When I travel, make-up wise I bring:
- 1 quad with Carbon, Expresso, Shroom & Silver Ring
- 1 liquid liner in matte black
- Curler & tube of Bad Gal Lash
- 1 bottle of Face & Body (sealed in a condom if I'm flying
)
- 1 pressed compact of Blot with a puff inside
- 1 creme blush in a generic soft pink colour
- Bombshell lipstick
- 1 firm eyeshadow brush, 1 blending brush, 1 fine point brush.
Voila! With those eyeshadow colours I can do everything from soft and subtle to intense night looks and they're colours that can work with any outfit. I use Expresso to fill my brows with the fine point brush, which I also use with Carbon to create smokey lines. The blush works with any combination of those eyeshadows, the powder has its own applicator, F&B is a foundation that works really well when applied with fingers and can be built from sheer to heavy coverage. The biggest extravagence is the curler, but curled lashes can give the illusion of a full make-up look. It's all about maximising the bang for your buck with the absolute minimum of product - you don't need an entire traincase of colours you
might wear, but whittling it down to a small handful of colours that a.) work really well on you and b.) can be combined together to create different looks. Don't skimp on your skincare, though - you'll need it when you're moving through different climates and eating different food.
My entire travelling make-up kit fits inside a lunch box.
