Traveling is hard, packing your clothes is hard; don’t make packing your makeup hard. Check out 17 staple items to have in your makeup travel bag!

I’m a busy person, and I know a lot of people who are just as busy, if not busier than I am. I find myself having to transition my makeup from day to night in a short period of time, while not removing my makeup.

I wanted to create an easy makeup kit with some items I use to go from sweet to sultry!

  1. Tarte: Tartelette Tease All the basics a girl needs with a big nice mirror inside.
  2. MAKE UP FOR EVER: Pro Sculpting Brow This is the perfect eyebrow pencil to touch up your brows.
  3. Chloé: Eau de Parfum It’s my favorite at the moment. The perfect fragrance; fresh, smooth, comfortable and totally addictive.
  4. Nars: Blush/Bronzer  After a long day you need to add some color back into your face.
  5. Josie Maran: Argan Enlightenment Illuminizing Veil
  6. Benefit Cosmetics: Roller Lash Curling & Lifting Mascara Gotta keep those lashes pretty. This mascara is great to layer on top of your other layers of mascara.
  7. Eco-tools Recycled Aluminum Retractable Kabuki Brush Perfect on-the-go brush to keep in my bag.
  8. Clinique: Stay-Matte Invisible Blotting Powder Best powder on the market for getting rid of shine/oil without taking away your makeup.
  9. Anastasia Beverly Hills: Liquid Lipstick I am in love with these liquid lipsticks because I can eat, drink and talk all day without this budging!
  10. Anastasia Beverly Hills: Double Ended Eyeshadow Brush I’m someone who likes to pack light, this brush has both a crease brush and blending brush all in one!
  11. Lancome: GRANDIÔSE Bendable Liquid Eyeliner  The best liquid black liner on the market if you ask me! Plus it tilts making this so easy to put on my liner!
  12. Too Faced: Lip Injection Extreme I’m a gloss girl, and who doesn’t love a good lip plump? The lip injection is good to wear alone or on top a lipstick!
  13. MAKEUP FOR EVER: Ultra HD Concealer One of favorite travel concealers for everything from blemishes, dark spots and under eye coverage.
  14. Sephora: Almond Lip Balm Everyone, no matter who you need a good lip balm and this one is made with almonds to help nourish your lips.
  15. Benefit: Gimme Brow Volumizer Fiber If your brows need a little lift, this is the easiest way to make your brows on point!
  16. Tweezers Just in case you need a little pluck!
  17. Picture Perfect Eyelash Curler Duo  I have stick straight lashes, so I need this baby.
