I love make up and spending a good hour with my many lotions and potions is like heaven to me but being a make up lover and travelling isn’t easy. It’s always hard to pack all the make up you need for a trip with out ending up going over your hold baggage weight or ramming it all in those plastic zip lock bags hoping that no one notices you have more liquid than the whole of duty free. If you are like me you plan looks, have pigments, powders and liners galore but realistically when it comes to it you are either having too much of a good time or are so relaxed you can’t be bothered to spend ages on your make up. The best solution is to just pack an eye pallet and a few lippy’s and hope for the best.
There are hundred’s of pallets out there but I don’t think you can get better value for money than an Urban Decay Naked pallet (£38.50). Recently I tried only packing my Urban Decay Naked 2, some mascara, base, highlight/bronze, 2 blushers (pink tone and coral tone) and a few lipsticks. My make up bag wasn’t bulging and for once I didn’t go over my weight limit. I also only allowed myself 15 – 20 minutes for make up every evening so I could make the most of my trip! These looks are simple, quick and perfect for packing light.
