I don’t typically carry makeup with me, since I’m rarely out for that long. If I know I’m going to be gone awhile, then I usually take one or two lip colors that I want to test for that day. Otherwise, my staples are lip balm (Jack Black) and a Bobbi Brown High Shimmer Lipgloss (shade varies).

-Battered tube of Locoid (weak steroid cream for eczema)
-Burts Bees Lipgloss in Rosy Dawn
-Labello Vitamin Smoothie lip balm
-Burts Bees tinted lip balm in Hibiscus

-A pen (black)
-Business cards from a recent conference visit (4)

LOL 😀 A cleanout might be in order…
😀
I always have hand lotion, Yu-Be lip balm, a mini translucent powder, mini mirror, and a capped kabuki brush. Then I take whatever eyeliner and lip color I’m wearing that day. Sometimes a shadow single too if I’m going to be gone 6+ hours.
I don’t carry a makeup bag either.But I keep several lipsticks and glosses in my purse. Currently:MAC Evolution Revolution gloss,YSL golden gloss, Nars Babe gloss, Loreal Volcanic lipstick, MAC Sheer Seduction and Mystical lipsticks. Just in case, lol!
This is an unfair question as I store most of my cosmetic in bags. My handbag however holds 80% of my lippies. That’s way too many. I seriously tote around a sack of lipsticks with a wallet, cell phone, and keys and nothing else! Not even powder!
I just cleaned mine out and in the process managed to reclaim around 10 lip products that found their way in there…oops. My major major always-haves are UD De-Slick powder with brush, NARS Multiple in Portofino, the sad remains of my last Cle de Peau concealer, a Fresh Sugar balm or two (Petal definitely), Boscia blotting papers, and Lancome Juicy Tubes. My eye makeup is apocalypse-proof so I never need touchups there, and lipsticks/glosses accumulate like mad, but those are my big ones!
Oh, and L’Occitane hand cream…that gets a lot of use in the winter!
I only carry the lip products I’m wearing.
At the moment, Milani lipstick in tea rose, Flower gloss in baby’s breath, hard candy lashaholic mascara, duo lash glue, WnW mega liquid liner in black, pixi peach corrector, and a random pressed powder that I can’t remember.
Lanolips Banana balm(lip balm),Nars Torrid,MAC Studio fix powder,YSL Rouge Volupte in Peach Passion,Sigma F80,NYX Butter in Creme Brulee,L’Oreal Color Riche lipcolor in Tropical Coral,Palladio Rice paper Powdered blotting tissues,some Q tips cotton I have mini makeup bag with me everwhere but lipsticks are change depend on my mood and makeup. I’ll think about to try Jack Black lip blam too!
Let’s seeeee… ::looks in bag::
Urban Decay Perversion cream eyeliner
Urban Decay Naked Skin liquid foundation in 0.5
Urban Decay 24/7 concealer pencil in CIA
Urban Decay (I see a pattern…) 24/7 pencil liners in Perversion, Deep End and Cuff

Revlon lash curler
Couple of Revlon lip glosses
Benefit Gimme Brow
MAC Fashion Fix eyeshadow (my go-to brow filler)
EcoTools angled liner brush
MAC 187, 190 and 119
The only time I carry makeup with me is if I’m going to a dinner in which case I’ll take whatever lipstick I’m wearing for touch-ups. I have a clear balm in the car and a Lip Butter at work for a moisture fix anytime, anywhere.
I’ve a coral lipstick, a coral gloss, my eyeliner and an eye lash curler on my bag now! 🙂
These are the staple items I keep in my makeup bag (which I keep in my tote that I carry almost every day)…
Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in STINGRAY

Too Faced Perfect Lips Lip Liner in PERFECT NUDE
Elizabeth & James mini rollerball in NIRVANA WHITE

