Holiday make up essentials? Foundation?

What are your holiday make up essentials?

I think I need some foundation of some sort to get me through the first few nights of pale on holiday - what would be a good one?

I just bought the chubby Clinique one, looks super easy for travelling and I can daub it on with fingers!

I don't bother. I may look hideous but it is only a couple of days! All I take is mascara and Vaseline.

God no, don't bother, tinted moisturiser or BB, CC whatever cream should be more than enough.

One year I went through a whole tube of This Works Miracle something, it's a caramel coloured tint, goes very sheer.
Not sure they still do it, might have to check soon!

I don't normally bother but it's a girls holiday and they'll all look like they stepped out of a magazine! I'm the sweaty mess on the beach usually but trying to make an effort Grin

I walked off the plane in Spain last year and my makeup literally melted off my face Shock It was so hot that my mascara burnt my eyes.
Don't think I bothered for the rest of the holiday, and I wouldn't be seen dead without it at home!

I tend to take tinted moisturiser/ BB / CC cream with spf in, waterproof mascara and spf lip balm for the day. Then bronzer/ highlighter, small eyeshadow pallette and lip gloss/ stick for evenings.

Tinted moisturiser only. In fact, I've pretty much given up on foundation full stop.

Bourjois City Radiance is good and spf30. Feels more like a tinted moisturiser. Only about £9.99 too and usually on some sort of deal in Superdrug or Boots.
