Top 3 Tips for Travelling with Makeup
Airport security is possibly one of the most stressful parts of travelling. Especially when it comes to travelling with cosmetics. You want to take everything you own, but equally, know that's just not possible. What we like to do is pack smart rather than light. Find out how to do the same with your makeup below.
Pack Your Makeup as You Apply It
Our favourite trick when it comes to travelling with makeup is to pack as we do our makeup routine. That way you can be sure you don't forget anything but equally that you won't take a lot of products that you won't necessarily use. So, go through your usual makeup routine and pack the essentials as you go. Be tough with yourself and ask what do you really need. For example with lipstick, it's tempting to grab a whole selection of shades, but once you're away you only ever really wear one or two shades. We recommend going for one bold shade and one neutral shade. Plus our Cream Glaze Crayons are moisturising all-in-one pencil, gloss and lipstick combinations. So you get the hydration you need with conditioning Mango Oily and Shea Butter as well as impressive pigmentation payoff. What's more, it has a built-in sharpener in the lid making this lip crayon a no-brainer for travelling.
Makeup Palettes
To really minimise your makeup bag, take makeup palettes so you don't have to bulk up your bag with lots of different bits-and-bobs.- For your eye shadow makeup, we'd suggest neutral eye makeup kits like the Elemental Eye Collection so you can create a variety of looks that would match any outfit.
- With a contour palette, you get your setting powder, your bronzer and your highlighter all in one nifty-package, so you cut down 3 products into 1.
- Similarly, with an eyebrow kit like the Brow Quad, you get two brow powder shades to customise your colour, a wax to set the hairs in place (so you won't need a liquid brow gel) and a brow-bone highlighter.
Liquids
It's hard to cut corners when it comes to liquids, there are some things you just can't go without such as shampoo, conditioner, sunscreen and body cream. What you can do is find alternatives that are airport-friendly. For example, you can switch your liquid foundation to a powder foundation or choose a powder-to-liquid cleanser rather than a liquid cleanser. One of our favourite products is Pressed Base which is one of our best-selling foundations. It's a mineral powder foundation that provides incredible coverage and is suitable for all skin types! Equally, a fantastic travel-friendly skincare product is the Daily Polishing Cleanser. A two-in-one cleanser and exfoliator, this unique formulation starts off as a powder and when mixed with water can be massaged into the skin to penetrate pores, decongest skin and brighten the complexion. With a mix of super-ingredients such as Salicylic Acid and Jojoba Beads, you can't go wrong with this fantastic combination skin cleanser.
