My
Makeup Bag

There might be a
few of you out there wondering what is in the makeup bag of someone
like me, a
self confessed makeup junkie and beauty site
editor...?
Well first of all, 'makeup bag' in this case is just a convenient term to define the container of my stockpile of makeup. Two large deep bathroom vanity drawers, with little stacked organizers actually house my inventory...BUT don't get the wrong impression. I am a picky purveyor of quality, performance makeup.
It may surprise you... Also, as far as my main makeup style goes, it may surprise you to know that I am far from diva material ...actually, most days, I love that highly sought after natural beauty chic. You know... that style where most people think you are a natural beauty with a casual, not trying too hard approach; fresh radiant skin, pretty eyes, a fresh looking mouth...think Gisele Bündchen, Jennifer Anniston...Ya, that's the one. Truth be known, that 'look' takes a lot of meticulous attention to detail, knowing your face and coloring well, application strategy and yes, for most, some makeup. I have always liked the jingle by Maybelline "...maybe she's born with it, maybe its Maybelline..." because it underscores a philosophy shared by many, including pro makeup artists, you should see the beauty of the person, not the makeup (that's the sign post of makeup well done). I don't have a lot of Maybelline these days with the exception of their Great Lash Waterproof Mascara and Clear Mascara for lashes and brows. Anyway, here is a list of my large but carefully chosen makeup items. By the way, I don't wear it all at once, different modes have different line ups and combinations...Hey, this is the art of makeup. Regardless of what is on my makeup bag list, on these linked pages you will find helpful tips on what to look for in a particular makeup item to achieve you own style goals, understand the function of some of the range in formats ( i.e. powder blush vs. cream blush) as well as well as some great reviews.

Not necessarily in my makeup case but incredibly important to your overall appearance is a bright healthy smile (can you imagine gorgeous Gwyneth or Beyonce with dull, or worse yellow, teeth!). Take the time to get on a regimen of teeth whitening...this alone can make a dramatic difference. There all types of systems to choose from depending on your sense of convenience and budget; Crest White Strips, Go Smile and Dr. Katz are all different but effective systems to consider.
