My Makeup Basics...

allo,

I know that everyone has different products in a bag... but one thing I can live without is my makeup bag; it has my basics to put on my look.. The makeup in my bag rotates depending the season and most of my wardrobe. 


the makeup bag I use is by e.l.f., but they no longer have it. it is a cool  bag that is magnetic and can be used in many ways. it includes a side to hold brushes with ease and a mirror above it. on the opposite side is a mess pouch to add more brushes(that is where i keep all of my brushes).

since it is magnetic, you can use the center as a clutch to hold your basics to refresh your look and hold other little things.

but in my bag:
  • U.D. Smoked Palette
    • has great colors to make many day to night looks
  • NARS Concealer 
    • to touch up any blemishes and clean up edges
  • Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo
    • I have most of the colors offered by this brand line. I love these because you can use them as a base or as the shadow of your choice. Currently I have: Ready, Set, Green: Electric Blue: Pomegranate Punk; they change depending on my mood or what I am wearing. I would defiantly recommend this product to everyone!!!
  • Eyeliner
    • I know that everyone has their own favourite eyeliners whether it is liquid, cream/gel/ or kohl pencil. I use the Maybelline Studio gel eyeliner in Blackest Black and the Stiletto liquid in Blackest Black.
  • Mascara  
    • I love using the Maybelline Big Lash in Blackest Black and the waterproof so it some running off.
  • U.D. eyeshadow in Mushroom
    • I LOVE THIS SHADOW!!! I used it all out of the Smoked palette that I bought the single and keep with me. it is my go to shadow with liner and lashes. <3
  • Real Techniques Brushes
    • last but certainly not least, these brushes are great for many tasks. I use the deluxe crease brush for concealer and the lip detailer brush for liner. the brushes are plush synthetic bristles for a smoother makeup application.
now I know that is what I carry, but it is seasonal and it is what I like.. all of the products but U.D. can be purchased at a drugstore near you...

keep reading y'all and have a great weekend!!!

Tschüss
Shannon
