Essentials

This post is a list of what every girl needs in her makeup bag. Even if you don't wear a lot of makeup, there are still the essentials that every girl needs. It is always good to have different tools to create different looks. Because well, It's boring to wear the same look everyday. :p

• Foundation. Be it liquid or powder. It is a key ingredient for every girl. Even if you don't wear it everyday, it is really good to have for days when you have lots of redness, uneven skin tone etc. I won't say much much since I already covered foundation basics in my first post.
• Concealer. As I have said before it is the one makeup product you should buy name brand. You will be so glad you have it when an unexpected blemish pops up right before a big event. How to apply it and more information on concealer is posted here.
• Black liquid eyeliner. To use liquid eyeliner is hard to apply correctly and will take some practice, however it is essential. You can create a lot of dramatic looks and even use it for drawing. Sounds weird right? Well it won't when Halloween comes around and don't have a costume. ;)
• Black eyeliner pencil. While it's good to have other color eyeliners, black is the best to help your eyes to stand out and my signature look always has black eyeliner on my waterline. I just like how my eyes look and how they are redefined.
• Makeup Brushes. There are just 5 brushes that are the most important: blush brush, flat eyeshadow brush, Kabuki brush, blending brush, and concealer brush.
• Lip stick/Lip Gloss. My mom always told me my makeup looked "unfinished" because I didn't have any lip gloss or lip stick on. She would always say "put on some lips." You always want to put something on your lips because if you don't your makeup looks as if something is missing. And in most cases it pulls the whole makeup look together.
• Pearl White eyeshadow. If you don't wear eyeshadow usually I still do suggest that you do have this. For the inner corners of your eyes and just for a touch of color on your eyelids to brighten them up a bit. Also as in my last post to help accentuate your lips. ;)
• Mascara. This has to be the most important since even if you hardly wear any makeup you should at least wear this. It helps bring out your eyes and makes them pop and choosing one can be a tricky cause.
• Highlighter/Face Illuminator. Ever wonder how celebs get that beautiful glow? They use highlighters but of course! ;) This is one of my favorite products to use. I love the effect it give and how beautiful it looks in pictures! :) I use Wet n Wild Mega Glo
• Tweezers. Every woman should own a pair of tweezers. To tame those monstrous eyebrows :p I recommend Tweezer Man they are the best and the sharpest. Other cheap brands I have tried hardly can grasp the hair. Tweezer Man tweezers get the job done.

If you are on a budget (like me) build your makeup collection with time. Don't go buy everything at once and spend a fortune. Also you should buy a new mascara every 3 months to keep from getting an eye infection.
