Concealer
Having a hard working concealer is a must have for any trip that you’re expecting now to get much sleep. Packing a high coverage concealer such as the NARS is a great one for as it has a slim tube.
Makeup Brushes
These little makeup brush travels set are specifically designed to travel places. These portfolios are almost as thin as your passport. To double up and take full advantage, add a few plasters, pain killers and Q tips and then you also have a first aid kit.
Nail polish
On those longer trips, you have to keep on top of your tips. Pack your favourite nail polish so you can touch up your nails when on the go.
Fragrance
So having those beautiful fragrance bottles out on your dressing table looks great, but when it comes to travelling light, you want a bottle that is travel sized. We found that these vials from Clean Reserve will slip into your bag.
Mascara
Mascara is a given. When we are travelling we often switch mascara’s to a waterproof one so that it covers all weathers whilst away. You don’t wanna get caught in a downpour and look like a panda crying. Also if you are in a pinch, you can double up mascara as eyeliner.
