My Travel Makeup Essentials
Hey y'all!
I am out here is the beautiful Ozarks! Right now I am sitting by the patio, sipping a mimosa waiting for my husband to finish cooking his famous bbq chicken and the arrival from my mom, BIL and SIL!
Unfortunately, what should be a picture perfect two weeks, have been kinda painful. Outside of the constant hiccups we had getting everything in order to head out of town, I have had this massive sty! I know, I know, a sty is no big deal.... and normally yes, you are right! I would just put a warm towel on it and it would all be good. This go round, it is so painful and even at times hinders my vision! It seriously has been a pain.. literally!
Enter #eyegate....
So while I have been trying to tame my eye I have been patiently waiting to pull out my favorite fall lip shades!
I seriously have a ton of makeup lol. One day I may have to pull it all out and show y'all my "collection" lol. But for now, let me share with you my traveling makeup essentials!
It's no secret that when traveling, your space is usually limited. And for me, my space is usually occupied by a kid lol.
My favorite fall lip color is this deep red liner and Rebel from MAC. They are gorgeous together! I love this primer from Smashbox as well. Not only do I apply it all over my face, but I also put a tad on my lips to keep the liner and lipstick from fading to quickly.

My Face: My skin skin changes so often and having the right shades are a must! One day my skin will look pretty fair and then the next day, it will be so dry! I tend to always travel with foundation, creams and powders. I don't always use them all but better safe than sorry right?! I am in love with my Maybelline foundation. It blends so well with my skin and it really makes me look "pore less". I also love this blush from MAC. It is called "dainty" and I literally wear it all the time. My Diamond glow powder is one of my favorite highlighters! It is so pigmented!
Applicators: Brushes and blenders are a huge factor in makeup. You want one that blends well and holds product well too. These are my daily brushes. I use my blender to apply my foundation, my contour brush (white) to make sure I am getting my powder precise, My blush brush (green) holds product perfectly and is big enough to only have to apply twice. My fan brush (wood) is used for my highlight and my round face brush ( black) is to dust off extra and blend.
My simple eye shadow look is definitely a secret weapon! The melon shade and the brown shade blend so well together that it gives an allusion of a light brown smokey eye. Plus the melon shade has a tad touch of shimmer so it looks great in the corner of your eye!
To take my simple shadow look to the next level, I use these MUST HAVES! My EYEKO liquid liner gives me the best wing! Plus it is jet black so it definitely adds some drama. My Makeup Forever Excessive Lash is the definition of DRAMA! I get the look of false lashes without having to actually put some on lol.
So there ya have it! Whenever I travel, do my makeup on the go or am in a rush, I pull out my go to stash of essentials!
Do you have any makeup essentials or must haves? Let me know in the comments below!

It is amazing! I love the way my face feels after I apply it :)
DeleteI must have my eyeliner and two types of mascara - one for thickening and the other to separate the lashes. Enjoyed reading your must haves.
ReplyDeleteYes! The eyes will make or break a face lol. Thank you!
DeleteI don't bring much make-up when I travel. I just usually have an eyeliner and a lipstick and that's it! These are worth checking out though. Gotta keep that face looking fresh!
ReplyDeleteI believe eye makeup is the most essential! That and something for the lips (gloss, balm).
DeleteThe collection of your make up range is really nice.. sharing some idea about travel make up is so necessary in these days as we women want both to travel and to look good at the same time..
ReplyDeleteYes! These items are my staple/go to items!
DeleteI truly feel you on the stye, I suffered on and off for a good couple of years with them and I know exactly how painful they can be. I would avoid eye make up until its settled and can I give you some stye advice? Someone on a Facebook group suggested I try huggies aloe vera wet wipes and amazingly they really helped. I hope yours gets better soon. I love your essential travel kit, beautiful collection of products! I really miss Smashbox primer, I must get it again!
ReplyDeleteThankfully it went away in a couple days so I was able to wear my makeup again lol. I haven't heard of that before! Hopefully I won't get another one ever again, but if I do, I will try that!
DeleteI absolutely love the Maybelline foundation! That's what I use too, and I've been going through bottles so fast! I just hope they improve their packaging and make it more easier to travel with.
ReplyDeleteThis foundation is perfect for the price range it is in!
DeleteAbsolutely in love with that lipstick color. Sorry to hear about the stye! My hubby gets them all the time. They are awful!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is my fall fave! Ugh it was awful! Hopefully I won't have one again.
DeleteI love how you don't carry a lot of makeup products, only essentials. I often go with similar products, but I take only 2 brushes with me.
ReplyDeleteMy travel makeup is definitely only a portion of what I really use lol. I over pack... A LOT! lol
DeleteOh, I saw a lot of products that I need to try! It's always fun to hear what everyone uses.
ReplyDeleteYes! I recommend trying all of these products!
DeleteWhat a gorgeous collection of makeup. When I travel I always have lip balm and some moisturizer to avoid dryness of my skin.
ReplyDeleteMoisturizers are very important as well. I use them but not like I should :(
DeleteThis is a great collection. I especially love that Mac lipstick, the shade is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love it!
Deletethis is such a nice picks for travel essentials. I like the shade of the lipstick, everyday kind of shade. The eyeko eyeliner looks nice.
ReplyDeleteI love both of these items. The eyeliner is amazing!
DeleteI like your travel products. Gave me a few tips to what to add to my kit.

ReplyDeleteI love my brushes! I have so many to be honest lol. Thank you!
DeleteWow these look great products, I love all of these on my bag every day, especially this EYEKO liquid liner. Great travel makeup essentials.
ReplyDeletethank you!
DeleteGreat arsenal to travel with! I try to keep it to a minimum and only bring the must haves!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Sadly, I must have these when I travel lol. I think I have a problem!
DeleteI love brushes and you have some great ones in your makeup bag. I would definitely travel with them.
