Concealer
A concealer is one of the basics you’ll need for any makeup look. It covers up the blemishes and imperfections in your skin, making it look smoother, brighter, and more even toned. A lot of concealers come in stick form, making it easier to pack and it won’t even consume that much space in your makeup bag.
Foundation
To create a perfect makeup base, you’ll need a good foundation that suits your skin tone. It supports the makeup and helps it hold into your face longer, plus it also creates a seamless look making your makeup stand out and look perfect. When you buy face makeup for travelling, pick a concealer in a small tube packaging to save space.
Lipstick
Of course, your makeup look won’t be complete without colour on your lips. Be sure to bring a few lipsticks in different shades so you have lip colour options depending on the occasion. Aside from adding colour to your pout, you could also use lipstick to add blush on your cheeks. Apply a small amount of cream lipstick into your fingertips, warm it and gently apply into the apples of your cheeks for a livelier makeup look.
