Empty my handbag and you'll find a whole little beauty universe in there. Oops. But five things make it in every single time, whether I'm off to a shoot, a meeting or just coffee with friends. Here they are, and why.
1. A nourishing tinted lip balm
The first thing I grab. One swipe and I look put together, no mirror needed. Care and colour in one go, for the days when everything has to be quick.
My tip: pick a shade that's just a touch deeper than your own lips. That one always works, even without checking.
2. Cream blush in stick form
My number one for on the go. Two dabs and I look awake again, even after a long day.
- •Dab it onto your cheeks and blend with your fingers.
- •Works on your lips too, so everything matches.
- •No brush, no mirror, no fuss.
3. A reliable mascara
If I could only keep one eye product, it's mascara. A few strokes and your whole face looks more awake. I always have one on me for quick touch-ups.
My tip: wiggle the wand through your lashes in a little zigzag. No clumps, more volume.
4. Blotting papers against shine
Under the lights or on a warm day, your forehead and nose get shiny fast. More powder makes skin look heavy, so I just blot the shine away. Skin stays fresh, make-up stays put.
5. A small perfume rollerball
Scent is part of my look. A mini rollerball of my favourite perfume takes up almost no space. One swipe on the wrist before a big moment and I'm ready.
Why these five
They all have one thing in common: no mirror, no tools, done in seconds. On the go I don't want a full face. I just want to feel fresh and like myself again. Less, but the right things. That's really all there is to it.
