2. Organize products with multiple uses

Rather than bringing along your usual assortment of makeup, try packing items that can serve multiple purposes. Lipsticks that double as cream blushers, eyeshadow palettes that double as eyeliner, and highlighters that work on the eyes, cheeks, and lips are all fair game. Consider whether or not you need to bring concealer, and try to find makeup that doubles as skincare. The Ordinary's Serum Foundation SPF15 is currently our top pick. This summer foundation has a serum-like texture and a medium coverage.  

Third, decant your toiletries before you leave.

Decant the essentials, such as serums, foundation, concealer, and highlighter, into travel containers for shorter trips or vacations when you know you won't need your full makeup collection. In this way, you can take your most-loved works wherever you go.

Imagine this: Packing all of your cosmetics and toiletries for a trip into a tiny makeup bag and rearranging them as you try to close the zipper can be a stressful experience. Do these descriptions fit you? It's a situation all of us have been in, and it's the perfect time for plastic bottles and jars to get their lids broken off. Why, then, forego what brings you joy—wearing makeup—during the holidays, if doing so is possible? If you follow our guidelines, you'll always have room for your entire collection of cosmetics, no matter how long you'll be away or where you'll be traveling.

1. Opt for a spacious, well-organized cosmetics case.

We guarantee that a large travel wash bag with separate sections will revolutionize your packing routine. The first compartment is perfect for storing your foundations and concealers, while the second is ideal for stowing your colored cosmetics. Having separate storage areas allows you to bring everything you need, and keeps it all neatly organized. The next point is particularly pertinent in this context: a large travel makeup bag will keep all your precious products safe.

Having a cosmetics bag that won't spill is essential.

When going on the road, it is imperative that you bring along a leak-proof wash bag to keep all of your wet belongings contained. No one wants to check into a hotel and discover that their foundation has leaked all over their clean, folded clothes. Make sure you invest in the best travel wash bag and cosmetic makeup bag you can afford by looking for features like waterproof fabrics and reinforced seams.

Make a list of the different ways you can apply your makeup, and stick to it.

Just as you would plan your outfits for a trip, knowing in advance which fabulous looks you intend to rock on your trip will help you pack only the essentials. However, since this is your vacation, you should treat yourself by bringing along some of your favorite luxurious lotions and brightly colored makeup in addition to the basics. Make a checklist to ensure that no details are overlooked. The list can be kept on the vanity and items can be crossed off as they are packed. The use of a travel toiletry bag with see-through sections allows you to quickly and easily inventory what you have and what you need to repack.

Keep it jam-packed!

Keeping a few essentials in your makeup bag at all times is the best way to make sure you never forget anything. For this purpose, a foldable or hanging travel wash bag with separate compartments is ideal, as it allows you to easily store and access travel-sized toiletries. Makeup care essentials like cleansing wipes, mini makeup brushes, and makeup remover should never be far from hand.
