Packing things for the trip is not easy. It is doubly difficult to assemble a cosmetic bag: do not forget anything, take only the essentials and put it all compactly. Lifehacker's tips will help you cope with this.
1. Don't buy travel-size
The mini-package is suitable for transporting "bulky" products such as shampoo or facial cleansing foam. Everything else - tonics, creams, serums - can be bought in small tubes or bottles. They will fit perfectly into your makeup bag. By the way, cosmetic bags also come in different sizes. For relaxation, buy a little more than what you usually carry with you to work.
2. Use empty containers
Save especially handy vials and twist-off bottles. The containers can be washed and reused: pour over shampoo, your favorite mask or cleanser.
For example, Kiehl's face fluid is sold in a 75 ml plastic bottle without a dispenser. It is more convenient than the 30 ml travel-size bottle.
Empty packaging can be used under sunscreen or serum. No empty packages? AliExpress or Amazon to help you.
3. Choose tubes and sticks
It is convenient to take a makeup base or primer on a trip in the format of a retractable stick. It will not open from shaking and will not stain the inside of the bag. Almost all well-known brands have sticks - consultants of beauty stores will tell you about this. The base from Hourglass can also be used as a concealer, which saves you from another tube in your cosmetic bag.
As for the blush, they are also found in stick format. This is Cloud Paint Glossier in a super compact tube that won't take up much space in your makeup bag. The Lipstick Queen's Frog Prince blush matches the pH level of the skin, so it suits almost everyone. It is convenient to take on the road and tint-sticks for the face from Benefit.

Liquid pigment for lips and cheekbones Benetint, Benefit
4. Take cream eyeshadow on the road
Cream shadows are convenient to transport: there is no need to fear that the packaging will crack and the shadows will stain the rest of the contents of the cosmetic bag. Even less space is taken up by cream pencils, for example from Laura Mercier.
5. Buy a set of compact brushes
If you are not ready to part with powder, get a set of compact brushes. Or a swirling brush in a tube with a cap, which will definitely not bend or deteriorate from transportation. Many manufacturers have these.
If you definitely need to take your makeup finish with you, pay attention to those sold in spray bottles. These are found in the line of Urban Decay products.
6. Use an atomizer
If you can't imagine a vacation without your favorite eau de toilette, think about buying an atomizer. Pour your perfume and enjoy the scent as you travel.
7. Buy baby toothpaste
Children's toothpastes are in the lines of many popular brands. They are supplied in smaller quantities, in smaller tubes. It is convenient to take this format with you on a trip.
