1. Foundation
A base for your face is a makeup bag essential. To give coverage, add some colour or a simply give you a glow if you have tired looking skin. Having it handy means you can touch up throughout the day or before you head straight from the office to friday night drinks…. My favourite foundation at the moment is Chanel Mat Lumière.
2. Concealer
Not sure how other ladies feel about good ol’ concealer but it is my best friend. Sudden break outs, dark circles all banished with a simple swipe of this heavenly stuff! Cant get enough. A definite make up bag essential! I’m loving Laura Mercier secret concealer.
3. Lip Balm
Soft hydrated lips are a must. A perfect base for underneath many lipsticks, and essential in keeping cracked lips at bay.. especially in the cooler months. Lately i cannot get enough of Maybelline baby lips. The eye catching packaging is a bonus too!
4. Mascara
To instantly open up the eyes mascara will do the trick, great when you want to achieve a minimal makeup look and don’t have much time to spend doing your eye makeup. Cant go wrong with full lashes! My all time favourite mascara is Diorshow mascara.
5. Eyebrow pencil
Now i believe eyebrows are the most important feature on your face. Good brows are everything. A brow pencil is an essential for filling in any gaps, enhancing your shape and adding a little more depth if you have naturally light brows. I have been using MAC brow pencil in “spiked” for years….
