8 Makeup Must Haves in your Bag

Random plans are fun, but then of course you want to look your prettiest best at all times. Here are 8 products that you must carry with you for a quick makeup makeover.

Face Wipes- This can save your day and face if you have extremely oily and acne-prone skin. Keeping face wipes handy ensures that you can easily clean your face and rid it of dirt and grime on the go. Another plus of keeping these in your bag is that if you have to commute longer distances, you can easily rub your makeup off on your way and do not end up sleeping in stale makeup.

Pressed Powder- No matter what your skin type is, a pressed powder instantly brightens and takes the tired look off of your face. Choose one that suits your skin type and you are good to go. A lot of pressed powders offer a good coverage, so if you are in hurry, you can skip applying foundation altogether.

Your favorite lipstick- Keep a tube of your favorite lipstick handy. A color that suits your face sans any makeup will look good on you in any situation and if you do not have any other makeup product in hand, just swipe your favorite lip color to change your look.

Eyeliner- Eye makeup is great if you want a casual or a decked up look. I have always been a great fan of eyeliner; in fact it was one of my first makeup products. There are so many ways you can wear eyeliner, for dramatic eyes go for a cat or a winged liner look and if you want to keep things subtle, just a thin line along your lash line should suffice.

Mascara- I would actually advice keeping an eyelash curler handy along with mascara because I always curl my lashes before applying mascara. L’Oreal double extension mascara comes with an extra serum primer that gives added volume and length.

Another great option is to go for a dramatic eye makeup, a few swipes of mascara along with well-lined eyes is quick, easy and hassle-free.

Concealer- Especially for women, who need extra coverage for pigmentation or dark circles, concealers are a complete must. Get a good concealer that does not cake up, so that you can just dab a few on the required area and top it up with pressed powder for a quick and great evening look.

White eye pencil
Want to instantly make your eyes pop open or look bigger? Just rim your inner corner of your eyes with a white eye pencil and make quick swipes on your water line too. The white color creates the illusion of bigger eyes and makes them look brighter.

Bright Pink Lip Gloss
A bright pink lip gloss instantly takes the focus away from the unflattering spots on the face. If you have acne or dark eyes and you do not have any other cosmetic product, a few swipes of a bright pink gloss, is enough to get a change of look.
