My flight was scheduled to depart incredibly early in the morning. Needless to say there was no way in hell I was going to get up even earlier to do my makeup. Sorry guys it just wasn't going to happen. So I prepared and put together a makeup essentials kit for my carry on bag, just in case. This is what it consisted of...
For base I went simple with my Maybelline Fit Me concealer in the color 'Sand Sable' paired with my ELF concealer brush. I dotted the product where needed and blended it out with my brush. Don't fret if the color doesn't match you perfectly because we will fix that in a second.
Over the concealer I took this Diorskin Forever Compact in the shade '030' and buffed it all over my skin. I enjoy using powder when traveling because its lighter, easier to apply when on a plane, and overall foolproof.
Next I chose this eyebrow duo from ELF in the shade 'Medium'. It comes with wax, powder and a brush to apply them with. I like the wax side because, if applied correctly,it can give a very natural look to the brows. I use the wax towards the tail of the brow and blend the powder through the front.
I then continue on to cheeks. This is a NARS duo with the color ( yes this is actually the name) 'Orgasm' blush and 'Laguna' bronzer. I like to sweep the bronzer under my cheekbones and apply the blush to the apples of my cheeks.
Moving on to eyes I applied this cream Maybelline 24 hour color tattoo in the color 'Barley Branded' with my finger over the lid. Making sure to keep the color only on the lid and not on the crease. If you bring it up to the crease it will begin to look messy and muddy when you apply the shadows on top of it.
I love this pallet when traveling. This is my handy dandy Naked Basics pallet by Urban Decay. I use the lightest color 'virgin' over where I applied the cream color. I just use a flat shader brush for this step. Then I use a fluffier blender brush and take the color 'naked 2' and blend it into my crease. Lastly I take a mix of the dark brown 'faint' and the black 'crave' and push it into my lashes with an angled liner brush.
I finished off the eyes with The Rocket Volume Express mascara from Maybelline in the color 'black'. Focusing on the roots of the lashes and the outer corners for added definition.
For the lips I used my favorite gloss product by Maybelline (are you seeing a trend here?). The Maybelline Color Elixir in the color 'Caramel Infused'.
{I used all of these products the day before to make sure I had everything.}
Here is the completed look! Using just the few products in my carryon.
I did do this look later on during one of my layovers and it was easy as pie.
Thanks for reading.
