Travel Series: Top 10 Travel Makeup Essentials

Here are my top ten travel makeup essentials I love to take with me on every trip, whether it's a big international trip or just a short national trip to watch a live sports game. I will have these 10 items with me no matter what. 

A lot of these items are also part of my go to items when doing my makeup at home. 

Comment below with your favourite makeup items you like to take with you when travelling.

1. Avon Minerals Liquid Foundation - I am the shade Creamy Natural - this is a great all over coverage foundation while still being light to wear. It's also a mineral foundation which is great for my skin.  
2. Mascara - I love having mascara with me, it's a great way to make your eyes pop without needing anything else on them. 
3. Translucent Powder - I prefer a matte style translucent powder as I have an oily T-Zone. It's great for setting my foundation but I also love just throwing it on by itself to help control my oily skin while also looking like I'm wearing no makeup at all. Currently I am using Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder in the shade Transparent. 
4. Lucas Paw Paw Lip balm - miracle worker. Not only is it great for dry or cracked lips (which I am prone to) but it's also great for pimples, itchy bites or rashes. 
5. Favourite palette of the moment - I like to take a palette that has a good range of colours in it so that I am ready for any situation that may arise. Currently my favourite is Designer Brands Shimmer Palette.
   
6. Eye Lash Curler - Is this a makeup item? Well to me it is. I love having this on me and will use it most days even without mascara. I have naturally long lashes so love to give them a quick curl to make them stand out more on my face and open my eyes up. 
7. Natural Glow Lip Gloss in Sugar Rose - this is my go to lip balm. It is a great colour that suits me well and dresses up any outfit or makeup I have on at that time. 
8. Blush - My go to blush of all time is Natio brand in the shade Peach Glow. It's the perfect pinky peach colour and adds just that subtle bit of colour to cheeks to make me glow. 
9. Foldable Mirror - Again not sure if this is a makeup item exactly, but it is essential for me. I like to be able to get close to myself when doing my makeup therefore I'm not a huge fan of doing my makeup in bathroom mirrors, not to mention the light in hotel bathrooms is very artificial. Taking a folding all-in-one mirror allows me to do my makeup where I like with great natural light, it also allows me to get up close and personal with myself while doing it. This mirror is also great for putting my contacts in and out as it has a great magnifying side. 
10. Bobby Brown Lipstick in #26 Wild Rose. This is my favourite shade from Bobby Brown, it's the perfect shade of pink while also being a great bright pop of colour. {This was also my wedding day lipstick colour}
