Everyday Make-up Bag

Short but sweet.
10 Make-Up products I carry with me everywhere for an everyday look.
Before I start I should explain that I travel a lot. I split my week in 3 by staying at either my Dads, Mums or my boyfriends. I'm never at a house for more than two or 3 days, so I always carry my basic make-up with me everywhere. So this is probably different from other peoples "What's in my Make-Up Bag" posts. 

Cosmetic Bag by Cath Kidston.
This make-up bag, bought for my by my beautiful sister, is perfect as it fits all my essentials and doesn't take up much room!

Base!

I only carry around 1 brush with me and it's the Real Techniques stippling brush. I use it for my concealer, foundation and powder so it's a great multi-tool. 
 I use Collection 2000's Lasting Perfection concealer to cover redness and blemishes and I use my MAC Select MoistureCover Concealer around my eyes and over drier areas.
I chop and change my foundation constantly, this week I've been carrying around Rimmel London's Wake Me Up Foundation. 
Powder is nothing special, It's Rimmel Clear Complexion pressed powder.

Eyes!

In my March Favourites I wrote about how much I love L'oreal Super Liner Perfect Slim eye-liner. Winged liner has currently replaced eye-shadow in my daily make-up, because I'm too lazy for both.
The mascara I'm currently carrying is L'oreal Volume Million Lashes in Extra Black. I tend to change mascara all the time between this and Clinique High Impact.  They're both fantastic.

Now that I have a fringe I spend less time on my eyebrows so I'm currently using Rimmel London Eyebrow Pencil in Black/Brown. This saves space too as I don't need a brush anymore.
Despite them being covered, I still check my brows everyday and carry tweezers with me everywhere. 
I don't know why.
My father brought these back from a spa in New Zealand for me. It pains me to say they're the best tweezers I've ever used and I'm sorry I can't lead you to where to find them.

Lips!

I also wrote about this in my March Favourites it's the Revlon Kissable Balm Stain in shade Honey. I actually tend to just throw this in my handbag and apply it on the go. I change what lip product I carry around probably weekly because I like a bold lip, but this is great for on the go (which it seems I always am). It also saves me from carrying round a lip balm too. 

Hope this post was helpful, maybe a good idea on packing light for travelling?

I'll be uploading another post this week on my larger Make-Up Bag for different looks.
What do you carry round with you?
