1 - Brushes. You cannot achieve the same professional finish without a brush. Alys favourite makeup brush brands are Japonesque & Laura Mercier.
2 - Japonesque Eyelash Curlers - "The Rolls Royce of eyelash curlers."
3 - Shiseido Perfect Refining Foundation - "I usually wear tinted moisturiser, yet sometimes I feel my skin can look a little sallow & needs further coverage, where this is perfect buffed in with a Mac 187 brush so it melts into the skin rather than sits on it."
4 - Shu Uemura UV Under Base Mousse - Gives skin an amazing glow on its own or undeneath foundation. This also carries an SPF 30 so is perfect when abroad."
5 - Jurlique Natural Moisturising Hand Sanitiser
6 - "These leggings are from elnaznicknani, I often carry these in my bag incase I need to make a quick change so I'm ready to go straight out after work."
7 - Plum Leather Gloves from Aspinal of London - I'm always driving from location to location as I find its the easiest way to ferry 2 cases of make up and equipment around. These are my driving gloves!"
8 - Got2Be Powderful - "Sadly I wasn’t blessed with full, lustrous locks, so I pump up the volume with this Schwarzkopf hair powder. Sprinkle tiny amounts onto roots and massage in for instant bed head volume. As soon as roots go flat, a quick ruffle with your fingers activates the powder again."
9 - MyFace blusher: "I’m a new convert to MyFace cosmetics. They are very affordable and perform really well for a high street brand. This blush in Lady Monaco is very highly pigmented, quite similar to NARS Orgasm but less shimmery which I prefer, and has a good size mirror in the case. Gives a really pretty flush to the cheeks."
10 - Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Shadow: "Everyone should have at least one of these in their bag. This cream shadow is the best I’ve tried and I’ve tried the lot. Goes on like velvet, stays put all day, and does not crease. It evens out the lids and creates the perfect base to apply powder shadows over the top for a more dramatic effect. It even stayed fresh-looking after a long night clubbing in ibiza!"
11 - Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow/Blush palette: "These interchangeable palettes are brilliant, I have so many Bobbi Brown colours at home so I can swap them out at a moments notice depending on my mood and outfit. They are long-wearing, highly pigmented and very blendable."
12 - Bobbi Brown Lipgloss: "I’m not generally a lipgloss kind of girl, but I keep this in my bag for the odd occasion when I’m out at night and want a more sultry look. Bobbi Brown has such a good range of flattering shades."
13 - Lanolips Lip Ointment in Rhubarb: "One of the best lip balms on the market. It uses medical grade Lanolin and holds up to 200% of its weight in moisture. I want every single colour!"
14 - Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Firm: "One of my can’t-live-without products in both my handbag and my kit. Used under the eye it creates the perfect base for concealer, it glides on smoothly, prevents concealer looking cakey and over time, really improves the appearance of the under-eye skin."
15 - Clinique Lipstick in Black Honey: "This was a limited edition lipstick, I love the colour but it’s sadly running out."
16 - MyFace Lip Pencil in Beige: "This is the perfect pinky beige for my colouring, during the day I’ll often just wear this lip liner and blend it into the center of my lips for a barely there, yet polished look."
17 - Sisley Instant Perfect: "This does exactly what it says. Creates a flawless base, blurs pores, reflects light, fills fine lines, and minimises shine. It also contains peptides to stimulate collagen synthesis for a long-term wrinkle filling effect."
18 - Alexander Wang Organiser: "This calf-hair wallet was a gift from my wonderful boyfriend. I love anything AlexanderWang!"
19 - Brass Necklace with Pendant from made: "I love this ethical, fair-trade jewellery company. Everything is handmade in Kenya, it’s inexpensive, and they have some fabulous statement pieces from designers such as Pippa Small and Nathalie Sergent. I much prefer to spend money on pieces made by artisans rather than cheap, disposable costume jewellery. It feels good to know you are supporting ‘trade not aid’ in communities in Africa."
20 - Handbag: "This was from Zara a few seasons ago. I love it because it’s studded and can accommodate all my stuff!"
21 - iPod Earphones - "I’m ALWAYS listening to music while travelling. On my playlist at the moment are Little Dragon, Gotye and Kate Bush."
22 - Laura Mercier Smooth Focus Shine Control Powder: "I have lots of Laura Mercier products in my kit and often use their Tinted Moisturiser on myself in the warmer months when my skin tone is healthier. The pale green tint in this superfine powder is great for reducing redness in the skin and keeping shine at bay."
