Another edition of What’s in the Bag, our recurring peek into the makeup bags of women whose routines we admire. This time we’re going family — sister-in-law edition.
The discipline of a daily-carry beauty bag tells you a lot about how someone uses makeup. Below are the categories that consistently turn up in the bags of women who actually need their makeup to work, all day, with no time for a redo.
Skin saver
A small tube of Egyptian Magic — see our review. Multi-use balm for cuticles, lips, and dry patches.
One color thing
A creamy nude or pinky-nude lip — versatile enough to work with the morning meeting and dinner. Black Honey is the perennial answer.
The fix-everything
Blotting papers and a small powder compact. The midday reset that costs nothing.
