To keep looking your best on the busiest of days, here’s a list of eight beauty essentials every woman should keep in her bag. These will help you stay polished throughout the day and transform your look seamlessly to night.
Tweezers – Take care of stray hairs and keep your look polished. This little kit is great for on-the-go upkeep (and has a ton of other useful stuff!).
Mirrored Compact – Best with either bronzer or powder to touch up your face after a long day, a mirrored compact always comes in handy. This blush/bronzer combo takes care of two basics.
Eyeliner – To change your look from day to evening, carry a basic black liner and add some drama to your day look. Try this cat eye for major impact or draw in a basic line and smudge for a softer look.
Brightening Pencil – Use a brightener, like this one from Benefit, on the inner corner of your eyes and under your brow arch for an eye-brightening look. You can also use it on your cupid’s bow to make lips look fuller for a date night.
Lipstick – Keep a shade of lipstick that will double as cheek color (dab on lightly with your fingertips) on a day when you’re not looking as awake as you’d like. This will perk you up immediately.
Mints – Always an essential. Make sure they’re sugar-free. If they’re not, they’re only contributing to the problem. Keep that breath fresh!
Bottle of Water – Staying hydrated is important for feeling energized throughout the day. It also keeps your skin and lips looking healthy and bright.
Hair Tie – Take care of a bad hair day by pulling your hair up in a stylish chignon. Tame flyaways with a few drops from that water bottle.
