Travelling With Makeup

When traveling you always try to keep the amount of makeup you bring to a minimum. But we are all guilty of bringing
2 makeup bags, a brush role and 3 bags of skincare. And we all overestimate how much makeup we are actually going to wear.
So today I decided how you can pack your makeup and skin care for when you are travelling or going away for a weekend.

1. Choosing your makeup bag.
When choosing your makeup bag, keep in mind the amount of makeup your are going to bring. If you are only bringing a small amount take a small makeup bag (duh?!) but if you are going to be taking a lot (which I don't really recommend), you are going to need a good sized makeup bag, as you don't want to squeeze everything into a tiny bag, as this can cause breakages.

2. Picking your makeup.
Try not to bring very expensive makeup as there is a chance it could get damaged or broken. 
Keep it to a minimum. Only bring what you wear on a day-to-day basis and don't over do it. Try to bring 'do it all palettes. For example a palette that includes a concealer, powder, eye shadow and mascara. This will save you a lot of space in your bag/case and means you don't have to bring lots of individual products.

3. Picking your skincare.
Again, like the makeup, only bring the necessities.
-Makeup Remover, face wash, moisturiser and eye cream.
Also maybe take a trip to your local department store and ask for a few samples from brands such as Origins and Philosophy, as this will mean you won't have to take full size products which can take up a lot of room.

4. Post Brush Cleaning.
I always have and always will wash my brushes before taking a trip away. It saves you doing it while your away.

5. Clear toiletry bags.
If you are going to be travelling (especially if your going on a flight), I will always say to pack your products in clear ziplock bags, as it saves you from having to transfer all your toiletries when you get to the airport. Also make sure all your products have the correct 'weight' limit, as you can't always take full size products on a plane.

And that is how to pack your makeup and skincare in 5 simple steps. I hope this has helped/infoed you on how to travel with your makeup. Be sure to leave your post requests in the comments below or on out instagram, where we post a new photo every time we upload!
