Hey y’all! Today, I’m going to be showing you how the best way to simplify your beauty routine when you’re traveling. I know how hard it is to decide on one nude MAC lipstick to take on a trip or how excruciating it can be to decide between packing the Naked 2 or 3 palette. To those of you fellow makeup lovers, you. are. not. alone. My parents are divorced, so I have to pack allllll the time. I have also been traveling a lot this summer. While I still consistently overpack my clothes, I feel as though I’ve gotten pretty good at packing in terms of beauty items, so I decided I would share with you all my travel beauty routine!
Let’s start off with my makeup bag…
- Mini Too Faced Hangover X Primer
- Bobbi Brown Foundation stick (Not only is this stuff compact, but it is buildable which really is key for traveling. This also means that you can use it as a spot treatment, so you don’t have to bring one.)
- Mini NARS Creamy Concealer
- Soap & Glory One Heck of a Blot (I love setting my face with loose, translucent powder, but it is so impractical when you are traveling! So, I always opt for a pressed powder.)
- NARS Blush & Bronze Duo in Orgasm/Laguna
- Stila Compact Eyeshadow in Kitten (I’m so mad at myself because I forgot to photograph this, and it was my best trick! This eyeshadow is also an amazing highlighter, and it’s tiny which makes it perfect for traveling.)
- Tarte Tartelette Tease Palette (This tiny palette has the perfect blend of matte and shimmery shadows you need for a trip.)
- Mini Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Zero
- Mini Tarte Lights Camera Lashes (SAVE YOUR MASCARA SAMPLES! These are the best for packing! This one also happens to be my favorite mascara.)
- Anastasia Brow Definer
- MAC Lipstick in Hug Me
- Mini Kat Von D Lock-It Makeup Setting Mist
And now, on to skincare…
- Sephora Collection Far & Away Silcone Travel Tube (Your skin can go crazy when you’re in a new environment — especially if you’re flying. Be safe and take your usual face cleanser. I like this travel container because it is silicone and gives a little, so it won’t explode on the plane.)
- Cortizone 10 Ointment (This may seem weird, but every time I have any texture on my face, I put it on under my moisturizer. When I wake up, it’s gone! I always pack this with me because who knows what your skin will do in a new environment!)
- doTERRA Melaluca Oil
- Generic Travel Size Moisturizer
Now, hair! A couple of my followers on Instagram requested for me to do a tutorial on how to achieve big, voluminous curls with a straightening iron. I really do think that this is the trick to an ultra-simplified travel beauty routine. Curling irons are so heavy, and you can do so many styles with just a straightener! Why bring both?! I personally really like curling my hair like this even when I’m not traveling. So, here you have it:
Anyone else make super weird faces in the mirror at yourself when you’re getting ready? Hope you all enjoyed!
