MAKEUP TRAVEL KIT - WHAT I TAKE

This is a video on what I'll be bringing for my business trip to the USA.

Essentially, palettes and samples can really help with reducing bulk. I'm already thinking that I have one or 2 brushes too many - I think my Benefit Powder brush can cover what I want my Smashbox blush brush & BB kabuki so I won't be bringing the last 2!

Another tip I forgot to mention is using cellotape around bottles such as the Boots makeup spray so that it doesn't go everywhere.

I'm trying to really pare it down and fit everything in one makeup bag - as I'll also be making some makeup purchases!

Thanks for tuning in - and see you in 2weeks!

I am glad I found this video :) I will be going to london in a few days so I am also trying to take as little make up as possible! Question dear, which drugstore straightener do you recommend to buy there since my american straightener isnt compatible? Picking out which toiletries to travel with is harder for me than packing clothes, ridiculous I know! Great video thank you :)

Hi there - glad it was of help!

I'm afraid my hair is straight enough as it is - seriously it doesn't hold a curl or wave! - that I can't help you with that. Check out lollipop26's channel as she would have a good rec.

But you could always buy an electrical adapter so you could still use your US straightener - would be much cheaper!

hiya, you have a similar hair colour to me I have used the smashbox brow tech in both taupe and brunette theyre ok, but I really like Benefits brow-zing in the darkest colour, try it! and let me know how you get on.

hi! Thanks for the tip I will look at Benefit for sure. I'm actually loving using the dark brown shade from one of MAC's hols palettes - perfect for my colour

This is great! Unfortunatley I ended up bringing a crapload of makeup with me when I moved to Australia! Why? I don't know! haha

Questions: Do you wear makeup on the plane or do you apply it once you arrive to your destination?

What do you recommend one should wear on the plane because I usually have to go all out and I hate layering foundation only to let it get all cakey during a 12+ hour flight :(

I don't wear mu on the plane - unless it's a really short 2 hr trip then I'd do mascara or blushes/bronzer but I find the plane environment so drying and harsh that I don't tend to have anything on my face except moisturiser.

I'd recommend really going without mu on the plane but if you really have to I'd just suggest some tinted moisturiser, concealer, basic mascara and a cream blush. Really basic!

on a plane trip I wear light cream based makeup so tinted moisturiser, concealer, a light cream shadow, lipgloss and cream blush all quite subtle nude, light colours so I can layer some moisturiser or spritz my face and then you just do your normal face closer to your arrival before the plane gets all shakey. hope this helps.
