If I'm going to the beach, it would be a msf natural, love nectar l/g, golden bronzer, concealer, and lash blast/badgal waterproof.

When I went to Vegas a few weeks ago, I brought 2 palettes (one brights and one smokey), GAT l/s, hug me l/s, blacktrack, liquid foundation plus the above. Oh and brushes. Sounds like a lot but for a town like Vegas I had to pack heavy (or at least thats my excuse, lol).

Honestly, I had a favorite and LE MAC blush crumble due to traveling with it (It was a MAC Barbie beauty powder), so since then, I leave my faves at home, and take drugstore stuff with me (at least when it comes to powder products that can shatter). I have a Physicians Formula eye palette (palettes are your friend for traveling) and a Jane blush I tote along with me. Since I don't have to worry about lip stuff being ruined, I don't mind taking my favorite MAC stuff with me, though I pack light so I usually just choose one color scheme to work with the whole trip (depending on what season it is), and pack one lipglass and one lipstick.

For foundation stuff, I just pack my usual. And I also shove in Rosebud Salve for the plane, blotting papers (even though planes are dry, I somehow still get oily on them) and blotting powder in a compact.

on the plane/to-go includes:
- a facial moisturizer (cuz it gets super dry with the recycled/recirculated air)
- fluidline
- a multitasker... i.e. cream color base that can be applied for lips, eyes, and cheeks
- lip balm... tinted if you want to be fancy
- body/hand lotion (a salve like the rosebud salve can solve combine this with lip balm)
- hand sanitizer
- facial wet cloths

for your luggage if you want to go overseas, I reccommend...
- e/s quads (1 basic/neutral and 1 color/for going out) because they're so much easier to carry around
- 1 neutral l/s and 1 color l/s
- 1 clear gloss/sheer dazzleglass if you want that extra oomph
... and whatever else you fill as a necessity

hope that helps I travel a lot with road trips and plane trips... lol

-painterly paint pot
-UDPP/TFSI
-studio fix powder
-eyeliner of any brand, though probably a liquid, even though I use gel at home.
-a single blush. Probably a maybelline one, since all my MAC blushes are in palettes and I don't want to travel with the whole palette
-a small assortment of eyeshadows--Usually drugstore singles. I don't like to travel with makeup items that I'd be *really* upset about if I lost them.

^I went away a few months ago and brought wayyyyy to much stuff with me. In the end all I needed was:

MSF Natural Duo (You get your powder and highlight in one! Best idea ever

)
Smoking Eyes Quad
Feline Kohl Power
Format Blush
Lip Balm
Clear Lipgloss
Sugar Trance lipglass
#219, #252, #224, #226, Kabuki and #116 Brushes
Blotting Tissues
Fix+

I pretty much kept to a natural kind of look because I didn't really have that much time to make myself up most of the time and there was really no need to.

It depends on where I go, but most of the time I don't bring much. I have a little cargo travel palette that has e/s, blush, powder and bronzer in it and then I will bring a few lippies and that's it.


All my skincare and other misc items I just pour into little travel jars.

My rule is if I would be heartbroken if it broke or was stolen by a maid... I don't bring it.

I tend to not wear much makeup when I am traveling anyways.
