Great Makeup Palettes for Travel

Okay girls, now you’re getting ready for your tip. You’ve packed everything except your makeup. What do you take with you? What do you leave behind? I have found that for us jetsetters, compact is the key. We need to have everything at our fingertips, but is must be portable.


Try a makeup palette, with blush, shadows and lips all in one great compact to help you create finishing touches you’ll love at work or at play.



Too Faced Naked Eye Soft and Sexy Eye Shadow collection is a great start. You’ll get great neutral and soft shimmer colors to take your look from dawn to dusk. It’s easy to pack and always ready to go. ($35) Find this at Sephora.


 
Smashbox Cream Eyeliner Palette is convenient and filled with 10 gorgeous shades to keep your eyes totally defined. ($32)Find this at Macy’s.



Bobbi Brown introduced a limited edition Denim & Rose Face Palette. It’s filled with a beautiful mixture of blue, grey and pink to brighten your eyes, blush your cheeks and shine your lips. ($60) Find this at Saks






 
Nars Everlasting Love 15 Year Anniversary Palette will help you achieve a glamorous and dramatic looks with soft cheeks, neutral lips and defined eyes. ($75) Available at Nars.com






Here are some tips when packing your makeup.

1. Only take what you need. If you haven’t used that blush you’ve been thinking about for the past few months, chances are you won’t use it when take it with you.

2. Take fresh mascara. Remember ladies, mascara should be replaced approximately every 3 months.

3. Travel brushes will fit in your bag. Your full size makeup brushes definitely need to go in your suitcase, but your travel set will fit into your bag.

4. Use a makeup case. Keep your makeup together, this way you’ll find what you need when you need it.
