Going away on vacation is probably one of the most glorious feelings in the world. It gives you some quality time to yourself, allowing you to unwind from a year’s worth of work. Most people book their vacations a year in advance, once they sort out their annuals, kids’ school vacations, etc. so they can get the best deals on tickets and hotels.
As a woman, you may find yourself packing way too many clothes, accessories, and makeup. You want to look absolutely fabulous on holiday, after all. However, spending so much time getting ready leaves you with very less time to enjoy the sun and sand.
Don’t overdo your makeup bag this vacation. Here are some staples that will give you the golden glow you want:
BB Cream or powder foundation
Women tend to spend the most time each day perfecting their base, i.e. their primer, foundation, concealer, powder, etc. A lot of women are insecure about their skin and feel the need to cover up as much as possible. When on vacation, try to let go of that insecurity. It’s difficult to completely let go of skin makeup, though, so invest in a BB cream to wear when holidaying. It evens out your complexion without covering up your beautiful freckles and rosiness. It’s also much easier to apply and you can blend it in with your fingertips.
If you happen to have oily skin, you may want to beware of BB creams; they’re often dewy in composition and made for dry skin. Powder foundations are excellent for oily skin. They have a light coverage and keep you matte all day long. Apply with a travel size brush for the best effect.
Cream blush
Cream blush is the definition of vacation makeup. If you’ve never used cream blush, you need to! It makes your skin look dewy while adding some color. Once again, it’s easy to blend out just with your fingers. The soft texture allows you to use it as a tint for your lips as well. Some makeup artists recommend women to use the residual amount of blush on your fingers in the crease to tie in the look completely and give you a rosy glow.
Lip balm
All those hours in the warm sun is a great way to relax, but it’s really drying for your skin too. Your lips in particular don’t secrete oils and so need help with moisturization. Protect your lips from pigmentation and dryness with some lip balm. Most lip balms give a glossy look which works in place of lipstick. For days when you want lipstick, layer on your cream blush!

Eye makeup
Eye makeup is another time consuming part of a makeup routine. Depending on what you prefer, you could be going through steps like applying primer, eye shadow, liner, mascara, etc. When you go away for your much needed break, ditch all those steps! A brow pencil and mascara are all you need! The brow pencil can double up as a liner and eye shadow if you need it. The mascara want can be wiped down and used to keep your brows in place.
