With clutch bags and minaudières ruling the evening bag stakes, considering what to pack on an evening out can be a tricky situation. It’s high time that we took a look at how to master this fine beauty art. Having to choose between keys or lipstick may no longer be a painstaking problem with the super slim line and dual-purpose products now available.
1. The Palette
Tom Ford Eye and Cheek Compact
The prettiest limited edition palette with some sumptuous hues for both eyes and cheeks. All you need is a miniature applicator or two.
2. The Lipstick
Guerlain Rouge G De Guerlain Jewel Lipstick Compact in Genna 28 Poppy Red
This rich red lipstick has a clever inbuilt mirror—perfectly designed for undercover post dinner touchups.
3.The Bronzer
Nars Bronzing Powder in Laguna
A tawny, fine-milled powder that delivers a tanned complexion in a flash. This compact is so very slim that it fits into any kooky-shaped clutch with ease.
4. The Perfume
Byredo Perfumed Oil Roll-On in Gypsy Water
Glass fragrance bottles make for some of the most beautiful dressing table ornaments, yet they require too much space to make it into any clutch. If you don’t wish to decant your own scent into a purse-appropriate sized spray, this roll-on is an excellent alternative.
5. The Mattifyer
Sephora Mattifying Blotting Films
No space left for powder? Blotting papers are the next best thing and far more space saving. Just wipe one over the contours of your face for an instant refresh.
