Capsule Makeup Bag



In a perfect world, there would be a makeup tree at the bottom on the garden, with leaves full of all the latest products  our hearts desire.

*POP *
That right there is me bursting my own bubble! 


So back to the real world ...  Fortunately it is possible to achieve many looks with a relatively small amount of makeup...


My basics

- Foundation
- Powder compact
- Bronzer
- Blush

3 eyeshadows
- Beige shimmer
- Mid brown
- Dark Charcoal

- Mascara
- Eye liner Pencil and Gel/Liquid eyeliner
(I would have a softer pencil, that could double up for the brows)

- Favorite Lipstick
- Lip liner
- Nude or clear gloss.

So with a flawless base using your favorite foundation, you can go from pinky blush cheeks, nude lips with a little shimmer under your bottom lashes for a day look. To a feline flick complimented by a shocking red lipstick for a striking night look. Or really go all out and don the smokey eye with a shiney lip gloss and a lovely sun kissed complexion.

Over the next couple of weeks after these unfortunate blemishes have disappeared from my face, I'm going to do a face of the day ( FOTD ) using only my capsule makeup bag.
I will be posting them on my own page shortly. I'll try and include some step by step pictorials, that show the brushes I'm using.

Don't forget, even the best artist in the world would struggle on a uneven, neglected canvas. Look after your skin! Try and keep a good skin care regime, exfoliate once a week if possible to keep that fresh faced glow. And PLEASE drink your 7 glasses of water a day, we can totally tell when your telling porkies you know, the skin tells us everything.

Ta Ta for now
