3. Foundation
For flawless-looking skin, every girl has foundation in her bag. It evens out the skin tone, covers imperfections, and acts as a canvas for highlighters and other products.
4. Concealer
Every girl has concealer to ensure even the biggest pimple is a no-stress situation. It covers blemishes and imperfections and can also be used for contouring.
5. Primer
Primer is the base of everything. You can't successfully apply foundation and conealer without this base layer that will smooth pores, moisturize, and protect.

6. Brushes
If you have the other products on this list, chances are you have at least one makeup brush to help with applying and blending. Using brushes is the best way to apply makeup as they'll give you more control and a cleaner finish.
7. Bronzer
For that healthy sun-kissed look, bronzer is your friend. It comes in powder or liquir form and can also be applied to add definition.
8. Blush
Blush is great for adding a pop of color to your look. For a youthful look, apply it to your cheeks, and for creating definition, your cheekbones.
9. Brow Pencil
We can't stress enough how important strong brows are for framing the face. That's where the brow pencil comes in. Whether you have sparse brows that need some added thickness or just want to add some definition, the brow pencil is the perfect item.
10. Eye Shadow
Eye shadow is arguably the most fun to play with. You can use shades that add definition and make your eyes pop or get really artsy and compliment your eyes with a more colorful palette.

11. Lipstick
No look is complete without a little color on the lips. In addition to making your lips look irresistible, it also protect them from the elements.
12. Lip Liner
If you're a lipstick person, it's a good idea to enhance the look with lip liner. It gives your lipstick a sharp, crisp edge and prevents lipstick from bleeding.

13. Highlighter
Once you go highlighter, you never go back. It accentuates certain facial features, adding a pop and a youthful glow to skin.
14. Setting Spray/Powder
Setting spray is an essential in any makeup bag. The last step in your face routine, setting spray seals your makeup, helps it last longer, and hydrates.

15. Blending Sponge
While not everyone uses them, blending sponges are great for applying liquid makeup. They create a smoother, more skin-like finish than if you were to apply with your fingers.
16. Brow Gel
Any eyebrow-obsessed girl is sure to have some brow gel in her bag. It comes in to shape brows and acheive a clean look after creating definition and volume with the pencil.
17. Lip Gloss
For those girls who don't want to commit to lipstick, you better believe they have some lip gloss in their bag. It adds some moisture, shine, and color but isn't as dramatic as lipstick.
18. Moisturizer
While not technically makeup, every girl is bound to have some face moisturizer in her bag. Makeup can be drying and harsh on the skin so it's an essential addition to any routine.
19. Makeup Remover
Whether it's wipes or in liquid format, makeup remover is an essential product to have. Every girl knows the awful feeling of waking up with the makeup from the day before still on her face, terribly smudged and slowly drying out her pores all night–yuck!
20. Tweezers
While not technically a makeup item, every girl is bound to have some tweezers in her bag. We all get pesky unwelcome hairs, so it's certainly an essential item.
