Since I was traveling home today because of Thanksgiving break, I thought this would be a perfect time to talk about my makeup travel essentials. Here are the products I pack for traveling:

Wet n Wild Photofocus Foundation – $5.99 – This foundation is extremely easy to blend and perfectly matches my skin. It also mattifies my skin; however, if you have drier skin or a lot of texture on your skin, I’ve found that this foundation will emphasize it. I have a more in depth review in my Everyday Makeup Routine post.

Maybelline Set and Smooth Pressed Powder– $7.99 – This is the powder that I use everyday to set my face after applying foundation. I love that it mattifies my skin, even if I use it with a more dewy foundation. It is not translucent, but the shade matches my skin perfectly. I also talked about this product in my Everyday Makeup Routine post.

Tarte Clay Play Face Shaping Palette – $46 – I love to bring this palette with me when I travel, because it is extremely versatile. You can use the shades in this palette as bronzers, a contour shade, eyeshadows, eyeliners, and brow powders. I also use one of the lighter shades to set my undereye concealer. This is a link to my full review on this Tarte palette if you want to know more of my thoughts on it.

E.L.F Highlighter and Bronzer Duo– $4 – I don’t use the bronzer side of this duo, mostly because I don’t like a shimmery bronzer. This color also shows up orange on my skin tone. The highlight is this duo is my go-to, however. When I first started using this though, I did not get very much pigmentation. Once you scrape off the top layer of the product, it is a beautiful highlight.

Rimmel ScandelEyes Retroglam Mascara– $5.29 – This is my everyday mascara. It lengthens the lashes while also separating them so they don’t look clumpy. I am trying to use this mascara up right now as I am almost done it.

Those are the only products I typically take on a weekend home. The Tarte palette is extremely versatile and makes packing less products a lot easier! Also, I usually take a concealer of some sort but if you read my Everyday Makeup Routine post, you’ll know that I am currently in search of a better drugstore concealer. This weekend I brought home the ELF HD Lifting Concealer which you can also read in my Everyday Makeup Routine post linked above. I usually go for a very simple makeup look when I go home for the weekend, mostly because I’m only hanging out around my house for the weekend usually. Thank you for reading! Leave me a recommendation for an affordable concealer down below! 🙂
