Holiday makeup- what to take and what to leave at home

Packing is probably our least favourite part of our summer getaway.

Yes, we’re obviously excited but it’s just so damn stressful. Will I need one pair of jeans or two? Is five pairs of flip flops a bit excessive? And don’t even get us started on our makeup bag.

Unfortunately, bringing our whole makeup case is out of the question so we have to downsize.

But don’t worry because if you choose the right products you can achieve fabulous summer makeup without having to book an extra carry on.

Here’s what you should pack.

Foundation

You’ll need to bring a good makeup base when you go on holidays. Go for a nice light foundation that won’t clog up your skin. Make sure you remember to put on sunscreen too.

A small eyeshadow palette

While you won’t be applying eyeshadow every day on your holliers, its good to bring it along in case you want to get dressed up for a nice dinner or even hit the tiles. It will double up as an eyebrow powder too so it’s well worth the space.

Bronzer

Top up your natural tan with a little bit of bronzer.  It will enhance the natural tan you’re getting on holidays and you can also use it to do some light contouring.

A good highlighter

Emphasise your summer glow with a decent highlighter. It’s the perfect way to define your cheekbones and give you that dewy natural look that’s really popular this summer. We’re loving the brand new Megaglo Highlighting Powder from wet n wild at the moment.

Your trusty mascara

Because you just can’t leave it behind. A little lick of mascara can make you feel like a new woman but just remember to be careful in the pool. Nobody wants panda eyes.

 

 

One decent nail varnish

The right nail varnish will last you all week but it’s better to bring the bottle in case you need any last minute top ups. Save on space and bring a nail varnish that doesn’t need a separate clear top coat. wet n wild’s new 1 Step Wonder Gel drys in seconds with minimal fussing.
