5 Essential Makeup Items for Every Makeup Bag

We all know someone who has their makeup bag bursting at the seams and overflowing with different products that they rarely use. Let’s focus on what we really need, and only keep essential items for makeup in our bags. Different lifestyles have different needs. Here are 5 essential makeup items for every makeup bag, no matter your lifestyle.

Everyday Makeup Bag Essentials for Commuters

Commuting can be extremely exhausting, especially when toting around a 2-pound makeup bag. When running to catch a train or hailing a cab, a heavy makeup bag added to a laptop and lunch can get extremely heavy.

Essential Makeup Bag Items

1. Concealer to hide your lack of sleep.
2. Powder Foundation for a dusting of light coverage.
3. Mascara for making the eyes POP.
4. Highlighter so you can be a glowy goddess.
5. Lip + Cheek Tint to add some color to the face.

Makeup Bag Essentials for Working From Home

Showing up to a small digital square on everyone’s computer does not warrant the same get ready time as it used to. Yes, we still want to look presentable. No, we do not have to worry about hiding every visible pore on our faces. As great as technology is, no one’s camera quality is that good.

1. Mascara because you want your coworkers to know that you have eyelashes.
2. Brow Product to define and structure your face.
3. Lip Product to add some color.
4. Bronzer for contour (and to hide those few quarantine pounds). 
5. Highlighter so you don’t look like you just rolled out of bed.
