Travel Essentials | Makeup

Tuesday, December 13, 2016

Hi guys,

I'm back with another post on travel essentials for makeup because I'll be traveling soon so I thought I would share with you guys what I bring for makeup. I feel like, doesn't mean I'm traveling, I'm suppose to bring lesser makeup. You get what I mean? 😂 I mean, I want to look good as well and I don't want to have oily skin throughout the day. Let me tell you, having oily skin is really annoying especially my nose because it gets oily after 2 hours. Just 2 hours 😐 and also, when your face is oily, your hair tends to stick on your face and it will be sooooo uncomfortable!

Items are bought with my own money.

P.S. I posted according to how I always apply my makeup.

These are the items I brought with me to travel! It looks a lot but it's really my essentials and I'll talk more about the items individually.

Hourglass - Veil Mineral Primer (Jumbo Size)
Of course, primer is VERY important because it prime your face and keep your makeup on throughout the day. If you have oily skin, this primer is PERFECT for you. Even though the primer is white color and when you blend it into your skin, it just blends into your skin color. Besides that, it doesn't have a white cast! Which means when you take a photo with flash light, there will be no white cast. This has been my most favorite primer by far!! The second favorite primer of mine will be the Benefit Porefessional, it's really great as well! But I find that this Hourglass primer has a longer lasting base than Benefit Porefessional.

Here's where you can find it :
$117SGD : SEPHORA SG
$75USD : SEPHORA US

YSL - Fusion Ink Cushion Foundation (B30)
I recently bought this cushion foundation, check out my haul post here. I must say that, I REALLY LOVE IT. First of all, it's a cushion foundation and it's very quick and easy to apply to your face. You just keep patting and blending then you're done! The coverage is light to medium, it's definitely not full coverage. To achieve full coverage, you have to pat on the certain area you want. It controls the oiliness pretty well so I really like it a lot!

Moonshot - Dark Spot Concealer (Shade No. 301)

Let me clarify something first. THIS CONCEALER IS MY HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT. Firstly, it is very easy to blend and it doesn't crease. Secondly, it stays on for the WHOLE DAY. Last and importantly, the coverage is literally full coverage. I use this on any discoloration or pimple scars I have and it conceals so well! I also use it under my eyes to conceal my dark circles. Oh, I think it's oil-free as well but I don't get oily on this. Honestly, on some days I'm lazy to put on makeup or to go out for a short while, I'll actually use this concealer alone for my entire face and that is already full coverage 😂 (I just read on the Moonshot website and it says that this concealer "can be used as a foundation". So that is why it's a full coverage concealer and I can use it alone 😂)

Here's where you can find it :
$27SGD : SEPHORA SG
$16USD : MOONSHOT OFFICIAL

NYX - Wonder Stick (WS04 Universal)


I have been using cream contour lately because it's very long lasting and I'll put on powder bronzer to "set" the cream contour. I like that it doesn't look muddy or too dark.

Here's where you can find it :
$20SGD : SEPHORA SG
$12USD : NYX COSMETICS

Estee Lauder - Genuine Glow Blushing Creme For Lips and Cheeks (01 Sweet Cheeks)


I have been using cream blush lately as well. This blush actually last throughout the whole day and when it fade, it's a very natural flush look which looks really good!

Here's where you can find it :
$22USD : ESTEE LAUDER

Chanel - Le Teint Ultra Tenue (20 Beige)

Of course, powder to set all the foundation, blush and contour. This powder is sooooo good! Another product that control the oiliness.

Here's where you can find it :
$60USD : NORDSTROM

Burberry - Warm Glow Natural Bronzer (Nude Glow No. 03)


This is just to set my cream contour so that it will last even longer. On the swatch picture, I actually just pack on the color without blending it. This powder is really smooth and fine, it doesn't look muddy at all.

Here's where you can find it :
$69SGD : SEPHORA SG
$52USD : SEPHORA US

Hourglass - Ambient Lighting Blush (Luminous Flush)


This is also just to set my cream blush and it last throughout the day. Same thing here, on the swatch picture, I just pack on the color without blending it.

Shu Uemura - Hard Formula Brow Pencil (H9 Brown)


NEVER forget about your brows! Brows is important because it frame your face and make you look more "awake". Something special about this eyebrow pencil is that, the color will only show when it touches hair. I thought it was some gimmick but no! I tried to swatch on my hand and it doesn't show at all.

Here's where you can find it :
$33SGD : SHU UEMURA

Chanel - Les 4 Ombres (14 Mystic Eyes)



I think I brought eyeshadow just in case I want to feel glam all of the sudden 😂

Here's where you can find it :
$61USD : NORDSTROM

Clio - Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner (No. 4 Dark Choco)



This has a sharpener at the end which is really good! I love "all in one" kind of stuffs.

Here's where you can find it :
$22USD : CLIO US

Innisfree - Powerproof Pen Liner


I brought 2 eyeliner with me as well. 1 pencil and 1 brush liner. Sometimes I will use the pencil liner to draw my eyeliner and darken it with the brush liner. But also, sometimes I will just use the brush liner alone. It depends though 😂

Here's where you can find it :
$12.40USD : AMAZON

MCC - Accent C'Curve Mascara (Long Lash)

MCC - Accent C'Curve Mascara (Volume)
I brought 2 mascaras with me because I like to combine these two together. The lengthening mascara does lengthen and separate my lashes well but I also like extra volume on my lashes so the voluminizing mascara works well.

Here's where you can find it :
(I can't find online. I'll update once I found out!)

Laneige - Two Tone Lip Bar (No. 14 Dear Pink)



To create a natural gradient lip, this is the go-to product! It's really easy to create the gradient lip using this. You just apply to your lips and blend out a little. TADA! Gradient lip achieved!

Here's where you can find it :
$34SGD : SEPHORA SG
$21.50USD : AMAZON

Giorgio Armani - Rouge D'Armani Lipstick (511)


I also brought a mauve pinkish lipstick as well. Changing up the lipstick really makes the whole makeup looks different. I remember I bought this from Hong Kong at $270HKD which is about $50SGD.

Here's where you can find it :
$37USD : SEPHORA US

Urban Decay - Vitamin-Infused Complexion Prep Spray
Last and importantly, set ALL your makeup with the spray and it will stay all day long!

Here's where you can find it :
$50SGD : SEPHORA SG

Bioderma - Make-up Removing Micelle Solution

As for makeup remover, I'm bringing my trusty Bioderma. I just transferred it into a 50ml container since I don't need much.
