Question of the day: What's in your make-up bag?

When you're rich and famous, have access to all the best makeup artists and need to always look fabulous, you could really carry just about any amazing, super-luxurious beauty product with you in your make-up bag.

But, as Fashion + Beauty editor Jennifer Romolini blogged today, InStyle raided a handful of celebrity make-up bags, and you'd be surprised what mixed bags they are. The picks range from Rihanna and her $7 Covergirl's Volume Exact Mascara to Katherine Heigl's $95 Hylexin eye cream. There are even some ingenious little things, like the one Jenn pointed out - Lucy Liu carries cotton swabs in a old gum tin.

Now, Shine chicks, we're wondering what's the amazing stuff in your own make-up bags! I personally always carry around Clinique's All About Eyes concealer (cover-up AND eye cream in one tube), Burt's Bees lip balm (cool minty goodness for chapped lips) and MAC lipstick (sheer and pretty with a vanilla scent).

Open your purses and give your fellow readers a glimpse at what's going on in those make-up bags. Tell us what your on-the-go must-haves, and we'll tell you ours.

    Well I use Philosophy's products so I don't always feel the need to wear make-up, My skin looks

    radiant enough as it is, I carry around a tube of Philosophy's Kiss Me, always for dry lips, a must have

    for dry climate areas like here in Phoenix Arizona. The only make up I use is BE, I've got a medium

    sized fold out trunk case with a variety of different make-up from BE. But I don't carry it around with

    me.I am a less is more gal,or what BE calls A Bare Naturalist.

    If you are doing your best to make a relationship work and it doesnt,Simply move on and always remember that if sameone cant appriciate you then he is not good enough for you.

    You are fearfully and wonderfully made.There is someone somewhere praying for a person you are.

    i used to wear makeup but not anymore. sometimes i will use lip gloss but since i work with patients and do alot of lifting i don' like the feel of makeup on my face. it does enhance your looks but i'm happy with the way i look.

    make-bag ? What make-up bag? I haven't wore make-up in probably 20 yrs. I like myself the way, I am. So, no make-up for me.
