My Holiday Make-up

I started writing this post when I got back from Portugal, now three weeks ago!! I finally decided to finish it off and post it :). This year I decided to pack more make-up than usual - why? I don't know - but I learnt that I didn't need half of it. I have, however, realised what my key items used on holiday are and in future I hopefully will not over-pack again...

This here, Is my travel make-up bag and all my make-up I took with me

The make-up I took consists of..,

- Face primer

- 2 Different types of tinted moisturisers with SPF

-  Concealer, Face powder and Bronzer

- Crème Blusher, Powder Blusher

- 4 Lipsticks

- 4 Eye-liners

- 2 Eyebrow pencils

- Urban Decay Naked palette

- Mascara (4 mini tubes)

- Brushes

Here is what I actually used...

Concealer and Bronzer

I felt no need for tinted moisturisers or powder, a tiny bit of concealer under my eyes and on any blemishes was enough for me topped with bronzer.

Blushers
I used both the crème and powder blushers, I like to apply my crème blush to add a glow then dust some powder blush on top to add colour and set it.

Lipstick

I only took my lipstick for if we went out in the evening but when it came to it I never felt like putting lipstick on so I chose to wear a lip balm which would be more moisturising.

Eyebrow Pencil

I don't know why I took two? I just hate leaving things behind in case I do need them. I Used my Dior one a lot, to fill in my brows and to use as a light eye-liner in the evening so it wasn't as harsh as black.

Urban Decay Naked Palette

I was debating whether to take this or my MAC palette, I chose this because of the natural colours, I only ended up using the colours Sin and Buck.

Mascara

I took a few sample size tubes just in-case one ran out, however I only wore mascara two or three on the nights when we decided to go out, I used Mac's Zoom Lash. I love it.

Nail Varnishes

I only ended up using 2 of my eight nail varnishes! I was so spoilt for choice when I was packing, I did want to take more but resisted and I'm glad I did!

Obviously different the type of holiday would need to be considered, if I was going out partying every night I probably would need more make-up but I just went on a family holiday so it was more a relaxing, lazing about holiday :)

Hope you enjoyed reading :) What is in your travel make-up bag?