Tweezerman Zip nail file
pair of small nail clippers

travel bottle of Pepto-Bismol To-Go
the only items that get “rotated out” are lip colors…..I currently have a CoverGirl Colourlicious Lip Gloss in GIVE ME A GUAVA and UD’s Revolution Lipstick in NAKED in there…..
Great question…..BTW!!!
Because we were gone for a long day yesterday, I had (still have) Jack Black lip balm (we were at the lake so sun protection was vital), Rimmel mattifying powder, Bite lipstick, IT lipgloss, a pencil liner and a sample tube of sunscreen.
Well, right now I’m not carrying any with me 🙂 but I usually carry pressed powder, my blush of the day, concealer, lip liner, lipstick and a makeup sponge to correct anythinh throught the day and I use it to reapply the blush as needed.
I used to have a short handled MAC 129 brush for my bag, but I don’t remember what I did with it.
Mine is quite boring as I don’t tend to bring much makeup around with me, it all stays on quite well so no need to carry foundations, eyeshadows, blush etc. I have Sephora’s blotting films, MAC’s Blot Powder (see a theme here lol), Mac’s Watch Me Simmer lipstick (all time fave that I use sparingly because it was LE), Mac’s Gold Mirror lip glass and that’s it!
I have got my Bobbi Brown touch up face pallete, Bobbi Brown pot rouge, a mini UD black eyeliner pencil, a bronze cream eyeshadow by Maybelline and a Dior lip balm.
Lip balm, Mac Cremesheen glass in Over Indulgence and Clinique lipstick in Pure Posh.
A couple of eyeliners, including an emerald green one I should probably put away and a black one that needs a sharpen, cotton-buds/Q-tips (for cleaning up mascara mishaps), about eight lipsticks, the tiny UD lipgloss that came with my Naked 2 (I like it because it’s minty, are there any other minty glosses out there?), a Rimmel mascara and lipliner and a ton of pens and my earphones which don’t really belong in there but get lost in my bag otherwise. Plus breath freshening cardamom pods and TicTacs to bribe my son with.
The Marc Jacobs lip glosses seemed pretty minty when I tried them on 🙂
My Makeup Bag Includes:
-Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer
-L’Oreal True Match Foundation in “W1”
-Nyx HD Photogenic Concealers in “Yellow” and “Fair”
-Nyx HD Studio Finishing Powder
-Nyx Matte Bronzer in “Light”
-Nyx Blush in “Peach”
-Urban Decay Primer Potion
-Urban Decay Shadow’s: Buck, Sin, and Virgin
-Maybelline The Falsies Flared in “Blackest Black”
-MAC Lipstick in “Angel”
-Andrea “Black 33 Lashes”
-Duo Adhesive Lash Glue
These are some of my favorites at the moment 🙂
Phew, a lot of things, I definitely make the day to night transition often, (this week I had a 20 hour day!!!), so I bring everything I need to touch up my makeup. It’s actually in a pretty small bag but it seems like a large list, LOL. The blush, eyeshadows, and lipstick are changed daily.
So here’s my list: Hakuhodo J5543 Brush, Hourglass Mood Exposure Blush, Loreal Lineur Intense Felt Tip Liquid Liner in Brown & Black, MAC Studio Fix Powder, MUFE Aqua Shadow 32E, Mac 2 pan refillable eyeshadow palette with Orb & Swiss Chocolate, Benefit Leggy Velvet Eyeshadow, D&G Passion Eyes Mascara Travel Size, Milani Shadow Eyez in Almond Cream, UD 24/7 Eye Pencil in Zero & Demolition, Eyeshadow Smudge Brush, Eyeshadow Application Brush, Pointed Q-Tips, Boscia Lavender Blotting Linens, Guerlain Rouge G Gracia, and Jack Black Lip Balm.
Because I have oily skin and need to touch up throughout the day I carry quite a bit of makeup in my cosmetics bag. A small bottle of foundation, UD’s Deslick face powder, a UD eyeliner, a primer, UD Naked palette, a few lipsticks, mascara and a few eye shadow brushes. My bag probably weighs a pound or more.
Same… Don’t have nor carry any. If I do, pick one of the original Multiple (wearing Malibu to death lately), or any moisturizing lipstick. MUFE Artisan being my favorite right now. That and Lanolin or Bepanthene to mousturize my lips.
I have the day’s choice of lip color, a lip balm, Vera Wang’s Princess rollerball, and an e.l.f. makeup correcter pen in case I find my eyeliner down around my chin.
Clinique Chubby Stick in Super Strawberry
Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Aventure
Norwegian Formula lip balm
Shiseido blotting papers
L’Occitane hand cream
Mirror compact
Mini deodorant
Mini hair brush, elastic band and hair grips
I always keep a makeup bag in my handbag that contains lip primer, MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation, Estee Lauder Zodiac compact (Aries), gold retractable lip brush, and the lip liner, lipstick, and/or lip gloss I am wearing that day.
Sometimes if I’m running late, I will do my makeup at work (shh…don’t tell anyone). So right now I have Armani Lasting Silk foundation, NYX Setting Powder, Almay mascara, Reviva primer, and L’Oreal Blur blush in Berry (I think?). I also forgot my makeup bag at work on Friday. D’oh!
I only carry Lip Balm around… but I have a lot of that. Currently I have Shiro Why Not Zoidburg?, Burts Bees Classic, Shiro Nyan Cat, Silk Naturals Bitten, and Silk Naturals B52. The last of which is actually a lipstick, but is still moisturizing enough to do in a pinch. Not that I’m likely to be in a pinch with four other lip balms on me.
I carry a teeny tiny coin purse I use as a makeup bag for my essentials – Jack Black Lip Balm, compact, Boscia blotting tissues and the teeny L’Occitane Hand Cream. I hate a disorganized purse so I just carry that coin purse and my wallet in my purse.
Guerlain Les Voilettes pressed powder, By Terry Baume de Rose, MUFE liquid lipstick #1, the Balm Plump your Pucker in Tutti my Frutti, Dior Huile Abricot, tweezers, blotting papers and a Sephora retractable lip brush.
i usually only carry oil blotting sheets & mac blot powder for my oily skin along with whatever lip color i’m wearing that day for touch ups. sometimes i’ll bring along a pencil eyeliner or concealer if i’m going to be out all day and have an eye look or blemish that may need touching up.
This is what I keep in my makeup bag:
Chanel prèsage cream blush
Dior crème de rose lip balm
Chanel mélodieuse
Other lipstick I wear that day
L’Occitane hand cream
I normally do my makeup on the go, in the car (when I’m not the driver!!! :D) Or once I’m in the office etc., so I carry quite a lot.. a little ashamed actually!! ahah!

