Whats in my makeup bag?/ Daily Essentials!

Hi guys! So today I wanted to do a makeup related post. I thought it would be interesting to do a daily makeup essentials or whats in my makeup bag post as I personally really enjoy these. Maybe because I'm a really nosy person. So, I have something in all the categories and some options for you as well. Lets get into it!

Makeup bag

So my makeup bag is this super cute polka dot "I NEED MASCARA" bag from Westside. I actually saw this bag in someone's haul and loved it! So when I saw this in store, I had to pick it up!

Face-

Base-

My daily choice for my base is Lakme CC cream in shade Beige. I have oily skin and this works great for me. However, if you would like a higher coverage I also really like Maybelline Matte and Poreless Foundation too.

Powder/Compact-

For my compact I use Maybelline White Super Fresh Compact in shade Pearl. It has decent coverage, mattifies your makeup, sets it and also it very affordable. Overall, a great deal!

Blush-

For blush I have chosen is my Lakme 9to5 Pure Rouge Blusher in shade Rose Crush. It is a matte blush with a brownish tone so it can be used as a bronzer also. The brush provided with the blush is not good at all so I just use another.

Setting Spray/Primer-

The ELF Makeup Mist and Set is a very calming spray. It works really well to prime and set makeup and also to freshen your face during the day. Its a great way to calm your face and not mess up your makeup. So its one of the most important things to keep in your makeup bag. 

Eyes-

Mascara-

I have put in two Mascaras to give a colour option too. My black mascara is Colorbar Zoom and Whoosh Mascara. It has too wands, one for lengthening and one for volumising. I really love Colorbar mascaras and I also love that it has wands for two different results. Makes it very multipurpose. The other mascara is my Hard Candy Ginormous Lash Volumising Mascara in Electric Blue. I also have this in Purple Haze, which is also great but I chose blue as Lakme and Nyx have launched blue mascaras in India so its easily available here too! I like the mascara as its lengthening and volumising and the blue really makes your eyes pop. The wand is also great for applying mascara on the lower lashes.

  

Brows-

I use my Freedom Pro Eyebrow Kit for my brows in shade Light/Medium. The great thing about the kit is that it has two brow shades, one highlighter shade for under the brow and a brow wax. It also comes with a huge mirror, a plucker and a dual ended eyebrow brush. I use the lighter brow shade for the front of my brows and darker for the tail. Then I go over my brow with the wax and highlighter underneath for a lift.

Liner/Kajal-

For my liner I have chosen the Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner as I really love the formula and the staying power. Gel liners are my favourite as I find using a brush to apply my liner the easiest. The gel consistency dries quicker than liquid so it is convenient to apply in a hurry.

Both my choices for kajal are somewhat different as one is in brown and other in white. I like brown as it gives the definition of the kajal without the harshness and the white as it makes you look fresher and awake as well as can be used as a highlighter for brows and inner corners of the eye. The kajals I use are the Chambor Ultra Glide Eyeliner Pencil in shade Earthy Brown and Lakme Eyeconic Kajal in shade White. Seriously if you have not tried a brown or white kajal, give it a try! You would be amazed at the difference!

Lips-

For my lipstick I have kept a nude lip and two bright ones. The reason I have kept two bright ones that one cannot match all makeup looks and outfits. I keep switching out the lipstick shades because I love to have fun with my lip shades. The nude shade is a Sugar Matte as Hell Crayon Lipstick in shade Holly Golightly. I got this with my fabbag and I love it. The shade is a perfect my lip but better nude and very matte. The formula of all Sugar Lipsticks is amazing and that is why this is my go to nude. My bold lips include Sephora Rouge Creme Lipstick in shade Say My Name that I got in my recent Sephora Haul and the other is Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick in shade Obessed Orange. Do you see yet that I love matte? Both these shades are lovely and can elevate any look. The sephora lipper is hot pink while the Colorbar is a very bright orange. For some people this might be too bright but I love these. Sometimes I add a red lipstick or a gloss to my bag. During the December months I was using my Miss Claire Matte Soft Lip Creams and my Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick in Earthy Taupe.

   I'm not a huge eyeshadow person. I only wear shadows on special occasions so I have not included any in this list because its not a daily product.

I hope you enjoyed this post. Keep tuned of more. Thanks for reading and lots of love! 😘😘😘
