If you're a fan of the snooze button like us, you've no doubt found yourself leaving home in a hurry. Sometimes when you’ve really gotta hustle, there’s just no time to throw a makeup bag together. This happens to me quite often, so I started keeping an ESSENTIAL EMERGENCY MAKEUP KIT in my purse. Or E.E.M.K. for short!
What’s in my bag?
Concealer.
Not getting enough restful sleep? Maybe you stayed at the club a little too late last night? No problem. Keep a good concealer with you to hide those unsightly blemishes and dark spots. My personal favorites are cream concealers. They look flawless, blend easily, and can be used for more than just dark circles under the eyes.
False Eyelashes.
I almost never leave home without my false lashes, and let’s be honest, girls. If you wear false lashes you probably don’t either. I highly recommend the The Bombshell 3D Faux Mink lashes from Dollar Eyelash Club. you'll also want to keep small bottle of eyelash glue.
Creme Eyeshadow.
When you're in a hurry you don't have time to waste on a full trio or quad with a cut crease. I prefer a cream eyeshadow that you can apply quickly with your finger for a beautiful all over color.
Black Eyeshadow.
Not everyone has the steadiest hand. Eyeliner is really difficult for some people. When pressed for time, some of the best liner queens can struggle. Instead of traditional eyeliner, try a matte black eyeshadow. I usually stay away from a traditional eyeliner and prefer matte black eyeshadows that can be smudged onto the lash line. This is a great hack for saving time when you’re in a rush
Bronzer.
If you have pale skin,and don't tan very well, get that sun kissed look with bronzer. Adding bronzer to your look will make it seem like you spent hours on your makeup when you actually did it in less than 5 minutes before running out the door.
Lip Color.
I am ADDICTED to lip products. I never keep just one color or finish in my kit. I usually keep a bright red lipstick and a nude lip stain in my bag. I like to have a lip balm for hydration and a gloss for shine, as well.
