Silco x GN! Reader

Summary: Helping Silco with his eye and makeup.

Warnings: Established Relationship, Fluff, Using a medical device, Needles, Makeup

Walking into the cold office, seeing Silco turned in his chair, holding the touch-up kit he survived off of. Even on days with no public outings, he insisted on applying the makeup, feeling as if he kept the compact mirror closer than you at times.

"Looks cakey," you point out only to tease the man, hearing as he sighed, putting down the mirror, hating it when you pointed out his poor application skills.

Resting against the desk, standing between his legs as he turned back around, ignoring his pissed face, you move to the drawer, pulling out his simmer.

Putting the device together as he shifted in his chair, ready for the discomfort, cupping the unscarred cheek steadying your hand before placing the needle over his eye. With a quick push, the simmer was administered, hearing the pained cries as his head crashed into you, seeking comfort.

Holding his head close, keeping quiet for him to have a peaceful recovery, only lasting seconds ending in his arms wrapping around you.

"Thank you," he whispers weakly, pulling away from your shirt, seeing the mess. Makeup smeared all over. Looking up at the uncaring Silco, you sighed, turning around to grab the makeup.

"Get over here," doing as you say, looking up, allowing you to apply the makeup carefully, finishing up letting him have a look at your flawless work. Knowing Sevika was minutes away, you kissed his untouched cheek before heading off into his city of Zaun.

Hello, I hope you enjoyed if there is any grammar mistakes or misspellings sorry about that feel free to let me know in the comments, have a great day/afternoon/night!

Every male trump voter in the United States is about to learn the truth about the deeply-rooted genetic rage that all living American women and girls of all ages have toward any and every male who voted, or who even would vote, for donald j. trump...

Luke 11:51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible for it all.

Every generation of American women have been victimized by trash like donald j. trump, nick fuentes, and every worthless piece of shit like them. It's like in Kamala Harris' presidential campaign vs. donald trump's presidential campaign:

Is her laugh perfect? Are her hair, clothes, and makeup flawless and has she avoided wearing a similar-looking outfit and/or fashion accessory more than once? Is she physically fit and pretty? Is she perfectly spoken at all times while being simultaneously pleasant and non-offensive? Is she enunciating perfectly at all times? Is she presenting herself in a refined, sophisticated, and high-class manner at all times, while simultaneously coming across as a lady of the common folks, without sounding fake, forced, condescending, or patronizing?

But donald trump? Lazy, fat slob with caked and greasy spray-on fecal application, wearing the same thing every time, and then there's all of that no-class, low-class, low-IQ, no-IQ, uneducated, boorish, word-slurring, mindnumbingly boring, retarded screaming-at-clouds, hateful Nazi grandpa routine showcasing extreme cognitive decline...and he and everyone like him in the United States gets a free pass, patted on the back, congratulated, awarded, rewarded, glorified, and celebrated as the living avatar of "American Exceptionalism" and genetic perfection while calling any women they work with their "work-wives" and expecting them to dress and act as a 1930's, 1940's, 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's wife should for her "loving" husband (whom she's entirely dependent on and thankful for).

Kamala Harris is being brutalized and treated as if she's the worst failure in American history, yet, if we can actually trust the swing state results, it's possible that trump may have only won each of the swing states by tens of thousands to less than 150,000 in most cases; and at this time, donald trump only has around 3,000,000 more popular votes than Kamala Harris nationwide (Hillary Clinton beat donald trump by 3,000,000 popular votes in 2016 with 5,000,000 less votes than Kamala Harris received in 2024). Why wasn't donald trump brutalized in all the same ways for losing to Hillary Clinton by 3,000,000 votes in 2016?

And then there's the lie that no one showed up to vote for Kamala Harris because of a whole host of reasons you normally hear coming out of the mouths of male domestic abusers; but it's coming from men and women talking heads at the main media outlets. And let's not forget about how those domestic abuser insults include being incapable of managing money (a man's job, a breadwinner's job, but never a woman's job or entitlement). Kamala Harris is receiving massive 1930's, 1940's, 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's misogynistic abuse from every possible outlet that was cordial to her until the last poll closed on November 5, 2024.

American Women Have Only Had a Legal/Constitutional Right to Vote to Advance the Human and Civil Rights of All American Women and Girls Since August 26, 1920 (104 years).

American Women and Girls Have Only Had Access to Real Financial Independence Since October 28, 1974 (50 years).

