When you are going away for the holidays to visit family, or even if you are just going for Christmas dinner, not having to worry about your makeup is bonus. So here are my holiday makeup bag tips, to just pack the essentials, but still have a polished and fast look.
What to bring in your holiday travel (or not travel) makeup bag:
1. A moisturizing base. Be it a tinted moisturizer or a foundation, pick a tried and true product that you know you can rely on to make you look flawless. Jessie's Picks: Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Oil-Free. Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation.
2. A creamy concealer. Try and pick a versatile one that works both under the eyes as well as on blemishes. Jessie's Picks: Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer. Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer.
3. A peach blush. This blush colour will go with almost all lip colours as well as skin tones, and that is a plus when you are in a rush and don't stop to think if your blush complements your lip stick. Jessie's Picks: Nars Orgasm Blush. Mac Powder Blush in Pinch O' Peach
4. A pressed powder. This essential for setting your makeup to make it last all day. As well as control shine all day. Jessie's Pick: Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder is the best!!
5. A cream champagne coloured eye shadow. This provides a quick eye shadow base, and will work great on its own no matter your skin type or tone. Jessie's Picks: Mac Paint Pot in Bare Study. Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Barely Branded.
6. A dark brown mascara. This shade of mascara will suit all hair colours, and will keep your eye makeup softer to emphasize your bold lip.
7. A bright coloured lip stick. Be it red, purple, pink, or brown, a bold lip will bring any look together fast and easily. Jessie's Picks: Revlon Colourburst Lip Stick in Crimson. Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick in Icon.
If you want to add other things like eye liner, or bronzer pick ones in soft muted brown shades as they are the most versatile and will work with most makeup looks. Tip: Use your cream eye shadow as a highlighter to save space in your makeup bag.
