Women's cosmetic bag: types
Women's cosmetic bags are so diverse that it is sometimes difficult to choose the right one for your needs. Stylists advise purchasing several of these accessories that will be suitable for a particular occasion. Here are the main types of cosmetic bags that every lady needs to purchase:
- Home– it has a medium size and many compartments with pockets. It easily holds creams and other cosmetical tools that make you look attractive and bright.
- Decorative– designed for women's bags. The small size allows you to take the most necessary items with you.
- Travel (beauty case)– ideal for travel. Such bags allow you to take with you not only decorative cosmetics, but also shampoos, masks and toothpastes.
Women's cosmetic bags have different designs. Many bag manufacturers offer fashionistas complete sets. Such items are perfectly combined with each other and are suitable for all young ladies who are attentive to their image.
The main function of cosmetic bags is to store the necessary products in the main bag. Do not overload this item with unnecessary creams, gels and shampoos. An overly stuffed cosmetic bag looks unattractive and flashy. Ideally, this item should remain invisible and arouse interest.
According to etiquette, it is not customary to take out a cosmetic bag in front of strangers and boys. That is why it is important to choose this accessory wisely, which will fit all cosmetics and at the same time it will take its place in the bag.
Of course, we will not be talking about the main cosmetic bag, which includes all your beauty products - otherwise we risk not fitting into the usual format - but about the cosmetic bag
“travelling”, which you take with you every day. For most women, a cosmetic bag serves as a container not only for cosmetics itself - it is also convenient to carry various necessary little things, for example, pills or feminine hygiene products. And yet, cosmetics, of course, takes first place here - that’s why it’s a “cosmetic bag”.
What should be included in your daily “gentleman’s kit”, that is, to be precise, “lady’s kit”?
- Small packaging should never leave your cosmetic bag. day cream for face(moisturizing in summer, nourishing in winter), suitable for your skin type. It will help you out if your skin has suffered from harmful climatic influences. Remember, for example, how your face burns and peels on a winter day when you come from the cold to a warm office! And immediately carry out the necessary cosmetic procedures there is no opportunity, and there will not be until the end of the working day. But a cream applied to the most problematic areas will help you “reanimate” your skin in an emergency. It's a good idea to carry hand cream with you - especially if you have a bad habit of forgetting gloves.
- Foundation and correcting pencil- of course, when you come to work in the morning “in full dress”, foundation and all decorative cosmetics should already be applied. But “foundation” can help if unexpected troubles arise, such as redness caused by skin irritation, or a sudden pimple. In addition, there are also “force majeure” situations - for example, if right after work you go to an unplanned meeting and you have to literally change your daytime makeup to evening makeup “on the fly.”
- Compact powder absolutely necessary both as a finishing touch to makeup and as a means of correction during the day - only with its help you can remove greasy shine from the nose and forehead and give the face an even, velvety tone. You can also add compact blush to the powder - if you use them.
- Pencil or eyeliner- you don’t have to carry everything with you at once, choose what you use most often. Of course, it is better to always be fully prepared, but this does not mean that your cosmetic bag should be the size of a suitcase. And if you want to prepare for any surprises, put two pencils in your makeup bag various shades- brown or gray for daytime makeup, black, blue or silver - in case of an unexpected date or invitation to visit.
- Mascara- it must be of high quality, best of all - waterproof and hypoallergenic. You should pay the closest attention to the properties of this cosmetic product - after all, unsuitable mascara can cause eye irritation, and if you are at work or participating in a business meeting, then we remind you that you will not have to start rehabilitation procedures soon.
- Eyeshadow Palette- again, you shouldn’t carry everything you have in your makeup bag, including eyeshadow with glitter that you only used once, on new year party. Take 2-3 shades that suit you best. And don't forget about convenient applicators to apply shadows.
- Lipstick - two shades are quite enough (for daytime and evening options makeup). You can add lip gloss - to add volume - or a pencil - if you prefer clear outlines. For a travel cosmetic bag, it is better to choose universal lipstick shades that match any color scheme - after all, you don’t wear the same thing every day. There is no need to add that lipstick, like mascara, should be the most High Quality, because lips and eyes are the central accents in makeup.