American Women and Girls Have Only Had Access to Real Business Ownership Since October 25, 1988 (36 years).

The entire American story of real human and civil rights for American women and girls is only as old as most living American grandmothers and their daughters, granddaughters, and great granddaughters.

American males of all ages are about to be tested for their character, qualities, truth, and honor; and the ones who fail the tests they'll never realize they're taking won't be reproducing more donald trumps, nick fuentes', and trump voters.

There are stories all over Reddit about American Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers being cancelled and people cutting trump-voting family members and former friends out of their lives for voting to end their human and civil rights, freedoms, privileges, and entitlements that American women and girls of all ages have only started to really enjoy for the last 50 years.

American women in their 90's and 80's placed all their hopes and dreams in their daughters who are now in their 60's and 50's; and those daughters placed all of their and their mother's hopes and dreams into their daughters who are now in their 30's and 20's; and those daughters placed all of their hopes and dreams into their daughters; but because of every last trump-voting male in the United States, all of those American women and girls' hopes and dreams are in the process of being completely and permanently destroyed; and all of those pre-K and K-12 daughters now have less rights than their great grandmothers.

You can't treat other human beings that way and think they're not gonig to feel certain ways about it.

I really wouldn't want to be a male trump voter right about now...

After nick fuentes made his little "Your Body, My Choice," "Men Win," and "There Will Never Be a Female President...NEVER" speech, women doxxed him, showed up at his house, he pepper-sprayed one and kicked her down a flight of brick stairs, police and EMS showed up to care for the woman, and now little nick fuentes is hiding in his mommy's basement so she can protect his "Alpha Male" self.

Fool around and find out is definitely the phrase of the day.

.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡ A/N: Wrote smth similar for Idia so of course I had to write this for my absolutely beautiful and astonishing queen (⁠๑⁠♡⁠⌓⁠♡⁠๑⁠)

Vil stood in front of the mirror, scrutinizing his reflection with a critical eye. Every detail had to be perfect, from his perfectly styled hair to the flawless application of his makeup. You stood a few steps away, watching him with a mix of sentiments.

His beauty was undeniable but it was the person behind the perfection that truly captivated you. Yet he didn't realized that.

Vil caught your gaze in the mirror and turned to face you, a slight frown creasing his flawless features. "Is there something on my face?" He asked, his voice carrying a hint of irritation masked with a polite tone.

You shook your head and took a step closer. "No, there's nothing on your face," you said softly. "I just enjoy looking at you."

His cheeks turned a faint shade of pink and he looked away, busying himself with a makeup brush. "Why would you...?" He began, but his voice trailed off as you closed the distance between you.

Gently, you placed your hands on either side of his face, lifting it so his eyes met yours once more. The warmth of his skin beneath your fingertips made your heart race. Slowly, you leaned in, your breath mingling with his.

Before he could react, you pressed your lips to his in a soft, tender kiss, which you tried to convey everything you felt for him and how much loved he was. For a moment, time seemed to stand still. Vil's eyes widened in surprise before fluttering shut, his lips responding tentatively to yours. The kiss was sweet, filled with the promise of affection and unspoken feelings.

"I like looking at you because you're beautiful," You whispered, your voice barely audible.

When you finally pulled away, his face was a deep shade of red and he stared at you with a mixture of astonishment and something deeper, a vulnerable softness that he rarely showed to you. His hand came up to touch his lips, as if trying to capture the lingering sensation of your kiss.

"I... I didn't expect..." He stammered, his usual poise faltering. A long exasperated sigh leaving his throat as he looked back at the mirror. For a long moment he looked tired, more tired than it was possible to be. "People always admire me for my looks, but they never truly see me, they can't. I've always struggled with maintaining this perfect image, more now than ever as Neige was cast in a role that I wanted. Maybe I'm only beautiful enough to be a villain."

You could see the insecurity in his eyes, the remnants of the pressure he had carried for so long. You reached out, taking his hands in yours, squeezing them gently.

"Vil, you are so much more than your appearance," You said, your voice firm but gentle. "I've seen the way you care for those around you, how dedicated you are to your craft and how deeply you feel. Your outer beauty is just a part of you. It's your heart and soul that make you truly beautiful."

His eyes softened further and you noticed the lipstick in his hand. With a gentle smile, you reached out and took it from him. "May I?"

