Slip these compact beauty essentials into your clutch to stay fresh and flawless all night long…

1. Cargo ColorCards, $39
Seriously squeezing everything into your clutch? One of these shadow-embossed cards takes up less precious space than your Visa. Beyond essential.

These little lippies pack a highly-pigmented punch. Coating the lips in rich, conditioning colour, each of the six ultra-versatile shades in this collection slips secretly into a handbag for maximum glamour on the go.

A super slim and lightweight looking glass to help monitor your hair and make-up look.

5. Joey New York Go Gorgeous, $36.95

6. Lady Jayne Travel Brush, $6.99
Folds neatly into your bag and features a built-in mirror to help you touch-up and smooth-down between drinks. Hint: Wrap a few Gliders Snag Free Hair Elastics ($3.95 for a pack of 30) around the end for after-party ponytails.

7. By Angelique Lipdelight, $26
The lip gloss to save your life. In six sumptuous colours and with a delectable lychee scent, this moisturising gloss will preserve your gleaming, smoochable pout all party long. But the best bit: it’s got a built-in beam for precision maintenance in dark corners, cabs and cloakrooms. Genius!

8. Bourjois Imperfection Concealer, $20
Complete with a mini mirror, this clever concealer will keep indiscretions under wraps in the wee hours. The smooth, creamy formula veils style-cramping blemishes and won’t flake off or grease up. As for emerging under-eye circles, what under-eye circles?