- Perfume- a miniature bottle of your favorite scent wouldn't hurt.
- Products for applying cosmetics- of course, you won’t be able to apply blush well, for example, if you don’t have a suitable brush, and powder is of little use if it doesn’t come with a powder puff.
- Makeup removers- don’t forget about cotton pads, cotton swabs and wet wipes for correcting makeup and removing excess.
- Other- in order to avoid minor troubles, it is better to take with you things that will not take up much space and will not take your hands away, but may turn out to be absolutely necessary in other situations. So, it would be wise to have in your cosmetic bag: a nail file, nippers, small tweezers, a needle and thread, a small bottle of nail polish (of course, the shade that you are currently using)...
There cannot be a definite answer to this question, since the contents of a woman’s cosmetic bag depend on both taste preferences, and also on why these same cosmetics are needed (for home, for travel, for a lady’s handbag).
The cosmetic bag that we take with us every day should easily fit in our purse. It should contain a set of products for correcting or restoring makeup. Many women work for 8-12 hours and all this time they need to look good. The ideal option is to do it and correct it at work during the day. To correct your makeup you will need:
- Pocket mirror;
- Compact powder;
- Blush;
- Lipstick or lip gloss;
- Lip pencil ( universal option– flesh-colored pencil);
- Concealer (corrector) - it will help hide skin unevenness and disguise dark circles under the eyes;
- Pencil or eyeliner - periodically you have to adjust the arrows, especially on the lower eyelid;
- Eyeshadow;
- Mascara;
- Wet and dry wipes;
- Bottle eau de toilette;
- Nail file;
- Comb.
Depending on the needs and preferences of each girl, this list can be adjusted.
Now let's talk about what should be in your home cosmetics bag. Here the list of cosmetics is expanding significantly. Home cosmetics can be divided into four groups:
- (foundation, foundation, powder, blush, eye shadow, eye pencils, lip pencils, lipstick, lip gloss, concealer, mascara, makeup brushes, eyebrow corrector, eyeliner, eyebrow gel, nail polish , nail oil, cuticle remover pencil, foundation sponges, eye shadow applicators, eyebrow tweezers, eyelash curlers).
- Facial skin care products (gel or foam wash, tonic, scrub, day and night face cream, cream or gel for the skin around the eyes, various face masks, antibacterial products, makeup removers).
- Hair care products (shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, hair spray, hair foam, hair gel, hair wax, heat protection spray, styling spray).
- Body care products (body lotion, hand cream, foot cream, body oil, scab, body gel) intimate hygiene, antiperspirant, depilatory cream, wax strips).
What to take with you when going on a trip? The ideal option here would be cosmetics in mini packages, so as not to carry around a huge suitcase of cosmetics. And empty bottles for shampoos, tonics, and shower gels can be purchased at almost any cosmetic store. What should you take in your travel cosmetics bag?
- Face and hand cream;
- Toothpaste, toothbrush;
- Shampoo and hair conditioner;
- Manicure set (nail polish, nail polish remover, nail file, etc.);
- Epilator, Shaver or wax strips;
- Wet and dry wipes, cotton swabs;
- Hair styling products (spray, mousse, foam, gel, wax);
- Comb;
- Hair curlers (some girls simply cannot do without them);
- Antiperspirant;
- Kit decorative cosmetics(lipstick, mascara, eye shadow, etc.);
- Eyebrow Tweezers.
Separately, I would highlight perfume and eau de toilette. They should be present in any cosmetic bag, the only difference is in volume. Mini bottles are suitable for travel and everyday cosmetics; a standard bottle is best used at home.
- Darling, what is this?
- Do not you see? Hammer.
- But why do you need a hammer in your purse?
- What if it comes in handy?
It’s hard to even imagine how many jokes have already been made about women’s cosmetic bags and bags. But they all boil down, as a rule, to one thing: every girl carries everything with her. Half a house or even more. Just in case “what if it comes in handy.” Is it really? Let's see what every girl should have in her makeup bag and is it unnecessary?
