What's in a makeup artists personal beauty bag?

It's almost here. I am beyond excited for my flight to NYC as usual but this time of year it's even more fun. I am covering fashion week for magazines I write for and for my TV segment on  the one and only Ch. 4's-The Morning Show here in Jax.

Of course I want to share all I can with you and get you ready for fabulous fall!

Without fashion where would we be? The colors, different styles, patterns and textures.Without those accessories that light up our face how dull would dressing be! I have packed clothes to make me feel and look pretty along with my usual chic black uniform (worn by New Yorkers...ME being one of them). The weather looks a bit cooler thank God as last month it was a tropical heat wave.

I am packing the last of my beauty items and here is my Must Take with ME list:

My skin care essentials: cleanser, rosewater, pearl cream. I also love to say goodbye to stress with an Asian face roller to massage my face at night. Great for tired eyes and  revitalizes the complexion.Rosebud lip salve for a night treatment. I sleep in it and wake up with kissable soft lips.Supersmile toothpaste and floss. Celeb's and models are nuts about it. A firming and tightening face mask that is better than Botox. Temporary but divine!  

And a SUNSCREEN. A model and makeup artists secret.

Makeup: A peaches and cream Foundation, a honey colored concealer,Not Your Mothers face powder,Not Your Mothers foundation,Kiss ME mascara In black and deep purple (a celebrity and makeup artists secret) No running ,no smearing...honest! Powder blushers as they last longer than creams,a mini palette of powder eye colors,a mini palette of lipsticks ...both of these are great  to mix and match.An invisible lip liner ( I know what your are thinking but it is a magic lip crayon and it works to keep color in it's place),a lipstain lipstick and a sangria lip liner.A black eyeliner, white pencil eyeliner.They really accentutate and give eyes a fresh and beautiful look.What would we girls do without a great lip gloss? I have packed one nude, one clear and one with a rose glow.

That's it and it does not take over my suitcase!

I hope you enjoyed a peek inside  my personal travel bag. Another time I'll share with you what's in a professional makeup artists kit.We cannot live or work without it!

Next stop the designer fashion shows, fun shopping and dancing in the streets!

Gotta get my beauty sleep!
