Female recruits may retain the following personal items:

  1. Feminine sanitary items.
  2. Conservative cosmetics. Female/one of each: face powder, blush, lipstick, eye shadow and mascara (non-aerosol or glass). Make-up will be authorized for division photos and graduation weekend only.
  3. Barrettes (Female/must match hair color).
  4. Birth control medications.

So no foundation, eyeliner, concealer, false eyelashes, or lip liner.

Nothing wth mirror's or in glass.  Also most RDC's make you send it home, and if you want to wear it for pictures or PIR, you can buy some at the NEX.

Are you sure about this? Because I leave in a few days, and I need to know what items to bring. And what about face brushes? Do they have to be the brushes that comes with the items when bought?

How much does it cost to send the box home?
AngiePermalink Reply by Angie on February 22, 2011 at 7:21pm
The box might be free, but the shipping isn't free, it is taken out of the recruits pay to ship it home.

Angie knows what she is talking about.  Trust me.  

 

I'm betting the brushes will end up in The Box.

By the end of boot camp, you'll be so happy you get to wear make up that you won't mind the original brushes.  But as suggested, buying at NEX will be easier.  I have no clue what their selection is like, but it will be fairly basic.

 

Don't bring any expensive make up.  Pretend you're going camping.

Ok thank you. I have asked everyone this question, and you guys were the only ones able to answer me. Thank you a lot.

I would think that applying makeup would be the last thing you'd have time and energy to think about at boot camp.

Some women want to look nice for the photos and for graduation.  Nothing wrong with that.
