What's inside your makeup bag?

What do you guys carry in your makeup bag in your purse? I decided to show you guys what I have, post pictures if you can! Here is my bag for makeup, I have another bag for other things like perfume/mirror/hand sani etc, ahem:

I like to keep mini or tiny things for my MU bag mostly. Here is what it is:

  • Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer in a tiny jar (this doubles as a foundation + concealer)
  • NYC Creme Blush Stick in Big Apple Blush
  • MAC Studio Finish Concealer
  • Blinc Mascara (“tubing” one)
  • Aquaphor
  • Nivea Lip Balm
  • Sleek Pout Polish in Perfect Plum (amazing for winter color-wise)
  • Revlon Lip Butter in Candy Apple
  • Lip Gloss from BBW in Toffee (smells orgasmically yummy and isn’t sticky)
  • Laura Geller Mini baked blush in Sunswept (doubles as e/s in a pinch)
  • NARS mini Laguna bronzer dies of cuteness
  • Retractable black liner
  • Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes liner in Black
  • Benefit Posietint (mini)
  • BarryM Shimmering Eye Crayon in #5
  • Ecotools Shade Brush (travel size: it’s a VERY tiny brush, perfect for KA SSE)
  • Laura Mericer Blush brush (SH)

Oh and since I love tiny or mini cheek/blush things, here is a comparison between the full and mini sizes of the NARS Laguna and a Laura Gellar baked blush:

SO CUTE! :wub:

Re: What’s inside your makeup bag?

Ooh I have that Sleek Perfect Plum thingy, it’s pretty nice. Might try the Cadillac one too.
Have you tried their Pout Paints? They’re really nice, you need like, just two drops and it lasts the whole day like a lipt stain but more richer :slight_smile:
I’ve got one in a cranberry pinky colour and a nudey pink colour:

Re: What's inside your makeup bag?

lol, i love how you took pics using your mac as a background. i did that too when mine was new.

i don't carry a makeup bag. i have a lipbalm, blotting sheets, a dior addict lipstick just in case (otherwise i don't wear lipstick normally).

if i know i will definitely be going somewhere after work, then i will chuck in my pressed powder, whatever blush i'm wearing and a brush. and mac technakohl to touch up my waterline.

Re: What’s inside your makeup bag?

LOL! I’m not doing it because of that! It’s the only flat thing which I can rest on my lap while having the light over my shoulder. :smack:

Oh and blotting sheets remind me, I keep some in my “other” bag. And pressed powder is a good idea, I think I’ll start using my Sleek Luminous Pressed Powder or my MAC MSFN.

Re: What’s inside your makeup bag?

I have heard of the Sleek Pout paints, actually! I heard they’re very similar to the OCC ones. What’s a good MLBB shade?

Re: What's inside your makeup bag?

To be honest. the Sleek range isn't as wide as the OCC ones, they just have random colours and it's pretty much limited to about 8 or 9 colours I think? I don't really think any of them are MLBB worthy. These two are the only ones I bought cos they felt a bit more wearable (compared to bright blue and lilac purple, yuck), but the pigmentation's pretty rich and it lasts me a good while when I wear them.

Otherwise they're good for fancy dress lip make up??

Re: What's inside your makeup bag?

Oh but apparently you can mix the colour shades though!

Re: What’s inside your makeup bag?

I know, I used it coz it was a flat and even coloured surface.

Re: What's inside your makeup bag?

i dont carry a makeup bag with me :/ i never find a reason to go over any makeup apart from lips. BUT i do carry with me a few varieties of lipsticks..carmex lip balm which i used to love but recently find so drying on my lips :( vaseline as standard! Thats about it. obviously anti-bacterial gel and hand cream.

Re: What's inside your makeup bag?

I love your hello kitty makeup bag, its so cute. And wow, you have a nicely maintained makeup bag mine has like things jibbered in it :( And I keep WAY TOO MANY things in mine that I barely use.
