Ahem, i'm not very good at selecting eyeshadows, last time i still packed half my stash (you never know, i told myself, yeah, sure !
).
Anyway, i now carry my Urban Decay Ammo palette, because it has a good color variety. Which means neutral colors such as shimpagne, white, gold, plus pink, purple, blue, green, black. I also pack my small pigment jar of MAC Dark Soul, it's my secret weapon for smokey eyes.
Other stuff : UDPP, black and a colored eyeliner of your choice (for variety), for me teal mostly because it's my fave color and i incorporate it everywhere. Eyebrow powder/liner and black mascara.
Face : primer, foundation, powder, with a huge preference to my mineral stuff, safely locked with scotch tape (which i also pack).
Blush, pink for me, my highlighting powder (a MAC MSF), it glams up your everyday look and to me is a must for nights out.
Lips : colored lipgloss for me, you can also pack another colored lipstick or lipgloss for variety. I also pack a lipbalm.
Other stuff : brush cleanser, my brushes (in pack them in a separate big pencil case), tissues, pencil sharpener, hair stuff to hold your hair in place while applying your makeup.
The makeup is stored in a different bag than skin&hair care, it's a big black travelling bag from Sephora.
