Travel Makeup That's Easy to Pack

You asked for a travel makeup video. You got it! Here Duncan Smith, a professional makeup artist, and I show how to look great anywhere on a trip with only eight small products. Duncan gave me a natural look, but you can go more dramatic just by using a deeper-colored travel palette.

To film this video, my friend Brett brought in his Canon 5D and 7D so you can clearly see Duncan apply the makeup. I was quite excited about this upgrade from my tiny camera. Thanks to my mom for spontaneously stepping in as the second camera operator. You can catch a glimpse of her in the mirror at times:)

When I was partway through editing this video, my computer started to crash and couldn't keep up with the footage, so I had to edit most of it in slow motion. Fingers crossed...let's see how it turns out!! Can't wait to edit my next video on my new Mac. See ya later! XOXK

I really like the "natural" look. I feel like it can never go wrong, so I'm glad that was featured in this video! I also frequently having trouble figuring out what to buy when it comes to shopping for makeup, so thanks for including specific products too!  Thanks!

I agree! The Bobbie Brown Brick seems to be a life saver. I really like how you can find a palette that matches you own skin town. Very cool blush trick! Thanks for the tips!

I really love the idea of using a creme based foundation and as a way to hold on my eyeshadow. I'm going abroad next summer on Semester at Sea so I have to pack extremely light. I loved all your ideas to scale down my huge collection of cosmetics and only take what I need with me. Can't wait for the next video!

Thanks! I've never tried using eye shadow as an eye liner before... I'm definitely going to try that out, it sounds awesome! I also love the NARS blush.. I have the powder version of the orgasmic blush and absolutely love the color!
