I love the quick reference that Zoe Foster has for essential brushes

Makeup brushes

• Very accurate concealer brush – Bobbi Brown concealer brush
• Gel / cream liner and inner ‘V’ brush – MAC #209

I love the quick reference that Zoe Foster has for essential beauty products:

Handbag

• 1 x concealer OR foundation stick that doubles as a concealer
• 1 x creme blush with a mirror, if possible
• 1 x black kohl / eyeliner
• 1 x lipstick of your choice
• 1 x nude gloss
• bobby pins
• hair elastic

Optional: A Travelo with your favourite frangrance. (Travalos are little aluminum bullets that you can pump you own fragrance into. They are magnificent.) Or make your own solid perfume: place some Vaseline into a small tin and spray in your scent, mixing it through the Vaseline as you do.

Makeup Kit

• 1 x foundation
• 1 x concealer
• 1 x blush (creme and powder)
• 1 x bronzer
• 1 x black eyeliner (pencil or gel)
• 1 x natural / brown eye shadow quad
• 1 x mascara
• 1 x nude gloss
• 1 x red (or pink – up to you) lipstick
• 1 x fluffy blush brush
• 1 x thin, angled liner brush
• 1 x mid-sized eye shadow brush
• 1 x brow pencil with brush / comb

Optional: Lash curler, illuminator (translucent or regular) powder, primer, coloured eye shadow to flatter your eye colour and all thebrushes listed in this post.

Bathroom cupboard

這是經過一批淘汰後，目前的樣貌。

其實可以再更精簡一點，
有些東西幾乎不太用 (像是假睫毛)，
有些東西要花點時間，把不太好用的東西慢慢消耗掉就是了。

首圖這兩支是女人修眉和拔粉刺的最好朋友。

平的拔眉、尖的夾粉刺(比青春棒不傷肌膚)

Tweezerman 是看Bobbi Brown的彩妝書推薦的，
