THE LOOT: Multiple cosmetic pouches crammed with mismatched brushes, half-used lipsticks, and crumbly eyeshadows.
THE REBOOT: First, toss any expired goods (mascara after three months, creams older than a year, powders three-plus years). Then, switch to one streamlined train case with compartments to help organize day-to-night staples.
Cream Eyeshadow: A do-it-all formula lets you shade, line, and contour eyes in a snap. Apply it lightly for a sheer wash of color, or layer hues for a vibrant effect — no brushes required.
Powder Foundation: Use this versatile complexion booster wet for medium coverage or dry for foolproof touch-ups.
Makeup Eraser Sticks: These handy swabs wipe away smudges, flakes, and mistakes without messing up your makeup.
