Everybody has their essential makeup products that they never leave home without, and celebrities are no exception to the rule. From formal events to casual days out and about, A-listers like Kylie Jenner and Kaley Cuoco are always prepared for a touch-up or beauty need of any kind. Essentials like lip gloss, lip balm, and sunscreen are just some items we simply cannot run errands without! Let's take a look inside the bags of some celebrities to see what their prized possessions are when it comes to self and beauty care.

1. Kylie Jenner's Luscious Lips Love Their Lip Butter

Kylie Jenner always looks stunning whether she's running to grab some goodies at Erewhon or heading to a sweat session. One of the reasons why? She always pampers her skin and has her self-care at the top of mind.

Two of Kylie's go-to beauty and wellness staples she carries in her purse? Drumroll, please! The makeup mogul toldย Cosmopolitan, "Always in my purse is my Kylie Skin Lip Butter or hand sanitizer."

Take it from Kylieโ€”these are two must-haves to carry in your bag, too.

2. Huda Beauty Founder Huda Kattan Is Hooked on Brightening and Setting Powder

When Huda Beauty founder Huda Kattan speaks makeup essential, we listen. To no surprise, the item she "can't live without" is one of her brand's popular beauty items.

"I can't live without our Easy Bake and Snatch Pressed Brightening and Setting Powder," she told Grazia. "Our OG Easy Bake Loose Powder is a cult fave. I used to carry a Baby Bake (a mini version of the powder) everywhere with me, but now we've finally launched a pressed version, it's my must-have when I'm on the go. It's made for 'speed-baking,' giving all the benefits of traditional baking but fast with the same filtered finish."

3. Real Housewives of Dubai's Chanel Ayan Never Leaves Home Without Plumping Lip Balm

Dubai's Real Housewife and AYAN BEAUTY founder Chanel Ayan is another fan of keeping her lips moist and glossy.

"I always have Huda Beauty's Silk Balm Honey Kiss Plumping Lip Balm in my bag, it's my absolute fave," she told Grazia. "When filming the Real Housewives of Dubai, I have to wear a matte foundation, so pairing it with super glossy lips is a must. Huda's is the shiniest of them all and it's non-sticky. It's packed with hyaluronic acid and manuka honey for hydration and healing chapped lips. I love honey. Once a week I mix it with brown sugar and lemon to exfoliate my face. The smell is addictive."

4. Actress and TV Host Arielle Vanderburg Keeps Her Skin Protected With Sunscreen

Actress and TV host Arielle Vanderburg always keeps sunscreen on standby. She specifically loves Sun Bum Sunscreen.

"This is probably the first thing I should have shown because it's very, very important," Arielle told Us Weekly. "Kids, use your sunscreen and this one smells like a dream. That's my favorite brand. It smells so good. Oh, my God. Like, that just makes me want to swim."

6. Founder of 111SKIN Eva Alexandridis Loves Her Cheek Palette

Founder of 111SKIN Eva Alexandridis is a big fan of NARS beauty products.

"NARS makeup is a handbag essential for my regular on-the-go glam," she told Grazia. "I use the Afterglow Lip Balm which is a very hydrating makeup-skincare-hybrid and perfect for winter months in the city. I also use the Cheek Palette which I love because of its very natural array of shades. I find all of NARS's products so easy to navigate and fuss-free, yet highly effective and provide long-lasting coverage."
