Just the above really?

I'm let 30's and my make up bag consists of foundation, concealer, mascara, bronzer and eye brow pencil.

What do you all use?

Giorgio Armani nude skin foundation
Clinique chubby stick blusher
Fresh tinted lip balm

I've got a loreal mascara but I don't love it. I wish mascara was normal again instead of packaged in huge, weird shaped tubes. There's been too much mascara creep in my view.

Not a bag but clear plastic organiser thing on dressing table.

for office days:
mac foundation
mac blusher
l’oreal brow pomade
random brand mascara I got in a beauty box and somehow doesn’t make me constantly rub my eyes
random lip balm

separate plastic box of more “going out” type makeup like eyeshadows and highlighter

plus a lipstick organiser with loads of lipsticks although I only wear 4 or 5 and probably only like once a month.

BranchGold · 01/05/2024 22:54

I still don’t understand how people are putting foundation on but no blush!

Do you not just look like Casper the ghost with no features?!

Couldn't possibly list everything on my dressing table, but the everyday essentials for me would be -

Primer - Bobbi Brown for eyes, Ultra Violette queen screen for face (spf)

Mascara - YSL / L'Oreal (in brown)
Concealer - Chanel Sublimage, with Bobbi Brown colour corrector
Eyeshadow - Dior in Soft Cashmere, YSL in Stora Dolls
Blush - Chanel
Lipstick - Victoria Beckham
Lip liner - Lisa Eldridge
Contour - MAC
Brow pencil - MAC

These I wouldn't use everyday but still couldn't be without -

Foundation - Chanel Les Beiges (only use sometimes)
Eyeliner - Victoria Beckham & Chantecaille
Bobbi Brown Luxe eyeshadow for glam / evening looks

Skincare pretty much exclusively Aesop, I always feel like I'm in a spa when I use it.

I have loads and loads of make up and loads of make up bags but...

I now very rarely use foundation. I am really quite lazy but I think blessed with good skin. I am 64 and not very wrinkly - although of course lines around eyes.

I occasionally use a tinted moisturiser/BB/CC cream like Garnier or Erborian/Boots no 7.

My every day when working is a brown eye pencil, dark brown eye brow pencil, mascara and lipstick/gloss/balm. I used to always go for a full face but do not bother now as I think it is ageing.

I usually wear perfume every day and not always the same one.

At the moment I am using an Elemis glow moisturiser which really does glow!

I love Urban Decay's eye pencils but they need sharpening so often. I love the Maybelline new mascara too. Ren's toner is great and I either use Caudalie cleanser (and the face spray which I love!) or La Roche Posay cleanser or Roc.

I have various serums and oils.

However, if Nivea soft day cream is the nearest thing to put on, then that will do! I have the La Roche Posay Anthelios SPF always in my bag too.
