I typically pack my travel makeup bag in the same way with a few tweaks depending on what products I'm loving at the moment. Must-have staples for me include:
- a waterproof brow pencil (I won't leave my hotel room with sparse brows)
- eyelash curler for days when I'm lazy but still want to look bright-eyed
- MAC pencil in coffee which stays put for me through any water activity
- sheer lip pencils/products because I like to keep it light in warmer summer-type weather
- cream shadows and blushes because it's easier to apply over my sunblock and I prefer these in humid environments
- mattifying powder because I don't like looking like a greaseball
- a mascara for simple everyday and one for more glam
- concealer and de-potted eye cream
- only essential brushes (powder, blush, and undereye)
- pencil sharpener
- travel mask (new in my travel bag but after a wonderful experience that I just reviewed, now a must-have)
There you have it, a peek inside my makeup bag overseas. What are your staples?
All great items! Eyebrows define the face so much so making sure they look great is so important :) The Maybelline mascaras and Revlon Lip butters are a great choice too!
