- Honey, what is it?
- Do not you see? A hammer.
“But why do you need a hammer in your purse?”
- What if it comes in handy?
It’s hard to imagine how many jokes have already been invented about women's cosmetic bags and bags. But they all boil down, as a rule, to one thing: each girl carries everything with her. Half a house or more. It is in the case of "what if it comes in handy." Is it really? Let's see what should be in the makeup bag of each girl and is it superfluous?
Types of Cosmetic Bags
To begin with, it is worth mentioning the fact that any girl has not one, but several working cosmetic bags that they use every day - the so-called handbag and home, as well as traveling. And the contents of each are different from each other. In one, the necessary minimum is stored, in the other - an expanded arsenal, and the third is trying to combine both categories.
Home
Beauty case - an indispensable thing for storing all sorts of needs and cosmetics in one place. This greatly facilitates the search for the necessary things and eliminates the need for tearing shelves and shaking boxes. There can be several beauty cases: for decorative cosmetics, care products, and hairbrushes, hairpins and hairpins. Or one roomy, outwardly more like a chest than a cosmetic bag.
However, the concept of a "cosmetic bag" does not always mean a handbag that is taken with you or in which something is stored. This is often referred to as all personal care products.
What should be in a home makeup bag?
First of all, of course, cosmetics for facial skin care: remover (makeup remover), “wash” - foam, gel or special soap (not “Dove”, “Fa” and the like), day or day toner and night creams or gels depending on the type of skin, cream for the area around the eyes. Peeling roll or scrub and several masks. For example, moisturizing, nourishing and cleansing.
The minimum list of body care products includes deodorant (regular or antiperspirant depending on your sweating), cream / lotion / body gel, hand and foot cream. Not to mention balm shampoo and shower gel.
Plus a few more combs and hairpin-gum. And this is only the minimum set of what should be in a cosmetic bag, which is stored at home.
Decorative cosmetics
Now let's look at the necessary minimum of decorative cosmetics in a home beauty case. All girls love to get new things for beauty, sometimes useful and really necessary, sometimes not very, but nobody can do without “whales”. What should be in every cosmetic bag?
Face primer
To even out the skin and hide minor imperfections (uneven tone, pigmentation, enlarged pores), add shine, you need a special base for makeup. From a certain age, one cream applied in front of the foundation becomes insufficient. In addition, one does not always want to overload the skin with a tonic with a high matting coating, or it is needed only locally. The primer will help to cope with this, in addition, correctly selected, it will extend the durability of your makeup.
Tone
Even lovers of naturalness should not shrug off the tonal or bb / ss cream. Walking with a “naked” face is now much more harmful than with a layer of makeup. No one forces you to apply tons of “plaster”, while a cream that is suitable in color and type will protect the skin from the negative effects of the environment. If you choose a color tone, then the tool will become completely invisible, and your face - more well-groomed.
Powder
Alternative to foundation or makeup remover. There are completely colorless ones - a great option for those who like naturalness: both oilyness is under control, and is invisible on the face, and the skin is protected. What should be in the makeup bag yet?
Concealer
A magic wand that helps mask imperfections. Vary in texture and color. They are hard and creamy, the latter are suitable for delicate skin around the eyes, as they dry less. Choose the right color of the product depending on the problem: green masks redness (including pimples), purple - pigmentation, yellow - circles under the eyes and veins, pink - to refresh the face, but you need to be careful with it, not everyone fits. White covers the traces of post-acne and moles. Corporal are universal. Ideally, have a few suitable for you.
Mascara
Everything is clear here. Not all eyelashes are bright and dark, but I want to highlight the eyes. Using mascara, you can adjust the bend, length, add volume. After a couple of brush strokes, any girl becomes, if not a queen, then a princess for sure.
Shadows
An irreplaceable thing in everyday basic makeup, and in the evening. Ideally, have several palettes, for every day and for special occasions or parties: a beige palette and dark shades for drawing dramatic arrows or smokey ice.
Lipstick or lip gloss
What to choose depends on personal preferences. Someone prefers light translucent textures, someone - a dense coating. But there should also be several shades: for every day and for a way out. Do not forget that red goes to everyone, you just need to find your color.
Lip balm
Indispensable in cold weather, when the delicate skin of the lips often winds. It will help to quickly put your lips in order and will not let aggravate the situation.
Also in the beauty case there should be assistants for creating beauty: a powder brush, a beauty blender or sponges, eye shadow brushes, cotton pads and cotton buds.
Of course, this is not all that should be in a cosmetic bag. Each utility list is for itself. Many people consider mastheads still blush, pencils or eyebrow shadows , eyeliner , but all this is already at will.
Road
A properly assembled travel cosmetic bag is just as important as a home beauty case. What must be in a cosmetic bag, and without what you can do? Basically, your choice will depend on the duration of the voyage.
The main mistake of the majority is to take everything with you on the road, as a result, instead of a small compact cosmetic bag, you get another roomy bag.
Of course, you can not do without makeup for your face, your favorite shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. However, do not take full-size bottles. Buy a special set for travelers and transfer / transfer your favorite products into miniature bottles. This will significantly save space in your luggage and will weigh much less.
You can also do with hydrophilic oil or a remover.
A deodorant, a pack of wet wipes, a minimal set of cosmetics (tone, mascara, concealer, lipstick or gloss), a nail file, tweezers and a comb - all you need.
I carry everything with me
Each girl in the bag has another miniature handbag with those little things that she needs. Sometimes these babies are more reminiscent of trunks in which you can find completely unpredictable objects. What should be in the cosmetic bag that we throw in the bag?
Powder box with a mirror, lipstick or lip balm, matting and wet wipes, nail file, several cotton pads and sticks. You can put a pad or swab just in case and painkillers. Minimize your favorite eau de toilette if you like a refreshing scent. Compact little comb. This is what a girl in a cosmetic bag should have every day.
Carry mascara, eye shadow, blush, tonalnik, if you do not plan to spend the night in an office or university, you do not need. It is unlikely that you will use them.
