I’m a extremely light packer when it pertains to makeup during vacation. I’ve discovered throughout the years that I end up not utilizing at least half of what I pack when I give myself as well lots of options. While on holidays, I essentially stay with one makeup look.  Here’s my makeup menu for the next 2 weeks:

Base:

• Lorac Behind the Scenes Eyeshadow primer

• Shiseido sheer & best foundation in O20 – I debated about which foundation to bring (the Vincent long Water Canvas was a contender) and this eventually won out because it consists of SPF, uses well, and can be used with fingers.

• Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector – the glass pot is as well troublesome to pack with me so I’ve scooped out a bit bit into this small sample container (review here)

• Shiseido natural finish cream Concealer in #2 Light medium – I also debated about which concealer(s) to bring. At first I was going to bring a separate one for under eye and another for general deal with concealing. this is a good all-around concealer – I don’t like it for under eyes but it’s workable. Unfortunately, I believe this concealer is discontinued.

• MAC Chromagraphic Pencil in NC15/NW20 – I compromised by bringing a concealing pencil – I such as this concealer pencil for pinpoint concealing and it’s helpful for highlighting the brow area or inner eye.

• Shiseido UV Protective Compact Foundation SPF 36 – I’m militant when it come to sunscreen while travelling. We’ll be costs a lot a lot more time outdoors than we usually do so I’m making sure to pile on the SPF whenever possible. and yup, that’s a sliver of pan showing!

• Vincent Longo Velour pressed Powder in beige #3 – this was a complimentary gwp and it’s a small 3g size which is best for bring in my handbag while I’m travelling. It even has a mirror.

Colour makeup:

• Tarte Tartelette Tease combination – I went back and forth whether I’d take this or the Smashbox trio I chosen up during Boxing week clearance, but in the end this won out simply because of the amount of colour combinations I can get out of this. If I was only going for one week, I would have gone with the Smashbox.

• Sana incredibly quick Matte liquid Eyeliner in Dark brown – I gotten this off eBay and it’s been a essential in my makeup routine. It produces a incredibly fine line on the upper lash line, and the brown colour is extremely natural looking

• MUFE Aqua Eyes eyeliner pencil in 24L Taupe – my go to lower lash line pencil, it supplies just a hint of colour. I keep a sharpener (the pink thing) on the end so I’m never without a sharpener.

• Shu Uemura brow:sword in Acorn – the Swiss army knife of brow products! This homes not only the pencil but also the spoolie and sharpener (review here)

• Etude house Dr. Mascara Fixer (review here) – I can’t live without my mascara primer!

• CoverGirl Clump Crusher mascara – I like this mascara especially for travelling – it supplies good definition but finest of all, I don’t need a lash comb with this. reality in advertising: absolutely no clumps with this mascara.

• Bourjois bit round Pot blush in 48 Cendre de rose Brun – these blushes are best for travel – they’re small and even include a mirror (they do include a clean but it’s useless)

• Shiseido best Rouge in RD351 Dreamscape – a warm rosy shade that’s easy to wear (review  & swatches here). Yup, I’m bringing just one lipstick.

Tools / Misc:

• MAC 237SH Eye Shader clean and 217SH Blending clean – these clean shapes are my a lot of reached for on a daily basis.

• Concealer clean – random brand

• Anna Sui Retractable deal with clean – I carry this around all the time in my makeup bag. It’s best for dusting powder or for applying blush.

• Muji Portable lash curler – I gotten both the full size and this travel version from Muji and I really like this one. It works well and it’s incredibly compact.

• Mary Kay appeal Blotters

Listing everything out it seems like a lot, but it’s not! They all in shape into this compact Smashbox roll-up case:

And, I rationalize that if I find myself missing anything, I can always go shopping for makeup! What type of a packer are you – do you bring 3 palettes and 10 lipsticks for a one week vacation?
