What's the best way to organise your makeup for a trip?

There are two kinds of people in this world: the kind who thrive on the organisation of packing for a trip, and those who smoosh everything into a bag at the last minute and pray that the zip holds.

From tips to packing a travel bag to perfectly proportioned travel-size toiletries, this is how to make packing a joy, not a chore…

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Find the right bag","bold":true},{"type":"text","value":" Not all toiletry bags are created equal. Zip closures are a must, as you don’t want to be fiddling around with poppers or running the risk of your toiletries escaping in your suitcase and potentially ruining a week’s worth of outfits. As for the shape, a lie-flat bag, like our limited edition Portobello, is perfect for doing your makeup on the go and minimising rummaging."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Make your skincare mini","bold":true},{"type":"text","value":" Good makeup needs a good base. Even if you’re only going away for one night, you’ll still need your skincare with you to wash away the day, moisturiser to hydrate and SPF to shield your skin. If full-size skincare is taking up too much space in your case, swap for stackable, skincare minis so you don’t have to compromise on your routine when you’re away from home."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Think about the scenarios","bold":true},{"type":"text","value":" Just like you’d plan our outfits based on your itinerary, think about what makeup you actually need for the trip. A bulky eyeshadow palette, for example, is probably as unnecessary as a third pair of heels. How likely are you to have the time, or an inclination, for a convoluted smoky eye when it’s baking outside? In most cases, a streamlined edit of cream-based makeup you can swipe and go is perfect."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Pick complementary shades","bold":true},{"type":"text","value":" To make getting ready as seamless as possible, you’ll need makeup in complementary shades. The Lip Reset Kit combines a glossy, non-sticky lip oil with a creamy liner in perfectly matched colours. Trinity is the ultimate summer multitasker, with a coordinating matte and glow end, to help you create a harmonious makeup look across your lips, cheeks and eyes."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Split your products between suitcase and hand luggage","bold":true},{"type":"text","value":" We’ve all been there – that stomach-dropping moment when you realise everyone else has picked their suitcase off the carousel and yours is nowhere to be seen. For scenarios where your luggage takes a holiday all on its own, it’s a relief to know you’ve got your makeup in your carry on. Plus, a quick slick of lipstick will perk up even the most exhausted skin after a flight."}]}]}
