Packing a TRAVEL MAKEUP BAG | STOP Overpacking! + TSA Makeup Tips

today we're talking all about packing a travel makeup bag and not over packing that travel makeup bag but still bringing exactly what you need and want to look and feel your best whether you're traveling by car or by plane welcome back to my channel if you're new here my name is Stephanie I talk about everyday beauty made easy and today I'm going to be showing you what's in my travel makeup bag that I have here which is pretty moderately sized if you're someone who wants to streamline even further or who is maybe traveling by plane I'm going to be showing you what size makeup bag you would end up with if you had to remove some of these items and put them in a TSA liquids bag and of course I'm going to show you which items those would be I've traveled a lot in my 44 years of life and I always like to bring exactly what I need for any occasion whether it's just a quick look for daytime or going out at night I see a lot of these travel makeup packing videos where people just bring everything out of the Sun and these huge makeup bags and that's not what we're doing today we are streamlining things so that you can still look really good but not take up a lot of room I'll be showing you some tips and recommendations throughout this video to just some things that have helped me throughout the years and hopefully they'll help you to if you are not subscribed to this channel if this is your first time here I would love it if you would consider subscribing before you leave and become part of the family all right we can go ahead and get into the meat of the video I love this makeup bag this video is not sponsored I've just had a thing for clear makeup bags lately it has two zippered compartments one side this side is shallow and is made kind of for brushes and things like that you don't have to put brushes in it clearly I have other things in it and I'll show you that in a second and this side has kind of the bulk of everything else and the things that I use in the first steps of my getting ready so the first tip I'm gonna share with you is what I do when I first get settled in wherever I'm staying I usually take my brushes and the long things like eyebrow pencils eyeliners mascaras things like that which are housed in this side and I'll put them in a jar or a cup whatever I can find so that they're sitting upright when I'm traveling I'm usually getting ready a little bit quicker or around other people and that helps me have all those things just at my disposal it's quicker it's easier for me to just reach in and get them so they're all out of this side now they're out in the open and now I can work only out of this side I always appreciate it when brands have travel sizes of things available hourglass is one of those brands that offers travel sizes and they're you candy can't products into smaller containers which I do and I will talk about that but I kind of like having products like this just in their form where they pump out and give me the exact amount I need it's it's worth it to me to spend that but I get it if you want to just have your full-size and pump out a little into a contact lens case or just a travel little container that you buy I'll put links to everything down below and sources of containers that I like to use as well and by the way I do have a toiletry travel packing video that has done pretty well on my channel it's a little bit older but it's given people some tips for packing their toiletries and liquids and things I will link that for you below and at the end of the video as well hourglass has their number 28 primer if you have dry skin and their veil primer if you have oily combination or normal skin dry skin people like this - they have these in travel sizes so I pack this this would go into a liquids bag if you are traveling by air so I'm just gonna refer to that from here on out as a TSA item anything that is a paste that can be squeezed out of a tube or a liquid that is considered there are some tricky items that we'll talk about in a minute when you're packing foundation reach for a foundation that does it all that one foundation that you can wear during the day or at night you can share it out or make it a little fuller it can be thinned out or built up my foundation of choice that I pack pretty much every time I travel is do your backstage foundation I also love that the packaging is very travel friendly because it's lie it's plastic it's in a squeezy tube now clearly this is a TSA liquid if I'm flying and I want to maximize the space in that bag I'm gonna decant this into a contact lens case or a small travel jar to save space I would not bring this whole bottle I had this in here because I brought this on a car trip so that's just a little flying tip one thing that I did not show you guys is this I keep this sponge storage separate that's totally optional you can keep your sponge if you use a sponge in your makeup bag I just like having a separate mesh container because it dries quicker and it doesn't get all nasty musty moldy and stinky this doesn't take up much room it Clips right to the little zipper on your makeup bag it'll actually hold two full-sized sponges if you need it to I just use it for one or a small and a large sponge if you can get away with one concealer bring one concealer I typically need to because the one that I use under my eyes doesn't typically work on my face there are two stick concealers that I would ever consider traveling with because they're actually creamy they're actually the only two stick concealer that I like I'll list the other one down below this is the bare minerals bear pro stick concealer it's very creamy it works really well for natural looks as well as fuller coverage looks it works well under the eyes as well as on the face I do find though that I have to use a different shade under my eyes and on my face when I use this usually so I usually bring another concealer this is just great because it is slim it doesn't take up a lot of room it is in stick form so it does not have to go in your TSA bag this is a liquid concealer a creamy concealer that could be squeezed out of a tube because it's in that form the Giorgio Armani concealer is what I would use underneath my eyes it is also slim it doesn't take up a lot of room this is also in my makeup bag if you can successfully set your makeup with a pressed powder and not have your oily t-zone shine through very quickly then pack a pressed powder for those of us who really need that loose powder to just set our makeup and make it last all I need my loose powder because I do find that when I travel I typically need my makeup to last a little bit longer than I do when I'm at home because I'm going from morning until late at night a lot of times so I decant it into a smaller container I actually have the Nakia joy loose powder into the smaller laura mercier travel container