so not at all stylish!

Inthetropics · 10/01/2024 10:52

I usually take with me:

  • Small bottle of tinted sunscreen
  • A sheer lipstick
  • A tiny bottle of perfume
  • Hand lotion
  • Tweezers (for the misterious hair that now appears on my chin 🙄)

The only thing I use everyday is the tinted sunscreen.

Sphynxcatenthusiast · 10/01/2024 10:53

None

TheOGCCL · 10/01/2024 11:57

Specifically make up, a lip/cheek duo (with mirror), concealer and an eyebrow pencil.

RuthW · 10/01/2024 12:04

Lipstick and concealer

dancinginthewind · 10/01/2024 12:13

I have a pencil case in my handbag which contains a lip salve, nude lip stick, mini mascara, eyeshadow pencil, sampler size perfume as well as a couple of pens, pencils, tampons, nurofen, plasters, an emergency £10 (which, depending on when they last changed £10 notes, might be out of date as it has been there for years!), bobbles & hair clips.

viccat · 10/01/2024 12:21

Powder, a selection of lipsticks and glosses and a neutral bronzer or blusher.

evtheria · 10/01/2024 12:23

Going out with a purse or small bag: a lipstick.

DuchessOfSausage · 10/01/2024 12:30

Concealer, eye-liner and lipstick. Tinted lipbalm always even if just nipping to the shop.

Coconuthotchocolate · 10/01/2024 12:33

Lipstick and lipgloss

Precipice · 10/01/2024 14:17

Nothing. I carry something like Nivea cream or epaderm in a little refillable travel pot for dry lips and sunscreen in the summer.

Sparkletastic · 10/01/2024 15:03

Lipstick
Blotting powder
Perfume

LightSwerve · 10/01/2024 15:08

Nothing other than a small thing of suncream.

skysmumm · 10/01/2024 15:09

Perfume, powder compact, lip stuff & highlighter

MotherWol · 10/01/2024 15:09

@Inthetropics which tinted sunscreen and sheer lipstick do you use, and would you recommend them?