His eyes glistened, the words sinking in. He had always been so critical of himself, striving for an impossible standard of perfection and you knew it. But your words, and the sincerity in your eyes, gave him something he hadn't felt in a long time: acceptance.

And you also knew that.

People didn't see him: Vil Schoenheit, an eighteen old boy and a simple but strict dorm leader who have been on the spotlight and under pressure since he was younger, they only saw The Vil Schoenheit, famous actor and model. A talented villain, a vain man who only cares about his beauty.

He nodded, watching you intently as you uncapped the lipstick. Carefully, you tilted his chin up and began to apply it to his lips, your movements slow and deliberate. The rich color spread evenly, enhancing his already stunning features. You took your time, savoring the intimacy of the moment, the way his breath hitched slightly under your touch.

"There," You said, stepping back to admire your work. "Perfect. Just like you."

Vil's fingers brushed against his lips, a small smile tugging at the corners. "Thank you, liebling," He whispered, his voice filled with genuine gratitude.

"If you ever feel under the weather again, don't hesitate to tell me, babe," You continued, a smile playing on your lips. "I can always snatch you up so he can cuddle while I tell all the things I love about it. And I love a lot of things."

His eyes met yours, and for the first time, you saw a flicker of hope and happiness there. His frown was replaced by a graceful smile growing on his lips, he wasn't tired at all now.

He was calm and relaxed, and more than that, he was happy to forget his worries, if only for a moment. You had this effect on him.

💎💄Luxury Makeup 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃𝐒 for a Flawless Look💄💎

With the popularity of skincare these past few years came the desire to achieve a more natural 'your-skin-but-better' makeup look.

♡...Enter the 𝓒𝓵𝓮𝓪𝓷 𝓖𝓲𝓻𝓵 makeup look...♡

It was characterised by minimal use of makeup and an emphasis on enhancing your natural beauty. The foundation needs to look like skin, and the lipstick like natural healthy and plump lips. As simple as this all sounds, it is quite an art form.

So where do you start?

Well, when it comes to achieving a flawless makeup look, quality products can make all the difference. Investing in luxury makeup can elevate your beauty routine and give you a professional finish. Furthermore as high-end products are concerned, a little goes a long way.

Here's a curated list of essential luxury makeup products that you might need in your collection:

𝕮𝖔𝖒𝖕𝖑𝖊𝖝𝖎𝖔𝖓:

A high-quality foundation is the key to a flawless base. Look for a luxury foundation that matches your skin tone perfectly and provides a smooth, even coverage. Brands like Dior and Giorgio Armani offer a range of luxurious foundations that blend seamlessly into the skin, giving you a natural yet polished finish. A good quality concealer can make stubborn blemishes vanish without a thick and unnatural finish.

How to Use:

Apply the foundation using a beauty blender or a foundation brush, starting from the center of your face and blending outwards. Make sure to blend well into your jawline and neck for a seamless look. Start with a light layer and be sure to spot conceal any visible blemishes. This creates a flawless base without the cakey look of layered foundation.

High-end Foundatation/Base Recomendations:

Dior Face and Body Foundation

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer

𝕷𝖆𝖘𝖍𝖊𝖘:

No makeup look is complete without mascara. A luxury mascara can add volume, length, and definition to your lashes, instantly opening up your eyes and making them pop. Choose a higher-end mascara from brands like Too Faced or Yves Saint Laurent for a smoother application, intense pigmentation and long-lasting wear.

How to Use:

Start by curling your lashes with an eyelash curler, then apply the mascara from the roots to the tips in a gentle zig-zag motion. Build up layers for added volume and intensity.

High-end Mascara Recomendations:

Too Face Better Than Sex Mascara

MAC Extended Play Lash

𝕷𝖎𝖕𝖘:

A swipe of luxury lipstick can instantly elevate your look and add a touch of glamour. Opt for a smooth that compliments your skintone from brands like Tom Ford or Charlotte Tilbury for a creamy, long-lasting formula that feels comfortable on the lips. Some sheer lipgloss further elevates the look and adds to the glowy final product.

How to Use:

Start by outlining your lips with a lip liner for precision, then fill in the lips with the subdued lipstick shade of your choice. Ad a layer of clear, light pink of peachy lip gloss for an extra glow.

