While the political landscape remains fraught – to be kind – and a total mess – to be realistic – you’ll be pleased to know that at least Blake Lively’s make-up bag is in order. Before you even suggest that there are more important things currently going on in the world, what could provide a more perfect distraction than Lively’s attempts to KonMari her beauty stash, thus providing the world a rare glimpse into exactly what she uses on a (presumably) daily basis? Nothing, that’s what.
Taking to Instagram Stories to share the fruit of her organising efforts, Lively said: “When you organise once, then gotta share with the world.” We’ve all been there.

The conclusion, excitingly, is that Lively has great taste in products, most of which are surprisingly affordable. Sure, there’s a large stash of Charlotte Tilbury, Dior and Armani, but there’s also the likes of Urban Decay, Burt’s Bees and CeraVe. Another concluding fact? Blake Lively loves highlighter. Most refreshingly of all, each of the products is pretty accessible in terms of how to use, meaning they’ll suit most people. And in terms of the foundations featured, they’re available in an inclusive range of shades, too.
So, from affordable SPFs and refreshing face mists to softer-than-soft luxe brushes and a seriously excellent highlighter, you can now shop the entire contents of Lively’s make-up bag. Hey, at least you haven’t even thought about Brexit for the last two minutes..
