Summer Etiquette: Makeup Bag Must-Haves

The change of seasons is a great reminder for us to refresh our makeup and skincare products.  After all, our beauty routine varies depending on the climate and how we’ll be spending the day. Keep a strategically filled cosmetic bag easily accessible at a moment’s notice to ensure you will be ready. I love swapping mine out with something bright and cheery for warmer temps…

Summer Etiquette: Makeup Bag Essentials

  • Bronzer or Blush – Make a light sweep over your cheeks on hot days or when going out with your friends after work.
  • Blotting Paper – A must when temperatures start to rise.
  • Concealer – Handy for everything from a quick touch up to covering a bruise.
  • Comb or Brush – To tame your wild locks after a breezy outdoor lunch meeting.
  • Eye Shadow and Liner – When your eyes need a midday pick-me-up.
  • Hand Sanitizer – Never leave home without it!
  • Lip Gloss – A bare necessity when it comes to makeup, alone or over your favorite lipstick.
  • Mascara – Reapply for a fresh evening look.
  • Powder with SPF – A perfect combination for flawless skin and protection for your face from the sun.
  • Sunscreen – Apply throughout the day. Cover any part of your body that comes in contact with the sun.

A Few Extras… Safety Pin, Aspirin, Hand Lotion, Vitamin Pack, Favorite Scent, and Mints.
