For makeup lovers, traveling with your stash of makeup must-haves is a no brainer. Doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re travelling for pleasure or work. Problem is, sometimes those makeup \u2018must-haves\u2019 turn into half your suitcase space. Ultimately, traveling with makeup also means traveling makeup smart \u2013 that means downsizing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few tips for the traveller whose makeup is essential:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Consider travel-size products \u2013 lots of foundations (liquid and cr\u00e8me) have travel-size options; if yours doesn\u2019t consider \u2018depotting\u2019 \u2013 putting just enough product into a smaller bottle or jar instead of carrying the larger item. Remember you\u2019re allowed up to 3oz containers in your carry-on.<\/li>
  2. Don\u2019t pack the 36-colour eye shadow palettes \u2013 try two mini palettes or up to three quads. Same applies to blush palettes. Do you really need the one with 24 colour options?<\/li>
  3. Lipsticks and glosses can be bulky \u2013 run through your outfits and the looks you want to accomplish pre-travel and take only the lipsticks you really need. Nude is always a winner!<\/li>
  4. Skin care is always a must. If your preferred products don\u2019t come in travel-size, invest in the travel-size kits from your local drugstore and pour your products into the smaller bottles\/jars. Same applies to shampoos and conditioners.<\/li>
  5. Look for multi-use products e.g. an eye shadow that can double as a lip colour.<\/li>
  6. Don\u2019t walk with your full complement of makeup brushes and sponges. If you\u2019re a makeup lover, you know well enough that only 4 or 5 brushes can suffice.  <\/li>
  7. Packing your makeup well is also critical to avoid spillage and breakage. Create a protective barrier around your cosmetic bag by wrapping it in your clothing. Get a good makeup bag too that has adequate pockets and brush holders.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Unless you\u2019re a professional makeup artist and you need your entire makeup artillery, the tips above should make travelling with your makeup a lot simpler. Happy travelling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
