NJ’s Day to Night Make-Up Bag Solutions

O.K. Remember my 12 to 14 hour work schedule I was telling you about? This is my my make-up bag for going from day to night without going home. For eyes, I adore all the Vincent Longo eyeshadow trios to go from simple to uber-glam.  My go to eyeliner is the mini cat eyes by Julie Hewitt and the leopard option comes with a mini eyeliner brush, and then of course, the Beverly Hills King of Brows, Damone Roberts, has his famed eyebrow pencils. Miss Ross, which is named and developed for Diana Ross, is the signature soft shade of black developed in her honor.

Eyes & Brows:

• 1.) Eyeshadow – Vincent Longo One/Two/Three Trio Eyeshadow in ‘Autumn Rhythm’ $30
• 2.) Eyeshadow – Vincent Longo Sex/Lux/Pax Trio Eyeshadow in ‘Symphony’ $30
• 3.) Day-to-Night Eyeshadow – Vincent Longo Sun/Moon/Stars Trio Eyeshadow in ‘Easy Rider’ $30
• 4.) Famed make-up artist to the stars Julie Hewitt Mini Cat Eyes in A Bag in Gia (Black or Leopard Gift Bag) $34
• 5.) Eyebrow pencil – Damone Roberts famous Miss Ross Eyebrow Pencil $18

For lips, I adore Vincent Longo for the striking, semi-pearlized  pink and peach lipsticks. I combine this with Estee Lauder’s ultra creamy lip liner that travels perfectly with its smartly packaged  lip brush on one end and the retractable color on the other end.

Lips:

• 6.) Lipstick – Vincent Longo Wet Pearl Lipsticks (in ‘Honeysuckle’ and ‘Tonic Rose’) $23
• 7.) Lip liner – Estee Lauder Automatic Lip Pencil Duo  (in Chocolate) $23.50

Again, it’s Vincent Longo to the rescue for me. I use his first rate concealer and I am completely dependent on his travel compact because you just pop in a new pod when it runs out. For a foundation, Armani is simply flawless, lasting all day and into the night, which I combine with a Vincent Longo  day/play blush for the girl on the go.

Face/Cheeks:

• 8.) Concealer – Vincent Longo Perfect Canvas Liquid Concealer $28
• 9.) Foundation – Giorgio Armani Face Fabric Foundation SPF 12 $57 or Vincent Longo Water Canvas Creme-to-Powder Foundation (oil-free) $57
• 10.) Travel compact – Vincent Longo Water Canvas Foundation Travel Compact $16.50
  
• 9.) Blush – Vincent Longo Day/Play Duo Compact Blush $36

Brushes & Travel:

• 12.) Julie Hewitt Perfect Angle Brush for Brows & Eyeliner $16
• 13.) Fairweather Faces Professional Travel Size Make-Up Brush Set (Color coded brushes designate use by area) $150
