Makeup Bag Must-Haves

It might not be spring, but your makeup bag could do with some spring-cleaning. We tend to accumulate trendy, fad-worthy, makeup over time. But they aren’t really products you use on a daily basis. If you think about it, you only need a few, versatile products, to create a diverse multitude of looks. Source Beauty is here to provide you with some inspiration to guide you on your path to building the perfect makeup bag.

Even if you aren’t wearing anything else, frame your face properly. A good eyebrow gel can transform your look in seconds. So if you’re in a rush this is the perfect way to look groomed in a flash.

Eyeliner: Luna, Eyeliner
Some girls prefer liquid or gel liners to pencils. However, pencils are much easier to control, and can create a variety of looks, and can also be used on your waterline. Anything from cat eyes, to smokey eyes, a good pencil liner can do it all.

Mascara: Luna, Volumizer Mascara Black
Mascara opens up your eyes and completes any look. Depending on the occasion you can build up the application. Go for a waterproof one if you want your mascara to last from day tonight.
