My Essentials: Makeup

I'm one of those people that has more makeup than any sane person should have. I blame this on several reasons: I love makeup, there is always the latest-better-then-the-last-guys makeup, and well I love makeup.

Usually wherever I go I carry a small makeup bag that has what I call my essentials. You know the makeup I would take with me  if I somehow end up on an island with a gorgeous man and can't take my fifty tons of makeup. Yes, I believe in being prepared for these kinds of situations. Plus if I'm running late I use only these essentials to get myself presentable.

My Essentials:
MAC Taupe Eyebrow Pencil  (similar here)

Peter Thomas Roth Mattifying Gel
Laura Mercier Undercover Pot (Concealer, Corrector, and Setting Powder)
Sonia Kashuk Eyelash Curler
L'oreal Voluminous Mascara
Victoria's Secret Dark Chocolate Eyeliner
Mac Movie Star Red Cream for my lips (this is the red Im using at the moment but any MAC red) (similar here)



All of these are products I really love as is proof the countless times I come back to them after trying out and tiring of the newest.

You might have noticed the lack of a foundation, no its not because my skin is flawless. It's because I've yet to find a foundation that I want to keep going back to. I have never found a  foundation that matched my skin color and provided the consistency I'm looking for, more often then not I mix my foundations. But then again I often mix everything- concealers, lipsticks, mascaras, anything I think benefits from added layers.

But please do tell if you have found the holy grail foundation. What other holy grail makeup have you found?
