In The Bag – Jane Cunningham/Beauty Blogger

What products are in your makeup bag right now?

I have literally boxes and boxes of makeup that couldn’t be condensed down to one bag, so I’ve highlighted the typical contents of what I’d take out and about with me. The contents of my makeup bag vary from day to day: I tend to put the things I’ve started the day with into the bag so I can touch up, but there are a few things I am never without!



Because I have lash extensions, I keep a lash brush on me at all times, and because I like to wear black kohl I always carry a couple of cotton buds in case I start to get pools of it in eye corners. And, I never leave the house without Lanolips tinted balm..any colour will do!


List:
Lanolips in Sunshine, Maybelline Superstay 24hr Foundation, Black Diamond Coating (a ‘mascara’ for extensions), Clinique Lower Lash Mascara, Bourjois Kohl & Content in Vert Expressif, Le Metier de Beaute Lipgloss in Café Crème, a kabuki brush, UD Eyeshadow Primer Potion, cotton buds (pinched from a hotel!), a Thalgo Les Infusions de Bio Digestive Teabag (for late nights when I can’t have any more coffee!), Le Metier de Beaute Eyeshadow in Spicy, Chanel Ombre Essential in Fauve, L’Oreal Color Infallible in Purple Obsession, La Ligne de Chanel in Noir/Lame, Pristige Total Intensity Eyeliner in Black and Nars Blush in Orgasm.

Why do you use those particular products, and do you have a philosophy or routine?

I tend to stick to neutrals as a base and then use an intense liner to add colour to the eye. That said, I like to do my lids very dark – navy or khaki – with very dark lashes and kohl so if you start to pile on bright lips it all looks a bit much. I generally keep my lips quite neutral and very rarely use lipstick; I much prefer gloss or balm. I’m happy to try new looks but I do have a ‘fall-back’ face that I’m really comfortable with and more often than not, I just stay with that.

How often do you change what’s in your makeup bag?

I change it alllll the time! I’m lucky enough to be sent lots of different and new products, so I try to incorporate them into my routine so I can give them a proper test.

Is there a product you can’t live without and regularly re-buy?

 

Once again 

I’m lucky in that I don’t have to buy much at all, but the things I have most recently spent money on are Lanolips balms and La Ligne de Chanel because I can’t bear the thought of running out of either!


Whats the story behind the bag you use? Where did you get it and why do you like it?
 


The makeup bag I use was sent to me by the Chanel press office (that’s unusual I might add!). It’s a black toweling square with a patent double C. I’m Chanel obsessed so it couldn’t have been a better gift and I did actually scream when it arrived in the post!

Sinead is someone who makes me feel unapologetically myself at all times. No airs, no graces, just endless chats, openness and support. Highly recommend having a Sinead in your life (she’s a divil for chocolate truffles, though).
