What's in Your Emergency Makeup Kit?

So you're one of the many women who have a treasure trove of makeups that could serve a whole fashion week. But you can't lug them all in your purse for work or for a night out every now and then, right? So what's the next best thing? A Makeup Kit.

Every girl has a set in her makeup kit. They are supposed to be compact, simple, and light, but do you often find yourself having two lip sticks, three bronzers, and even a dozen lip glosses? They key to creating a handy kit is to pick the most versatile color palette.

Lips

You need three things: lip balm, lip color/stain/stick, and lip gloss. A stick of lip balm is fine, but choose one in a clear color. When packing a lip color, make sure that it's not too pale nor too red. Coral is a good choice. As for the lip balm, choose one that's a little tainted with color and that plumps your lips a little.

Eyes

Eye palettes sometimes include blushes or bronzers. It's actually a good investment since you already have shades that go well with each other in one small packet. 

Cheeks

You should only have two choices for your cheeks: bronze or flushed. So bring the color that you put on before you left your house, and replace it with a bronzer when you use it the next day.

Concealer

Under eye bags, pimples, uneven skin tone, rashes, you name it, your concealer can handle it. Pick the shade closest to your skin tone, and carry it with you at all times.

These are just the basics that you want to cover. You should also have mini brushes and applicators, a vial of perfume, tissue, and a hand sanitizer.
