What’s in your bag, Katie Boland?
See what’s inside Katie Boland’s bag »
Katie Boland ranks high on our list of young Canadians worth keeping an eye on. In the past few years the Toronto-based actress had made waves with notable roles including one alongside Kat Dennings in the 2010 flick Daydream Nation and in her own web series Long Story, Short (which she wrote and co-produced, by the way). The striking brunette, who has much to be excited about with a role on the new CW series Reign, stopped by our offices to give us an uncensored look at what she carries in her everyday bag. A self-professed iPhone addict, who admits she can’t live without eyeliner and is constantly on the hunt for the perfect red lipstick, is refreshingly down to earth and surprisingly low-maintenance (lipstick, Visa and phone is all that she brings with her to red carpet events). We got up close and personal with Boland’s must-have items as she let us peruse through her purse.

Bag: It’s a Jessica Jensen bag and she’s an amazing Canadian designer and I like it because it’s casual and fancy and it’s a clutch, which is different for me, and nice. I was given the bag last year at TIFF and I’ve actually used it, like constantly, for events and in real life. I’m not organized enough [for a wallet], so everything gets thrown into my purse. [My favourite makeup brand is] probably Bobbi Brown. I just started using more expensive makeup. I’m 25 so I was like k, finally I’ll buy some expensive makeup. It’s a lot better so I’m happy that I switched over. I couldn’t [live without eyeliner]. This one’s purple. I feel like black is too harsh sometimes so I use the purple one. [For red carpet events] I always like to do the old Hollywood look. So I like a bold lip and a winged liner. Probably my favourite makeup brand for events is MAC because I think it is designed for the camera and to be photographed. So that is generally the look that I go with.
