In The Bag – Cheryl Ow/Makeup Artist

Why do you use those particular products and do you have a particular philosophy or routine?
To be honest, most of the time I don’t even touch my pouch when I’m out, my make up stays put and its very seldom I need to do touch up unless I’m wearing lipgloss. I still carry it around simply because you never know when you suddenly have an invite to something nice and if you need to add more colour for blah days .

It’s more of an emergency pouch that’s why only the basics ar

e in there. The powder has good enough coverage even though it’s just a compact powder, the red lipstick is great for instant glam, the off white shadow is great for the brow bone to freshen up tired looking eyes and doubles up as a subtle highlighter for cheekbones and nose bridge. The blusher I love because there are sparkles in it, nice touch if I’m going out at night after work.

When an item runs out.

Is there a product you can’t live without and regularly re-buy?
Smoky Lash Mascara from Make Up Forever.

What is the story behind the bag you use? Where did you get it and why do you like it?
It’s a cheap and cheerful bag that I got from a market, I love the way it opens up for easy access and of course for the colour and stars!
