If I took all my makeup with me, I would need to take 2 bags, but that’s not practical at all. I’ve narrowed it down to products that I need to retouch my makeup throughout the day. Carrying a few essential beauty items can save the day in a makeup malfunction.
- Lip balm: a must-have
- Pressed powder
- Your favorite lip products
