I am trying to update my make up bag when i decided to write this post, as a lady there are important items that should be found in your makeup bag, it doesn't necessarily mean you have to break the bank to get them, there are the expensive items and the not so expensive ones, but go with whatever walks for you, now back to my list

1.  Compressed powder : This is the first on my list because it means the world to me, i go everywhere with it, i have a very oily skin, still trying to find out what works best for me, i will definitely update you all on my progress.
2. Foundation :  A good foundation works magic, knowing your skin type is very important when buying a foundation.
3. Concealer: this is used to cover up spot and blemishes, break out, acnes, it gives the face a smooth look.
4. Eyeliner: Having an eyeliner helps out in moments when you want to enhance the look of your eyes, or want to step up your make up from day to night, it also makes the eye appear bigger.
5. Mascara: i have scanty and short lashes , so this is also very important for me, it gives my eye lashes the fullness i am looking for.
6. Lipstick: they give you this effortless sexy look, turning your general makeup from plain to fabulous with just applying them to your lips.
7. Brow pencil : Filling, Defining , emphasizing , shaping can all be done with brow pencils, they come in different shades, the most important thing is use the one close to your eyebrow color.
