Traveling up to Boston has required me to pack light...which is not exactly easy for me! I collect, collect, collect, I overpack immensely, and I always regret it the moment I have to struggle my way through the aisles. Makeup's been a bit of an issue for me - I usually favor light, natural looks during traveling because I can slap them on with minimal fuss in the mornings and wash them off quickly at night, but how natural is natural? Any makeup aficionado knows that the more natural your look, the more work you've put into it!
1. MISSHA M Signature Real Complete BB Cream (SPF 24, No. 23)
2. A makeup bag, don't know where it's from
3. Bare Minerals Mineral Veil
4. Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner (black)
5. Urban Decay Naked Palette
6. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
The best part of this is that with the gel eyeliner and the naked palette, I can create a whole range of looks, from the soft and natural to the striking and dramatic. I favor dramatic winged eyeliner for my day-to-day look, but some days I just don't have the time. (Or, rather, my friends don't want to wait for me...)
BB cream is amazing. If you've been paying attention to Asian beauty blogs in the past couple years, BB cream has shot its way up to the top of the HG beauty products. It doubles as both foundation and concealer for me, with the mineral veil dusted on after to set it a bit. The only way you can tell I'm wearing any at all is because my skin looks too perfect to be real! Gel eyeliner is a godsend, it doesn't smudge even when I hit the gym. (True story: once I was too lazy to wipe off my liquid eyeliner before I went for my daily workout, and it ended up streaking all the way down to my chin. Attractive, c'est moi.) And naturally, who wears eye makeup without primer? UD's is one of the best on the market and their new packaging is so much better than those annoying little bottles of yesteryear, letting you actually squeeze out all the primer rather than having to scrape the inside of the bottle with their wand.
Everything but the Naked palette sits snugly inside the makeup bag, making it perfect for a weekend visit up to Boston. You can even just sling it inside your purse every day for quick touch ups.
What's in your bag?
