My "Travel" Makeup

So when I travel, and it's not a makeup event, I travel pretty light with makeup. I obviously take enough to do brows and full face, but I don't do the lashes and sculpted brows and all that jazz.  My makeup case isn't a small one that fits in your purse but it's not the size of a train case either. It's like a true travel cosmetic bag for vacations and stuff. As you already know I'm a huge fan of getting deluxe sizes of things for free or in value sets from Sephora or wherever. I do this mainly for travel purposes. Some of the things I'm showing here are travel size.

What I take:

Dr. Jart+ Black Label Detox Beauty Balm (travel size)
Nivea Milk and Honey lip balm
Laura Mercier Oil Free Foundation
IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye Corrector
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Diffused Light
Hourglass Ambient Blush in Luminous Flush
MAC Careblend Pressed Powder in Dark
Lorac Behind the Scenes eye primer (travel size)
Tarte eyeshadow quad "For Rich Browns"
Makeup Geek "Immortal" gel liner
Loreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara Waterproof
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo
Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Lovely
Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray (Travel size)

Seems like alot I know. That doesn't even cover the skincare that I take but it's not near as much.

Most of the things I take color wise are just the most flattering on my skin ie: The tarte palette, blush, and lipstick. I also choose things that can multitask for me though. The Dr Jart can act as a primer and moisturizer somewhat so thus I don't bring primer especially since I take setting spray and oil free foundation. The Ambient Powder that I take can set my under eye area as well as powder my face and be a subtle highlight. The blush I choose not just for color but also because it's infused with the Ambient Powder in Luminous Light which is a more noticeable highlight so when you use the blush it can add a glow to the cheeks as well so there's no need to take a highlighter with me. 

I choose the products that I know won't fail and will hold up very well no matter. So the foundation being oil free is full coverage and a good medium color if I'm paler or more tan it's matte so if I was to get dewy it wouldn't collapse and break apart. The concealer is a natural satin type finish which I really liked. It also holds up very well and is my preferred concealer for under the eye. The gel liner won't budge so I don't have to worry about it melting. The setting spray will keep everything in place. The lipstick being a "Liquid Lipstick" won't move as much either and is also a perfect neutral. For contouring I don't take my contour palette I just take a dark face powder. I choose the MAC one because it blends easily and the color will work as a bronzer or a contour. I also really like the Tarte Smooth Operator face powders too in Medium and Tan for that as well.

I didn't talk about every product cause there's not a need. So to sum this up I take the products that hold up the best, are most flattering, and do the most for my needs.
