If anyone’s going to know what you should (and more importantly, shouldn’t) have in your makeup bag then our beauty guru Sayaka Varma is the girl. We rummage through her beauty kit and see what her everyday necessities are, and which have a permanent spot in her makeup bag.
“I find sleep one of the most important parts of my beauty routine; I guess that’s why they call it beauty sleep! In the mornings, I don’t have that much time to get ready before rushing off to work. However, I always apply the ELLANA MINERAL COSMETICS LIQUID PRIMER without fail. It’s super hydrating plus it delivers a fabulous glow to my skin! I also dab on the LIPICE SHIMMER LIP BALM, and always get a quick curl of my eyelashes using the ARDELL LASH APPLICATOR. It makes my eyes appear bigger, rounder, and brighter instantly and then I’m out of the house!”
“With me being so rushed in the mornings, I tend to have to reapply various beauty products throughout the day, which is why I carry around my makeup bag wherever I go. IN2IT SHEER SHIMMER BLUSH is a brilliant way to add a spot of colour to your cheeks when you’re feeling a little tired, and the KAWAII NATURACTOR POWDER FOUNDATION keeps my skin looking silky smooth, which is always a bonus. VANILLA & CO. WATERMELON & BODY MIST is genius, as it automatically gives me a mini face lift while leaving my skin hydrated.”
“There are some products that really do make the difference and dry conditioner is one of them. TONi & GUY CLEANSE DRY SHAMPOO tops my list. To be fair, so is the KAWAII HOT CLEANSE JELLY — it has saved me in many an emergency! Lastly, it’s my SALVATORE FERRAGAMO INCANTO CHARMS, which is a little more subtle than a spray but stays on the skin a lot longer, leaving me smelling fresh. Hopefully! “
