How to assemble a travel makeup bag: 9 tips

If care and makeup mean something to you, for sure, and you prefer to travel with your favorite banks. Today, many brands produce road formats of funds, but despite the endless selection of miniatures, the risk of taking half the suitcase under cosmetics remains. Here are some simple rules that will help make a travel cosmetic bag compact and useful.
Make a list of important tools
Think about what kind of makeup you use every day: usually it is a cleanser, sanskrin, a basic moisturizer. Something on a short trip can be waived - for example, if you use products with active ingredients a couple of times a week, they are easier to leave at home. The same applies to make-up: bright shadows and lipstick "on the way out" on the journey, most likely, will not be useful, and it always makes sense to take with you.
Buy road banks
Miniatures look charming, but in fact they are often not the most desired purchase. In mini-formats, it is worth acquiring unless the means that can be used not only on trips, for example, the same Sanskrin or mascara: they can always be used to the end. And for the right products in liquid textures, it is worth buying convenient small cans to pour shampoos, conditioners and cleansers into them before the trip - you will need no more than four or five of these bottles. Plastic can be found in H & M, and silicone - in the "Girlfriend". In addition, they can be used many times and do not produce excess garbage.
Pick up universal travel products
Universal makeup products that can be used in different ways so as not to get bored are especially good on trips: tint for lips and cheeks, multifunctional pencils, lipsticks that can be applied to the eyes. Pigments, mixers and tools sharpened for professional use are unlikely to make life easier on the road, and products for “amateur” make-up quite justify the reputation of mobile - for example, you can even make eyebrows with Shiseido Kajal InkArtist Shadow soft pencil.
Replace the liquid part of the solid
It is more convenient to transport them both in luggage and in hand luggage - if only because they will not fill the suitcase or backpack exactly, and it is much easier to store solid foods. Sanskrins, tonal means and highlighters in sticks can be found in brands in almost any price category. For solid care, contact Lush and Milk Makeup.
Do not take large accessories on the trip
Most modern products are easily applied with your fingers, so most often you can do without brushes, but if they are an important part of your ritual, then you should opt for sponges and folding tools (such brushes can be found at Chanel and in Sephora stores). The form also matters: the "torches" and beveled brushes can be used in different ways, so that they are especially suitable for a road set. Brushes made of natural lint are better left to live at home, and synthetic ones will better tolerate trips and frequent “washings”.
Give preference to hygienic packaging.
Products packed in such a way that you don’t have to use your fingers in your jar are good at home, and as winners, the more people win - you can safely not only use them on the go, but also share them with someone else. If you can’t do without a favorite cream in a jar with a lid, it is also worth putting it into a road jar: even if you don’t use the road volume until the end, it will not be so offensive.
Choose one large makeup bag, not many small ones.
It makes no sense to sort products in compact banks according to different cosmetic bags - it is better to buy one larger one with several compartments. Pencils, sticks and miniatures can be laid out in different compartments, and at the very largest place bottles and washers with liquid and bulk materials. Little things like lip balms and hand creams that you may need on an airplane can be put in a pocket or bag - you don’t have to dig into a suitcase, and in a beautician there’s room for nice little things like masks.
Take money with simple formulations on the road.
Zika-ointment is more likely to be needed than capricious serum with vitamin C, and dry blush is more likely to survive than cream. Cosmetics with compositions that tend to be natural are also not the best choice for a trip: of course, all products contain certain preservatives, but a pharmaceutical cream without a loss will transfer the journey from one temperature to another, but the organic bank may well change in texture or external the form.
