We all love looking beautiful when leaving the house and for women, beauty includes a whole lot of products coming together to create a master-piece of a drop dead gorgeous wonder women.
We can be thankful to makeup for making it possible for women to be able to cover up what they feel insecure about and accentuate what they love about themselves and overall bringing everything together in making us feeling happy with how we look thus being confident with what we do or where we go.
We spend hours and hours in front of the mirror trying to get the look we want whether it being the poppy Nicki Minaj, the boyish Rihanna or the classy Mariah Carry; one thing for sure it takes a reasonable time and loads of items to conquer the look. It can be quite a difficult task to drag along with you an entire makeup collection everywhere you go but what you can definitely do is make space for essential products that can be easily stored in a handbag for later use.
We may not be celebrities with an entourage on backup but we have four items that will dazzle you up in a matter of minutes.
