Welcome to the first edition of Makeup Bag Monthly.

This year has been packed full of runway trends, sneak peeks at upcoming spring launches and star-studded looks from the red carpet. In this newsletter you’ll find top makeup artists’ must-have makeup brush picks, products I can’t live without and giveaways for five lucky Makeup Bag Monthly subscribers.

On a personal note, thank you for being so compassionate and supportive these last few months. My father’s recent death has left my heart broken, but the kind words I received from Makeup Bag readers lifted my spirits and gave me comfort in my darkest days.

With Gratitude,
Erika
