Cosmetics may not be really necessary to some but to most girls, especially college girls, consider make ups as essentials. So here’s a list of the five things that girls must stuff in the make up bags they bring with them all the time. ;)

Powder. When you get oily because of the activities you’ve done, you need to touch up a little.
Tip: Use brush to apply powder instead of sponge. And always put on powder over your make up (especially foundation) because it would make the make up look more subtle.

Blush. You don’t want to look pale and dead when you see your crush around, right?
Tip: Choose the shade that flatters your skintone. And apply it in a way that it will flatter the shape of your face. For example, if you have an oval-shaped face, simply apply blush onto the apples of your cheeks. For square face, put blush on the apples of the cheeks, then sweep the blush towards your temples. Also, dust some blush from your chin to just below your ears.

Lipstick. You’ll go a very long way if you put lipstick on. It gives your face a little “pop”.
Tip: If you use nude lipstick, put a concealer under it. It will look more natural and it will last longer.

Lipgloss. You can either wear this alone of use it as a top coat of your lipstick. A little gloss on your lips makes a big difference.
Tip: If you have thick lips, go for lighter shades of lipgloss. For thin lips, shiny pinks and reds will make your lips look full.

Eyeliner. Even without eyeshadow, your eyes will look more alive with this.
Tip: Liquid eyeliner should only be used above the top lashes. It is best to use a pencil or eyeshadow under the lower lashes.

Of course you can bring other stuff, too. But these are the ones that I recommend you to always bring with you. Foundations, concealers, mascarras and the like are some of the make ups that you only need to apply before you go. Putting too much of those would make your face look cakey. As for mascarra, applying it more than twice a day would just make your lashes look chunky and unpretty.

Make up tips soon. :)
