I have so many beauty products, from nail colours to skin care, I’ve got it all. I usually try to single out a small pouch where I can put my total makeup routine in because it’s easy to throw it in my purse.
I found an old Red Earth metallic soft bag and went about minimizing to the most critical products I use. Here’s what it contains:
I found a foundation by Revlon that was still sealed in one of my treasure troves of old skin care. It was a photo-ready makeup which means it doesn’t make your face look ghostly blue when photographed.
It’s a liquid foundation but feels like a silky powder when you apply it with your fingers. I always apply foundation with my fingers because it warms it and I can do it quickly.
My eyes I use an old Physician’s Formula gel liner in deep purple and a coppery brown by Nyx. It’s always good to use shadow that has a similar tone to your hair. For the highlight colour I use a light peach mineral shadow by Emani. I don’t use mascara because I don’t really need it.
Lips I have about 200 or so lipsticks and about 100 glosses and I find it so hard to pick one but I managed to pick ‘Moonlight’, an old shade by Red Earth. It’s a glimmery almost bare pink. Out of all the lipsticks I own it’s the best feel on the lips. It doesn’t feel slimy or sticky.
That’s my bag!
In other news I bought another shade in the new Revlon 2015 nail colour line called 715 ‘Privileged’. It’s a medium peach flat colour. It was 5 bucks so I felt I could afford it.
Right now my nails are a shimmery light pink. I used a light pink SH colour with 3 coats of OPI shimmering pink on top. It matches the Moonlight lipstick in my bag.
Last shoutout is to Revlon Matte lipstick. No need for tissues to dap your lips on. What a crazy ritual that is anyway. Revlon has matte shades and the one I use is 004. It’s a medium coral/pink. Very bright and very nice.
