I really don't carry a make-up bag, I put on my warpaint at home, BUT if I did carry one (I just carry my lipstick or gloss that I'm wearing that day in it) I'd have:
*Foundation *Powder w/sponge applicator *maybe a few lipsticks/glosses (in neutral colors) *same as above, but in eyeshadow *concealer

wow, the answer to this question has changed quite a bit for me. i recently have gone through a life altering experience and decided to throw away all of my makeup. i went 2 months without any makeup at all, and have recently started started purchasing makeup again. but nothing like i did before. i would buy makeup, especially at drugstores since it is so innexpensive, just for the sake of buying makeup. so my escentials have changed a lot and i am now down to one makeup bag of makeup and it consists of:
bare minerals foundation in fair bare minerals mineral veil bare minerals blush in golden gate bare minerals glimmer in devotion bare minerals bisque loreal true match foundation in neutral 1 loreal true match concealer in neutral 1 rimmel eyeshadow brown eyeshadow trio mary kay glow year round bronzer maybeline eyestylist eyeliner in bronze/brown aveno intense relief medicated lip balm elf lipgloss in chai good skin megabalm tinted lipgloss in mocha pink covergirl lash exact mascara in black wet and wild mini eyelash curler
Philosophy the supernatural mineral makeup Laura mercier eyeshadow base Trish McEvoy palette with many different eyeshadow shades--use a few as eye liners laura mercier concealer Bare Escentuals blush in beauty mac blush in peachy keen chanel blush and bobbi brown blush---can't remember the names of the colors Loreal mascara
I would say those are the basics but I have TONS of glosses, lipsticks, eyeshadows, lipliners....you name it. I have issues when it comes to buying makeup!!
