What are the essentials, what can we live without? If you find it hard condensing your makeup into a must-have travel makeup kit, then follow our top tips for downsizing your cosmetic purse and make traveling as minimally as glamorous as possible.

Match eyeshadows with your outfits

Bring one mascara and make it waterproof

Take just one mascara with you and make sure it is waterproof, so it remains smudge-free whatever you are doing.

Fake flawless skin
Primer is usually applied under the base. The job of a face primer is to fill in the pores and fine lines, creating a smooth-looking skin. If you pick a tinted primer like the Tinted Perfection Base Primer & Pore Minimiser, you can use it all by itself on days you are in no mood for heavy makeup. It fills in the pores and gives you a little coverage. Wear it over your moisturizer and flaunt flawless, matte skin all day long.
