Makeup in the Purse- HOW DO YOU DO IT?
Kind and gentle folk! Some of you are wearers of makeup!
Kind and wise elders, TELL ME WHAT YOU USE TO DO MAKEUP ON THE GO!
Background: I'm seeing someone regularly, which means we're living together in two apartments. I frequently get up from spending the night at his place and head out without stopping at my place, which means that the makeup that lives in my purse is the makeup that I put on regularly.
Right now, that means: a set of two cheap little eyeshadow brushes, a cream blush from Revlon with a little mirror in it, a dark brown powder that doubles as eyebrow liner and eyeshadow (from an Etsy vendor), and an eyeshadow compact with several complementary colors, from Revlon.
What works for you? What do you advise against? What's a great product that you can sneakily use for two things (cream blush and lip gloss!)

(Anonymous) 2011-06-01 12:31 am (UTC)(link)When I need to do makeup on the go I keep it as simple as possible. I usually take one colour of eyeshadow and a brush, a packed powder compact, mascara and a relatively neutral lipstick colour. When I only put on one shade of eyeshadow it's almost always this pale silvery colour I got as a free sample at Sephora, I tend to think that dark eyeshadow needs to have a highlight colour as well or one just looks really tired. When I'm really busy I skip the lipstick and eyeshadow altogether and just use mascara and powder. It's not a great idea to put something on your lips that isn't intended for lips, there are different standards for what chemicals etc. can be in lipstick as compared to other makeup. Hope that was helpful!