it works out well you can also use another smaller travel jar I just happened to have this little travel container I got from some kind of a set so I always decamp my powder because I do need a loose powder I know for a lot of people there's the temptation to not bring certain things because you're traveling but if you're wanting to not deviate from your routine because you do just want to look like your normal self the way you usually do your makeup you want to bring the things that you normally use everyday and I feel like it's the tendency for people to not want to bring their corrector and concealer but if you use them every day bring them now I use a corrector that is a liquid this would have to go in a TSA bag but because it's a liquid you could also decamp this into a contact lens container I mean you use such a tiny amount every day you would not need to decant much at all this would not go in my carry-on makeup bag that I'm going to show you at the end of the video I've been loving cream and liquid blushes lately for longevity not only will they just help your makeup last from morning through the end of the night but they also just look super super natural and so I do have a Daniel Sandler watercolour blush in here it doesn't take up much room at all I would only bring a liquid if you're traveling with checked in makeup or if you're traveling by car if you're carrying on your makeup and you need to put things in a TSA liquids back I would bring a stick like nude sticks or by beauty or something like that now if you have been following my channel you do know how much I appreciate a good face palette when I travel in this particular makeup bag I have the hourglass ambient lighting palette and ghosts is that what this is called lighting edit palette and ghost the reason why I love this is because not only does it have a large mirror in here which is essential when you travel that it has your bronzor / contour if you need contour and you travel a couple of blush options it's also got your finishing powder if you use finishing powder and it's got your highlighter it's got everything you need in it in one container which to me is essential when you travel another travel palette that has been a lifesaver for me when I have traveled is the Smashbox Cali contour palette this palette is pretty similar but it doesn't have the finishing powder in it the formula is perfect in both of these though a little bit different it's got a couple of highlighters a great bronzer here a great contour shade has a setting powder and it's got a really great neutral blush in here and I use the bronzers and blushes and highlighters on my eyes too sometimes which makes getting ready even quicker I am NOT one that packs large eye palettes they just take up too much room I like to bring a streamlined eyeshadow palette it has neutral shades that will go with anything that will also take me from day into night so what I have in here right now is the Tarte man-eater palette I think it is absolutely perfect for this this is a palette that I have brought for travel countless times I do have several other palettes that I bring for travel quite frequently that are small and are very streamlined that's a whole other video though so leave me a comment down below if you want me to do a video on my favorite travel eyeshadow palettes because I do have some that are just no fails for me every time I travel but what I love about this palette and the other palettes in particular is that everything I need is in them there's a brow bone inner corner highlight there are lid shades transition shades whatever I need for the crease or the outer third to deepen it up as well as shades to line with because I frequently line with eyeshadow and now some of you might say that this next item is not necessary but this is probably more necessary for me than the eyeshadow palette itself I feel like I could skip the eyeshadow palette and just bring this and the face palette and an eyeliner and be set so that's an option for you if you are wanting to streamline even more I bring some kind of a cream or pencil eye product that I can put on the lid so in this bag I had both an hourglass scattered light eye shadow as well as a nude sticks pencil because if there are days where I am just casual and I need to get ready quickly I can scribble this on blend out the crease or just tap this onto my lid and I am good to go I can tap this onto my lid at night and it gives me a really pretty look the hourglass scattered light is what I have on my lids today and you can see me applying the nude sticks in the footage and it's just so versatile it's so easy and you just really don't even need anything else but they're also great additions to have if you want to have them in addition to your palette I do keep my eyelash curler in this section as well because I can't leave home without my eyelash curler now my lip colors are gonna vary from trip to trip sometimes I pack them in my bag sometimes they're in my purse typically I bring just a straight neutral nude kind of a peachy pink nude in this particular bag I have Charlotte Tilbury the bits perfect it's one of my favorite neutral nudes of all time it's very creamy it lasts a decent amount of time my lip liner is in the other section so I'll talk about that in a minute and then the other option that I bring is either a deeper shade kind of with a cooler tone or a pink or tone and most of the time I look at what clothing I'm bringing to determine what products I'm bringing the one that I have on today is Bobbi Brown's crushed liquid lip in juicy date it's just a nice neutral lips but better shade that has more pink in it than that neutral nude so I like to have a couple of options and sometimes I'll bring a gloss now the gloss or the liquid lip would go into the liquids bag to not take up extra room in your liquids bag you would just need to bring lipsticks only so for now I'm just gonna put this in the TSA liquids bag and put this in our makeup bag if you're someone who regularly uses a facial mist or a setting spray you're not gonna want to leave those at home because they are items that you use regularly your makeup is not going to look the same when you travel and you're just not going to be happy so I do have tiny little travel sizes of mac fix+ which is a face roll mist it kind of takes away that powdery look and you just don't ever know if you're going to end up cakey for whatever who knows make up disasters do strike when we travel and I have the travel small size of the Urban Decay all nighter setting spray I don't like to decant things like this into travel spray bottles if I had the full size because most of the time at the mist is terrible in those and the mist on these is perfect these would go into a TSA liquids bag okay this is empty we are going to move to the other side now typically when I travel I put my lip balm or my lip plumper in my