I don't often travel with makeup, as I usually apply it before I leave to go anywhere. However, when you have the honor of working the early bird shift at the pool, getting a few extra minutes of sleep always trumps whatever it's up against.
I try to bring travel size things as much as possible, so it fits into my makeup bag (without filling it to the brim), as well as my favorite products. I also like to bring things that I can use up, so that I have less clutter in my stash of stuff.
I'm on a real roll with Rimmel products of late, especially with eye products. I decided to only bring their Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer this time around, and wear NARS Charade duo over that, which is lovely and was bought because MissGlamorazzi praised it so highly. Curl with the shu uemura eyelash curler and top off with two offerings from L'Oreal: Voluminous Carbon Black and Voluminous Million Lashes Waterproof. I'm curious to top these together and see what happens!
For my eyebrows I'm sticking with my usual MAC Charcoal Brown, which I've been favoring more over Omega of late, as I am liking the intense brow look. Finish with Maybelline's Great Lash Clear Mascara and the brows are set.
Having blemish prone skin means my skins is always pink tinged and has noticeable pores. I was lucky enough to get quite a hefty sample of Too Faced Primed & Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer, so we'll see how that works out! The foundation and concealer of choice will be from the Wake Me Up line from Rimmel. The foundation in Classic Beige is a perfect match for me right now, as I am losing my tan slightly. The concealer in Light has a hint of salmon, so it's perfect under my eyes and covers the evidence of my lack of sleep quite well.
As for setting powder, I'll be busting out the Rimmel Stay Matte in Translucent: I have never used it before, but have heard great things, so it'll mentioned in a Test Drive post soon enough. Two more sample sized offerings are the NARS Laguna bronzer and Benefit's Watt's Up highlighter - I've used both and quite like them paired together. And who could forget Hourglass's Ambient Lighting Powder in Dim Light - I swear this stuff is photoshop in a pan. I love wearing it and I really can tell a difference when I forgot to put it on - I just don't look as awesome.
Finally, my current lip combo: Covergirl's Lip Perfection in Mauve Twist and NARS Lip gloss in Chihuahua. Though I'm not a big fan of lip gloss in general, I do really like the color I get from this.
What do you have in your travel makeup bag?
