What You’ll Find in My Makeup Bag for a Quick & Affordable Makeup Routine

Purple Star emoji 13 items
This is what I use on an everyday basis when it comes to my makeup. My makeup routine is quick and basic. And best of all, affordable! I tend to splurge on skincare vs makeup. The basis for great makeup is great skin or a great base.

Face

This is popular for a reason. I have acne spots, sun spots, and bags under my eyes as a mom. This covers it all and blends well.
Hydrating Camo Concealer

This blends well, and I like that you can build the coverage, whether you want a light layer or more. My skin reacts well to this, and it doesn’t break me out. It wears well, and it doesn’t pull or settle into fine lines.
Soft Glam Foundation - Medium Coverage

This is in my rotation of foundation when I want something with a little lighter coverage. It’s buildable if I want a little more, but I feel like my face can breathe better in this. It feels very light.

I love these bronzer sticks. They’re so easy to use and show up great. I use a beauty blender to blend them in. Laguna Beach is my go to as a peachy pale skin tone.

As someone who is pale with peachy undertones, I use the light pink powder. This stuff is fantastic. It’s light and doesn’t crease. It helps set my make up and keep the shine at bay.

This does exactly what it says it does. My skin looks so smooth after I set my makeup with this. I have oily skin and this helps. I’m starting to prefer this over the loose ELF setting powder.

I love these for the ease and quickness. Just a couple swipes, blend, and you’re good to go! I love these sticks in the French Violet color. It’s my go to.
Clean Eye Color Eyeshadow Sticks

I don’t like heavy, goopy mascara. This is lightweight and doesn’t goop or clump. Plus I’m horrible at remembering I’m wearing mascara and rub my eyes; this never smudges. It’s a perfect, simple mascara.

I love the selection of eyeshadow sticks Colourpop has. They have so many colors, and they’re pigmented, so a little goes a long way!

These are marketed as a multi-use stick - eyeshadow, liner, and primer. Hence, the pointed tip versus rounded like other eyeshadow sticks, which allows you to be more precise if needed. I’ve only worn these as eyeshadows. They wear well, and the colo...

Lips

These are so cool! It’s a pH reactive lipgloss, so the color is unique to you. I find mine changes or is more intense, the more I slather on. I love these for a slight tint to my lips versus a lipstick.
