It is always a good idea to moisturize your face before you apply your makeup. This helps the skin remain elastic and will prevent the makeup from looking caked. Wash your face before you apply moisturizer and then proceed to apply your makeup.

A good fragrance is just as important to creating a good impression as good makeup. If you are likely to be traveling, it is even more important that you apply a little perfume to take away all the unsavory travel smell and replace it with something fragrant and refreshing.

A little bit of jewelry in a vanity bag is always a good idea. Choose items that are likely to fit in with the clothes you are wearing or carrying with you. You can easily change your jewelry wherever you may be and this will help create a great overall effect.

Apart from these must haves in your vanity bag, you can choose any makeup items that you use. These can include blushes, eye makeup like liner, mascara and eye shadow, different shades of lipstick, foundation, etc. depending on your personal tastes and preferences.