Types of cosmetic bags
To begin with, it is worth mentioning the fact that every girl has not one, but several work cosmetic bags that they use every day - the so-called bag and home bags, as well as travel ones. And the contents of each are different from each other. One stores the necessary minimum, the other contains an expanded arsenal, and the third tries to combine both categories.
Home
A beauty case is an indispensable thing for storing all your necessities and cosmetics in one place. This makes it much easier to find what you need and eliminates the need to rummage through shelves and shake out drawers. There can be several beauty cases: for decorative cosmetics, skincare and combs, rubber bands, hairpins. Or one roomy one that looks more like a chest than a cosmetic bag.
However, the very concept of “cosmetic bag” does not always mean a handbag that you take with you or in which you store something. This is often the name given to all personal care products.
What should be in your home cosmetics bag?
First of all, of course, cosmetics for facial skin care: remover (makeup remover), “washes” - foam, gel or special soap (not Dove, Fa and the like), tonic or toner, daytime and night creams or gels depending on skin type, cream for the area around the eyes. Peeling roll or scrub and several masks. For example, moisturizing, nourishing and cleansing.
The minimum list of body care products includes deodorant (regular or antiperspirant depending on your sweating), body cream/lotion/gel, hand and foot cream. Not to mention shampoo-conditioner and shower gel.
Plus a few more combs and hairpins. And this is only the minimum set of what should be in a cosmetic bag kept at home.
Decorative cosmetics
Now let's look at the required minimum of decorative cosmetics in a home beauty case. All girls love to buy new things for beauty, sometimes useful and really necessary, sometimes not so much, but no one can do without “whales”. What should be in every cosmetic bag?
Primer for face
To even out the skin and hide minor imperfections (uneven tone, pigmentation, enlarged pores), and add radiance, you need a special makeup base. From a certain age, one cream applied before foundation is not enough. In addition, you don’t always want to overload your skin with a foundation with a high matte finish, or you only need it locally. A primer will help with this; in addition, if chosen correctly, it will extend the durability of your makeup.
Tone
Even lovers of naturalness should not shy away from foundation or BB/SS cream. Walking around with a “bare” face is now much more harmful than walking with a layer of makeup. No one forces you to apply tons of “plaster”, while a cream suitable in color and type will protect the skin from negative influence environment. If you choose a color tone, the product will become completely invisible, and your face will be more well-groomed.
Powder
Alternative foundation or makeup fixer. There are completely colorless ones - an excellent option for those who love naturalness: oiliness is controlled, invisible on the face, and the skin is protected. What else should be in your makeup bag?
Concealer
A lifesaver that helps disguise imperfections. They vary in texture and color. There are solid and creamy ones, the latter are suitable for the delicate skin around the eyes, as they are less drying. Desired color choose products depending on the problem: green masks redness (including pimples), purple – pigmentation, yellow – circles under the eyes and veins, pink – to refresh the face, but you need to be careful with it, it’s not suitable for everyone. White covers signs of post-acne and moles. Bodily are universal. Ideally, have several that suit you.
Mascara
Everything is clear here. Not everyone has bright and dark eyelashes, but you want to highlight your eyes. With the help of mascara you can adjust the curve, length, and add volume. After a couple of strokes of the brush, any girl becomes, if not a queen, then certainly a princess.
Shadows
An indispensable item for both everyday basic makeup and evening makeup. Ideally, have several palettes, for every day and for special occasions or parties: beige and dark shades for drawing dramatic wings or smokey eyes.
Lipstick or lip gloss
What to choose depends on personal preferences. Some people prefer light translucent textures, others prefer a dense coating. But there should also be several shades: for every day and for going out. Don't forget that red suits everyone, you just need to find your color.
Lip balm
Indispensable in cold weather when soft skin lips often become chapped. It will help quickly put your lips in order and prevent the situation from worsening.
Also in the beauty case there should be assistants for creating beauty: a powder brush, a beauty blender or sponges, brushes for applying eye shadow, cotton pads and cotton swabs.
Of course, this is not all that should be in a cosmetic bag. Each person makes a list of useful things for herself. Many people also consider blush, eyebrow pencils or shadows, and eyeliner to be must-haves, but all this is optional.
