before midnight.
A few people asked me to show them my makeup stash, but I have so much that the idea of it kind of breaks me out in hives, so here's what I brought to Sakuracon instead!!
I used a Sonia Kashuk weekender pouch thing; I thought I would find it too bulky but actually it is so good and so much better than what I did last year, because it fit my makeup + most of my toiletries. It has two compartments and a bunch of pouches and SPACE.
Here's the inside, with all my stuff (the empty compartment is where my toiletries were but I unpacked all of that already):
The first side has all of/most of my dry makeup, my brushes, my eyelash case, eyelash glue, wig net, powder, tape, etc in it!!
Everything in the first pouch!!
I brought two palettes, the ABH Modern Renaissance one and the Naked Basics, and then the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Creamy Beige, and some L'Oreal gel liner. I ended up using all of them!!!
Here's the Elf contour palette/Wet n Wild contour palette + Becca cream highlight. I actually bought the Elf palette at target, and took fifty years to do it, Nat had to wait for me to pick between the powder one and the cream one. 8) I didn't get the cream one because it looked too warm/dark for me.
Andddddd actually the Wet n Wild one is too warm for me too screams BUT I USED IT A BIT ANYWAY...
I really liked the cool shade in the bottom right square of the Elf one though!
Blush:
"Was it necessary to bring a single blush if you brought that whole palette Amy" YES IT WAS. That's the Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Tipsy iirc, and a Too Faced palette that I accidentally stepped on at one point and cracked the mirror. 8) I used both of them over the weekend.
My brushes and sponges!
From left to right:
On the other side is my liquids etc, minus my Bourjois foundation because I took it out this week to use.
I THINK THIS IS PRETTY SELF EXPLANATORY? Yes, I brought five types of concealer/corrector.
From top to bottom:
Re: foundation: it's MakeupForever's HD foundation, and Urban Decay's Naked-- I mix the two.
The stuff in the other pouches are just face masks/bobby pins/the hand mirror I use to do my makeup with!!

My brushes and sponges!
From left to right:
- a fluffy eye blending brushI do all of my foundation/concealer with sponges because runs normal/dry!!
- an angled brush for contour that I use for blush sometimes
- angled brush for gel liner/eyebrows etc
- an Elf blush brush
- fat powder brush
- the two green sponges are ecotool, I got them at Target because a makeup youtuber I follow really likes them! I used the small green one all weekend for undereye stuff
- real techniques sponge that is pretty much on par with my Beauty Blender, except so much cheaper soooooo
On the other side is my liquids etc, minus my Bourjois foundation because I took it out this week to use.
I THINK THIS IS PRETTY SELF EXPLANATORY? Yes, I brought five types of concealer/corrector.
From top to bottom:
- Maybelline Fit Me! I like this one for spot concealer + under eye, it's pretty dewy and the coverage is decent.When I conceal my under eyes it's basically in this order: Erase Paste, Nars, Tarte, Maybelline. I do everything in light layers and blend it in with the sponge.
- Tarte Shape Tape, which I'm pretty sure I got a shade too light but I just use it to highlight and for my under eye so it works out great. It's kind of dry though.
- a NYX green concealer that I use for redness if I have really... bad... redness... I think I only used it once this weekend??
- THE ONE UNDER IT IS ACTUALLY A BECCA HIGHLIGHTER IN OPAL, I don't think I ended up using it because I just used the cream.
- Benefit Porefessional.
- a little makeup tester's worth of the Nars Cream Concealer (not the creamy one) that has really great coverage and is so smooth, I use a bit of it for my under eyes BUT I ALSO GOT THIS SLIGHTLY TOO LIGHT, so I don't use it for spot concealing.
- Benefit's Erase Paste!!