High-end Lipstick/Lipgloss Recomendations:

Bobbi Brown Luxe Lip Color

LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm

𝕰𝖞𝖊𝖘 𝖆𝖓𝖉 𝕭𝖗𝖔𝖜𝖘:

A versatile eyeshadow palette is a must-have for creating a variety of eye looks, from subtle daytime glam to sultry evening styles. Invest in a luxury palette from brands like Natasha Denona or Pat McGrath for a range of pigmented shades and buttery textures. A single decent brow pencil can last you ages and carry you through various looks too.

How to use:

Start by applying an eyeshadow primer and choosing neutral shades that complement your skin tone. Apply a transition shade in the crease, followed by a light shimmer shade on the eyelid. Blend the edges for a seamless gradient and define the lash line with a dark eyeshadow powde. For your brows, brush them in the direction of hair growth, fill in the soparc3 areas gently with a brow pencil or powder for a more natural look.

High-end Eyeshadow/Brow Recomendations:

LAURA GELLER NEW YORK The Delectables Earthy Essentials Baked Eyeshadow Palette

Anastasia Beverly Hills - Brow Wiz

By incorporating these luxury makeup must-haves into your beauty routine, you can achieve a flawless look that exudes sophistication and elegance.

Doing Chris McLean’s Makeup

✎:My first blog on Tumblr <3

♡Summary: You do Chris McLean’s makeup before the first episode for a new season of Total Drama Island. (Boyfriend!Chris x F!Reader)

✩♬ ₊˚.🎧⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

Chris McLean has always observed your patience and dedication toward glamorizing yourself. But what can he say? You take your role as the hostess of Total Drama Island seriously.

Before every episode airs, you’d routinely get up a couple of hours prior to it even shooting just so you could do your make up, wanting to look as flawless as possible.

Afterwards, you’d look gorgeous and on point. And you’d constantly find him lustfully staring, even at places he shouldn’t be.

You couldn’t really blame him, though - the outfits you’d wear would be an irresistible mix of both worlds: sexy whilst keeping it classy.

And often he would insist on hiring a makeup crew to get the job done faster, you’d always reject his offers: “Y/N, I don’t think you understand how vast the budget is. Let’s just hire one. I wouldn’t want for you to wake up way earlier than everyone else just to-“

You placed the tip of your applicator brush upon his lips to stop him from trying to convince you any further.

“Babe… You know I got this.” You contended softly, before continuing to apply your Dior Blush and completing your look of the day.

“If you insist.”

And suddenly, an idea sprung to your head.

“Wait - how much time do we have left?”

He checked his golden watch, which complemented his slick black suit and emanated the pleasant aroma of his signature cologne.

“About 1-2 hours, plenty of time.”

“I have an idea - c’mere for a sec, babe.” you professed with a grin, motioning towards the chair beside you. It was placed right in front of the sophisticated makeup station: a vanity adorned with LED lights, an abundance of brushes and products, and countless other essentials.

Obediently, Chris complied with your request, waiting to hear what you have to say.

You playfully cupped your head in your hand, slightly cocking your head to the side.

“You have a really nice face … y’know?” You briefly cradled his face in your other hand, admiring his alluring features.

Chris adored it when you gave him unexpected compliments out of nowhere, they’d never fail to drastically boost his mood. Funny thing is, he thinks you don’t notice how bricked he gets over them.

“Oh darling… you know you don’t mean that,”

he nervously replied, his apprehension slurring his speech and his face marginally turning red.

But you knew him too well, how if anyone else were to say that to him he’d lash out a sarcastic know-it-all “I know I look good.” and beam a cocky grin.

But since you’re his darling, it’s a completely different scenario.

“Wanna hear my big idea?”

“Go ahead” he responded, being all ears.

“Okay, how much do you love me on a scale of one to ten?”

“Ten isn’t a big enough number for a real answer.”

Just what you wanted to hear.

“…Have you ever tried on makeup?”

“I see where this is going now.” he chuckled dryly, Chris also knew you too well.

Whenever you wanted a favor or needed to ask him something, you would always wait a while before bringing it up. This time, he mentally noted that you playfully employed the compliment manoeuvre.

“Lemme put some on you. Come on, please mi amor?” You pleaded, teasingly stretching out the ‘please��� to pull at his heart strings. He released a defeated sigh, giving in to your little scheme,

“Fine, go ahead.”

“You’re the best babe.” You lightly pecked his cheek before excitedly reaching for your makeup bag, rummaging through it’s contents.

“Hmm… let’s start with a bit of mascara.”

