I’m sorry for the delay in postings, but I have just been on vacation (YAY!). I thought it would be fun to see what we bring with us in our makeup bags when we travel.
I love traveling light. I’d rather go without than be weighed down. The few things I pack are soft knitted separates that can be mixed and matched endlessly, and don’t need ironing: a jersey dress, a cardigan, leggings, skirt, tanks. This can last me two weeks! My makeup kit is similar:
- Powder-Me SPF Dry Sunscreen.
- PurePressed Base Mineral Foundation (used as foundation, sun block, and concealer. Really, it is my new favorite concealer, applied with the Sculpting Brush to my under eye circles and the redness around the corners of my nose).
- Pommisst Hydration Spray – brilliant for dry planes, in a travel-friendly 2 oz. bottle.
- Double Dazzle Highlighter Pencil for a touch of shimmer on the lids or full cocktail party eyes; as well as lip color when needed.
- Black Eye Pencil for the water line and lash lines.
- LipDrink Lip Balm.
While this may sound like vacation packing (and it is) I use this formula for business travel as well. I might add my favorite Uniqlo blazer and one PurePressed Eye Shadow Triple instead of the Glimmer Gold.
My dear friend and colleague Laura is always prepared for everything, and her travel makeup kit proves it. When travelling, she will be equally confident on a hike in the woods or at a red carpet event, because in her Quilted Makeup Bag she packs:
- Deluxe Travel Size Dream Tint Tinted Moisturizer
- Active Light Under-eye Concealer
- PurePressed Base Mineral Foundation
- Moonglow Quad Bronzer
- So-Bronze 3
- 2 Hydration Sprays- Pommisst and D20 (WHY? Because she likes to have options)
- Lid Primer
- 2 Longest Lash Thickening and Lengthening Mascaras – Black Ice and Espresso
- PureLash Lash Extender & Conditioner
- 2 Cream to Powder Eyeliners- Black Plus and Black/Brown
- Champagne Eye Gloss
- PurePressed Eye Shadow Triple – Brown Sugar (this is the one I would bring too. it is so versatile!)
- Perfectly Nude Eye Shadow Kit
- Double Dazzle Highlighter Pencil
- Powder-Me SPF Dry Sunscreen
- 4 PureGloss Lip Glosses (depending on the season…) Apricot Fizz, Cotton Candy, Soft Peach, Pink Candy
- 2 Lip Pencils– Nude and Spice
- LipDrink Lip Balm
- Pencil Sharpener
- 10 Brushes: Blending, Camouflage, Handi, White Fan, Detail, Deluxe Shader, Crease, Smudge, Deluxe Spoolie, Eye Brush/Comb
I wrote to Jane while she was on vacation to see what she had packed. She wrote back:
- PurePressed Base Mineral Foundation
- D20 Hydration Spray
- Dark Topaz Mystikol
- Powder-Me SPF Dry Sunscreen, too, of course.
- PureLash Lash Extender and Conditioner and PureLash Lengthening Mascara,
- oh and Whisper PurePressed Blush which I can also use on my eyes.
Now it’s your turn. Please share your travel tips! What do you bring in your makeup kit when you travel?
