So I took all these photos almost a month ago when I got back from my trip to Edinburgh. This is what I brought on that trip and how I did my makeup when I was there. It's very easy to keep your makeup collection small on a trip (even small enough to fly Ryanair!) if you plan. Here are a few tips followed by a tutorial.
Tips to pack light:
- do you need a makeup brush, or can it be applied with clean fingers?
- ask for samples (sephora and lush but give tons and tons of samples if you ask. Next time you want a new moisturiser ask for samples of a couple before you buy one, keep the samples after you've tried them so you can take them on trips.
- join sephora beauty insider. The minis you get are perfect for travel.
- multitask: a lip crayon works as blush, highlighter works as eyeshadow, brown liner can do eyebrows and eyes, you get it. . .
- you're not going to prom, you don't need to look perfect. I skipped foundation to save time and space in my bag.
And an easy tutorial:
You need a cheap lip crayon, moisturiser (mini), highlighter (mini, or sheer eyeshadow pot), and mascara (mini).
1. But a smear of moisturiser on your cheeks
2. Draw over smear with lip pencil. Blend over cheeks.
3. Apply crayon to lips
4. Apply highlighter to eyes cheeks, etc.
Had to go find a window for the highlighter to be visible.
5. Add mascara and go enjoy your travel!:)
