Face:
I only brought one foundation with me. I brought my holy grail MUFE Matte Velvet + Foundation. This foundation is very long wearing and gives a very matte, medium to full coverage look. I also brought my favorite powder, Rimmel Stay Matte. I brought a nice bronzer and my favorite blushes - ELF Candid Coral and Tarte Amazonian Clay in Exposed.
Eyes:
I did not want to bring too many palettes, but I was afraid that I would get bored with my makeup. I brought my Urban Decay Naked 2 palette to do natural looks. I also brought two Sleek Palettes, Storm and Oh So Special. This gave me a variety of darker, more dramatic colors to work with. I supplemented these palettes with several of my Maybelline Color Tattoos. I also brought a brown and a black mascara. I brought a few colored eyeliners, as well.
Lips:
I wanted to have lip stains, moisturizing lip colors, as well as some normal lipsticks. I brought MAC Japanese Maple and L'oreal Fairest Nude to have some nude lip colors. I brought several of my Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains. I also brought my new Milani Color Statement lipsticks in Flamingo Pose and Sangira. I threw in a Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake to have a soft pink color for neutral looks. I then grabbed my L'oreal Wet Caresse Stains to have some bolder colors.
I was able to pack all of my makeup into these two bags. The bag on the right is from a Target beauty bag and the other bag is from Ulta's gift set about a year ago. I use the leopard print bag to carry in my purse with powder, my lipstick, a good mirror, and a blush for touch ups. The other bag fit my Sleek Palettes and everything else.
In hindsight, I wish that I had brought one of my BH cosmetics palettes because I felt limited in doing colorful looks. In the future, I would definitely bring a palette with more color variety.