I don’t carry a makeup bag, either as I can’t be bothered to touch-up my face throughout the day. However, I do carry one lip product because my lips get very dry: BiteBeauty BB for lips in Flush =)
I don’t really carry makeup with me either as I rarely, if ever, need to touch up. I do have a makeup bag that I use to store my everyday stuff but since this question seems to imply things I actually have in my purse I won’t list the million things in that bag. I do however keep a little coin purse for lipsticks. Right now I have Jack Black Shea Butter lip balm, Tarina Tarantino Floriculture, and Mac Red Balloon.
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder, a powder brush, Nivea Lip Balm and Rimmel Lipstick in Airy Fairy. Just what I needed yesterday for touch ups.
Since my make-up fills at least three drawers, I only carry around the lipstick I’m wearing that day. My make-up stays on pretty well, but I also carry around a cottonbud in case a get any eye makeup smudges.
Several lipsticks, eyeliner pencil, blush, blotting papers, powder in a compact. I think that’s all.

I adore mini products. They keep my bag from getting unreasonably heavy. 🙂
My 3 favourite lipsticks: Rimmel Temptation, She Desert Sun and a YSL orangey-coral one. A comb, perfume of the day and that’s about it.
Mascara, Lauder powder, Covergirl shadow Knock out pink, and silver lilac, and Maybelline fuschia flash lipstick, gum and a phone card.
Lots of lippies. I carry a brow pencil and Maybelline Fit me concealer, but mainly, lots of lip balms and lipsticks. I always add the lip product i’m wearing that day, but never take out the ones that are already in my bag.
My 5 cents 🙂
MAC Prep+Prime transparent finishing powder compact (mostly serves as a mirror during my work days)
MAC lipstick in Hue (this changes everyday, but today it is my tried and true Hue :))
Lush Lip Balm “Whipstick”
The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector
Caudalie small Grape Water
Don’t like carrying a lot in my bag and usually get by without touchups (except lipsticks, of course) till the end of the day.
It depends on what I’ll be doing. I always have my Chanel blotting sheets. and the lipstick of the day.
If I’m going to a party I’ll also have lashglue and some toothpicks and a tweeser to fix things if they should happen to get unglued. An eyeliner, and pressed powder. Of course the lipstick is also in there.
I just cleaned my bag yesterday to start the week with minor weight possible. In my little necessaire I put Nyx Stay Matte but not Flat Foudation Powder, MAC 129 Brush and MAC Captive (lipstick I am wearing today).
