Listen Ladies, I know that you’re always wondering “What makeup should I keep in my bag for an evening out?” We all know it’s not easy stuffing 23 products into those Fabulous yet unusually tiny Marc Jacobs handbags, so hear are my suggestions for what I believe to be the most important.

1. Your lip color.
For touch ups, a colored gloss that corresponds with whatever lip color you have on at the moment. The great thing about a colored gloss is that you can confidently touch up your lips on the fly, without a mirror. Less pigment means you don’t have to apply perfectly. No one will notice if you go a little outside or inside your lip line. All they notice is a sexy healthy lip.

2. Your complexion.
Always toss a sheer powder or blot powder that is in a mirrored compact into your purse.
No one wants to have a greasy shine only a healthy glow. Mirrored compacts are best because as I’m sure you’ll agree, the “ladies room” trips get annoying as the night goes on.

3. The cure all…..brows, lips and eyes all in one!
Carry along deep brown eyeliner, why? well because if you rub your eyebrow powder out you can wing a quick fix with a brown pencil, if you smudge your shadow apply a small amount of your cure all pencil and lightly smudge with your finger to blend. It can even be used with light pressure to line the lips in an emergency!

Voilà! 3 simple products are really all you need!

If you’re not counting the Aspirin, tissues, mints, cash, ID and cell phone of course. Here’s to all my fellow magicians… Keep stuffing those tiny purses!

I have soooo many more tips, tricks and advice to follow. Check back soon for more.

Till next time!
