Handbag essentials are dare I say… so essential. No matter where I’m going, there is never a reason, season, or occasion that these handbag essentials aren’t in my bag (or in any of my bags). From compact mirrors to the Charlotte Tilbury trio I swear by, these are the handbag essentials I can’t live without.
1. A mini hair brush
What’s the first handbag essential? A mini hairbrush, obviously. It’ll banish every bad hair day and take up little-to-no space doing so.
2. A compact mirror
Need to take a second peek at your hair? What about your makeup? Another handbag essential is obviously a compact mirror. It’ll be your saving grace time and time again.
3. A good pair of sunglasses
There are sunglasses, and then there are good sunglasses. Go for the latter and invest in a worthwhile pair. Sure, they are a bit of an investment price-wise, but you’ll wear them year-round and for years to come. Do I even need to say more?
4. A foolproof lip option
Whether it’s lipstick, lip oil, or lip stain, the bottom line is: you need something. So, who better to turn to than Charlotte Tilbury and her endless array of options? There’s no wrong way to go here.
5. Any type of powder
Beggers can’t be choosers, and depending on how big or small your handbag is (or isn’t), you might not have room for everything. This means you need to get creative. Some sort of powder is crucial—whether that’s a bronzer, setting powder, or literally anything. Something is better than nothing.
