My Make Up Bag Essentials

My Make Up Bag Essentials by thewhiteboard featuring nars cosmetics

Most girls have a make up bag.. But what do we actual need to keep in our make up bag ? What I think are the ' must have essentials ' are the above. I'm not saying you have to have these brands, but I would recommend having the primer and foundation in the same brand as I personally think they always work better together when they are the same brand.

OK so starting from the base how do we apply ?

Start with the Primer you just need a pea size amount, place all over face but focusing on the major areas like around the mouth and where you make up moves most.
Foundation apply this all over the face ensuring you blend this in to the neck
Concealer if you need this i.e under eye or to cover blemishes
Fill in your brows, don't leave foundation sitting in the hairs, comb these and fill in using brow powder
Set your foundation, and concealer by adding translucent powder all over the face, this ensures that the foundation sets and a really good way to stop your face from shining.
Add your eyeshadow ( only if you like eyeshadow ) add your eye liner and mascara
Add bronzer only if you like using bronzer to define certain areas i.e cheek bones, temples,forehead
Add blusher to the apples of your cheeks
Add highlighter to your brow bone and inner corner of your eye ( only if you want these to stand out and you want your eyes to look bigger.
Add some more translucent powder finally just over your face this time you don't need to apply much, this just sets the final touch to the face, ensuring your make up doesn't move.
Finally add some lipstick or lipgloss
