Makeup Packing Savvy



When packing makeup for your trip, think about the items you actually use. Honestly, if you never use that cute turquoise liner at home are you really going to use it in Singapore (or Paris or wherever). Bring the basics in compact form - a GOOD foundation (especially a compact), a stick eyeshadow, a lipstick, and a highlighter is about all you really need. If you don't know what a highlighter is, it's a shimmery substance that comes in either stick, gel or powder form and usually comes in silver, gold and bronze. It's especially good for giving you that 'holiday glow' when you don't want to wear makeup (blend around the cheekbones, brow bones and eye sockets. Also remember that your skin doesn't change when you're on a trip - you'll still need your cleanser, toner and moisturizer. You should probably lay off the exfoliation. You're likely to be stressed from travel, and using a mechanical exfoliant can only stress your skin further.
