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?

AuntieMaggie with regards to which colours you should bring, I think beige and brown (like the colours in the UD Naked palette) eye shadows are the way to go - you can use them with all colours, and you can make a smoky eye or just keep it very discrete.
With lipsticks, you can use whatever you want, as long as it's looking good on your lips/with your skin tone/doesn't make your teeth look yellow.
Sheer colours and "my lips but better" colours go with everything.

I wouldn't match it too much to my clothes, but instead just go for what looks good with my skin/eyes/teeth and so on. But I'm happy to wear red lipstick with any colour clothes, so maybe you shouldn't listen to me

If I was to go on a holiday where I'd be mainly swimming or sunbathing, I'd probably not bring a lot - waterproof mascara and eyelash curlers for during the day, and for when going out in the evening: foundation, blush and eyeshadows and a lipstick/gloss.
For holidays to cities, I'd bring what I mentioned in my previous post.

Thank you ladies - I'll tackle the make up bag later... now I have to sort out my clothes

I love the new Bobbi Brown cream shadow sticks, they'd be great on holiday. Smear on lightly with your finger, or layer a bit darker for night. I've got a lovely bronze one, I think this plus a black or brown eyeliner would do me for a beach holiday.

A hot orangey/red lipstick for evenings when the tan has developed.

I have eyelash extensions done before I go so no need for mascara

It's only liquids in your hand luggage that needs to be in the bag.
