the make up bag: the lazy diva make up kit

the bare essentials : MAC Studio Fix Liquid,  And Concealer, in Nc45; Mac Mineralise Skinfinish in Soft And Gentle; Mac Blush in Peachtwist; BYS Baked High Shine Bronzer in Golden Shimmer, Mac Zoom Fast Black Lash in Black. Eyeliners: - bourjois (turquoise), shisedo, revlon (eyebrow pencil), mac (purple liner). no idea where i got the green or what brand it is. 

so in chatting to one of my gfs, she grumbles: "it's not that i hate make up... im just lazy as feq. make it simple for me!" challenge accepted. look, i get it. with the thousands of youtube gurus out there with arsenals of tools, potions and lotions, make up can seem daunting to a new comer, or even to someone who just wants to keep it simple. so, after conducting a quick survey (read:asking friends on facebook) i've come up with a very minimal list of products and tools for the lazy, or shall we say minimalist diva.

To the start of a perfect summer!

summer is almost here! finally! i'm sure you're busy pulling out your warm weather clothes and planning great outfits for this season. one summer look that never goes out of style is the staple summer white. while you can stick to the classics like white linen trousers, how about turning things up a notch this year - switch out your linen pants for crisp white denim. or how about wearing a LWD (little white dress) and instead of the LBD? keep it casually chic with a great pair of flats and statement jewellery. its the perfect outfit for a light summer lunch and wear it with this years trending colours: saturated shades of coral, teal, and water mellon. think bright and juicy hues. be sure to use sunscreen and apply bronzer for that healthy sunkissed glow

Coco Chanel once said, “I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.” I  agree with her. you never know how your day would turn out. i dont know if I'd meet my soulmate or arch nemesis, but i do know that i will be looking fabulous! FAB. U. LOUS! (snap*)
A major part of pulling your look together is your make up, but so many of my friends complain that they don't even know where to start. so i'm stripping it all down to the basics. 
the products i included are all part of my personal collection and are the foundation of my make up bag ( more like suitcase but who's judging!). anything else is extra. lets get started.