Road
A properly assembled travel cosmetics bag is no less important than a home beauty case. What should be in your makeup bag, and what can you do without? Basically, your choice will depend on the duration of the voyage.
The main mistake of most people is to take everything with them on the road; in the end, instead of a small compact cosmetic bag, you end up with another roomy bag.
Of course, you can’t do without facial care cosmetics, your favorite shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. However, you should not take full-size bottles. Buy a special set for travelers and pour/put your favorite products into miniature bottles. This will significantly save space in your luggage and will weigh much less.
You can do the same with hydrophilic oil or remover.
Deodorant, a pack of wet wipes, a minimum set of cosmetics (tone, mascara, concealer, lipstick or gloss), a nail file, tweezers and a comb - all you need.
I carry everything I have with me
Every girl has another miniature handbag in her bag with those little things that she needs. Sometimes these little ones are more like trunks, in which you can find completely unpredictable objects. What should be in the cosmetic bag that we throw in our bag?
Powder compact with mirror, lipstick or lip balm, mattifying and wet wipes, nail file, several cotton pads and sticks. You might want to pack a pad or tampon just in case, along with some painkillers. Minimize your favorite eau de toilette if you like to refresh the scent. Compact little comb. This is what a girl should have in her makeup bag every day.
There is no need to carry mascara, eye shadow, blush, foundation with you if you do not plan to spend the night at the office or university. It is unlikely that you will use them.
Stores and pharmacies offer a huge amount of cosmetics for skin and hair care; choosing is very difficult. But do we really need all the products offered? What should be in every girl's cosmetic bag, and which products from the face and body care series can be left on store shelves? In addition to caring cosmetics, there are many women in the contents of a cosmetic bag decorative means for makeup.
What facial cosmetics should every girl have?
We will definitely talk about the decorative component of a woman’s cosmetics bag, but it is equally important to tidy up your facial skin before applying makeup and constantly take care of it.
Mandatory cosmetic products for facial skin care include cleansing, toning and moisturizing products. One of the most important conditions for healthy and clear skin is its purity. Accumulates on the skin during the day a large number of dirt, sweat and dust. Daily cleansing facial skin can be done using cosmetic soap or foam for washing.
After cleansing, you need to use a tonic. Lotions and tonics help further cleanse the facial skin and prepare it for applying cream. For dry and sensitive skin These products should not contain alcohol. Now you can apply a moisturizing cream to your skin, and in the cold season - a nourishing one.
You need to cleanse your skin regularly using scrubs. This helps remove dead cells. This procedure is carried out once every two weeks for dry skin and once a week for oily and combination skin.
What should be in your home cosmetics bag?
Every woman has a very large number of different tubes and jars on her table. Often women buy makeup products on a whim or on the advice of friends, which just sit on the mirror for decoration. To avoid the temptation to buy too much, let’s look at the necessary contents of a cosmetic bag, which is quite enough for daily makeup:
- Makeup base and foundation. With the help of the base, the structure of the facial skin is leveled and all wrinkles are hidden. If you need to thoroughly even out your complexion, use foundations two shades: natural for the entire face, and a little lighter for the area under the eyes.
- Corrector. Helps disguise various redness or blemishes of the skin.
- Powder. Powder of a natural shade will help make perfect makeup. It’s good if the powder contains reflective particles, this will give the skin a shimmer and a fresh look.
- Blush. Light and delicate shades are needed for daytime natural makeup, and more saturated shades are suitable for an evening look.
- Eyeshadow. Whatever one may say, you can never have too many eye shadows. The more quantity you buy, the more experiments you can conduct. Don't forget to have a palette light shades, as well as medium and dark tones to create a dramatic look.
- Mascara. As a rule, one bottle of black or brown mascara is enough.
- Lipstick and lip pencils. Just like eyeshadow, you can never have too many lipsticks. It is better to buy pencils that immediately match the lipstick.
- This is a list of what every girl should have in her home cosmetics bag. But you can’t take all these funds with you at once.
What should you have in your cosmetic bag?
You may need to touch up your makeup during the day or add a little extra to it at any time. Here is an approximate composition of a modern woman's cosmetic bag.
