Re: Whats in your daily makeup bag??
My shift is 12 hours of running....sometimes putting on masks and safety goggles.....I don't have anytime to touch up my makeup, but when I go to the bathroom,I use blotting paper. I also carry lipgloss. It's too hot here to carry lipstick in a uniform pocket-I have melted dozens! If I have to see a lot of infectious disease patients,all my makeup except my eyeshadow is gone by the end of the shift.

Re: Whats in your daily makeup bag??
I don't really need make up every day (except mascara, that's my essential) bc I'm in the Army but I always have lip balm with me and when I go out I take blot papers, lipgloss or lipstick of the day, and the small pocket mirror my cousin offered me last year (it's green with huge pink flowers on it, so I always see it even when it's lost in my bag... which happens all the time!)

Re: Whats in your daily makeup bag??
I have a cheap $1 Target zipper bag which has all my staples in it so I'm not searching for a favorite.
-Maybelline full n soft mascara- Black
-Bare Minerals in Light or Fairly Light
-NYX blush in Natural (to be replaced soon by MAC tenderling)
-Mary Kate and Ashley bronzer- not bad, but not pigmented enough. Looks very natural on. I've been lusting over Cargo's big bronzer, but the thing wouldn't fit in my bag!
-Sephora bronzer and Clinique eyeshadow brushes in a ziplock baggie.
-UD Midnight Cowboy (I want Rides Again. I regret getting the regular one now  )
-Benefit boiing (too light. I never use it! I need to replace it and get a brush)
-Sample of UDPP
-ELF eyelash curler. I want a nicer one!
And eventually, a MAC dazzlelight, too.

Re: Whats in your daily makeup bag??
I dont think mine is too bad..
Sheer pressed powder for touch ups,
129 brush fafi edition (so cute & perfect for carrying around!!)
lipstick (they change everyday)
lip conditioner
& thats it!
HOWEVER,
If i'm going somewhere where i know i wont be home all day, ill carry every eyeshadow i used for my makeup that day (maybe 3) for touch ups including eye liner and mascara.

Re: Whats in your daily makeup bag??
For me it's...
-MSFN
-182
-Black Eye Kohl
-Black Retractable Eyeliner
-Lancome Hynose
-Lancome Fatale Sample
-Carmex
-Aloe Vera Vaseline
-MAC Clear Lipglass
-L'oreal Colour Juice in Caramel Latte
-My lipgloss of the day
-Mirror
-My pink tweezermens
-Chewing Gum
The best part of it is A. I don't even apply 1/2 of this in public- only Carmex and lipgloss and B. I don't even tweeze my brows period!

Re: Whats in your daily makeup bag??
Here's my makeup bag: (a leopard print large makeup case from my store (Bath and Body Works) with red trim)
MAC Glitter in 3D Silver and Reflects Very Pink
MAC Pigment in Teal and Violet
Small size of UDPP
Make Up For Ever eye shadow in Calendula (or #2)
CO Bigelow Mentha Frosty lipshine in Cinnamint
MAC Iridescent powder in Belightful (the Fafi one)
Lancome Colour Focus eyeshadow in Slide
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Midnight Cowboy Rides Again and Eldorado
Mini Lancome Star Bronzer in Bronze Solaire (the GWP one)
Smashbox Soft Lights quad in Aglow (the one from the ULTA gift set)
Goldie Lip Plump
Chanel Glossimer in Spark
MAC lipstick in Flash 'N Dash
Urban Decay Heavy Metal eyeliners in Metalhead, Midnight Cowboy, and Spandex
Urban Decay Heavy Metal eye gel in Power Ballad
Miniature Victoria's Secret Very Voluptuous lip plumper
Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Dime and Electric, and mini liners in Zero, Bourbon, Lucky, Lust
MAC eyeshadows in Pink Freeze, Crystal Avalanche, Pagan, Moon's Reflection
Estee Lauder Pure Colour shadow in Butter
Lancome Colour Design shadow in The Pink Carpet, Kitten Heel, Makeover, Style Section, Luring
Vincent Longo Vibrant eye liquid eyeliner in Giallino
Too Faced Starry Liner in Super Freak
Liplicious Crystal lipgloss in Roby Pomegranate
Avon Uplifting mascara in Navy
That's my MU case, then in my purse I keep my Urban Decay Deluxe palette and in my work apron, which always is in my purse, I keep my MAC lipglass in Style Minx.
It is a lot, but sometimes I wake up too late for me to do my makeup at home, so I always make sure to have enough makeup for me to do at least 5 to 7 different looks (a couple of blue looks, a yellow look, some green looks, purple, frosty, etc). I don't do pigment on the bus though. And as far as the lip colour goes, I can use several different colours in one day-I used 3 or 4 yesterday alone and I only worked a three hour shift (went in with the Glossimer, then put my Estee lipstick on, then got bored and went back to Style Minx.

Re: Whats in your daily makeup bag??
Not much really:
- Vichy lipbalm
- Clinique blotpaper
- Lip gloss (and I don't even use it!)
- Small mirror
I sometimes wonder if I should have something else for tough ups, but I already carry 10 tons in my bag....

Re: Whats in your daily makeup bag??
I used to take everything that I put on in the morning (sans foundation, and similar) into my bag, and it was massive!! But since I discovered the power of primer, I need less for touch-ups and really only carry what I need for quick fixes. Right now that is:
~Black pencil liner (a little 2"er!)
~Mini-mascara
~Mirror
~Concealer
~Powder
~Clear lipgloss
~Nude lipgloss
~And an occasional lipstick, colored liner, or shadow
And 90% of the time, I don't even go in there, except to touch up the waterline and deshine my nose!

Re: Whats in your daily makeup bag??
- Mascara
- Eyelash curler (I hate my lashes, they refuse to stay bent, aghhh)
- Blush. Depends on what I'm wearing that day, but mostly a peachy blush like Peaches or Style, because I look best in peachy shades.
- Lipbalm.I carry a zillion of these in my purse, my faves are various Lip Smackers (yum!) and The Body Shops lip balms/butters.
- Lipglass/lustreglass
- Jellybabe lipgelée. Because it has a nice texture and has that perfect MLBB shade without any sparkle.
- Powder compact
- Concealer. I need to find a really good one though (any tips?), that can hide the zits that pops up now and then and cover dark circles without looking weird. How come concealer gets so cakey and odd?
- Small brush bag with powder & blush brushes.

Re: Whats in your daily makeup bag??
I lost my bag today
I dunno how I'm gonna find that wooden mirror I had, since I've had it so long now. Bye, Silly and Hi Resin Rose! Awww, my NARS multiple in South Beach
Luckily I have replacements for everything else, and my local freestanding store has plenty of Heatherette left.
