Take a look at our list of seven makeup-bag essentials, and don't leave home without them!

2. Concealer: Clarins Instant Light Perfecting Touch in 00

3. Bronzer: Victoria's Secret Mosaic Bronzing Powder

4. Two-Sided Lip Pencil (to define and fill in lips): Bourjois Secret Dual Ended Lipstick in Delice de Praline
