TRAVEL MAKEUP BAG

If you are reading this blog post when I have posted it, then I will be in the airport ready to go on holiday which I am super excited about. I always love making these posts whenever I go on holiday and so I wanted to do an updated one. My travel makeup bag has changed a lot of the year and so instead of going through every product individually, I thought I'd do little summaries and then just list the products as I go along. 

For base products, I have tried to keep it super minimal. As I am going to a hot country, I don't want anything that is going to be too heavy or thick and so I have chosen to skip foundation completely. I would probably have skipped primer too, but the one I am bringing has nearly run out so I plan on not bringing it on the way back from my holiday. Since I am not bringing any foundation, I am bringing quite a few concealers. As I tan quite quickly, I am going to be lots of different shades over the time I am on holiday for so I am bringing four concealers all in different shades, but when you think about it, that still takes up less room than a foundation, or at least that is how I am justifying it. Some of the concealers I have brought are full coverage, but I am also bringing thinner ones to help blend them out. On holiday, I will sometimes want more coverage, especially if it is of an evening so I wanted to bring four concealers that I can do everything with, match me when I am pale, tan or somewhere in between and also when I want some light or something more full coverage. The rest of the base is pretty straight forward, some powders and a liquid highlight, all to look super fresh and glowy on holiday.

For eyes, I have tried to keep it simple. I love my custom palette for travelling, it really helps me to just have everything in one place, all nice and condense so that is how I am storing my eyeshadows. I am also enjoying filling my eyebrows in with powder right now so I know I will be able to use that palette as eyeshadow also, which gives me even more range. Most other things are pretty straight forward too. I am bringing a liquid eyeshadow, just to mix things up a bit, something quick and easy to apply. Obviously, waterproof mascara is essential also for a hot holiday.

Finally for lips, nothing crazy, just some really staple lip products that will be super versatile and perfect for every day. A lot of them are minis which is why I am bringing them just because they do save space and are very convenient to travel with, especially if you know you are going to wear them a lot. Since I tend to stick to nude lips, I have tried to bring a range of different formulas so I have a matte liquid lip, a creamy lipstick and a gloss as well as a liner that I will be able to pair with all of them.
