Are you going to travel? Follow 10 tips to reduce your makeup kit

Traveling is a delight, but packing is not always a simple task! It is hardly possible to carry everything you want, as the luggage can not be that big and there are many things to carry. Then the question arises: what, in fact, is necessary? What is expendable?

Making this filter is essential, not only when packing clothes, but also when separating shoes, hygiene and beauty items, among others, that go to the trip.

And of course, make-up can't be left out, but especially for the vain women who are passionate about make-ups, you have to make a good selection when it comes to fixing the necessaire.

“Make-up is like a child, it has to be taken everywhere,” jokes Valentim Bruno, a hair makeup artist for Ophicina. The key is to make good choices and minimize your makeup kit with a few tips and even a few tricks. Check it out below:

1. Make a makeup bag with the basics: foundation, concealer and powder. Mascara, three options of eyeshadows and lipstick ?, suggests the makeup artist Valentim Bruno.
2. "You can dispense with the color variations of eyeshadow, pencil and lipstick and take just the basics," adds the makeup artist.
3. In the opinion of Studio Longevita makeup artist Raphaella Bahia, the essential is: foundation with sunscreen or a BB cream, mascara, a duo of shadows, eyeliner, blush and lipstick. "It is not necessary to bring the complete kit with all the colors of eyeshadow or lipstick," he says.

4. Bet on multifunctional products! This is the tip of makeup artist Valentim Bruno.
5. There are products that have more than one function. Does that already wipe your suitcase? ”Adds Raphaella Bahia. These include: BB Cream (which generally combines the benefits of primer, sunscreen, moisturizer and foundation); base that already contain sunscreen (fundamental for every day); lipstick gloss (which has the intense color of a lipstick but with the gloss of a gloss); lipstick with sunscreen for the lips (super interesting especially for those who go to the beach).
6. Bet on miniature make-up! They are equally useful to those of conventional size, but take up much less space. Lipstick, concealer, powder, brush, eyeshadow, mascara and blush, for example, are on the list of what you can buy in smaller size.
7. If you bring two or three eyeshadow colors on the trip and one day or another decide to innovate, you can replace the eyeshadow with a lip gloss that has been added to your makeup bag. Make is supermodern!
8. Use contact lens cases. They are a good choice for foundation or concealer in addition to BBCream. They are small, practical, cheap and easy to find (in any drugstore). Who uses lenses usually have a lot at home.

9. Take "mini swabs". They can be used to clean the smudged eyeshadow and even to smudge the eyeshadow (by girls and women who already have more practice with makeup), so they can't be left out! And the key tip is to cut them in half, turning them into "mini cotton buds", and placing them inside an empty box of thong. Super practical idea that will help you reduce the size of your kit!
10. Another suggestion is to bet on instant makeup. They are individual and disposable. Ideal for use on short trips.

More Tips for Optimizing Your Travel Makeup

In addition to makeup, other hygiene and beauty items may also take up less space in your suitcase if you follow some tips!

Shampoo and conditioner, for example, are key products, but they certainly take up a lot of space. The tip, then, is to take them in a container other than your original.

If you have at home those smaller vials, which are usually found in hotels, great! Just transfer some of your favorite shampoo and conditioner to them. Otherwise, the idea is to improvise. That little box that packs vitamin C in pills, for example, is a good option. The same goes for any bottle of medicine / vitamin / supplement that you had to handle and is already over?

Body cream can also be placed in one of these makeshift containers. Remember that if you are using several containers for different products, it is important to classify them by, for example, placing a label. And don't forget that the packaging should be sturdy and have covers that fully seal the opening to prevent accidents in your suitcase or bag. Use plastic bags for packaging that may spill the product into cream or liquid.

Some of your favorite perfume can also be transferred to a free sample perfume bottle already empty. Remember, however, to wash it well before that so that the two different aromas do not mix.

When traveling do you intend to do a special hairstyle or simply have the custom of fixing your hair with bobby pins ?! A good idea to bring some (but not the whole staple box!) Is to fit them into a business card. They will take up very little space and you do not risk losing them. Hair bands can also be put on the side!

Did you like the tips? By choosing good products (the most basic) and using a few tricks you can greatly reduce your makeup and beauty kit. This, of course, while bringing essential products for your trip! And if you're traveling by plane, check the rules that regulate the transportation of beauty products in your bags.