You placed your chair closer to him, and started lightly applying the product.

“This will come off before we start to air, right?” he reluctantly asked.

“Of course, it’s not a tattoo or anything.” you replied jokingly making his body tense up a little less.

“Your lashes are already so long … I’m starting to feel a bit jealous.” You finished off doing his mascara and he took a quick glance in the mirror and didn’t seem too fond of it at first.

“The application is a bit messy…” This was another one of your plans to see just how much of a tease you could be, as you got a thrill out of it.

You got up from your seat and sat on his lap facing him, you felt his heart rate and body temperature steadily increase.

“There we go,” You said, reaching for a foundation and an applicator brush.

You lightly blended it into his skin, and inspected your work afterwards.

“Oh wow,”

“What? Better not be ruining my gorgeous face.”

“Definitely not, wouldn’t want to do that to mi amor.”

“Ooh - what about some … lipstick.” You mumbled as you applied it onto his lips.

Acting as if you’re trying to readjust yourself on his lap, you bounced up and moved yourself closer to him.

As a result of your actions, you felt something gradually harden beneath you.

“What? I can’t help it.” he smirked.

“You know, I’d really hate to have wasted all this lipstick… so it looks like we’re going to have to share it.” You quipped, leaning in for a long sultry kiss, wrapping your arms around his neck.

As you kissed, his hand trailed down to your thigh, sliding it up your tight dress. The other hand grabbing your boob.

Suddenly, you pulled away from the kiss, examining his watch and your heart sank.

“Shit! - We’ve got ten minutes… stay put.”

Reaching into one of the drawers, you hurriedly grabbed for some baby wipes and gently cleansed his face. In the nick of time, one of the camera crew members informed you guys we’re just about to air this season’s episode.

You both promptly scrambled to your positions, making fixes to your outfit and moving some of your hair to the side - and the camera started rolling.

“Welcome to a new season of…”

“…Total Drama Island!”

The Power of Red: How to Rock Red Lipstick

Red lipstick is more than just a makeup product; it's a statement. It exudes confidence, power, and a touch of mystery. Whether you're heading to a glamorous event or just want to add a pop of color to your everyday look, red lipstick is your go-to. Here’s how to rock it with style and grace.

1. Find Your Perfect Shade

Not all reds are created equal. The key to pulling off red lipstick is finding the shade that complements your skin tone. For deeper skin tones, opt for rich, berry reds or deep burgundy. Medium skin tones can rock true reds and cherry shades, while fair skin tones look stunning in blue-based reds.

2. Prep Your Lips

A smooth canvas is essential for flawless red lips. Start by exfoliating your lips to remove any dead skin. Follow up with a hydrating lip balm to keep your lips soft and moisturized. This ensures that your lipstick goes on smoothly and stays put.

3. Line and Define

Lip liner is your best friend when wearing red lipstick. Choose a liner that matches your lipstick shade and carefully outline your lips. This not only defines your lips but also prevents the lipstick from bleeding. Fill in your lips with the liner for a long-lasting base.

4. Apply with Precision

Use a lip brush for precise application. Start from the center of your lips and work your way outwards. This helps in achieving an even and controlled application. Blot your lips with a tissue and apply a second layer for a bold, intense look.

5. Keep the Rest of Your Makeup Simple

Let your red lips be the star of the show. Keep the rest of your makeup minimal with a touch of mascara and a hint of blush. This balances your look and ensures that your lips are the focal point.

6. Be Confident

The most important tip for rocking red lipstick is confidence. Wear it with pride and let your personality shine through. Red lipstick is a powerful accessory that can transform your look and boost your confidence.

Red lipstick is versatile. Whether you're dressing up for a special occasion or just want to feel fabulous, these tips will help you rock red lips like a pro. So go ahead, swipe on that red lipstick, and conquer the world!

Watching The Substance and the thing that gets me is how the movie shoots Elizabeth - especially in the beginning.

She is a beautiful woman!!

The first time we see any sign of wrinkles is in these extreme closeup shots which i find VERY interesting...

So many women uphold themselves up to these extreme beauty standards of being totally flawless - but my biggest thing is that half of the time these little "flaws" (hair, moles, etc.) are so unnoticeable to everyone UNLESS they are looking at you in this magnified close up way.

ALSO when she is getting read for her date, and she keeps changing her makeup application, how much skin she first shows and covers - I literally got so emotional!

