Make Up Bag

"Make Up Bag" is a pop song performed by Tequila from her upcoming debut album. The song was written by Tequila and Tom Nichols, and produced by Jiant & Snowflakes.

Release and reception
The single was released in Europe first in May, followed by the United States two weeks later. The song did not perform well commercially in the US, however, was a big hit in European countries with a #1 in Bulgaria and a #2 in Germany and Croatia.

The song was met with mixed reviews. Popjustice praised the song as being "genius" and a "throw-back to the good old days of pure pop with a catchy chorus that infilitrates your mind and never leaves" however many criticised the use of autotuning and special effects on Tequila's voice and the simplistic lyrics where Tequila is literally singing about her love of her make-up bag.

Fellow diva Felicity alleged the song was about vaginas, a claim which Tequila disputes.

Music video
The music video for "Make Up Bag" premiered online in April 2008. It was directed by Matthew Rolston.

The video features several references to the 1980s style and music. There are five main sequences: the first features Tequila dressed in a crimson and white-chequered outfit, made by Jean Paul Gaultier, with futuristic sunglasses. The second has Tequila singing into a microphone in a blue recording room. The third scene is with a troupe of dancers. The fourth features Tequila in a yellow Cavalli dress dancing in a pink box. In the final scene, she dances in front of a giant fan wearing a Dolce & Gabbana dress. As the video concludes, the five scenes are intercut and gradually fade.
