How to Pack Light

Example Travel Cosmetic Kit

Packing for a summer adventure? We can help you minimize the makeup items you take on your summer vacation. To start, we recommend the Tinted Primer that comes in four different shades.  This primer is a “must-have” for summer. It acts as a primer, concealer, foundation, moisturizer, and sunscreen with a SPF of 20 and is oil-free. All of the above makes the tinted primer the perfect product for summer vacations as it protects you from the sun and provides you with comfortable summer coverage. More tips for packing some of your regular makeup items include filling your large rectangular compact with a powder, blush, 3 eye shadows, an eyeshadow brush, and eyeliner.

 Make sure it all stays shut by wrapping the hair bands you might need on your trip around the compact. Under the hair bands attach any other brushes you might need, such as a powder or blush brush. The tinted primer is the largest thing to pack but you can reduce the size for travel with a smaller container, such as one like this from the container store. This way your makeup is carry-on friendly and you can fill your quart size Ziplock bag with small bottles of liquid. These tips will help you pack lightly for your vacation. It is important to keep it simple.
