Evening Bag Essentials

All you need to tote for fast touch-ups are these fabulous four, which fit neatly into a sleek, dressy clutch.

Convenient compact. Blot shine, and check your lipstick with Estee Lauder After Hours Compact Lucidity Translucent Pressed Powder ($25).

Scent sense. Refresh your scent anytime with a purse-size fragrance, such as Chanel To Go in Coco ($55).

Lipstick pick. There's always room for a mini lipstick like Rocket City Lipstick in Bolt ($7.50; to order, call 877-427-6253).

Hair helper. As the night goes on, your hair may need extra control. Whip out Brad Johns' Small Barrette in tan ($35; to order, call 888-577-2866). Dazzling Swarovski crystals make it stepped-up enough for any occasion.
