Creating the perfect make-up bag

As A/W trends land on cosmetics counters, it’s time to streamline your beauty regime. From classic pieces to the best new season launches, Weekend’s Beauty Editor Rachel Marie Walsh creates the perfect make-up bag.    

Good skincare is worth investing in but you don’t need high-end products for every step of your regime to look great.

Cleanser, for example, spends very little time on the skin. Buying a pricey one loaded with ingredients that would only make a difference when regularly left on for hours at a time seems wasteful. All that is required of a cleanser is the gentle, effective removal of dirt and derma- debris without leaving residue.