skincare bag because it's the last thing that I put on after I do my skincare before I start my makeup but I did have it in here just for this video this city lips lip plumper is something that I use all the time I'm gonna bring it on my trip it is in here this would go in the liquids bag this is the hourglass arch micro brow pencil I think that's the name this is what I use every day it's very slim very easy to travel with I also have my brow gel that I wear regularly this is the Maybelline brow precise fiber volumizer this would go in the liquids bag however I will say I have traveled many times with brow gel and mascara in my regular makeup bag and have never been stopped now I'm not telling you to do that but for some reason they don't typically get you for those so you can always be like me and just put these in your makeup bag I mean the worst thing that can happen is they're gonna stop you make you take them out and put them in your liquids bag which brings me to mascara I bring one mascara now typically I don't usually use one mascara I use a light waterproof coat to keep my curl and then I use a regular mascara that's volumizing and lengthening and then I use a lower lash mascara but when I travel I use a multitasking mascara and I choose from the ones that I know that don't flake don't smudge hold a curl and that usually means that they are waterproof the one that I have in here is the covergirl exhibitionist waterproof Urban Decay perversion is another that I choose quite frequently so that is what is in here now if you are going to bring a lipgloss bring a smaller slimmer one because any gloss is gonna have to go in your liquids bag that's just a small tip that has nothing to do with the smaller more streamline makeup bag we are going to put together here in a second I just wanted to give you that little tip my lip liner is usually a nude that goes with anything Charlotte Tilbury the iconic nude is usually the nude that I pick because it applies easily and quickly and it wears a really long time and just goes with pretty much any lip color that I put on so I had just had this little pouch laying around and it's from Ecotools they had a little travel brush set and I just used this pouch that lip liner was in here and the gloss was in here also in here is my foldable lash comb this is something I use on an everyday basis because the prongs are placed perfectly and it just comes out any clumps perfectly I just have clump prone lashes and it just works beautifully and I will not travel without it and no you do not have to put that or tweezers into checked luggage they're fine and the tweezers we're also in this bag I never leave home without tweezers you just never know what's gonna happen when you're on the road so I have things that just live in my makeup bag because I like to not have to repack things over and over if I can help it so I do keep a little note card in there a sticky note just with the extra things that I need to put in there so I don't forget that's another little tip if you do keep things packed like these little travel makeup brushes and the travel primer and things like that those live in there so that every time I pull my makeup bag out I only have to add in the extra things that I want to bring but if I don't have that note in there I'll forget certain things so I do keep that in there that's another little tip for you if I can find decent quality travel makeup brushes I will bring those when I travel because they'll get the job done decently and they take up less room and they can live in my bag I don't have to think about repacking makeup brushes every single time I travel so I have some here from Ecotools Sigma and Charlotte Tilbury most of these are eye brushes one is a blush brush it can also be used for contour powder or whatever so those were also in here I also keep one of the Anastasia double sided eye brushes just because it multitasks and it just takes up less room than two brushes I really like having a decent powder brush decently sized that feels good and does the job decently it cosmetics I hope they still make this this heavenly luxe wand ball powder brush if they don't have it I'll try and find a different one it's not as long as most brushes it's kind of compact that lives in here I also have an extra of the Sigma e-40 that I keep in here because this is a great multitasking brush you can apply blush or contour you can just do different things with this and it is slim so that is a great brush to travel with you know those free Sephora birthday gift brushes I keep that in here because this is actually a great brush to use for finishing powder this elf stipple brush it's very cheap but it's really great for applying cream blush so when I bring my cream blushes like that Daniel Sandler or the glossy a cloud paints this is the brush that I pack my eyeliner is in this compartment and I will bring a long-lasting eyeliner like Urban Decay 24/7 Wonder to or buxom I'll have the links down below to the ones that I prefer to bring because they do smudge decently well and lasts all day now another option to bringing a compact yet fluffy powder brush is bringing a retractable one this one is from Lila B but a lot of people make these and they're soft and fluffy and you can use them for bronzer or contour they just have a lot of multiple uses and I'd like to get multitasking out of all of my items and this Real Techniques setting brush this is really great for setting your under-eye or dusting translucent powder away from your under eye as well as applying a highlighter they're inexpensive so I just this lives in here now these are two brushes that I put in here that live on my makeup table I always put a slanted eye liner brush this is from Mac and I always put a smudger brush this is Soniaji smudger - because when I'm doing my eyeliner I really like something that's going to give me a more precise line and something that's going to smudge it really decently and I haven't found travel brushes that do the same job and I mean these really don't take up any room at all all of these products are now in our liquids bag now some of them because of the tips that I share with you are going to be decanted so it's not going to be quite this much bulk now what was in this makeup bag is now in this makeup bag that's quite a difference I even put the bulky powder brush in here instead of the compact retractable powder brush you can really streamline things if you really need to or if you are traveling by plane I hope these tips and recommendations help you streamline your travel makeup bag a little bit if you have recommendations for people leave them in the comments below if you haven't seen my original travel tips video for packing your toiletries I will have that linked here for you and if you're not subscribed to my channel hit that subscribe button and become a part of the family thanks so much for watching and I'll
