Holiday Makeup Kit
I didn’t want to overload the suitcase with makeup and I had to be practical and make sure that the makeup would work for day, night and all the colours and shades would tone together to save space.
The colour scheme that I like for holiday is definitely warm toned – for day it’s more glossy lips and glossy cheeks with lots of mascara, for evening more matte with bronzer and metallic eyeshadows. Lips and cheeks are generally orange, coral or peach and eyes are either nude, brown or golden. Slap on the mascara and job done!
Face
Korres tinted moisturiser, Makeup Forever Waterproof Concealer, Stila Convertible Colour, Korres Monoi Bronzer and the Body Shop Honey Bronze liqid bronzer, Mac Studio Rose and Mac pressed powder.
I love Korres Monoi bronzer, it is the perfect red brown shade and you can just slap loads on and it never looks too much or muddy, Stila Convertible Colour in Gladiola is a must have for me, perfect on lips and cheeks and such a gorgeous brightening colour to enhance any sort of tan, I love it! I used Benefit’s highbeam nearly every day to highlight my browbone and cheekbones as it is really the BEST highlighter I have ever found with a pink tone, hands down the gold/bronze one that is my fave is Dior amber diamond but the pink toned one is highbeam no question.
Eyes
1 Rouge Bunny Rouge eyeshadow, mac 4 pan palette with Modelette, Vanilla, that bright orange which I have no idea the name of and Brown Down, a khaki Illamasqua eyeshadow dust and Nars Mekong eyeshadow single pretty much covered all looks. The Urban Decay eyeshadow primer to stop them slipping off and L’oreal Voluminous mascara in black. HD palette for eyebrows is a must as it doesn’t budge.
Lips
Lipstick always melts on me when I go on holiday so I stick to gloss. Peaches, golds and corals go with the rest of my makeup. I went for Mac lip gelee in Saplicious which I adore, Estee Lauder’s Michael Kors collaboration lipgloss in peach (my fave lip product ever) which is discontinued and Korres’s orange shimmery lipgloss which is absolutely amazing.
Perfume
I always buy a holiday perfume at the airport to become the scent of the holiday, but I was shocked by how everything was so expensive that this time I went for one of the Victoria Secret body sprays. Mine is the red one which is called Wild Scarlet and is very fruity (the vanilla was for my mum). Why is duty free more expensive than Boots? I was so confused. Oh well! It was nice to get another Victoria Secret spray as they are the only body sprays I like to use.
And that’s all from me for today! I do miss this view…………
