WHAT TO PACK IN YOUR TRAVEL MAKEUP BAG

Are you off on your holidays this summer? Whether you are sunbathing in Spain, backpacking in Europe or perhaps even hitting the theme parks in Florida, we have all the products and inspiration you need for your travel makeup bag!

A primer is always crucial in helping your makeup last and if you’re out and about in a warm climate, you are definitely not going to want anything to slide! The essence You Better Work Gym-Proof Primer (£3.50) is a true makeup essential! It’s sweat proof with an SPF 20 and helps to blur imperfections whilst smoothing out your skin as well. You certainly won’t find us without one of these on us at all times this summer!
When we’re slipping cocktails by the pool-side bar in the evening, we definitely want to look completely sun-kissed with that Instagram glow we all love, so the essence Glow to Go Palette (£4.50) is absolutely coming in our makeup bag! With two highlighters and two bronzers, this is the perfect palette for the radiant and bronzed look we’re after!
To really pack a punch and finish our glowy look, we’re packing the essence Holo Wow Dewy Lip Shine (£2.80) to give us a holographic-look on our lips worn alone or applied over your favourite lip product for something a little different! After all, if you can’t truly shine on your summer holiday, when can you?!
Of course, we still want our brows looking #onfleek whether we are around the pool, dipping our toes in the sea or seeing the sights so the essence Make Me Brow Eyebrow Gel Mascara (£2.50) is coming with us to make sure we can keep our brows rivaling Cara Delevingnes! This 3-in-1 product packs on the colour with tiny fibres that fill and shape your brows.
Mascara is always an essential in any makeup bag and we’re bringing along the essence Volume Hero Mascara (£3.00) on our holi-bobs! We love this for gorgeous lashes with maximum volume which lasts, meaning we can leave the falsies at home!
The last thing in our makeup bag are the essence All About Matt Oil Control Papers (£2.00), ideal for absorbing excess sebum and frees the skin of shine, perfect for popping in your bag for your travels.
