Makeup is a girl’s best friend
Whether a teenage girl, a college going girl, a working woman, or a mother, when we are out, we want to look our best. No matter wherever we go, we always carry a small hand bag, a clutch or a potli bag matching our style quotient.
These days you have a wide choice of face refreshers. You can use them to instantly cleanse and make your face fresh to give it a glow. If you can’t find one, then just take a few clean cotton pads and a small bottle of rose water with you.

You must always carry a sunscreen with you. If you don’t want to carry a big tube of sunscreen, then put a small amount of it in a small, clean and dry case or bottle. Make sure you sanitize your hands before you do. You can also carry a tinted moisturizer with SPF protection instead. For best reapply sunscreen depending on the SPF. This applies even if you work in an air conditioned office.
“Teen singing sensation Taylor Swift is a bigtime Kinerase fan. She attributes her flawless skin to its SPF and night cream.”, Taylor Swift>
You can always carry a small cover stick in your bag. That would be good if you have to by chance redo your makeup in the washroom and you’re under eyes look dull. But if you don’t have dark circles or you have a good blemish free complexion, then this is not a necessity.
It is the life of the makeup that you put on. ‘Foundation’, as the name is, actually lays the foundation for the rest of the makeup.
A foundation is a must in your bag. If not a foundation, then at least a small bottle of face primer is essential. This is especially important during the summer since your makeup tends to wear off due to sweat, and you might need a touch up every once in a while.
It’s a must as eye liners, no matter how smudge proof they claim to be will get smudged a little if areas around the eyes turn sweaty (especially if it’s summer and your skin is oily).
If you are not comfortable carrying the liquid eye liner in your bag, carry a pencil liner in your bag. Make sure it has a proper cap to cover it. It’s small and convenient.
Before bed, the Polishborn model uses Bioderma Créaline to cleanse and Kiehl’s Algae Masque to soothe her skin, before spritzing with rosewater and moisturising with Joëlle Ciocco Pure Concentrated Serum with Botanical Oils. Rubik is wellknown for her smudged eye liner (she only wears that and concealer on a regular day). It’s MAC Eye Kohl in Smolder, FYI. Anja Rublk
How can we forget an Indian woman’s love for kajal? It’s a tip top handy thing which you must always carry in your purse.
“I don’t wear base, as I don’t like to cover up my freckles, but I couldn’t live without YSL Touche Eclat for hiding my undereye circles. I love the smokyeye look, so I use Dior’s 5Colour Eyeshadow in Night Dust and lashings of mascara. I finish with a dash of bronzer for a healthy glow.” Eva Green

Whenever you eat or drink something, your liner is the first thing which wears off. I am sure you have gone through such incidents. So always carry your lip liner with you wherever you go, you never know when you may need some touch ups.
With the liner, the lipstick also fades off whenever you eat or drink something. That is why; always carry your favorite shade with you. You don’t want to carry a lip-brush with you, just apply the stick directly or with finger tips and blend well.
“I can’t see myself without pink lipstick. I can go without it for a couple days, but if there was no more pink lipstick in the world, I’d be useless.” – Nicki Minaj
If you are a fan of glossy lips, then even if you don’t want to carry a lipstick with you, carry the liner and lip-gloss. You can just swipe the gloss over your lips and get the flawless look.
These days, various cooling and cleaning tissues are available. Carry them wherever you go as you may need to wipe your face off the dirt, grime and sweat. This way, you can always keep your face dirt free.
Sometimes, you might want to redo the whole makeup from scratch. On such days, do carry your face wash.
If you really want to redo your make up or your makeup needs some touch up, you might want to carry a blush and a blush brush along with it.
If you like a matte finish then you might want to carry a compact powder with you.
If your lips easily become dry, carry a lip balm with you.
If you sweat a lot or you have a habit of rubbing your eyes and smudging your eye makeup, then you should also carry the eye shadow kit that you used to create the eye makeup look. Don’t try to change the color altogether ‘cause then you may end up with a makeup disaster.
Always carry a handkerchief or wet freshening tissues as already mentioned.
If you have a problem of body odour, don’t forget to carry a deo spray, a small perfume, or a roll on with you.
