Holiday make up - what do you take?

[AuntieMaggie]

Packing for my holiday and I need to decide what make up to take... normally I don't take much with me but DP has said he likes it when I wear dark eyeshadow - so given that and I have lots of different coloured outfits what should I take?

What do you take?

Moisturiser, bronzer, mascara and lippy do the job when I'm away!
Will watch with interest to see what else should be taken

I take loads of conditioners and treatments for sun and pool blasted hair though!

Enjoy your holiday!

I take everything but never use it all. I generally don't wear make up during the day on holiday but just bronzer and light eye make up in the evening.

I usually take what I use every day - and then add a couple of items for evenings out.

So that would be:
Foundation and/or BB-cream - depending on how my skin is looking
If my skin is terrible, concealer
Powder
Blush - I usually match blush and lipstick, so colours and how many would depend on the lipsticks
Probably a highlighter
Lipsticks - probably 2 or 3
Eyeshadows - my normal one (MAC Grain, which is the same colour as my skin and with shimmer), as well as a dark brown (use it as eye liner and for my brows) and a medium brown.
Mascara

Pressed powder for touch-ups during the day
Brushes and eyelash curler

And then skincare - cream, primer, make-up remover and sun cream

what colour lipsticks go best with red/yellow/jade green?

I'm taking

A palette with blusher, bronzer and 4 eyeshadows in
Origins Vitazing moisturiser as it's slightly tinted and has SPF
Browzings
Lipbalm with SPF
Waterproof mascara
A translucent powder
A sheer pinky lipstick

Hardly anything. I like to have a rest.

Mascara and lip balm, bronzed and may be a blusher.

I take the absolute basics now.

For years I'd take the lot, and for some unknown reason maybe alcohol I'd decide to go a bit brighter with the eyeshadow, y'know, being on holiday and having a tan and all that. Summat a bit exotic- blues, greens, a flash of gold.

Which was fine, until the holiday photos were developed.

Chanel pot. Illumiere it's called. It's a brown/purple glittery shade that I use as liner/all over/all round. Looks beyond hot on a tan.

Mascara, bronze. That's all needed!

Very little. A bb cream or moisturiser with SPF. A lovely gold shimmer stick from boots with spf15 that I use in both lips and eyes

I have tons of make-up - I only use a tiny percentage of it regularly, but I still like having it.

I go minimalist on hols. A light foundation/BB cream, a blusher, an eyeliner, a mascara, maybe one small eyeshadow palette in my signature boring greyish brown, one or two lipsticks, one lip liner, one lipgloss.

These days I use a cream blusher so I don't use a brush, so the only brush I need is for the eyeshadow. which I probably won't even use but I like to take it just in case.

Noel I know what you mean - you don't realise just how lobster-like your face is until you see the photos. You think you are all golden and sunkissed but actually you look a bit burnt and tacky. It's best to have an absence of colour and just stick to lipgloss and mascara!

I take a lot! I know it's ridiculous...I do not need this much at all and it's possible to travel waaaaaay more lightly but I have a problem!

Primer
Setting spray
Tinted moisturiser
2 liquid/cream foundations
Concealer
Mineral powder foundation
Cream contour
Powder contour
Cream blusher
Powder blusher (2 colours)
Cream highlighter
2 eyeshadow palettes
2-3 single cream shadows
2-3 lip liners
4 lipsticks (a natural, a coral/orange, a red and a pink)
4 lipglosses
Kohl liner (3 colours)
Gel liner (black)
Mascara
Plus a full brush roll - with about 15 brushes.

During the day on a beach holiday I wear:
Tinted moisturiser
Cream blusher
Mascara
Lipbalm or gloss
Coloured liner

Yy Fellatio, lobster forehead, glow in the dark nose, peacock-tail eyes, all finished off with a dusting of metallic bronzer.

And I thought I looked the beez kneez!

Take more than I use.
Normally only end up wearing waterproof mascara, bit of bronzing powder to tone down the redness and a lipgloss. Evenings only

I have tons of make up too thats the problem!

So I have a foundation/bb cream, loose powder, mascara, bronzer, eye liner.

I have hundreds of eye shadows and lip sticks/glosses. what would be the best colours?

I'm blonde with fair skin that may tan lightly but I'm using spf 50+ so probably not much.

therumoursaretrue that sounds like my kind of make up bag :)

We are going to visit relatives in the south of France and tbh I normally just wear mascara because we don't really go anywhere and everyone else is so casual. But DP wants to have a couple of nights out while we're there...

I take everything.

A couple of years ago I found these, they are brilliant for holidays and just getting off the plane.

I end up using it all too! I stick to basics during the day, but like a bit of choice for evening colour wise.

Have you a nice palette you could take with dark smokey colours? That would cut down on space of taking single eyeshadows and give you some choice for nights ou.

Ooh, I've just been on holiday. I took:

• No.7 tinted moisturiser
• Eyebrow pencil (I have dark hair and light brows, my face looks bald without it)
• Two cream eye shadows, one a deep bronze, the other a very pale gold.
• Peachy-coloured Borgouis cream blusher.
• Dark brown eye liner
• Two Chubby sticks, a peachy one and a pinky one, for my lips.

Got in all into a small pencil case sized bag. In photos it looks rather nice, quite natural and sun-kissed.

Very little. Concealer, powder, mascara, eyeliner, couple each of eyeshadows and lipglosses.

I've got a couple of BB shimmer bricks I could take that could double up as eye shadows and the UD naked palette.

Karbea I've got a couple of these in Diorissime (coral) and Singuliere (pink) which are really nice (don't last long though but I assume that's because they're sheer)

i always take benefit benetint if nothing else as it stays on when in water. and usually nb cream insted of fpundation. eyelash extensions instead of mascara and a dark brown eyeshadow for brows, liner and eyes.

I took very little.

BB cream
Cream blusher
Black eyeliner
MAC spice lip pencil
Brown lipstick

I usually take one eyeshown multipallete but decided to skip it this year because I didn't want to pack my brushes. Like theRealFellatio says basically. I discovered cream blusher this year, and so eyeshadow became the only thing that still need brushes to apply. It seems a faff to pack so I just ditched them .

And no I don't look like a lobster. I go from pale to brown. Never red. My DD is the same. She's got a really really lovely tan now too, just like me .

Oh and I packed a powder compact too but didn't use it. It felt wrong to have a matt face in the heat somehow. And I was going into the water so often anyway.

Take it all usually and use almost nothing. This year I think I will take bronzer, eyeliner, lip gloss and maybe mascara.
