Well, most of us carry them. I know I have one that I carry all the time. Since I'm starting a new job I was hoping maybe this would give me some good ideas of something I should be carrying, but I'm not. So I guess I'll start:

Currently I'm toting around everything I'm wearing on an everyday basis.

Elizabeth Arden tinted moisturizer
BE Sorbet Blush
BE Fantasy Island Eyeshadow
BE Carnival Liner
MAC Brow Pencil
Anastasia Brow Gel
Anastasia Highligher
Prescriptives Lash Envy (my new FAVORITE mascara)
MAC Tinted Lip Moisturizer
MAC Spice Lip Liner
MAC Cioa Manhattan
Some brushes

All wrapped up in a Monogrammed Coach Beauty Case. It's the only thing that will fit all my stuff. I'm currently looking for a Chanel Case to use.
 
Ok , her goes :

Laura Mercier candlestick gloss ( hated it , now luv it )
Laura Mercier translucent pressed powder
Laura Mercier lipliner in potpurri
Sue Devitt eyshadow in St. Barths
Stila eyeshadow in Jezebelle
Nars lipliner in Rosebud
Laura Mercier concealer ( 3 ? )
Nars concealer brush
Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner in Cobalt
Bobbi Brown eyeliner brush
Maybeline eyebrow pencil blonde
Nautica tweezers I stole from fiancee
L'oreal Shocking Volume mascara ( this stuff is awesome ! )
Giorgio Armani blush in #3
Giorgio Armani gloss in CBE
Giorgio Armani gloss in CAC
Rimmel Sweet Jelly in Moreish
Cargo Smoky Eye Duo in Madagascar
Benefit High Beam
Sephora Blush Brush
3 Sephora eyeshadow brushes

It's packed to the gills . You can never be too prepared !
 
i try to keep my daily makeup carrying to a minimum. i have:

diorshow mascara in black
revlon colorstay eyeliner in black (i swear to you, best eyeliner on earth!)
mac plushglass in fulfilled
mac lipglass in lovechild
mac select sheer pressed powder in NW15
giorgio armani concealor
jo malone purse spray in nectarine blossom and honey

i don't carry my foundation, bronzer, or eyeshadow around because they take up too much space and i'd never redo them during the day anyway. some days i don't carry anything but my lipglass and plushglass, it just depends on where i'm going and who i'm seeing.

What is plushglass? I've never heard of it.

it's like lipglass in that it's super duper shiny and smooth, but it also has lip plumper ingredients in it - they're brand new and LE! i'm going to have to stock up before they go away for good.
 
I try to fit everything in my small Prada cosmetic bag...

DiorKiss in Lychee Rose
DiorShow Mascarra
Benefit Eye Liner
Guerlain Terracota Bronzing Powder
NARS Concealer
NARS Multiple (all-in-one multi purpose make-up stick)
MAC Blot powder

HYSTERIC

i use the pencil - i like a distinct, straight line and don't smudge, and this stuff is perfection for that.

Thanks. I will have to give it a try. I use liquid liner...l'oreal lineur intense and that's the best I've used. It's all in the brush...it's a very fine brush so it makes a nice line. I'd love to have a pencil that worked as well. I also do love colorstay...well, I DID until they decided to discontinue my lipstick. I have used the colorstay lipcolor for years, the one that doesn't come off. I can't stand having anything on my lips that I can smell, taste, or feel, or has any kind of stickiness. The colorstay was great as it felt like I wasn't wearing anything! Now they reformulated it to be more moisturizing...called Soft & Smooth, and it's now sticky. YUCK!