So much pressure is put on women to look young, hot, beautiful, buy MORE products to make that happen - do THESE procedures and you will be BEAUTIFUL.

I have had that moment of smearing my lipstick and hitting my head with the hairbrush because I don't look perfect and it sucks!

It is one of the most disheartening things to look in the mirror and see yourself but having been conditioned by traditional beauty standards to see yourself as "ugly" or "imperfect".

Anyway fuck traditional beauty standards, we are all gonna die someday, but hopefully you get to experience a life well lived.

Best-Kept Makeup Secrets for a Flawless Look

Makeup has the incredible power to enhance our features and boost our confidence. While makeup trends constantly evolve, some timeless secrets can help you achieve a flawless look regardless of the era. In this blog, we'll reveal some of the best-kept makeup secrets that can elevate your makeup game to the next level.

Primer is Your Canvas: Before applying any makeup, start with a quality primer. Primer not only helps makeup last longer but also creates a smooth, even surface for flawless application. Choose a primer that suits your skin type and concerns, whether it's pore-minimizing, hydrating, or color-correcting.

Less is More: When it comes to foundation, less is often more. Use a foundation that matches your skin tone and apply it sparingly. Build coverage gradually, focusing on areas that need it most, and blend well for a natural finish.

Invest in Quality Brushes and Tools: High-quality makeup brushes and tools are essential for achieving professional-looking results. They allow for precise application, blending, and contouring. Invest in a good set of brushes and regularly clean them to keep your makeup looking flawless.

Master the Art of Blending: Blending is the key to seamless makeup. Whether it's eyeshadow, blush, or foundation, take your time to blend thoroughly. Use a light hand and circular motions to avoid harsh lines and achieve a soft, diffused look.

Eyes: The Window to Your Soul: Eye makeup can transform your entire look. To make your eyes pop, use neutral shades for everyday looks and experiment with bolder colors for special occasions. Don't forget to curl your lashes and apply mascara for a wide-eyed effect.

Lip Prep is Essential: For luscious lips, exfoliate and moisturize them regularly. Use a lip liner to define your lips and prevent feathering, then choose lip colors that complement your skin tone and outfit. Consider using a lip primer to make your lipstick last longer.

Set Your Makeup: To make your makeup last all day, set it with a setting spray or translucent powder. This step locks in your look and reduces shine. Carry a compact powder for touch-ups throughout the day.

Experiment and Have Fun: Makeup is an art, and there are no strict rules. Don't be afraid to experiment with different looks and techniques. Play with colors, textures, and styles until you find what makes you feel your best.

Skincare is Makeup Prep: Healthy, well-hydrated skin provides the best canvas for makeup. Prioritize skincare to address any concerns like dryness, acne, or fine lines. A good skincare routine can reduce the need for heavy makeup.

Remove Makeup Properly: At the end of the day, removing makeup is just as important as applying it. Use a gentle makeup remover or cleansing oil to dissolve makeup, followed by a cleanser to thoroughly cleanse your skin. Never sleep with makeup on, as it can clog pores and lead to breakouts.

Makeup can be a powerful tool for self-expression and confidence. These makeup secrets, from primer to removal, can help you achieve a flawless look that enhances your natural beauty. Remember, makeup is not about masking flaws but celebrating your unique features. So, embrace the art of makeup and have fun experimenting with different looks!

How To Keep The Inside Of Your Makeup Bag Clean

For personal makeup bags/travel bags, take the essentials. My advice is no more than 10 products and buy travel-sized. This will help with having room in your bag. Here are my recommendations:

1) Foundation with SPF or Tinted Moisturizer

2) Concealer

3) Eyeliner

4) Mascara

5) Bronzer

6) Blush

7) Lip Liner

8) Lip Color

9) A Palette

I recommend a palette that can give you a few products in one package like the I Do Palette from Motives. With this palette, you get 5 eye colors, a bronzer, a blush, a highlighter, and an eye pencil. You can even get the Thalia X Motives BESOS Palette that offers 8 versatile eye shadows, 2 blushes, and 2 lip shades.

For Pro Makeup Artists, I recommend you get a makeup kit that has compartments where you can have 6 foundations from light to deep. 6 concealers from dark to deep, 4 pressed powders, 3 loose powders and 4 eye palettes with tons of different colors. Also, blush and contour palettes will help minimize the load and make it easy to move around.
