Every woman (and occasionally some men) have one.
Whether yours only contains 'the essentials': lip-gloss and concealer, or
whether it is full of the beauty secrets behind your look. The Makeup Bag. Some
are plain, while others are exciting. Some are full, while some others are
barely even used. But we all have one.
My makeup bag is definitely something I couldn’t
live without, (sounds undoubtedly shallow I know) but in all honestly I really
don’t think I could. I have been prone to ‘Teenage Acne’ for as long as I can
remember and concealer has coincided with being my best friend in those years.
So in a sense I have always had a ‘makeup bag’. I suppose a makeup bag doesn’t have to be your typical run of the mill
mini soap bag, which only holds
makeup, it can in a sense be your soap-bag. I feel a makeup bag is literally
whatever you hold your day-to-day makeup in, be that a standard ‘makeup bag’,
or just scattered around your handbag.
Whilst applying my makeup for a day at college the
other day, I thought; why not do a post of what’s in this small bag containing all
my beauty secrets? So that’s what I’m doing.
This is the 'sacred' makeup bag. It was a gift my mum's best friend in New Zealand. I love it. It's the perfect size to hold all my makeup and I just think it's so pretty.
First item in the bag: my foundation. I've really struggled with foundation over the years, I've struggled with finding one that is the right colour for my complexion, doesn't make my skin flaky and actually does the job of covering my face and creating an even skin-tone. I actually got this particular one after my Grandma recommended it to me. It just makes my skin feel really smooth, and does the job it's supposed to without looking 'cakey'.

(yes it's the palest colour...)
