mup bag

A few weeks ago, the lovely (and hugely talented make-up artist) Shahnaz from Shahnazlovebeauty asked me this very question. Given my chosen profession, I’m constantly trying new products, especially makeup. While it may seem like I don’t wear much, there are seven products I use every day, without fail:

  1. Foundation or BB Cream
  2. Concealer
  3. Bronzer
  4. Blusher
  5. Mascara
  6. Eyeliner
  7. Lipstick/lipgloss

If I had to choose just one item I could not live without, it would be a coverage product like a foundation, tinted moisturiser or BB cream. I think you need little else when your skin looks great. I’m also a big fan of blusher, as it gives the complexion a healthy glow. I’m always trying out new mascaras, but, in my opinion, Lancôme, Maybelline & Chanel make the best formulas.

Whenever I hit the shops, I keep my eyes peeled for cute makeup bags. I was lucky enough to get the one pictured above at a press launch recently. It’s by one of my favourite handbag designers, Kelly Bloom. Check her Facebook page out here.

Anyway, click here to see the actual post on Shahnaz’ site where I explain why I love all the products above.

What are your must-have makeup items – those you simply couldn’t live without?
