Basic Plus
The basic plus young lady is slightly curious about cosmetics. She is not ready to invest a great deal of money in cosmetics, but will take hand-me-downs. She will experiment with color, but it has to be close to natural. Thats her comfort zone.? She will carry all her cosmetic hand me downs and inexpensive cosmetics in one bag. Her cosmetic bag is probably a free gift from one the cosmetics counter, or something very inexpensive.

Just in Case
The just in case young lady has quite a few makeup options and looks.? She will invest in cosmetics, but has to love them in the store. She doesnt buy cosmetics that wont speak to her while she is in the store. She depends on a cosmetic sales person to show her how to apply her makeup.
She only buys a few pieces of makeup at a time, and mostly because its an occasion.? She will experiment with different ranges of color from naturals to rich pigments. She is starting a makeup stash that is growing and too big to fit all her pieces in one bag.? So she has a stash of makeup at home and only carries a select group of pieces in her make-up bag, just in case.
?Just In Case Makeup Bag
- Mirror
- Eye Shadow (natural color, probably with sparkles)
- Eye Liner (black or a dark brown)
- 2-Lipglosses (one is a clear, and the other is a natural color)

Ready for Anything
The ready for anything young lady could start her own makeup counter.? She is knowledgeable about cosmetics, and probably knows the active ingredients in her make-up.? She knows how to customize looks for different occasions and she knows cosmetic trends.
She probably has a subscription to Harpers Bazaar, Vogue, Glamour or Allure. She may even be a borderline cosmetic junky.? She buys cosmetics that she probably only will wear once or never. She doesnt need an occasion to purchase makeup. Shes ready for anything because after she has decided her wardrobe, she then decides her make-up, to guarantee a polished look.
She doesnt mind spending an abundant amount of money on cosmetics. Seeing all her makeup gives her a high. She customizes her makeup bag with cosmetics that will make her ready for anything in minutes.?
