Top 10 Beauty Products

Most women carry their bank cards, credit cards, cash, driver’s license and other items in her handbag. There are also many multi-functional beauty products that every woman should carry in her handbag in case of a beauty emergency. Most women have the need to look in a mirror to check their makeup at some point in the day or night. There are some products that a woman should always have in her handbag just in case she needs them.

Foundation

Foundation is the first part of the make up application process. You should be sure that you find the perfect foundation for your skin type and color. The right type of foundation should even out your skin tone and give you a natural looking complexion. Foundation should never change your skin color, and it should never look like you are really wearing it. Foundation should be an item that you carry in your purse in case you need a touch up throughout the day or night.

Concealer

Concealer is a great product to hide flaws on your face, such as those dark circles under your eyes, blemishes on your face, and other skin imperfections you may have. You should never use concealer as you would foundation, but only on those problem areas on your skin. For example, it is great to cover that red pimple that has just popped up on your face. The color of the concealer should match your skin tone, and be applied either with a small brush or your fingertips and should be blended into the skin.

Powder

Carrying powder in your handbag is a must for most women. Powder is very helpful when used alone to replace foundation, or to touch up your face. The color of the powder that you use is important, and should be a light texture to give you a natural look. A good powder can be used in place of foundation if you do not have any on hand, and works great in an emergency situation. People with oily skin should especially use powder on their face.

Eyeliner and Mascara

You can instantly brighten up your eyes by applying eyeliner and mascara to them, and these are two items you should always carry with you. Eyeliner does not always last all day, and many times it should be refreshed. Adding mascara finishes the job and you will make you look and feel like a new person.

Bobby Pins

Every woman should have a few sets of decorative or plain bobby pins in her purse. They can be used in many different emergency situations. You can use them to hold back flyaway hair, to hold your headband in place, or even to hold your pants or shirt together if you lose a button. There are many other things that bobby pins can be used for also. They are so small and do not take very much room in your purse.

Neutral Shade Lipstick

A neutral shade cream lipstick can not only be used on your lips, but can also be used on cheeks and eyes in case of an emergency. If it is a cream lipstick, you can easily blend it wherever it is applied. If you carry a small purse and do not have room for all of your makeup, a cream lipstick can go a long way and take the place of a lot of products.

Clear Nail Polish

Clear nail polish can be used if you notice one of your nails starting to chip. It can also be used for many other things, such as to stop a run in your pantyhose, stop a button from coming loose, or to brighten up jewelry. Applying clear nail polish on your nails will not fix the color, but it will stop the rest of your nail polish from continuing to chip away. Applying it to a run in your hose will stop the run completely. You can even apply it to costume jewelry to brighten it up.

Baby Wipes

You can purchase baby wipes in small packages that are perfect to slip into your handbag. They are great to use to clean your hands after you eat, and can also be used to clean your desk, clean your shoes, or to remove your makeup if you need to apply it fresh again. There is nothing worse than having sticky hands after you eat, or when you notice your makeup needs to be redone. If you have some baby wipes in your purse, you can easily rectify those sticky or messy situations. Simply wipe your hands, or clean the makeup from your face with a baby wipe and reapply it.

Compact Mirror

Every woman needs a mirror to check her makeup, teeth, or hair, and this should always be present in a purse. You will never have to wonder if your makeup looks okay, or if you have some food stuck in your teeth after eating lunch or dinner if you have a compact mirror in your purse. Simply pull out your small compact mirror and check your appearance wherever you are. You will never have to be embarrassed again if someone tells you there is something stuck between your teeth or that your hair or make-up does not look good.

Hand Sanitizer

Hand sanitizer can go a long way in killing germs throughout the day. Think about the grocery cart you grab at the store and how many people before you have touched it, for example. Hand sanitizer can protect you from the many germs that you come in contact with each and every day. You can purchase hand sanitizer in very small bottles that can easily fit into any handbag that you own.

A woman’s purse is one of a woman’s most prized possessions, and it is worth more than she may think. This item is more than just an accessory that can make an outfit look cute, but it also holds a women’s must have items when she is on the go. Most women carry their handbag with them everywhere they go, and it is very helpful to make sure you have the right contents in your bag in case of emergencies.
