    My MUST haves are foundation to even out my skin tone and mascara as I have very pale, very short eye lashes and I like to look like I do actually have some! I do have other things (eye liner, eye shadow, blush, face powder and lipstick) but those are two things that I can't go without!

    Physician's formula face powder, because it has SPF15 and any lotion or foundation makes me feel smothered and also makes me break out. Essence's Kajal eyeliner is a dollar at Ulta and the smoothest I've ever used. Also, Cover Girl eyeshadow for a couple of bucks. And I love Ulta's lip pencil. It comes in a bunch of colors and you can get it on sale for pretty cheap (plus they last FOREVER). My entire makeup routine is less than two minutes.

    I'm boring - Great Lash mascara and Burt's Bees Pomegranate lip balm. That's about it.

    My "everyday" makeup bag keeps growing! I have:

    - primer
    - matte foundation (I also have a satin foundation, which I rarely use)
    - concealer (I would recommend liquid!)
    - Benefit Lemonaid CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT
    - under eye concealer
    - powder
    - eyebrow kit (includes colour and gel)
    - eyeshadow (I've got a large palette of neutral colours for doing natural smokey eyes, and highlighting, contouring and blusher!)
    - eyelash curlers
    - Max Factor mascara
    - Rimmel mascara
    - various lip balms
    - Benefit Benetint for a wash of pink on lips and cheeks
    - I also have around 5 lipsticks in there ranging from nudes to bright reds depending on the day

    I literally couldn't live without this! :laugh:

    I wear Everyday Minerals, it is Leaping Bunny certified mineral makeup, for everything but mascara and lip color. I have started wearing Motives lip color and this fruit based mascara. Also, certified cruelty free.
    That is all I need! I only carry the lip color with me. Everything else I can put on in the morning and it lasts all day long!

    I recently whittled mine down to just -

    Eyebrow pencil
    2 Lipsticks (One red, one more natural looking)
    Mascara
    Gel Liner
    Foundation
    Travel Size Moisturiser

    But if I had to only choose one, it would be the brow pencil :) Everyone looks better with groomed brows!

    Foundation
    This changes - I've tried nearly every brand going. I used to end up back with Max Factor, but now I'm with No.7.

    Bronzer
    Usually use this to help with shine and as 'blush'.

    Mascara
    Eyebrow pencil
    Brown eye shadow + brush
    Foundation brush - my hands are very sensitive, so this is a must!

    Usually I wear foundation and mascara and colour in my eyebrows as mine are very sparse. I occasionally make an effort. :tongue:

    ^this is a good tip but I wish I could remember the name of the girl I like. She's asian. That's all I can remember.

    As for foundation....it's our bread and butter and we carry like several lines so it's important to consider your skin type and needs when choosing one. When I go to the mall it takes a good long time to find a color to match me. Last time we went thru 4 lines to finally find me a good shade at Chanel. This time when I placed that order I told you about I made sure to get 2 bottles of my fave so as never to run out again.

    Another thing that can make it seem like you described above is the state your skin is in when you apply. Namely--exfoliate. Exfolation is important but not something to take lightly and frequency depends on your skin type. Dry skin girls less frequent, normal more, and oily ladies can work up to trying more frequency. This after cleansing and then proper toner and moisturizing gives the applied foundation a way to get on your skin in a more natural looking way. Try it next time you are around some exfoliator. Try exfoliating and moisturizing one hand and the other not. Then apply the foundation to both hands and see if there's a difference. Also you may be using a product that is too matte for your skin type.

    Is it Michelle Phan?
