Holiday products!!! - Make up

I've decided that I'm going to leave miscellaneous toiletries till last because i finally figured out today what make up I'm taking with me.

The first thing for a holiday is definitely a primer. I am currently really liking the That Gal primer from Benefit. It gives you a really nice glow. For more info on that primer, I've done a post dedicated to it I love it so much.

I also don't want to use a foundation in hot weather because I don't want make up melting off my face!! I like to use the Natural Collection tinted moisturiser because it hydrates my skin without being greasy and it gives me decent coverage for a tinted moisturiser.

Definitely take a fixing powder with you and to get rid of any unwanted shine.

A waterproof mascara is must. Mascara dribbling from you eyes really isn't a good look on the beach. The waterproof theory also applies to eyeliner but I wouldn't recommend wearing eyeliner on holiday as you want your look to be natural. If you wanted to take it but wear it just for going out at night then that would be fine.

For eyeshadow I would just take a selection of neutral eyeshadows with a black as well so you can make your neutral smokey eye more dark and intense for evening. With holiday eyeshadow, its all about being neutral and versatile.

I don't know whether this counts as make up but I'm definitely going to take eyelash curlers. When matched with mascara and a neutral eye, it gives you a really nice flirty look.

I'm taking a Collection 2000 shimmer and shade. I love this because part of it you can use for highlighting and giving your face a holiday shimmer and another part you can use as blush. It also comes in several shades so with this, you really cut down on the amount of make up you have to take.

You can take bronzer if you want to but I prefer just to let the tan I'm building up show through my tinted moisturiser but this is just personal preference.

I think on holiday, lip colour should be kept neutral and glossy with added colour for evening. I'm taking a MAC lipstick, a clear lip gloss and a couple of tinted lips glosses.

I'm going to South America tomorrow but I'm going to see if i can pre-write some posts and maybe if I get a chance write some while I'm there.
