The one thing we can fall into the trap of doing is over packing every. single. time. especially when it comes to your makeup and beauty bags. In excitement to plan for nights of partying, days of photo taking and plenty of beach side Instagram shots, you might try to shove a little too many products in one bag, so let’s take a look at how to pack your beauty bag for holidays without going over your weight limit.
Palette it up
Palettes, palettes, palettes. Investing in palettes with multiple eye, cheek and face colours is essential for minimal packing. With this technique, you are able to pack multiple makeup looks in one or two palettes which will suit your day to night face. Palettes are a money and space saver, and are seriously perfect for taking on holidays.
Know your max
Unless you’re a lipstick addict, sticking to a bold nighttime colour and a neutral daytime colour is a good decision. The same goes for nail polish – stick to one for your whole trip (it makes touch ups way easier). Take your trusty shades that complement your style and most clothing options that you’ll be taking on the trip, and just remember, you can always buy new ones on your journeys or get your nails done at local salons to see the latest trends.
Travel-Sized Everything
Not only are travel sized products super adorable, you can fit so many things in one small bag! Travel sized products makes it easy to take shampoo, conditioner and dry shampoo so you don’t really have to skimp on the things you use on a regular basis. You can buy almost everything you need in a travel or mini sizes from Sephora.
Go for two in ones
Want to take your tanner and your moisturiser on holidays? Why not invest in a tanning moisturiser to keep skin supple and give you colour – it saves space! You can use soap as shaving cream, a BB cream as your base and lip and cheek in one pencils are great ways to get double the product in half the space.
