WHAT’S IN MY TOUCH-UP KIT
Deciding on which makeup items to include in your touch-up kit can be quite a challenge. You want to have everything you need, while at the same time, carry only the bare essentials. I mean, who wants to lug around all that extra weight?
Depending on how much room my bag affords, I can probably toss in a few extra items; but the products I’ve listed below are absolute mainstays which every touch-up kit should have.
1. Oil blotting sheets
What with the humid, summer days ahead, oil blotting sheets are an absolute handbag must-have. To keep shine at bay, I use blotting sheets before retouching my makeup. This prevents any sort of caking and keeps me looking fresh all day.
2. Eyelash curler
Need a little pick-me-upper in the middle of the day? With a little help from your lash curler, you can easily perk-up your lashes to instantly brighten your pretty peepers.

3. Black eyeliner
Black eyeliner instantly defines your eyes and amplifies your overall look. I especially like to tight line (technique of drawing eyeliner on the waterline) my upper lash line to give off the illusion of fuller lashes! If you feel black eyeliner is a little too harsh, brown eyeliner makes for a more natural alternative.
Insider Tip: Since humidity tends to cause eyeliner to run, opt for water proof or smudge proof formula.
4. Your MLBB lip color
MLBB stands for “My Lips But Better”. MLBB lippies are natural looking lip colors that are perfect for everyday wear. They do a great job of enhancing your natural lip color while doubling as a cream blush!
5. Bold, red lipstick
Whether it’s for a big meeting or impromptu after-work drinks, trade in your MLBB for a bold, red lip to instantly look fierce, polished, and classy. Wearing a bold lip color makes it look as though you spent more time on your makeup than you actually did.
