I’d love to pack minimal makeup to take on holiday, but still look “made up”.
Please tell you me your holiday make up essentials and alternatives to foundation

Estée Lauder sheer tint moisturiser and then a good bronzer and check out trinny. She does these double sided sticks which are amazing! I always use the bobbi brown eyeshadow stick too. Super easy to apply and a stick so travels well!

I take a tinted moisturiser but just decant some into a small plastic pot to save luggage space.

If you’re looking for products that save time as well as space, have you considered a tinted spf for the face? I saw a factor 50 one. I’ll post back if I remember the brand.

Another product to consider is a cream stick tint for lips, cheeks and eyes. ELF are pretty good for this sort of thing.

La Roche Posay tinted sunscreen or the Garnier Vitamin C one if you prefer a glowy one (hate that word).

Refy cream blusher

Waterproof eyeliner and a brown mascara.

Rhode lip balm gloss thing. Or something like that.

I water my foundation down with primer to make it into a runny liquid and put it all over.

Black eyeliner to tightline my upper lashes and maybe Mascara.

Stick Blush.
Stick highlighter.
Lipliner and a gloss.

Best tip is to do a minimal look the week before and try to seperate out the Mist haves from your regular makeup so you only take the items you are using and don't grab the whole make up bag in a panic in the morning because you're worried you'll need something else (just me?!)
