For most of us make-up has become an inseparable part of our lives. Be it running a quick errand at the nearest market or dressing up for an occasion. From a basic kohl and lip-gloss for a casual look to an elaborate 2 hours makeover session for that special day. A lunch session with the gal pals or a date with the special one. Best friends bachelors party to cousins wedding day. We all love to have our make-up and beauty products around. We love to carry it with us, wherever we go.
But traveling can restrict me from carrying a lot of my favorite stuff. I may carry most of my stuff but yet miss the favorite lipstick I left behind in my dresser drawer thinking I may not use it. How do you organise your travel makeup and beauty kit? How do you prioritize?
I follow a few tips on that help me set my travel make-up kit ready.
Sort essentials –
I always sort out what is my must haves for the travel and what I can do without. For example – I have to carry my 3 step skin care, anti aging serum , hand cream, body lotion, lip balm. With regards to make-up I need my kohl, eyelash curler, mascara, travel size brushes, nude lipstick, bb cream, eye-shadow primer.
Organize as per the occasion and look I want to achieve –
Depending on what are I am dressing for and what look I want to achieve I pack my make-up. For Example – For a typical Indian day wedding I would not miss out on warm color eye shadow palette, darkest kohl I have, peachy or pink blush for the sunny effect and my sunscreen lotion. For a bachelors night out with friends I would definitely need my smokey eye palette, nude lipstick , highlighter and flush pink blush.
Carry miniatures –Makeup Travel Tips:-
To get the right look with the makeup, accessories play a pivotal part. The powder blushes need blush brushes. Eye makeup needs a set of brushes depending on how you plan to do up your eyes. Mascaras don’t perform the best without curling the eyelashes. I carry miniatures of these essentials. For example, I carry mini eyelash curler, mini travel make-up brushes and eyeshadow palettes instead of individual eye-shadows.
Refill in travel size kits –
I don’t like to skip the beauty or make-up routine because I may not get the look I would like to achieve with my skin is not feeling up to it. I ensure I carry my skin care and beauty essentials with me whenever I travel. It’s like food for the skin. I ask for sampler of the full size products that I buy and use them as my travel companions. If they are refillable I ensure I refill them. Many drug stores have these kits that have small refillable bottles that’s permissible for air travel. They could also be a good option. Else I use small used (clean) bottles to refill.
Use make-up pouches
‘ I reach my travel destination and just when I am getting ready for a beach party , I open my luggage to find that my opened eye-shadow palette and broken eyeliner have dyed my favorite peach colored sarong like a tie-n-dye dupatta’. Gosh!!! What a nightmare it could turnout. You never know how your baggage is handled during your journey. I always carry my make up in plastic/plastic coated pouches. They not only organize my makeup for easy access but also save me from any damage or pilferage and look very very cute.
What’s your ideas on travel make-up and beauty?
